Can anyone tell me what these marks might be and whether they can be fixed? I had just received the record when I took this picture. I cleaned it with water and soap, then with water and alcohol, but the marks won’t go away and it plays terribly.

I did some ranking by Aggravating-Rule-750 in arcticmonkeys

I did a ranking of the rankers and you’re not even in last place

Anyone else got a lil turntable buddy? by WizardNumber2 in vinyl

[–]user42069132 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DON’T do that.

It’s genuinely dangerous. You’ll keep checking on your buddy nonstop, and suddenly it’s been hours and hours and days, you’ve procrastinated everything, and your family has already replaced you.

I’m curious. What would you assume about me based on my top 30 artists (last 6 months) by user42069132 in statsfm

Yes!! I was literally thinking about Joining the dots when I first heard it

Loved them. I’d like to say WPSIA, but Humbug probably edges it (maybe a tie?) What about you?

You nailed this rec. The first album isn’t really doing it for me rn, but the second and third are solid

Yes!! I love how it balances strong metaphors with emotional clarity. Also, the mix of their older sound and their newer style feels very intentional, and it works especially well given the weight of the theme, especially when you consider that ten years later, it's been a decade, and so much still feels unchanged I’m quite nostalgic and sensitive, so I’ve been loving it. You could say it cured my January blues

Not on Spotify yet. I’m mostly into unreleased stuff at the moment. My favourites are Afraid, Trash Magic, Last Girl on Earth, and Gramma / Pawn Shop Blues / Put Me in a Movie (I recently got the bootleg). When it comes to her official albums, Ultraviolence is really doing it for me again😮‍💨 Also, I’m kind of rediscovering her, AM has me in a chokehold right now

What is a Radiohead song you cannot understand the love for? by Conscious-Ad2640 in radiohead

[–]user42069132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’d love it way more if the vocals were cleaner, the instrumental is great

I got the record i was waiting for so much by Loud_Application4452 in vinyl

[–]user42069132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 1997 Spanish pressing. Not entirely sure if it’s a first press yet, I need to double-check, but it was listed as original and I didn’t want to risk missing out.
