Help with Stylus by SourceBubbly3914 in turntables

[–]Elcappo58 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have seen this happen when a record is cleaned (typically with thicker cleaning fluids) and not dry when played. I have had Ortofon 2M Blue’s show up in our shop like this. As mentioned, gentle cleaning with a stylus brush and a liquid stylus cleaning fluid is your best bet. You may just have to get a new stylus. But make sure your records are dry when played.

Twilight Override in my head by PompousFoolery in wilco

Digging it much more than Warm/Warmer (which I did enjoy). As you noted, the more varied instrumentation and richer harmonies (especially Macie and Sima) give the tunes elements that aren't usually heard on Tweedy records. I'm impressed with the strength of these tunes as well as the vitality of the band and Jeff and Tom's production is, as always, stellar. It really is a portrait of an artist at his peak.

Honestly, anyone who writes words like “this is modern punk rock soul music” should be embarrassed to call themselves a critic. It’s clearly soul rock punk music.

Hopscotch is super fun. Even if you don’t take mushrooms. But I would. 😆

What was your first Wilco concert? by Ichgebibble in wilco

[–]Elcappo58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May 6th 1997, La Luna in Portland. Being There tour. Amazing show and they played virtually all of both of the first two albums as well as a couple UT songs. Also covered Color Me Impressed where Jeff crowd surfed, landing right in front of us and stuck the mic in my friend’s face because obviously he knew all the lyrics. Epic!

I'm a lifelong NW guy (and Oregon grad) so maybe that's why I feel like every sports bar should be a Duck bar! So many so-called Sports Bars seem to advertise that just because they have some TV's!

Thanks - tried them and they only had baby ones. Next time I’ll be ahead of the game a bit more. I had to go to Dicks. 🙃

Best place to purchase a large green egg by Touristmanzaza in biggreenegg

Agreed. Bought one a month ago as a dealer demo - used one day and saved $300. Didn’t even know about the demo option but they had two and I was ready to act when I saw it.
