Moving after buying a condo. Have been using a 2 by 4 Kallax that is gonna be a little too big (horizontally speaking) for my new spot. I believe the Kallax are 58 inches long. I need something closer to 50 inches long and then 3 or four shelves high. I know that means I'm gonna have to drop some $$$. But if it allows me to have a permanent record solution and I can keep it under 2k... Suggestions?

Not enough love for the new Nicolas Jaar album. Perpetually underrated between Darkside, Against All Logic and the work under his real name.

Newest argument caused by music league--

Are the Gorillaz a Super Group?

I'm in two Music leagues-- and one of them has caused a huge argument in regards to what qualifies as a deep cut. Is it:

A) Basically anything that isn't a single or on the radio or..
B) A song that even fans often overlook

Also-- we should get a N&G Music League going

Great article... Why Is An Obscure B-Side Pavement's Top Song On Spotify? It's Complicated.

Holy shit the Foo Fighters are sooo good live. With Ani Difranco and Turnstile also being highlights from day one of Riot Fest.

New Slowdive and Puma Blue are excellent but this is the album that's sky rocketing up my year end list.

No offense to the people who love him, but it occured to me during Bon Iver's set last night: dude sounds like a Muppet who got bored with the Rainbow song and started trying to make Kanye tunes

And I don't like Kanye.

Saturday was a mess of cancelations, rain delays, sound issues and performers who got really drunk while waiting the the weather out, but Pitchfork was still a great time. Favorite sets were Mdou Motor, The Smile, Perfume Genius and Killer Mike. Big Thief, Axel Boman, Charolete Haggerty and Jockstrap were also rock solid. See you next year @ayayrawn & @siremobunny

Facebook just reminded me that this is the 10 year mark of my first record purchase. Little did I know that they would be the main feature of my apartment in 2023. Few regrets about the hobby. But damn do I wish the fucking bubble would burst so I afford to replace some of the records that have worn down over the past decade.

Seeing the Cure with my brother tonight, and I have the sudden itch to put eyeliner on for the first time since my early, maybe mid, twenties

Anyone else shocked by how fucking good the new Foo Fighters is? Not since the Deftones dropped Ohms in 2020 has a band from my HS years dropped such a quality album.
