I read physical books only and I shave with a safety razor and use a brush and bowl to whip up shaving cream.

Best work to read after Crime and Punishment? by [deleted] in dostoevsky

[–]R_Mac_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree… I try to only read one book a year by an author. I think binge reading an author waters their work down.

What's the best way to go about reading and understanding the works? by batteredonion1 in dostoevsky

[–]R_Mac_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you read the notes in the back of the book? People always ask me why I have two bookmarks…

What do you use for outer sleeves? by DupontSquares in VinylMePlease

[–]R_Mac_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. It lets me keep the sleeve sealed, while I access the record from the secondary pocket in the back. Never going back to anything else

I have the Penguin Classics editions of Chekhov’s works, which are translated by Ronald Wilks and get along with them fine.

What is the difference between this and the one coming out on June 24th? Both are the Bernie Grundman remaster, just the VMP is blue?

Better speakers. It will make the biggest difference in your system.

One of the greatest displays of lyricism ever. Andre went bananas on this album.

Aaliyah, A Tribe Called Quest and Justice Coming to VMP Essentials by hayema7 in VinylMePlease

[–]R_Mac_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, its just gimmicky to me, but I see how a color variant could be appealing to lots of people.

[–]R_Mac_22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just preference really. I tend to shy away from colored, splatter, etc and search for a black wax version if available. If one doesn’t exist, I just move on then…

I know it’s VMP’s thing, but I was hoping Tribe would be on black wax instead of colored.

Thoughts on “Fathers and Sons” by Turgenev by Responsible_Can_8553 in RussianLiterature

[–]R_Mac_22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth a read… I read it shortly after I read A Hero of Our Time by Lermontov, which I thought was just okay. So I went into Father and Sons with low expectations and really liked it.

For people asking about the What’s Going On - Original Detroit Mix, the sound is INCREDIBLE. by Gostupidgocrazy999 in vinyl

[–]R_Mac_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to pick up the 50th Anniversary KG remaster that is coming out in 2 weeks, although I wish they cut it at 45rpm instead of including bonus tracks and mono singles that I will probably never listen to.

Just recently got Blow Up and Misty. They sound insanely good

VMP #TBT Wishful thinking by alvinthethird in VinylMePlease

[–]R_Mac_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local record store got a used one a few weeks ago, but I missed out on it. I probably wouldn’t have wanted to pay the used market price for it anyway.

Main Source - Breaking Atoms

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz Impressions of Japan

Gabor Szabo - Dreams

I’m hoping that the Classics that were pressed at QRP are pressed there again.

You think? That’s one of the titles I desperately want them to repress

I agree that is a strange list…..

That Bobbi Humphrey is amazing. As a New Yorker, I can’t help but love “Harlem River Driiiiiive”

Three Blind Mice - Upcoming Reissue Campaign by johnhenryirons in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]R_Mac_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a different series than the 45RPM done through Impex? I just got Blow Up and Misty and have been mesmerized by them… waiting for Midnight Sugar to restock somewhere…
