Welcome - Introduce Yourself Here

It's nice to see you all here! I feel like this transition came at a... well... very transitional time in my life. I'm giving up drinking and trying to focus on some positive goals in life, and as such I am hoping to introduce a more pleasant, positive, kinder, and gentler person to you all on these forums. I found too much motivation to post over at the other place to be driven by frustration and negativity surrounding the business itself in one way or another so I probably came across as a bit of a complainer a lot of the time. I'm grateful that this new home extracts that piece of the equation so we can all just focus on music and other positive things together. I won't promise that a rant will never cross my keyboard, but I am going to try my best to make this a wholly positive experience.

Thank you to everyone who made this place a reality. I'm so pumped to see so many familiar names already. This is really going to be better for all of us!
 
Speaking of, we're gonna need at least some censors before the trolls arrive, right?

I think I'll miss having f bombs censored, TBH. It had a somewhat deflating effect when anybody got a little *too* angry. It was like a built-in humbling, in my mind.

I totally agree, but figure I'm in a minority.

Personally, I'm all for using the Good Place system of fork, shirt, bench, ash, and cork.
 
HEEEEEEEY THEEEEEERE!!!!!!!

I'm so happy about this, thanks x100000 to all the awesome people who set this up.

My name is Arnold, I used to go by @wallystripes on the [redacted] forum, by I decided to change it, because that is a name I made up when I first started using social media during my teens, so it feels a little bit odd now.

Anyway, I'm so excited to be here and share all kinds of convos and music with y'all, specially about Jazz ;)
 
Hello all... I live in the Monterey area in California. I'm in my mid 30s and I've been a CD collector since high school, but in a recent move a box with all the CD art and packaging in it was lost (the CDs are safe in a few giant binders), and it was the push I needed to get into vinyl. So, I'm not quite a year into all this, but I've mostly loved going to the local record store not knowing what I want to get and knowing I can only leave with one or two albums, an experience that takes me back to high school and the hours I spent at the record store when it was full of CDs.
