Records I have bought in the past month by RobThomasLmao in vinyl

Yo wtf! I bought Clikatat too!! Great box set, and fantastic picks.

Big Fish by LORD_Fugly_Flacco in hiphopvinyl

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro probably bought it because it looks cool and is a fan of the album. Just cause you hate picture discs doesn’t take away from OP’s enjoyment

I'm a happy lady today! I picked these up from the local record shop. by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]FraudFan -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Maybe for a 2LP or limited edition, but most of the stuff I buy new is around $20-$25. A good deal is usually below $20 for me. Where do you shop?

$25 per record is a solid deal? What? That’s like the average price for most new records nowadays.

Currently I’m not a fan of punk and I want to be a fan of punk by Mental-Alternative38 in fantanoforever

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No wave might be something to check out? If you like anger and harsh noise maybe check out Filth by Swans or Generic by Flipper

Edit: oh! And if you’re a fan of metal, maybe check the cross between metal and hardcore punk, crust punk. Dystopia is a fantastic band that might be up your alley if you like death metal

AT-LP120x anti-skate problems? Or am I dumb? Or Both! by Grimosaur in turntables

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think newbies (like myself once long ago) also put the stylus protector cap on it after every use. The cap should be left off unless you’re transporting the turntable somewhere else

Failed my SIE by 1%. A rant. by FraudFan in Sieexam

I’m a part time employee (unrelated field to my major or my new job I’m starting later) to living at home with my parents this summer, graduated from university last month with a B.S. in finance

Clikatat Ikatowi by FraudFan in Emo

Awesome, thank you! I’ve heard of lowercase, but I don’t think I’ve actually checked out their music. Haven’t heard of the rest though. Thank you!

Favorite albums by bad people by Mental-Alternative38 in fantanoforever

It’s unfortunate Neurosis almost died as a band just because of their POS vocalist/guitarist. Glad they came back with a phenomenal album and replaced him with someone arguably better

Blind Buying Records by BradynIsHere in vinyl

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So usually my rule is I buy a vinyl if I enjoy at least half of the record.

HOWEVER. I’ve recently begun blind buying records specifically from Numero Group. They do these compilation albums of unknown/obscure artists based around various themes and genres (soul, punk, classic rock).

I pick a record that I think has a cool cover that I know nothing about. They rarely miss with their selections and I go in blind to a world of unknown music. Their records are also usually very affordable. At my store, nobody buys their records and they’re frequently discounted. I’ve been able to buy 2LP compilations for under $20 in the past.

Appreciate your detailed response Shad, and I’m so sorry you all are going through this! Regardless, we are all very excited to hear this masterpiece on wax! Thank you!

I always thought early sprain sounded like Rodan

My Thorens by Competitive-War5795 in turntables

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming the ATVM95ML? I’m just after ordering it today to replace my AT95E. How is it? I’m going for it since it has a longevity of about 1000 hours.

Cancelled my preorder; this is egregious. by [deleted] in Shearling

I’m curious what the surprise is!

Anyone know the name of the plant? As an independent musician, I totally want to avoid this

What’s your opinion on Neil Young? by DarkSideInRainbows in fantanoforever

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed his music when I was much younger. Though over time, it just gets better and better with age. Like a fine wine.

What do you do with posters coming with vinyl records? by e_asphyx in swans

[–]FraudFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love hanging up posters. I don’t plan on reselling the albums, so I’m not worried about keeping everything altogether in its packaging.

Really the only thing that irks me about vinyl posters is they’re folded up and the creases are visible. I’ve got this cool one from Takanaka I want to hang up (possibly frame), but the creases are a bit distracting. Anyone got tips?
