    apparently after a few days literally crushing your record can fix a warp

    the email i got from an actual record label:

    "I would recommend placing the record in the poly-lined innersleeve & laying it on a flat, smooth surface (like a tabletop), covering it with another flat, smooth object (like a large book) & stacking heavy objects on top. The record should flatten out after a few days. I've done this with some of my own warped records, & it definitely helped. "

    And your response can be "I hope you have fun with that because this is YOUR problem, not mine."

    i was responding to it because a record had a notable warp (not too bad, but made it hard to drop the needle on the outer groove).. and they just gave me that because they said it wasn't bad enough to refund

    its orindal records btw... buying the dear nora reissue because it was a good album and i found there was a couple left... it didn't even come with the 11 inch insert (they are mailing me THAT though)

    Weird dream about vmp
    Essentials was Radiohead (cover liked very 90s so could be Pablo honey but there was constant mentions of 8 so maybe king of limbs?). R&HH was some dub album, and classics was a Spanish album with a cover that looked similar to fist city

    true melodrama makes you both uncomfortable and makes it hard to look away... you are gripped... you feel the emotion.. but you know you shouldn't be

    its $23 from Juno and they may still have the blue variant for $26

    Literally just popped on here to see if anyone was talking about how great this album is. But I also agree with the $40+ vinyl sentiment. I’ll await the inevitable $20 Amazon price point. The album is her best by leaps and bounds though. Really really great.

    Her albums have always entered at the $39.99 price point for some reason. And strangely, the previous ones never seemed to drop.

    I ruined listening to music by turning it Into a game of "what should I buy" "what can I listen to in this amount of time" etc

    It's very easy to get caught up in all that. It took me too long to realise I was spending my whole vinyl budget on trendy new releases while my Discogs Wantlist was growing even faster than my collection, and by the time I reigned that in I didn't even own any of my favorite albums on vinyl.

    Similar story with prioritising listening to anything and everything for the sake of discovery and worrying about how my Last.FM stats looked, over actually enjoying music I knew I liked.

    I think in every hobby you have to step away every once in a while to clear your head and gain some perspective. It's also a good way to remember what it is you like about this hobby in the first place.........I assume the music and not grabbing as many "new shinny" albums as you can, only because they're new and shinny ;)

    ok after trying out 10000 days and aenima i realized i am not a tool fan... not because of the music, but mostly because of the singers voice

    Apparently the new album has a lot less Maynard, so maybe try that when it's out

    The new album is a lot more in line with singing vocals rather than growing vocals. But it's still very distinctly Tool. Might be worth a shot based on your feedback so far, but I don't think it's going to magically convert anyone who doesn't like their past stuff. I however, LOVE IT so far.

    i think im more a fan of reachin than blowout comb, i dunno if its something about the production or the more heavy nationalist lyrics but it just doesn't work as well

    depending on if they force a sellout of the roots.. i'll probably remove R&HH for then swap my essentials to R&HH for the month so i can have it and not spend the credits i have (probably on something else)

    @Joe Mac i actually i originally had a dragon fly.. but i broke it somehow

    If you use your laptop on your lap it’s really easy to do that. I’ve broke countless dongles in the past that way. Perhaps combined with the dragontail it would be a little bit less rigid against the laptop and less likely to break?
    duke86fan
    duke86fan
    @Joe Mac good idea, I did have it on my lap

    The other problem is there isn't really much volume control on it.. so it would be so much more loud
    duke86fan
    so i've never listened to a talking heads album.... where should i start
    duke86fan
    i really love that every living artist who has gotten N+G ROTM so far has agreed to an AMA... its super cool
