  • Any albums I would love based on All Melody by Nils Frahm?
    Anyone own a copy of Jobim’s Stone Flower 33RPM ORG press that wants to sell it :3?

    Saw a copy in my local today. Seems like it was in the neighborhood of $25. I’m not sure if it is the ORG press cause I have no idea what that means.
    Nick Hakim just put out the AOTY. Wow. What an odyssey

    Yo I am so excited for this one. Got the shipping notice from his bandcamp for the vinyl but don’t know if I can wait to listen to it until then...

    @MikeH if you can I commend you! My vinyl isn’t supposed to get here until the 20th 😬. I just streamed it and fell in love man. Really a moving piece of music.

    5 songs in and this this new Nick Hakim album has really been something, incredibly moving so far
    It’s official. I just got laid off :/. So here it goes, if anyone (or anyone you know) is in a fortunate enough position to where they need help managing extra business I’m happy to extend my services. I’ve got a good deal of experience in personal assisting, community management, as well as UI/UX design. I’m a crafty dude! Crazy times man, wow.
    Have a vinyl gram? Drop instagrams below and I’ll follow you! My accounts @chrstianarcher working on consolidating all my music content there!
    It’s my birthday, now I gotta decide what records to get :D. Thinking these

    Miles Davis - Someday My Prince Will Come (AP)
    Grant Green - Nigeria (TP)
    Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings (TP)
    Milt Jackson & John Coltrane - Bags and Trane (ORG)

    I also want to pick up a BN80, what’s everyone’s favorites?!

    How come when I clean my records they somehow sound more noisy than before? Am I doing something wrong?

    I think @debianlinux is right...you’re almost dislodging the dirt and then not getting rid of it. You’d probably want to have some sort of record vacuum to truly get all that dirt out. Otherwise you’re likely just moving it around a bit. Could also be static.

    The pads are designed to trap and lift dirt as they go, so I'm still on team static.

    I use a vinyl styl carbon fiber brush to get everything off the top after the clean (not sure how effective that is) so I’m leaning towards static build up as well. Guess it’s time to invest in a zero stat?
    Finally diverted my vinyl budget and bought two podcast mics! Time to put my hopes and dreams in motion! Will definitely be sharing the episodes here, I’m looking to interview musicians about their come up and the struggles that came with getting to where they are today. Hoping it will be a bit more mental health oriented than most interview shows. Can’t wait to see how it evolves!
    Really enjoying this Alexandra Savior album! Gonna have to scoop this up on vinyl next paycheck. May be worth seeing her live next month

    Shes good live. I saw her open for The Last Shadow Puppets a couple years back, before her debut was released
    Would love to know how people’s collections are balanced out. How much of your collection is Contemporary (let’s say post-1980) and how much of it is Classics (pre-1980). Think mine is probably 60% classics 40% contemporary rn
    Just bought Nat King Coles - Love Is The Thing (AP 45RPM Press). Heard incredible things about how this thing sounds, excited to have it as my first official NKC album!

    Is anyone else’s MoFi Surrealistic Pillow kind of fuzzy on its vocal highs? Like on 3/5 of a Mile in 10 seconds when they sing “KNOW I LOVE YOU BABY, YES I DO” it gets kind of shrill. Would that be an issue with my Fluance not being able to track that well or more a issue with the pressing? Also are MoFis and AP pressings typically kind of hissy in the quiet spots?
    On another note: I’m caught between a couple different records as my next pick up and need help picking

    John Coltrane & Milt Jackson - Bags & Trane (45RPM ORG Press)
    Dave Brubeck - Jazz Goes To College (Analogue Spark Press)
    Miles Davis - Some Day My Prince Will Come (Analogue Productions Press)
    Art Blakey - Art Blakey!!! Jazz Messengers!!! (45RPM Analogue Productions Press)

    Anybody own any of these?
