  • Not comparing you, just some of the ideas you present. I'm sorry you had to hear all of the above from a stranger on the internet, but I stand by it.
  • Respect to dude's enthusiasm and earnestness and all, but the parts of this that are not grueling because of their deeply elementary nature--those parts that sound like either a) every freshman who's read a couple pages on Warhol multiples ("No, see…
  • Disco twelve-inches that have "Part 1"/"Part 2" labels but actually have exactly the same shit on both sides. Special gas face refill to P&P Records for so consistently making my old ass have to get up and go over by the lamp so I can check the …
  • I'm saltier.

  • Rockadelic said:I love looking at Karlophone's finds....here's mine from the last 6 weeks. Were Patrick Sky and Dave Van Ronk in some kind of coat-share program? In an odd coincidence, just the other day I pulled out that kinda dirt…
  • You used to be from Boston, right? The defunct Mystery Roar--and recent spin-off Condor--have some shit. I don't know how deep it gets, really, but the sound is ideal for moderate to heavy lamping. I've listened it directly, and have also had it on …
  • tripledouble said:loopable The "...but s/he's got a great personality!" of record collecting.
  • batmon said:A rat done bit my sister Nell....... Rockets Moon shots Spend it on the have-nots b/w There they go, off to the moon I can't afford a honeymoon No, no, no
  • BallzDeep said: lol really? I'm getting faint Pen & Pixel vibes from this.
  • JectWon said:The real question...do you think this series will legitimately spark any interest in the general public to motivate them to learn about science/space? I don't know. The original Cosmos had going for it the general public's still-somew…
  • batmon said:I could never listen to it straight thru, but there are some joints. Sounded like dude was trying to keep up w/ the times w/ this project. I'd agree with both of these. It gets said a lot that things really kind of took a turn for …
  • Jonny_Paycheck said:who rides for Batman? You know, that was a disproportionately important record for me and mine when it came out, but I tried listening to it sometime last year and had a tough time with it. In retrospect, I think our connection…
  • dukeofdelridge said:Pretty sure I see Around The World the most often. I think this is probably true no matter where in America you live. That is for whatever reason a record that a lot of people did not choose to hang on to. Around The Wor…
  • I see a fair amount of them, but somehow never the ones I want. It's all like violently partied copies of the "I Wanna Be Your Lover" 45 or Lovesexys with much ballpoint commentary. Either that, or, about once every eighteen months I'll be in some s…
  • Told the bus to pull over so I can shit in Denny's
  • batmon said:Thin crust = people that dont realy like pizza You sound like a peasant.
  • Jonny_Paycheck said:this thread is really lacking a faux_rillz take. No doubt. I think often of the "dressed by the internet" paradigm that he used to rail against, and which has become so inescapable.
  • HarveyCanal said:It's weird to me because on the internet, you say something different and people automatically assume it came from a website or tv that they just haven't checked for and expect you to provide a link. It's like the concept of experie…
  • HarveyCanal said:james said:HarveyCanal said:y'all have taken on the practice of secretaries from the 70's in getting so involved in discussing television programming outside of the home The irony is that unless you're a lot older than I think you…

  • Another thing is that among the Fela fans I know, there seems to be no mid-range. It's all either a) dudes that have been listening to him for decades and consider his catalog some stone-tablet level shit, or b) dudes who caught him during that big …

  • LaserWolf said:Has any one ever seen a person with a monocle? In the real world? Ever? The demure and slightly curdled Simone de Beauvoir aspirant who worked at local used book store/down-low record goldmine O'Gara & Wilson used to occasionall…
