  • When my ex-GF left me she took most of her records but left some real garbage water behind including Bryan Adams - Cuts Like A Knife and a couple of terrible Cheap Trick records.
  • My freshman year was 1987-88, same as Stacks and Batmon. However I was at art school so I was getting exposed to a slightly different playlist, I brought all of the current NY hip-hop and NYHC with me but this is more what was playing in the dorm. …
  • If it was a standard pre-order kind of thing I would have ponied up for a copy just because I love De La. But they are asking 45 bucks for a vinyl LP, that shit is bonkers. I'm all for artists getting paid fairly but give me a break.
  • Sell, Sell, Sell. You can hear that music in other ways whenever you want and enjoy it just as much. Having a great instrument will bring you a very different kind of happiness that you cannot find elsewhere.

  • Has anyone read the comments section of that Wired article? Dudes are taking this SERIOUS. It's funny as hell, I wish I could watch them get together in person and duke it out.
  • I use the regular old Audioquest carbon fiber brush but if I needed to replace it I might give the Hunt brush a try. Seems like it combines the Discwasher and CF styles. http://www.amazon.com/Hunt-Carbon-Fiber-Record-Brush/dp/B001A9ST2G
  • J i m s t e r said: The Oxbloods (Oi!) Been done by a long-runnning skinhead band from Brooklyn. Back in the 90's they stood out because two of the members were Black, but I think those dudes are gone now. https://www.facebook.co…
  • Jesse DeVille said:IMO, decent OFC and shielded cables are always a good choice. Doesn't have to be anything heavy as it's signal cable, not power. And don't get burned by elaborate marketing verbiage. Any online supplier can sell you a great 'un…
  • I have some experience with wiring and soldering guitar parts but I tried to do the RCA's on one of my 1200's by following the video posted above and totally fucked the job. I went wrong by using a heavier gauge RCA cable which didn't want to fit in…
  • When my last band started I was on a mission to name the band Sussudio, I had three people on board but the drummer wouldn't be convinced. I should have overridden his dumb drumming ass because Sussudio is the best name for a hardcore band ever. Whe…
  • Horseleech said: I guess you missed WPIX, who was all over this shit. I remember hearing the the B-52s 'Rock Lobster' when it was just an independent 45 a year or so before they had an album, for example. WLIR also. I grew up in the NYC area …

  • Classic show, they were definitely slipping some deeper stuff in there that I didn't notice when I watched as a kid. It's a shame the DVD's have been compromised due to the inability to clear all of the original music they used. When I see the poste…

  • RAJ said: The store I hit up on the regular is Double Decker in Allentown and his turnover is unreal. Go there on a Saturday and it is FILLED with people. It is kind of scary and exciting at the same time. Raj - I live in Easton and hav…
  • One of my best friends was an assistant engineer there, he let me into the tape library to look one day. Seeing the master reels for all of the Gangstarr, Group Home, Jeru, etc. tracks was incredibly cool. It was a shithole but it was a glorious shi…
  • I guess the genre dividing makes sense if you are dealing with tens of thousands of records, my collection is "only" around three thousand 12" & LP's and I'm not a record store so it doesn't seem that hard for me to find stuff when I want it (al…
  • I have the Bad Brains "Pay To Cum" on at least 6 or 8 records, but they aren't all the same version. Add in CD and cassette versions and I'm well over a dozen.
  • I'm the only one who has the whole damn collection in one alphabetized group? I can't imagine trying to separate things by genre, I'd get to hung up on whether some things were funk or soul or jazz, or metal or punk, etc. Although separating the 12"…
  • "A Northern California police department put one of its officers on leave Monday and is investigating threatening comments from his Twitter account about demonstrators who have participated in protests over the recent deaths of unarmed black men in …
  • It's not out yet, but there is a movie coming out in February about The Wrecking Crew, the legendary group of LA session musicians who played on an incredible number of hits back in the late 50's and 60's. The director was on Marc Maron's podcast no…
  • Just listened to it, pretty underwhelming on the first go 'round. I'm sure I'll give it another chance, but I was hoping for something I'd want to replay instantly. Not the case.
  • It's hard to argue with "Kokomo", but I have a special super loathing for non metal power ballads, which usually seemed to come from movie soundtracks. To wit:
  • Best zodiac record evar:
  • Earth, Wind, & Fire - That's The Way Of The World
  • January will be 7 years at my current job. I enjoy my job but the magazine industry is such a mess right now I have no real security anymore. Scary times.
