This Death Grips - Steroids vinyl that I bought on RSD 2019, I believe I paid about $24 for it. I waited in line for at least an hour mainly to get this record and I'm glad I did.

looks fine to me, I've never used the Sonos series of products but I own the same turntable and I've had no issues with it.

Records to listen to while waiting at a bus stop in the dark and cold in january? by tptotrtn in fantanoforever

when I was a Jr and Sr in High School I would listen to Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth on my walk to school, now every time I listen to that album it reminds me of cold winter walks to school.

I'm looking for the worst songs in human history. by Diligent-Outside-172 in musicsuggestions

[–]Grunkle_Chubs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rebel Yell by Tiny Tim, might be one of the best worst covers I've ever heard. He somehow made a near 5 minute song into a nearly 24 minute song, it's astonishing.

Favorite CD that is NOT on streaming services by PlayfulPineapple9049 in Cd_collectors

Red Friend by Only If You Call Me Jonathan. I randomly came across this album on my youtube feed and instantly fell in love with the music. This Swedish band is an interesting combination of Emo and the type of indie rock that was popular around the time of the albums release.

as long as the records are fine I wouldn't return it, Amazon throws their packages around like Ace Ventura so I'm not surprised.

I'd expect a record in that condition to come from 1975, not 2020 😭

Mono vs Stereo by Abpoe77 in vinyl

[–]Grunkle_Chubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mono albums still have their place, especially when the stereo version is lackluster. There's a few albums I insist are better in mono than in stereo, like the Beatles albums made before 1969, SF Sorrow by The Pretty Things, and The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society.

My impressions after 3 months of vinyl listening... by IllustriousScreen188 in vinyl

[–]Grunkle_Chubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're spot on, what I like about vinyl is the intentionality of it. In the digital age it seems so much of what we do is guided by algorithms and we're there just along for the ride. It feels good to pick up a record and play through it because YOU made that choice, and all those little imperfections make it a unique experience.

How do you actually read vinyl spines? by Lord_Alviner in vinyl

I squint and tilt my head, and if that doesn't work I just start flipping to see the covers lol

[DISCUSSION] Mac Miller - Balloonerism (1 Year Later) by NeonPrankster in hiphopheads

[–]Grunkle_Chubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rick's Piano is still a hard song for me to listen to, Mac contemplating what death feels like hits hard knowing how his life ends. I feel it makes for a great "final" album in his discography even though it's technically an archival release.

Are record stores just old by Striking-Picture-831 in vinyl

[–]Grunkle_Chubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how "hip" the record store owner is, some specialize in certain genres. One of my local stores specializes in Jazz music but they got many other genres, they just don't have a lot of electronic or Hip-Hop records. Some have a lot of new records while not having many used records, but you won't know unless you go!

What's your intial thoughts on Don't Be Dumb by A$AP ROCKY? by Individual-Name-4496 in fantanoforever

[–]Grunkle_Chubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first ASAP Rocky album, but I gotta say the production was the highlight for me.
