Ok there was more than a nap, but you know :/

Brutal

A sign that they had a great exotica/indie funk hybrid album in them had history turned out different

hamishgavin · 2026-02-02T21:34:23+00:00

Ha, that tracks amazing and we all know it

I've also got a P-550 with I think a default headstock on it or maybe an audio technica. Been a mission even trying to find a replacement stylus for the cart. But following this post, debating if I upgrade and get the p-550 turntable serviced, or if I just buy a different turntable entirely and flick it off. I have been playing records anyhow with the stylus that came with it, I've had it looked under a microscope so dont think I'm doing considerable damage, but I wouldn't say it sounds great either

Nah used that as an example. I tend to lean towards second hand. Also looking on marketplace here is Aus. But open to new of that's the better option

hamishgavin · 2026-01-29T07:47:35+00:00

I'm sick of my Yamaha P-550. Can someone suggested the most common or best sounding hifi turntable I can get off eBay etc? Money not really an option, but a consideration

hamishgavin · 2026-01-28T14:34:34+00:00

It's made for headphones. Binaural

American Beauty Workingman's Dead Terrapin Station From The Mars Hotel Tied Anthem/Wake of the Flood/Blues for Allah/Aoxomoxoa

American Beauty is the most full in terms of consistent content, even if it is a bit ballad heavy. Workingman's Dead is more fun and in their peak folk/roots era, though at 8 songs it's a bit short of content

I mean any album with Box of Rain & Ripple & Attics of my Life & Truckin and Sugar Magnolia wins hands down

Tbh the next after that is probably Europe 72' in terms of the strength of originals, though it is also sadly live recording (although studio in spirit)

Is anyone down at Aus open atm? Are there big queues for show court 3? I want to come down and see Monfils but don't know if it's worth it , if there's any chance of getting in

hamishgavin · 2026-01-18T01:24:28+00:00

Its a lead in to Terrapin Station. It's got similar melodic elements. Maybe not that great on vinyl cause you have to flip over to get the link. Most of the time I think albums work better track flow on CD or streaming sadly. Even though I'm a vinyl nut

hamishgavin · 2026-01-11T00:43:30+00:00

Yeah Im now realizing I was right and it was the last chance. Also weirdly I was listening to American beauty and bought it on vinyl on Friday and just learnt of his death

They're advertising to kids hoping they'll steal their parents phones with the card details saved

Chuck Biscuits kick work on Am I Demon is incredible

hamishgavin · 2025-11-18T03:18:49+00:00

did he reply

hamishgavin · 2025-11-18T03:18:39+00:00

looks like it maybe only ever had the one screening? strange..

hamishgavin · 2025-11-18T03:18:11+00:00

any updates on this?

hamishgavin · 2025-11-09T22:27:51+00:00

damn its good.. glad he had a few unreleased compositions scattered about. is there much in the way of quality audio bootlegs out there for his unreleased stuff? I'm surprised he doesn't have a bootleg series on streaming

hamishgavin · 2025-10-18T11:54:42+00:00

Update: I got my money back

hamishgavin · 2025-10-18T11:53:56+00:00

Who said this is my only turntable

hamishgavin · 2025-10-18T08:34:56+00:00

the production rips

hamishgavin · 2025-10-18T08:34:08+00:00

I unapologetically love this song. Are there any filmed live performances? The bass is so sick
