The Vinyl Thread: Still Listen On Wax, Don't Use The CD

[dad]

Picked up Wagonwheel Blues and the latest Snail Mail from a shop in between soccer games today.

Got $200 in gift cards to spend on records for my bday

Enjoy your 4 new records.

By my estimation I'll be able to snag a whopping six!

I got 8 LPs for $90 at Newbury Comics' sale this weekend; digging through the stacks can still pay off!

Highlights ?

Destroyer - "Your Blues" (/250 limited blue vinyl)
Andrew Bird - "Are You Serious?" + 7'' red/blue
Dinosaur Jr - "Sweep It Into Space" purple
Leonard Cohen - "Thanks for the Dance"

Among others!

[epilogue]

Oh so not a line. Not #6 in line. You're #6 on a list.

[B]

I'm #6 in a future line.

[epilogue]

So when you get to the store on Black Friday you'll be waiting behind 5 other people.

[bodysnatcher]

So now there’s a waiting list for a line? Nice.

[dad]

I bet it’s more rewarding than waiting for a gas station attendant.

[bodysnatcher]

Nah I’d rather have gas than 1 of 750 pressings of a Chubby Checker outtake on 7”

[Higgs]

I'm #6 in a future line.

So is this like when I go to the local Italian Deli and grab a numbered ticket and the numbers tick over on the number display until it gets to me and I can finally order my house special continental roll with lettuce?

But its different isn't it? Because in this case I'm not even at the store, I'd be at home, with a number. But that number to me looks like a number to then obtain the real number in the store.

So how would that work then? I'd go to the store with my number, they'd say "Oh, you're number 6 - please stand in that line" and I'd be the 6th person standing in line outside the store.

So then we'd go in and would I then have to actually grab the usual number at the counter as well so I could get my continental roll?? Or would it just be that I was now "in the store" and could race straight to the counter for my roll?

I find this very confusing indeed. And now I'm hungry as well.

Nice one, B.

Yes.

Actually, it's more like Higgs' explanation.

The dude has a list of names. We'll all stand around the sidewalk outside the store drinking coffee, and once the 5th guy finishes looking at the first box of RSD records, they'll call my name, and I'll be allowed to go in and start looking.

I remember record stores

What if any of the five ahead of you are late? Is there a time limit? Do they have to be there when their name is called?

Well this is a surprise.
