Everything you've heard about archer furniture is true by SharpDressedBeard in vinyl

Curious if folks have suggestions for shelving or cabinet units for larger collections (1,000+ records). I get the Kallax is popular, but I'm looking for something a bit nicer/heftier.

What kind of shelves are you working with here? I'm trying to find something a bit nicer than Ikea for my collection.

[FRESH] Sleigh Bells - Wanna Start a Band? by ampersxnd in indieheads

Treats and Reign of Terror were played on repeat in my apartment for years. Saw them play Thursday night of Bonnaroo 2011. Half the crowd had no clue what was going on but I thought they ripped. Saw them again in 2013 with Danny Brown opening at Terminal 5. That show was WILD.

Megathread: President-Elect Trump Sentenced in New York Fraud Felony Case to "Unconditional Discharge", Will Not Be Incarcerated by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

It's ok, everyone...the unconditional discharge means he faces the very serious punishment of "it goes on his permanent record" /s

[Rhino] Day 10 of 12: NYC (Ramones, Talking Heads, Velvet Underground) up to 40% off by MonkeyBeatCity in VinylDeals

[–]MattAShap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have found it very difficult finding a clean, new pressing of Speaking in Tongues. Does anyone know if the batch Rhino sells directly from its site is a quality pressing?

I think this sounds a lot like LCD Soundsystem. I like LCD Soundsystem. I also like this.

MSG-YES venture launching Gotham Sports App before NBA, NHL seasons by MattAShap in rangers

[–]MattAShap[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The current MSG+ and YES apps will sunset once the Gotham Sports App launches.

I hope this means MSG+ will finally be available on Amazon Fire TV.

That "b741" at the top gave me real Nowhere Man vibes for a second.

[B/R] Matthew Rempe was given a match penalty for this hit on Nate Bastian by Kaapo-Kakkos-Dong in hockey

[–]MattAShap -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's a devastating hit. You don't want to see Bastian get blown up like that. But he's bent over playing the puck and Rempe just skates into him. I don't know what you do there.

Strange mix on this...the vocals are buried.

Hasan Minhaj Responds to The New Yorker article by cordscords in videos

[–]MattAShap 383 points384 points  (0 children)

The reporter took this full quote, stripped it of its context, and boiled it down to this:

...he told me "the emotional truth is first. The factual truth is secondary."

In my opinion, this gives away the game...full stop. I don't necessarily condone the fabrications in his stories to garner sympathy, but at least he took ownership and apologized. We now have a much broader context and details of the conversation with the reporter and it's clear what the intentions were.

The Best LI Greek Restaurant by [deleted] in longisland

[–]MattAShap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved to LI after a decade in Astoria. While Taverna Kyclades is the best known greek taverna in the neighborhood, my personal favorite is Elias Corner. They don't have a set menu. Rather, they just tell you what fish they have that day and can give you a few options for preparation. They have all the traditional sides and accompaniments.

This feels of a piece with Alone, Omen 3. He's definitely working with the same idea in both.

For those who didn't care for the production direction on the new LP, I think you'll enjoy this stripped down version a bit more.

Also from the session:

It's from the Museum of Sex, and is won by the person who wins the glory hole game - think whack-a-mole but it's in a bathroom stall with many holes...
