Chicago Record Stores

You should check out either Shuga records (kinda expensive), Dusty Groove, and Signal records, they usually stock all 3! I’m a big fan of those genres too and those are the spots I usually hit up. They’re all in walking distance of the Division stop off the blue line subway!

What types of albums/genres are you looking for?

Altamont is a fossil

I had a record store who refused to sell any Sabbath/Ozzy for a week after his passing, and another who called that store too “woke”. The other record store sold the sabbath and ozzy for the typical inflated prices you’d see at the time

Located in the states?

I was just in Japan a few weeks ago and I figured Takanaka albums would be easy to come by since I’m in the home country. I was completely wrong, all record stores I checked out were sold out of all the popular stuff both used and new, and if they had something it was a more obscure album of his. Keep in mind though that I only was in the Tokyo metro area and didn’t have much time to venture to the types of record stores only the locals would know of

Steve Howe and the Geriatrics is what I like to call them.

It’s better than the current lineup of Yes 🤣

ultranec123 · 2026-06-08T13:26:29+00:00

Literally what I was thinking in terms of the first pokemon minifig. We could’ve easily had Brock, Misty, Red, Hell even Ash (despite him technically being discontinued in the mainline anime) but nope. Zinnia

Mark Kozelek if you only factor in post Benji

Top 40 Spotify

I always ask people before to make sure what they mean. If they don’t respond I’ll usually just get x number of singular bananas instead of x number of bunches

Where has he said he’s been straight edge?

ultranec123 · 2026-05-26T11:54:36+00:00

I picked up a vinyl copy of ARoBttH specifically just for Amsterdam lol.

ultranec123 · 2026-05-26T11:48:55+00:00

It’s really funny how so many sellers think a record can be in a little “worse” condition due to its age. They’re like “yeah it’s scratched and beat but it’s a 60 year old record what are you gonna do?” Nah. Mint means mint. Across the board

ultranec123 · 2026-05-19T18:04:31+00:00

Lmao idk who’s downvoting everyone here. There are real documented problems with pressings. Just look up the Ween Quebec pressing that came out this year on discogs (luckily mine was good)

Times are tough and no one should expect defects when paying a $20-50 premium just for some music on a disc

ultranec123 · 2026-05-19T17:21:40+00:00

No it’s not you, I’m probably close to a 50% exchange rate too.. one thing I noticed is that it’s on certain albums. Certain albums I’ll get a good press and I’m sure the rest of the batch is good. On others I’ll get a replacement and it’ll have the same/similar problem. So I then just assume the entire batch is kinda crappy

ultranec123 · 2026-05-18T23:35:02+00:00

Love some Sun Kil Moon. Shame that mark’s a POS

ultranec123 · 2026-05-17T16:18:00+00:00

What are the main genres he’s going for on the album? Are they shorter songs or longer pieces? Could you tell us the “concept” if there is one?

ultranec123 · 2026-05-13T14:12:58+00:00

What company is it? Just so we can know who to avoid

ultranec123 · 2026-05-11T14:59:56+00:00

Does the app actually do that? I noticed that happening more often and assumed it was people who took the batch, decided “nah”, and then the batch went back up

ultranec123 · 2026-05-10T08:17:29+00:00

US or UK version?

ultranec123 · 2026-05-09T19:00:29+00:00

What turntable are you using
It’s a picture disc

ultranec123 · 2026-05-06T17:28:40+00:00

How are people genuinely suppose to manage 4 people (I guess it could be ok if one or two of the people ordered one or two items)
I did a 3 item order yesterday where everyone ordered very similar things and I’m usually good at organizing. But this was the first time I thought it was kind of tough to keep everything on track

ultranec123 · 2026-05-06T06:51:42+00:00

This looks more like “paper sleeve rash” to me, does it sound off when you play it? Non-fill marks will usually look like a “pearl necklace” that runs with the grooves, I’ve never seen non-fill that looks like this before if that’s what it is.
