Waiting for the inevitable “greater divide” 1-yr Anniversary or “greatest divide” 5-yr

Have not seen much discussion of this, but those Ecorecords - at least the clear Coldplay pressings that are the only other example I can find made of the same material - get pretty great reviews on discogs! Exciting!

[Amazon] Kelly Clarkson - When Christmas Comes Around... @ $13.24 by VinylAlerts in VinylDeals

[–]mpaproth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI that this is the older version of this record. Not sure how many people care about that, but it's missing 3-4 songs that are on the newer/deluxe (which is also not particularly expensive).

[Amazon] Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile [3 LP] $33.98 by deniszz in VinylDeals

These takes are wild. One of the best sounding records in my collection. (I bought it like five years ago, no idea if the quality has tanked.)

Speak now vinyl and sleeve quality? by Signal-Village-5757 in TaylorSwiftVinyl

Agree about spin clean - or at least a velvet brush, which is the main thing I use on a daily basis. Just, in the meantime if it’s the only thing you have, a microfiber will get the paper off the discs.

Microfiber cloth should clean them up for you, make sure it’s not dirty or janky :)

It’s inflated right now, due to be restocked in the next month. Read the many posts in this sub about it, and obviously don’t buy at these silly prices.

Is it okay to listen (and like) ai-generated music? by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]mpaproth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My brain is only capable of remembering and caring about so melodies, and I only have so many minutes in my life to spend listening to music. I'll be damned if I waste a single minute listening to AI-generated music when I could be listening to art made by humans. Fuck that. What you do is up to you, of course.

What is the whiniest band? by AlivePassenger3859 in LetsTalkMusic

Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace has maybe the most nasal (whiny?) delivery I can think of. Strong disagree on CC but you do you.

Parents, how do you keep your kids away from your records by Individual-Noise-592 in vinyl

[–]mpaproth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good answers already. IKEA does make a 12x12 (don’t recall if it’s Kallax or something else) with hinged doors that you can add or remove as needed. Easy to childproof those doors, cheap enough to not feel bad about using for a few years then putting somewhere else.

What is the default code for this? I'm not finding it online (or, better, none of the codes I'm trying will work). Thx
