I have no idea why.

Shel's albums actually sound a lot like Cat Stevens.

Maybe that's why, and I just thought I had an original idea

We already have Johnny Cash.

The singer from Crash Test Dummies should make a Johnny Cash album

“Who’s going to be the guy to email the president and let him know he shouldn’t have the speakers and subwoofer sitting on the same table as his record player?”

Thanks, Obama!

As the parts become more durable and maintenance on the machines are reduced, Sycomen reckon that it means that the timeline for pressing records can be reduced from an average of 16 weeks down to two. Essentially, it’s making the whole production flow cheaper and more efficient.

so ive upgraded my system as some of you now.

Holy balls am i happy about it too. The new speakers are definitely more of what i was looking for. My prior ones were far more muddy, lost clarity at the low ends and had no mid range whatsoever.

These new puppies? Oh baby. Have to roll off the mid on my receiver. I also upgraded to the Ortofon 2MBlue stylus. Even more clarity.

What a fun dumb hobby!

picked up the Mike Watt live album on orange vinyl last night. pumped to jam that one this weekend

Just picked up Okonokos for $30 today from Bull Moose. Was just about to link to it for you bums but it appears that little deal is no longer. Back up to $47

That record is so great. I lucked into an original pressing of it a few years ago, but it was good to see it back in print. I got the re-release of It Still Moves likr 2 months ago and still haven't cracked it open. Maybe I'll do it soon and whisper "Strat..." into the wind as it spins.

Hilarious! I haven't really listened to the remastered version either, digitally or on record. Let me know if you get around to it and if its really a huge improvement or not!

25% off all vinyl at the Wilco store today. One day only 11/17

Hit up a record show yesterday and scored these, almost all of them first run releases (minus the Coltrane):

If anyone is interested:

Looks like they are repressing the 180g 45RPM version from Record Store Day a few years ago
