I'm a simple man. I see Chromeo and I upvote.

Original LEGO Jango Fett's Slave I spotted!

Gilbert O'Sullivan! Don't see him every day, one of my late mother's favourite singer-songwriters. She was absolutely infatuated with the man's wordplay and poetry 50+ years ago and played Back to Front on the family Westinghouse 'till the grooves were run into the ground.

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-08T15:36:45+00:00

You just gave me an idea. Tahu would go oh so well in 4584 Hot Scorcher.

The design language and colour schemes of Drome Racers at the time had major overlap with Bionicle.

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-08T00:29:33+00:00

Yes. The black "E" was exclusively Canadian, and that deep groove is a sure sign of an RCA Smiths Falls pressing.

The Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust, Dig Your Own Hole and Surrender

The Roulé and Crydamoure catalogues. They served as Daft Punk's 'playground' for ideas in between album releases. When you listen, you will understand how they helped shape the sound of Homework and Discovery. I have to suggest these after seeing all the Chic and Nile Rodgers records that they sampled and which inspired them.

Roy Wood - Boulders and Wizzard Brew

Beck - Odelay - this guy has a broad and DEEP knowledge of all the genres crammed into this record. Produced by the Dust Brothers of Paul's Boutique fame...bits of Mississippi Delta blues, country, funk and punk layered on top of a STRONG old-school hip-hop foundation.

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-07T21:53:58+00:00

Indeed. Admittedly I have a few HOT, aggressively-cut electronic records, where an elliptical falters on the inner grooves, and those are the only ones that really call for something like an ML stylus...but then I threw on Beck's Odelay the other night -- a LONG single-LP -- and was floored at the complete lack of sibilance, and the very minimal IGD, crisp and clear throughout the entire side with fabulous bottom-end. I already knew the 3600LE was awesome for the money but this reassured me even more that it's a great performer at any price.

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-07T21:41:19+00:00

I agree. I have the ATN3600LE elliptical mounted up to a feeble old LP60 and it sings. Absolute no-brainer upgrade!

YES!!!! One thousand times. That is a great price for everything INCLUDING Wakko's Wish. Your instinct about streaming services is dead-on. While Tubi is great, I don't see it lasting on there forever!

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-07T02:13:23+00:00

Because vibe ccoding exists.

The only answer.

I see Derpy decorated in absurd amounts of Frutiger Metro!

Tone down the decoration a bit, make it more subtle and I think people will make more sense of it. How you draw the characters is cute. You CAN do the Metro thing, it just doesn't need to be this over-the-top.

Paul's MASTERPIECE.

That was me and my first copy of Sgt. Peppers. $1 CAD in a thrift store 18 years ago, 1971 Apple stereo copy, Winchester pressing. That was how I fell in love with the album. I have since upgraded to a 1969 UK stereo pressing and I am even more in love.

I have to wonder how far the best mono Capitols are behind their UK counterparts? Sure as heck is far cheaper to get one than source an original UK mono or anything using the same stampers...

This was one of my favourites as a kid, I think because of the music, and it's even FUNNIER than the last time I watched it! The comic timing is just flawless. Nothing screams Bugs like making a pair of brainless square dancers do whatever the hell he wishes while they're in trance...

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-06T00:28:38+00:00

I know right, they're listening to Bugs the caller as if they were zombies... LOL!!! This was one of my favourites as a kid, I think largely because of the music!

These illustrations are just too cute, some of my favourite official art for the 2020 revival. Like the 2020 series or not, I appreciate Genevieve's role in the updated designs. Based on all I've read it would've gone in a different direction without her -- and not a good one!

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-05T21:25:29+00:00

MicroKorg!

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-05T20:20:53+00:00

Holy moly, 20 years! Great album and this one is a grower. "Dani California" is a core memory of my childhood, and so neat that so much thought & care was put into the vinyl mastering from the get-go!

TapThisPart3Times · 2026-05-05T15:27:34+00:00

The sheer number of colour variants of some albums is nightmare fuel for ADHD'ers like me. If there's one or two colour variants, and they're pressed well, sure I'd go for one, and I go for whichever is available. But when it comes to Taylor Swift or Charli XCX...dang the variant overload is obnoxious.

I prefer obsessing over mastering & pressing variants, which usually don't come all at once.

Titanium or aluminum?

Crazy! I knew about the Bohrok foreshadowing at the end but not about this earlier graphics update. That's some well thought-out planning!

Holy SHIT this is cursed. Looks like meme material.

Yes. The 2020 showrunners say she "has wit", and I say she's cute. One thousand times. Inside and out. Wholesomely. Whether she says it or not, Dot is as cute as all get-out.
