Yep, I could still use help with this Feelies Crazy Rhythms LP. I guess I could just toss it outside on the back deck and take my chances with 113-115 F heat ... but would rather use some method that's more proven reliable and effective.

Shit, I really feel for y'all without A/C. In the 2009 event (reaching 106-107 F), I was actually crazy enough to be walking around downtown one afternoon. It was surreal and I felt like my brain was melting. But at that time, I was in a non-A/C apartment so there wasn't much advantage to...

I'm not super-acquainted with the variations of this track, but I have heard both the "Do The Right Thing" soundtrack version, and the version on Fear of a Black Planet. The wikipedia page refers to neither as "censored," but does refer to the soundtrack version as "extended."...

I didn't mind filling in a few gaps in my VMP collection for $17-20 each. The Books 'The Lemon of Pink' ($17) Sarah Webster Fabio 'Jujus / Alchemy of the Blues' ($17) Queen Latifah 'All Hail The Queen' ($20)

I've never used Audio Specialties, but I thought Inner Sound in Clackamas did nice work, fairly priced, to repair the powered amp in one of my Polk tower speakers that went out. That repaired one is still going strong several years later, but of course the other speaker's amp went out next, and...

What? Something polarizing from the label that brought us Anal Trump? 🤣

Great question. +1 from me, if there's anyone local willing to help me try and fix this Feelies Crazy Rhythms LP. I've owned it since the 90s, and never have been able to play it due to the severe warp that I didn't notice. (I was crate-diving at a wildly-chaotic used records shop in...

I'm in again for another year, as well. One of 2020's bright spots was the Joyful Noise Early Birds VIP experience. And the White Label LPs were great as well. Kinda bummed that they're dropping that series from 12-a-year to 6-a-year, but I understand why (economics).

Thanks for taking a moment to share that, @Bloodlemons ... i'll tuck that enticing info away in the ol' noggin database; it may come in handy in the future as I consider more and more the patron/patreon model as a way to contribute back to (invest in) the arts system that has given me so much...

@Bloodlemons how is the Lou Barlow patron program going? could you share some descriptions of how that experience has been so far? i was on the fence about contributing to that, and might choose to in the future (if there are slots available) for Barlow, and/or for some other artist if they...

I've seen that happen many times over the last 6 months or so. USPS Hold Mail used to update status to say it was being held at post office. Now it updates to "in/at mailbox" or similar. I travel frequently so I use hold mail at least a couple of times a month. Only on rare occasions has the...

"The albums make a lot more sense after seeing the live show." --- I had that same thought during the Portland show. Glad you liked TFS live so much, and were able to make both events!

They are playing Seattle tomorrow night! https://www.songkick.com/artists/9461219-tropical-fuck-storm/calendar

It was an intense show! Only about an hour long (e.g., no walk-off-stage-and-come-back encore), but everyone there felt completely satisfied by the end of it. Not a moment was wasted and this band gave every bit of themselves to the performance. By the end, there were wounds: Gareth had a cut...

I'm going to see them in about 2 hours in Portland, Oregon! Thanks for creating this thread. I spun both their LPs earlier today and I think Braindrops is the better album, but they're both very good.

Hi neighbors. I'm in the Southwest / Tigard / Washington Square Mall area of Portland. I travel frequently for work, so I rarely get to see live music in town anymore. A rare exception coming up is Anderson .Paak at Edgefield in a couple of weeks. I'm interested in learning about places to...

Thank you! I was able to locate this shipment via USPS's "Informed Delivery" feature, noticing one en-route to me and clicking details to discover it originated from Hillsborough, NC. So it seems that I have a few "almost perfect" Yep Roc vinyl items to look forward to later this week.

Where did your Yep Roc "almost perfect" items originate from, according to the tracking information? Like @Twentytwo I haven't seen any notification yet that mine have shipped, and looking at the receipt page on My Account doesn't suggest that my order has been processed yet.
