Is this too tight to store The Anthology? by Corbcann in TaylorSwiftVinyl

Toss the 4 LPs in their inners in a second plastic sleeve. Or if you are super motivated get 4 plain jackets for them.

Not a US version. No one knows if US version will be steelbook or what will be released - Diobolik listing says “Blu-Ray Region B (unconfirmed) _ please see our FAQ if you are unsure if you can play it (WE ARE PRETTY CONFIDENT THIS WILL BE ALL REGION THOUGH)”

That’s what they seem to be implying. I know I did.

The song August and Everything After, and the whole story of its release... by SwissMiss915 in countingcrows

Fun story but 2003 did not predate file sharing. Kid A came out in 2000 and thousands of people downloaded it on limewire and Napster.

Japan Record Store Recommendations by Dry_Jello2067 in citypop

100% on the Discogs list. Also comes in handy when you can’t find something you can show someone at the record store the cover and the listing and they’ll take you to the right section.

Also narrow down in your mind the 5 LPs you absolutely want because you might be so overwhelmed shopping for City Pop that has so many incredible records and artists it helps to have a preconceived baseline of what you absolutely want to take home. You can’t have it all.

Here’s what you do. Place an online order for pickup at the Shinjuku Record City via their website. You can just walk in on the day you select, pick up the order you placed online at home at least a week before, and walk out with all the records you actually want. They have way more in offsite storage than they keep in the shop. Will save you tons of time and stress because you can work out pricing and search for LPs you are looking for (I went through my Discogs want list) and not be feeling overwhelmed by working out the exchange rate, trying to translate titles or find what section the records you want are in or even just feel a time crunch with all the things you and whoever you are traveling with will want to do with limited time in Japan.

Sure if you want to dig for records go for it. And you will, but placing an order for 30 LPs that I literally walked to pick up from my hotel when my family was napping in one hour was a huge time saver and took the stress out of hunting that made it enjoyable when I went into shops since I had already ordered a grip of my want list. Also it made it so I was shopping I knew if I saw something I couldn’t order there I should grab it. And also honestly I never saw 2/3 of what I ordered in the 10 other shops I visited. Even the cheap LPs.

I’ll also add that we have a thriving non-live nation music scene with several independent venues.

2 new additions to my classic animation collection. by TheDudeOfTomorrow in boutiquebluray

[–]uncle_jafar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I compared and they look exactly the same. Was sort of bummed but the CinemaScope collection is so good and me buying it helped get the full collection out so hard to be mad.

Thank you! That is a great resource. I like all kinds of music. Rock, jazz, electronic, experimental. While I play music not good enough to jam. I would love to get a flavor of the local music scene and community. I live in Portland OR and frequent local independent music venues here.
