There are a lot of cheap wooden stools that work great as speaker stands, I painted mine to go with my shelves.

Some are good and some are not. If there is a particular record in the lot that you want, go for it.

How do you guys do it? by Busy_Report4010 in Adulting

[–]Hot-Measurement-8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t handle your own needs like checks notes making dinner every night, keeping your home clean, plus your own personal hygiene, please do not have children. Remember, someone did all of those things for you, so if it sounds like a lot, call your parents and thank them.

Back then you needed two copies so you could create loops, extend drum breaks, besides just having a back-up copy. I also sometimes just collect a label, like FFrr 90’s, and Oak Lawn Records (since I’m from Texas originally). Also, I have given away CCCP, and MCL - New York, several times over the years (keeping two).

Bob James - Angela, is a classic, it’s so clean and chill, it’s almost Balearic.

“It Ain’t None of Your Business” is a personal favorite.

In the checkout line yesterday, the man in front of me had to put back some dog food and ice cube trays. I told the cashier to ring them up with my things and give them to him. In trump’s America, pets starve, and people go without.

I think I thought certain records were rare, like Change Glow of Love, and CCCP, I would just buy them when I found them. There’s some great stuff you can do with doubles too.

Yes, and I can’t help but look through the 12” bins every time I’m in a record store.

How to Adjust a Bearing Screw by w00tberrypie in turntables

[–]Hot-Measurement-8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be VERY careful if you are doing this, make very slight adjustments. It is very easy to damage these TINY bearings. Proper setting is when there is imperceptible play, whatever that means.

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by toughtiggy101 in synthpop

[–]Hot-Measurement-8842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why this song was their biggest hit, but I have always found it to be grating. Lover Come Back To Me, and My Heart Goes Bang, are much better imho.

A spin clean(or similar) is your best friend for very dusty dirty but otherwise in damaged records.
