WO vinyl is great; I love all the artwork that comes with it
WO vinyl is great; I love all the artwork that comes with it
Here's my WO album that I posted here at the time, I think, but man, what camera was I using? looks awful

Finally picked up "Plays Metallica By Four Cellos" by Apocalyptica... weird to have it factory sealed still from 1996 but there we go.
gonna be posting in here a lot because i have a huge backlog of stuff i've recently acquired.
now playing :
spylacopa - spylacopa redux EP
purple / fuscia vinyl, limited to 150 copies; total run of all three colors limited to 500
#68, signed by john lamacchia
definitely one of my favorite things involving greg puciato (until the black queen showed up)
now playing :
mike patton - the place beyond the pines original score
picked this up a month or two ago from my local record store. in pretty good shape for how cheap it was.
definitely like the score better than the movie (which was beautiful to look at but hard to watch, at times...i don't always do well with these sorts of films).
three albums by The Whispers, gifted to me by my wife for v-day. we listened to two of them on saturday, one yesterday.
bohren & der club of gore - black earth
2xLP on black vinyl
played yesterday
grails - chalice hymnal
2xLP on transparent yellow w/brown marble, + bonus purple 7", 11x22" poster, and guitar picks (wish there were more than two)
definitely the best grails album so far, absolutely fantastic
Grabbed "Deadpool Reloaded" and an original 1991 UK classical pressing of "The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld" (mainly bought because the latest Universal pressing wrecks the song flow... but it sounds fan-fucking-tastic).
both played last night:
bohren & der club of gore - geisterfaust 2xLP
definitely their slowest album. absolutely gorgeous.
drab majesty - the demonstration
i can not express how much i love this album (i also can't stop listening to it). it is so beautiful, so perfect, and so well put-together (and i felt that way before i even realized it was produced by josh eustis).
it's also super inspiring me to make more music in this vein and to find a way to play it live. unfortunately, i can't sing, so it'll have to be at least a two-person project. : /
Finally decided to get a Jane Doe reissue and grabbed the 180g. Sounds so good.
both played tonight:
king woman - created in the image of suffering
absolutely brutal and beautiful
junius - eternal rituals for the accretion of light
dark red/black swirl, limited to 200 copies
die cut gatefold cover, lyric booklet
this band has such incredible forward momentum. they're so consistent and yet never repetitive.
Bought; not shipped...
"Man Vs. Sofa" by Sherwood & Pinch (bought because I really enjoyed "Late Night Endless")
"Akabu Theme (raw dub + trevor jackson bonus beats)" by Akabu (bought to complete that "Trevor Jackson Presents: Science Fiction Dancehall Classics" compilation)
"Warzone" by The Missing Brazilians (bought because I really enjoyed the track "Ace Of Wands" from that "Trevor Jackson Presents: Science Fiction Dancehall Classics" compilation)
"Broken (2017 DE)" by, uh... gee, I forget. (bought to compare against the original vinyl I have)
"The Downward Spiral (2017 DE)" by same as above (bought to replace that Universal Back-To-Black release because of the track flow and to give money over to who it really should go to)
there hasn't been any kind of confirmation as to whether or not the track segues have been fixed on TDS. from what we know, trent specifically stated that the digital files that came with the purchase are exactly what they sent to the pressing plant, and the side-separated tracks aren't separated in the digital files, so i'm worried it's going to be the same issue (to be fair, it was also like that on the original promo release, which i used to have).
Which is fair enough, I am hoping though... and if not, well... then I just spend the cash on an original. What the hell, right?
Did anyone pick up the Terminator 2 remastered soundtrack?
...and because I was able to get out the house today;
"Homework" (2014 reissue) by Daft Punk (never owned previously... figured what the hell) (edited: this pressing has mastering issues... sounds like some CD stuttering ((checked against Youtube rip)) when there really shouldn't be any, which is a shame, because the pressing itself is rather nice... AVOID)
"Pacific" (2016 180g reissue) by 808 State (liked the song from the "It's All Gone Pete Tong" soundtrack and was curious about remixes)
"Sound Of The Universe - Record B" by various
"The Minimal Wave Tapes Volume 2" by various

my wife and i spent the majority of the day cleaning and rearranging furniture. i put almost all of my CDs from tall ikea towers into a different piece of furniture (still utilizing two of the towers because i couldn't fit all the CDs in the other thing) and they're all in the dining room now. which meant that i was able to move one of my kallax pieces filled with records into the living room so all of my records are now together. it's easier to explain with pictures but i haven't taken any. i'm just glad we did it and that all of my records are together, out of the room with the litterbox (yes, we have a litterbox in our dining room and it's awful).
Swapped that defunct Daft Punk for "The Hangman's Blues: Prison Songs In Country Music (1956-1972)"
Recent Additions:
Grouper - Ruins (LE)
VA - The Microcosm: 1970-1986
Xiu Xiu - There Is No Right There Is No Wrong (clear), and Forget (pink/blue)
Sons Of Magdalene - Move To Pain
Mica Levi - Jackie
F Ingers - Hide Before Dinner
Turinn - 18 1/2 Minute Gaps (brown)
Raime - Notion (clear)
Solange - True EP
Visible Cloaks - Reassemblage
VA - Outro Tempo: 1978-1992
Atticus & Leopold Ross, And Bobby Krilic - Almost Holy (LE)
Elliott Smith - Either/Or (buttercream)
pretty much all my records together in one room (under my newly hung NTAE prints) makes me so happy
At the Deafheaven show Friday night I wanted the convenience to buy every album and the demo on vinyl but opted out since I didn't wanna carry it/hold it with me. I thought the merch table would be closed by time the show was over so I didn't think of it afterwards. Then when the show ended it was open but had a fuck ton of people there. I said screw it and to support the band like I should've I'll just buy them on their website. Sooooo I did..
I just bought most of Deafheaven's shit on vinyl.
Demo
Sunbather
New Bermuda
When I get paid next week I'll buy Roads To Judah. I wonder how it'll all sound on vinyl rather than the CDs.
i love roads to judah & sunbather, still don't like new bermuda. i haven't actually listened to demo. i can tell you that vinyl suits the music very well. i feel that way about any metal that's mixed well...vinyl is great because it forces them to leave in dynamics that might not be there in the digital versions.
What is is about New Bermuda you don't like? I love it, sometimes it hits the spot more than Sunbather does. I still crave new music by them. 26 tracks in their entire catalog (according to my iTunes) isn't enough haha.
Haven't heard the actual Demo or the vinyl remaster?
Most recent additions:
Aphex Twin - Syro
Audessey & aCatCalledFRITZ - Beats Per Minute
Cavanaugh - Time and Materials
Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker
Dangerdoom - The Mouse and the Mask (Deluxe Edition)
I also preordered the limited edition version of Childish Gambino's most recent album. That should be a cool one to have.

I see, well hopefully the next does better for you. I quite enjoy it and I agree on "From the Kettle Onto the Coil" statement. I love that song. It's my favorite and how I got into them in the first place.
If if you hadn't checked out the Demo do so, it's probably up your alley. Libertine Dissolves is great.
dropped the cash on an "I'm Afraid Of Americans" 12"...
to me, it does sound better than the CD.
I'm awaiting 2 records to come in the mail but is taking photos and uploading an album on imgur something I should do to show off what all I got or nah? Like is it worth it haha?
