I miss the big independent chain we had

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 07 Sep 2013, 09:44

garden something or other?

Methuselah Honeysuckle · Post by **Methuselah Honeysuckle** » 07 Sep 2013, 09:56

The soundgarden is still open and going strong

. Record and tape traders was the big indie chain we had here. From what I remember they got bought out by some company in late 08/early 09. The inventory got all fucked up and everything shot up to out of control mall prices. Sadly all the stores but one were closed by early 2010.

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 08 Sep 2013, 04:01

all used from various vintage stocks today:

entombed - left hand path, wolverine blues, morning star

godflesh - us and them, hymns

snot - get some

ultraspank - progress

vision of disorder - s/t, for the bleeders, from bliss to devastation

carcass - heartwork (lost my original copy)

vintage stock has some good jams sometimes

last thing I got from VS was Clandestine and an original copy of Handle with Care from Nuclear Assault

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 08 Sep 2013, 04:38

Give me your copy of clandestine!

So jorsh, saw you got yourself some Snot there, does this stuff live up to the hype ?

i never bothered to check this out way back when.

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 08 Sep 2013, 09:01

Snot was early Ozzfest at its best.

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 11 Oct 2013, 06:46

Got these three today:

Deafheaven - Sunbather

Exhumed - Necrocracy

Watain - The Wild Hunt

So excite!

A thread like this exists? Awesome!!

This week I got:

Death - Human

Death - Individual Thought Patterns

Death - Symbolic

Death - The Sound of Perseverance

Morbid Angel - Formulas Fatal to the Flesh

Morbid Angel - Gateways to Annihilation

Buying music is

About that Phil Anselmo solo record: they have the vinyl at one of the shops downtown. I love that album actually and want the vinyl but every other time I'm there they have something else I want more and that kind of sucks because I still haven't bought it yet.

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 23 Nov 2013, 00:10

Deathspell Omega - Drought EP. Unless I can find any super good deals on music between now and Xmas, I'm done buying music for the year.

Nice! Seven Chalices is awesome! That Blut Aus Nord LP is a really good one too.

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 23 Nov 2013, 03:01

Sweet mother of fuck, that's an impressive haul.

hafsteinn · Post by **hafsteinn** » 23 Nov 2013, 03:18

Got most of it through discogs, of course my own music i didnt buy.

I reccommend the Hellvetron release, and This heat.

Paste Human · Post by **Paste Human** » 23 Nov 2013, 04:18

I no longer buy music unless it comes in a triptych with candles.

I flipped through a few thousand CDs at the used record store yesterday, and aside from a $5 copy of Angel Rat I didn't see anything worth picking up

I'll probably walk back over this week for that Voivod album since there were a few copies in the bin.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 18 Feb 2014, 05:27

just found out the store i've been shopping at for the last 20 years closed right before christmas

it's a regional chain so there's other locations, but none that are terribly convenient

Paste Human · Post by **Paste Human** » 18 Feb 2014, 06:53

That sucks. I'm not even very social, but I always look forward to seeing the same old people at the record/book store. The last time I was in I mentioned to this one hard-on bearer that, aside from a Sepultura CD he probably already had, I didn't see anything he would be interested in for the first ten feet of the unsorted bin. If he wanted to talk there were several things we could have discussed, but he apparently didn't so he said "thanks" and moved on. Those are social situations that make sense to me.

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 19 Feb 2014, 07:58

Oh thank fuck my new receiver came today.

Also, the 180 gram black edition of Circumambulation came.

What a way to break in the new receiver!

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 19 Feb 2014, 08:09

The 180 gram reissue of Joy Division - Closer should be here tomorrow

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 19 Feb 2014, 08:22

I think I'm going to order that stuff from Profound Lore tonight finally

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 19 Feb 2014, 08:28

Tell me how it goes!

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 19 Feb 2014, 09:14

Will do.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 19 Feb 2014, 11:56

also haffy's post clued me into the fact that there is a mind-bogglingly huge selection of vinyl for sale on discogs so i went and ordered me an original hell awaits

but i think i have to wait for the seller to send me his paypal address because i don't see it anywhere. i hope that splendid mate of mine acts fast

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 20 Feb 2014, 01:47

I also learned of this from Haffy's post

Discogs

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 20 Feb 2014, 02:12

I need to pay attention to Discogs more often now that I have the thing which plays vinyl.

The last haul I had was Shroud of Despondency's Tied to a Dying Animal. 2 discs. The first disc is the band playing while plugged in. Disc 2 is acoustic stuff Rory likes to throw in on his albums. This release is the first one with a whole disc dedicated to the acoustic shit. Highly recommended.

I'm done plugging this band now.

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 25 Feb 2014, 02:26

NICE! How much did that cost you?

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 25 Feb 2014, 02:42

i opted to get the roadrunner pressing as that was like $10-15 cheaper than all of the combat/metal blade pressings in similar condition (the different labels were just for different territories, RR being the european release and combat being the american). it was $30 shipped, and the disc is in great condition considering it's just shy of 30 years old. it could use a washing and there are a couple of pops on the end of side 1, but i'm very pleased with it overall. the sound compared to the CD/MP3 versions i have is unreal.

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 25 Feb 2014, 02:51

Sweet. There's something about vinyl that makes music sound so special.

Not that this question matters too much but did you get this LP colored, splattered or traditional 180 gram black?

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 25 Feb 2014, 06:02

Stormy: fucking

acquisition, man

[quote name="Dr. Gonzo"]Not that this question matters too much but did you get this LP colored, splattered or traditional 180 gram black?[/quote]

none of the above! it's an original from 1985, it's plain black, probably 140g. 180 and up is heavyweight, usually only found on newer re-releases and special editions and such.

and in my experience it can be pretty important in terms of sound quality, more often than not fancy color editions (and especially picturediscs) sound bad. out of my collection, the transparent blue reissue of altars of madness is especially bad (which i didn't discover until ten years after buying it when i finally had a chance to gave it a spin), to the point that i emailed the earache asks blog complaining about it and asking what happened

the only colored vinyl i've got that i was very happy with the sound quality on is the neurosis 180g reissue of souls at zero. i generally avoid purchasing them now if i can, and always opt for black if given a choice.

The 180gram transparent blue Emperial Live Ceremony sounds great. That said, I haven't compared the sound between colored vinyl and black so I can't say anything, but in practice I've taken your word for it when shopping for my records.
