Just a primate who collects #vinyl. Music isn’t everything, but it’s an awful lot.

@icastico @benthos @vinylrecords as somebody who works at an amazing independently owned record store that’s been in business for 35 years, this entire thread makes me cringe. My boss’ reputation is that of being a fair businessman, and his customers have rewarded him by keeping him in business for more than 3 decades. We’re in Canada. He sells copies of Foreigner 4 for $12 CAD. IN MINT. 🙄

    The soundtrack release on is fine, but I'm waiting for someone to create a top-loading single-button record player to put it in.

    The Strokes - Is This It. The proper version. @vinylrecords

    TheVinylApe,
    @TheVinylApe@masto.ai avatar

    @Whiskeyomega @vinylrecords the PROPER version is right. That other cover is a travesty and I hate the track listing. This one you have is great. Someone stole mine from a party a bunch of years ago.

    @simongarlick @markmetz @vinylrecords the hippies are the biggest failures in the history of civilization.
    It is not something that can be argued. When the majority of the most recognized “leaders” of your movement (the ones that survived) say it, well, that’s a pretty big failure. ALL OF THEM SOLD OUT. Each and every one of them.

    @icastico @vinylrecords one of the most annoyingly catchy songs of all time.

    When I was 9 yrs old I went to this event at a park with music and games. A local radio station was there, offering prizes to people. If you could throw X number of frisbees through this hula hoop you could choose a record from their stash. I won.

    It was my first experience choosing my own music. I saw Billy Squier’s “Emotion in Motion.” It was brightly colored so I took it home and put it on our record player. It was my gateway to a lifetime passion of music.

    @TheVinylApe@masto.ai avatar

    @markwyner I friggin love Billy Squier. I have my oldest sister to Thavk for my love of this album. It was part of her record collection when I was 8, and loved it from the start. Great album.

    Tortoise not @vinylrecords

    Bought this the day it arrived at my local record store. They unpacked it and put it on while I was browsing - I bought it off them before the staff had heard it all the way through.

    PAVEMENT
    Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
    2010 U.S. reissue

    No offense to anybody who likes Slanted and Enchanted, but to call that Pavement’s best album when THIS ONE exists is asinine and laughable.
    It is a flawless indie rock record from start to finish, and superior to S+E in every way imaginable.
    An absolute classic and essential record.

    Kind of a tough night for your good pal The Vinyl Ape.
    An accidental mishap with insulin lead to a very long ordeal which included an ambulance ride and an overnight stay in the hospital.
    I have returned home now and am resting.
    That was some scary shit.
    I’m so very thankful to be alive.
    Take care of yourselves and one another.

    @Whiskeyomega lol. I’m trying man. Just a diabetic mishap. Will be right as rain again after today.

    QUICKSAND
    Distant Populations
    2021 U.S. pressing

    Another sweltering day outside, so I’m throwing heat on heat.
    This was my favorite album of 2021, hands down. Superior to Interiors, their reunion record from 2017.
    Long one of my favorite bands, I continue to pledge allegiance to the flag of the badass state of Quicksand.
    Their album MANIC COMPRESSION was recently reissued, & i ordered it today.
    It’s on its way!
    Then my Quicksand collection will be complete.

    @markwyner that album is a monster. Been on my list for well over a decade. I was waiting for a reissue, cuz I missed out on the SRC pressing. Can’t wait for it to get here. This new one is courtesy of Asbestos Records.

    BLACK SABBATH
    Sabotage
    1975 Canada pressing

    A little Sunday Sabbath never hurt anyone.
    I friggin’ love Sabotage. The back-to-back punch of Symptom Of The Universe and Megalomania do it for me every time. Not to mention the epic, gnarly closer The Writ.
    It’s almost time to find a new play copy of this, as I’ve had it a long time and have drilled it into the ground.
    I will continue to.
    One of my favorite hard rock records ever.

    @TheWarlock666 @zornslemmon @cazabon I have this on record. There’s like 30 of em used at my local store. I remember seeing Strange Brew as a kid and being utterly confused by it. After living in Canada for 16 years, it now makes perfect sense. 😂

    @TheVinylApe@masto.ai avatar

    post-Covid has become a living, breathing repugnant nightmare.

    Your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape was already supposed to be back on Van Isle; in the loving arms of my wife + son (& ).

    5 hours before my early am Tuesday flight, Air Canada CANCELLED my plane; citing “limited staff”.
    Next available flight?
    THURSDAY.

    The Ape is stuck here in New England for another TWO fucking days; a lonely, sad, angry primate; out for Air Canada’s blood.
    Stay at home people.
    It’s not worth it.

    @Whiskeyomega oh there’s PLENTY.
    But I’ve already spent a significant amount of money, and I’m running out of storage to bring them back. I’ve got about 20. That should be good enough for this trip.
    SHOULD. 😂
