Glad to have you. Well, c'mon man. You can't keep it to yourself... What's the name of the record store? I haven't been there, but you never know when life may take you to Michigan!

This is pretty tight. Kinda wish they would've made a studio EP or something.

I did some PUSA stalking and found this thread, and then I found that someone shared my Subset video. :D I have waited for the Subset record release for over 20 years now. Anyways...there's sorta Subset vinyl out there, and it's a bargain! Check out Discogs:

Hey everyone! I’m coming over from the VMP forums. Due to some life circumstances I had to press the pause button on everything and am just now migrating over. I was actually mid build in my starter set up which I will be looking to finish sometime. So, what did I miss in my time away ;)
 
Hello everyone!

Been lurking on this page for a long while, and with a final hard nudge from the rona isolation I’ve pushed through my shyness to join all the reindeer games, and enjoy some much missed socialization.

I live in Las Vegas, but originally from New York and raised in Florida. I have a degree in Psychology. I have some vinyl records that used to belong to my dad (technically step-dad). Growing up we didn’t really have a record player for long, but I always enjoyed music. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve music. I was either listening to some oldies while riding along with my dad, or dancing with my family to Spanish music (we’re Dominican and he was Italian). I used to play the keyboard really well when I was younger, but haven’t played in ages. I’m toying with the idea of getting a new keyboard and relearning to play again. I really enjoyed it. I’ve started teaching myself how to play the guitar since I already own one, and I have some time on my hands (thanks, rona). I’ve been working with the Air Force for 7+ years now. I have 2 cats, a bunch of fish, 3 dogs….and a husband. They’re all rescues. 😉 I’m interested in upgrading my stereo equipment to accommodate my humble vinyl collection and massive digital music collection. My music preference is very broad and my favorites are often based on my mood, and what I want to listen to while doing something else.

Random fact: The Binturong (aka Bearcat) is a mammal that is native to SE Asia and they emit an odor that smells like popcorn!

Hi there! That’s an interesting handle! Welcome to the forum.

Edit: I'd also like to acknowledge that Stephen Crane quotation is great (wonder where you got it from). Why you sniffing a bearcat like that, nasty?! Finally, to the mods: this new member is my wife. I'd like blanket immunity against the ban on personal attacks (I believe I am afforded that right - it was somewhere in our wedding vows) ;)

Mods, I have no idea who this strange, unusual person is. Feel free to punish him. I'm sure he's earned it!

But seriously, just kidding! We are indeed wed to each other. He is the Branch to my Poppy. The Cosmo to my Wanda. The ... well you get the gist. Please don't mind him as he playfully trolls me from time to time.

As for sniffing a bearcat. I petted one once and sniffed my hand (pre-rona era). It really did smell like popcorn, minus the butter!
 
Hello! I'm Russ, in Salt Lake City. Been a fan of vinyl since I was a wee little tot watching a full soundtrack album of The Wizard of Oz spinning on my parents' turntable and wondering how they'd managed to squash the wicked witch (and her hat) into something so flat!? I've been lurking here for long enough to have increased my spending in the name of bargains too good to miss, and I've seen one too many 'conversations' I wanted to participate in to resist registering any longer. Musically, I like prog/psych rock, lots of indie stuff, jazz (if there's a sax, I'm in), and good ol' rock and roll. I'm a professor of human development and family studies, a professional photographer (mostly sports), and needlessly attracted to the idea of accumulating vinyl. Here are a few live performance pics:_5R_1095.JPG_DS_2550.jpg_MG_5284.JPG_5R_9172.jpg_5R_5382.jpg

Howdy kids, Dave here (or not).

I loved Tower Records in the 80's where I grew up in San Diego. All those LP's are gone after several moves and mistreatment of albums. I am reformed now and give them the love they deserve. Recently my parents gave me their collection, which isn't much, but I enjoy having some of the stuff I listened to as a kid (I added them to discogs).

Just ordered a U-turn Orbit, should arrive in about a month or so. Made in the USA.

I guess most of you had been on another or other forums and this one is fairly new. 2020 is my year of reintroducing myself to vinyl, have learned a lot reading forums recently. Keep it up.

Welcome Not Dave! I'm not Tyr, or am I??

Lovely to have you back in the fold, and good to hear some of your vinyl journey. You'll find this wonderful place full of like-minded and helpful individuals. What type of music do you enjoy?
