I'm Enjoying the parts more without Jason on the bass. It's just a drone but it's seems to have been remastered to bring it out and hasn't done a great job. One is the best track so far.

@Whiskeyomega @TheVinylApe @vinylrecords I never understood the appeal of Suede. And I realize it’s a British thing, because my country didn’t want them and they failed miserably there, but I can respect Butler’s guitar playing. But Brett Anderson’s voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Or somebody swinging around a sack full of injured cats. Any aspect of those Suede records I appreciate immediately get canceled out by that “guy’s” voice.

@Whiskeyomega @vinylrecords the worst produced, recorded, mixed and mastered album of all time.
It was absolutely shameful for a “professional” band.

@RVLara23 @TheVinylApe @Whiskeyomega @vinylrecords attempting to be raw and garage-y is one thing.
But drums that sound like they were recorded inside a tin can and a complete lack of bass is another.

Even indie garage bands who record on their own in their own basements back in the 80s managed to get better sound. Those songs were so good. It’s a shame they’ve never been done true justice.
This is a conversation I’ve had many times with many people.

@agustinharo @vinylrecords @old_hippie 👍 very nice.
We have a customer who is a rabid GD fan and he just sold us a huge chunk of his collection. Everything from 67-81 was in there, as well as some very expensive box sets. I asked him “Larry why are you getting rid of all your Dead?”

He said “I’m not. These are all duplicates.”

@agustinharo @vinylrecords @old_hippie you have NO idea.

He regularly rocks a shirt he had made with a picture of him and Jerry Garcia on it taken in the 80s on it.

He may also live in a house made of wheat. We’re still trying to verify that, though. 😂

- the reboot of sound collector audio review, large format zine i wasn't hep enough to read in the '00s. nothin' but writing about not-new albums (, , , , , more), long & longer form by record review standards, short by essay standards. many feel (in nice ways) like hyper-condensed 33 1/3 books. not all to my taste, but all passionate. beautiful antidote to the etc. bullshit. free at record stores: https://soundcollector.com/stockists @vinylrecords

1/2:

where to begin….

Let’s start with they’re pretentious.

They delete reviews, change reviews, automatically give bad reviews to bands that are popular (when they choose to do so). They will also, on purpose, review albums they normally wouldn’t, just got the sole purpose of shitting on them.

They listen to an album once (if that), review it two days later, which is a terrible way to truly assess something.

2/2:

I know these things to be fact because I have a friend I’ve known for 25 years who used to work there, and he left because he no longer wanted to be associated with how they talk about art and music.

If you like them, that’s fine. I’m just telling you they’re not what they seem or claim to be.

TheVinylApe,
@TheVinylApe@masto.ai avatar

@bourgwick @vinylrecords Pitchfork is everything that’s wrong with how people talk about music.

I have no respect for them or anybody associated with them.

Updated the servers themselves and updated mastodon glitch again. Mostly backend stuff again.

@Whiskeyomega quick question man…

I don’t like having a character limit, and I notice things that people are on like universeodon that don’t seem to have any limits.
How do I switch from the one that I’m on to one without character limits?

@Whiskeyomega @vinylrecords maybe the most rude and disrespectful person I ever had the displeasure of meeting.

My hope is that Andrew has grown up over the past 15 years and has learned how to treat people with kindness.

This is a reminder to buy more black versions for when I really care enough about surface noise on a record. Absolutely silent pressing

TheVinylApe,
@TheVinylApe@masto.ai avatar

@Whiskeyomega @vinylrecords @waxandbeans a pretty good record, but other than First Impressions Of Earth, probably my least favorite. They got far more interesting to me after that.
The FIRST record though? As perfect of a debut record as one could hope for.
Somehow, it sounds even better today. So fresh.

Found a sick metalcore band on Bandcamp with a single social link on their page going to their Myspace profile.

This is the internet we need back in our lives.

@btp Wasn’t MySpace fired into the sun fifteen years ago?
That’s like using a BetaMax machine.

No ones bought a mug in a while which surprises me. Maybe I dont advertise them enough. Got a complete collection of 5 mugs and they're the perfect size for a cup of tea.. Yellow, Blue, Red, Green & Orange

NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL
In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
2009 U.S. Reissue

Although I find it’s mythology and importance to be greatly exaggerated, it’s a pretty fantastic and unique record.
It’s been overanalyzed (to hilarious effect), but you can’t ignore his singular it was for the time it came out.
It was also a uniquely RECORDED album, and I think the production and overall sound of it adds to the mythology.
Nothing sounded like it.
Just a pure piece of art.

LED ZEPPELIN
And IV To Go
1987 U.S. Unofficial Bootleg

Found this in a thrift a few years back. It wasn’t even in with the records, as I found it in a box of old magazines.

The label says “American Heroes” as the artist, and falsely identifies the label as “Ugly Duckling Music”.

Musically, it’s got a few variations of Stairway To Heaven on it, a few random instrumentals, a Black Dog rehearsal tape, as well as No Quarter.

Cool artifact, but a rough listen.

Was just taking a picture of my cat, and I accidentally caught him mid-yawn.
It gives off major “Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers” vibes.

KEI OGURA
[title unknown because I don’t speak Japanese]
1976 pressing

Saw this in a clearance bin today, & had to have it.
I had no idea what it was. Didnt care.
When you see a cover like THIS, you hand over $ 2 & ask questions later.
I mean, THAT is fucking beautiful.

The artists name is KEI OGURA and the music is sort of orchestral folk pop? I kinda dig it, but the cover’s heading into a frame.
Anyone speak Japanese? Would like to know the album name.

Father/son music night, and the boy got to pick tonight’s two albums while we play Ticket To Ride.

Again… HIS choice.
And quite the interesting choice it was. He chose Waxwork Records’ reissues of the first two Friday The 13th #soundtracks .

He’s never seen any of the films, and he won’t ever. He hates horror movies. However, he loves good music. And he recognizes just how cool Harry Manfredini’s scores are.
