    TTLab doesn't make it's living selling $8 12"s to hipsters.

    I swear some of you guys should pool your loot and buy a fuck turntablelab banner ad

    I think they mean it is hard for them (the buyers at TTL) to find - i.e. distributors don't have it. If they are overcharging for it, that means they overpaid for it.

    fool i don't give a fuck how they make a "living", BUT THAT IS NOT A RARE 12" end of story.

    makes sense, they should probably phrase it as such as to not confuse the audience.

    For real. I'm amazed they have the time or patience to do writeups on just about every item in their catalog, but I'm glad they do; if not informative, they're almost always interesting.

    Besides, if someone buys that Lil Flip 12" on the basis of TTL saying it's "rare," who's really the chump?

    Damn tell em why you're mad!

    Soulstrut: where guys get upset at misuse of the word "rare"

    They make a living selling 12"s to kids who don't have a record shop in their entire county.

    Would you like them to write, "we were overcharged for this, therefore we are passing the cost onto you, the buyer." ???

    Good business tactic, that.

    word.

    i gotta say to the dudes with access to the latest shit and dolla bins for miles why are you even peeping the lab if it only annoys you?

    i don't see anybody who has their product on TTL complaining about them thats fer sure.

    Not knowing how the industry works, I'm not surprised that he can't figure out the TTLab website either.

    I'm amazed dudes on SoulStrut have the time or patience to do critiques on the writeups on just about every item in their catalog...

    Oh we do, hon. I mean Myrtle, did you see that unforgivable typo on their listing for the new Common "Corners" remix? "Scareface" indeed! Golly day, I say. Golly day.

    I fuckin LOVE TTLab...that site is the shiznizzle. I get all types of cool shit I can't find anywhere else cause I don't have a car and Amoeba, although huge, kinda sucks. it's all about that Los Hermanos 12"
  • BrianBrian 7,618 Posts
    i saw some review on there that spelled dj quik "dj quick" and i thought they were going to get shot the fuck up after that.
  • soulmarcosasoulmarcosa 4,296 Posts
    They do need a search function up in that site though
  • BrianBrian 7,618 Posts
    dogs, you got a search function when you digging in the crates? that's what i thought.

    Son I thought you knew. Meet my IRL "search function" -

    the Ever-Seeking for Marco's Cratefillers team:







    You didn't think I found all those "weekend finds" myself did you? (sigh) My rental properties in the Caymans need the hands-on expertise only I can give. I leave the finding of the raers to the ESMC. Give 'em a few Red Bulls and a bag of Doritos and they're good for an entire afternoon. Throw in some Twizzlers on Friday evening and it's guaranteed I'll end up with a holy grail by Sunday night.

    Look at my digging team. Now look at Marco's. You really think it's credible that I would be jealous of him?
