  • The most legendary Bay Area dealers are before my time, but if anyone here knows the story of the record store (pretty sure it was Bayview Records?) in Albany on Solano Avenue that Beni B and Josh D used to buy 45s at right before it closed, I'd lov…

  • Neither NPR nor CPB really own much of anything nor would they have the cash to do this. And anything under 91.9 is commercial free and must serve public interest, and is bound by stricter regulations. What I simply do not comprehend is the m…
  • The_Non said:Pack your POD game tight if you use it, because if anything happens, anything whatsoever, they will blame you, even if you have insurance. Yeah the more I read about these things the less interested I am.
  • Finished this last week and wanted to revive this thread. First off, this is an incredibly well-researched book, particularly the first half. So many stories that I'd never heard, and a lot of details that other writers might have left out, f…

  • finelikewine said:Yamaha HS 80 M or KRK Rokit 5. I've heard the Yamahas and if you like NS10s then you will like them. If you hate NS10s you will want to jump out the window, because all the same issues are there. Yamaha designed it as an upda…
  • What not to buy: Mackie HR824s (had 'em about 3 years ago, yuck) Newer Adams (I hear the manufacturing quality has gone downhill) Newer Genelecs (some people swear by them but to me they are one big ice cream scoop of big bass and ultra…
  • Been listening to them since 2002, love every album. Got a family connection to one of their parents, so call me biased, but these guys are the real deal and are truly one of the best bands to come up this past decade. It's worthwhile going back and…
  • About to head out the door but my two cents: use the nice converters. Tis why you have em. As far as organization, there are three schools of thought: 1) use iTunes 2) use hierarchical folders on your mac to organize crates. …
  • Damn, every location in the Bay is sold out. Girl on the phone told me some dude just bought out their whole remaining stock.
  • mannybolone said:maru said: after a certain point you just have to tell yourself you're basically paying for living in the Bay Area Well, yeah. I mean, that's why housing prices are high in cities like LA, SF and NY: people want to live there …
  • The point re: house as an investment is even MORE crucial in a post-bubble housing market - whereas before it was assumed that CA property everywhere would at the absolute minimum maintain its value, that's no longer true. Thinking of a house as an …
  • Years away from that point in my own life, but I went through this when my Dad bought a home in the East Bay two years ago. There's just no easy way around the reality that if you have kids finding a safe neighborhood with good schools in the Bay Ar…
  • Indeed - the homie's dedication to records outdoes the vast majority of people doing it. No way I could be out putting in that kind of work while handling a full time job.
  • Finally read this thread after hearing about it from the homie. I listened to the whole album, straight through last night on the way down to SD. Everyone I personally know here who likes this record, y'all have some questions to answer. This…
  • my instincts point to bad, but could have some interesting moments.

  • Willie Hightower scrolling text!
  • Shipping for a 45 should be $3 via First Class - I do it all the time and $3 is almost exactly at cost including delivery confirmation, to the penny.
  • What are three of those records you wrote down? I didn???t keep em for sampling purposes. Curtis Mayfield???s ???Superfly??? a Barry White???s Greatest Hits??? a gray album and everything else on it was black. [thinks] It might be fucking…
  • Gabe's are the best I've ever used, highly recommended.

  • That dunk tank looks COLD. F*ck Federal laws that ban breweries from selling beer direct to customers. I'd buy a case of Odell and Yuengling right now.
  • Absolutely. I'd say the most serious, hardcore collectors are buying/trading for most of their pieces well outside of eBay.
  • First off, the zoobooks analogy doesn't make much sense. I spend tons of my time with this stuff and it still makes no sense who the monkeys are. And the vast majority of artists haven't been chasing big record labels for quite some time now. Indepe…
