What are you looking at for Record Store Day? It always leaves me a bit underwhelmed, but then I think my tastes are a little arcane, but then I think that record buyers tend to have arcane tastes. I mean, are people really buying Destiny's Child records? Or Britney Spears remixes? Or live TOTO records?

I was looking at:

Boys Next Door - Door, Door
Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets 10"

Might look at the Team Dresch comp, Refused radio sessions, and the June of 44 reissues. I have Wipers - Is This Real? and don't really see the difference from the RSD version. I love Bitches Brew, but I don't know about 2 LPs worth of demos for it.

Since you mentioned the Meat Puppets I just want to say that "Taste of the Sun" is such an unbelievably beautiful song and among my favorite songs by any band ever.

Also I saw that Screeching Weasel just released a new album and yes it is awesome. Now if we also get a new Queers or Dickies album it might be enough to save this absolutely horrible year.
Have a tix for a huge hardcore festival in late May headlined by the Gorilla Biscuits in Brooklyn that is incredibly unlikely to happen. I hope they reschedule this because they are like the one band I listened to in High School I've never seen live.

Got tickets to Billy Joel in September at MSG...really hoping it doesn't get postponed. Gift from a business partner, never seen him live.

If that doesn't work out, you can always see him at the NVMC farewell concert. Or then later at the NVMC reopening concert.

I'd be shocked if that concert happens.

Good to see some vinyl in here! Spent a bit of time this quarantine rehabbing my dad's 1981 MCS 6701 turntable, which is a rebranded Technics SL-D5. Despite being locked away in their basement for over 25 years, it didn't need much to become serviceable again - lots of cleaning, a new cartridge, and a quality phono preamp since I didn't already have one.

Needless to say I've been spending a ridiculous amount of money on LPs the past couple of months. I've had five or six of these for a few years but the rest have all been bought recently. My collection as of today:

Alkaline Trio - From Here to Infirmary (red & black edition)
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Beach Bunny - Honeymoon
Foo Fighters self-titles
Nada Surf - Let Go
Nada Surf- The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy
Nirvana - Nevermind
Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs
The Postal Service - Give Up
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Strokes - Is This It
Tennis - Swimmer
The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
Vampire Weekend self-titled
Yes - 90125

By the time I click "Post Reply" I will probably have ordered more

Crossing my fingers for you. Was supposed to see The Rolling Stones for the first time on the 5th

 

[Islesfan22]

Not a big Queen fan but would have loved to seen them live. Mostly listen to 80s rock and some 90s alternative. Don’t listen to any modern day music. I meant to say with Freddy Mercury of course.

That's great. I've been saving some vinyl and old audio equipment but decided to sell it all just before C19 hit. When things are lifted I'm going to follow through. The electronics are almost 40 years old and I bought it all new - Mitsubishi power amp and pre-amp/tuner and a pair of Polk Monitor 10s (plus a turntable and some other stuff I've accumulated through the years). IDK if Audio Breakthroughs is still in biz on Rt 110 in Huntington, but this was some of their best stuff that wasn't in the high-end room where they had the Dahlquist speakers, etc.. I guess it was high-end, low-end.

I'd be shocked if they pull that off. We had tickets to Band of Horses rescheduled date down here on 9/26 that was just canceled yesterday. And that was only a 3K person venue.

Oddly we also have Billy Joel tix for 4/17/21 at BofA stadium (original date was 4/16/20) which we now can't use because good friends scheduled their wedding that day down in the keys. Of course AFTER the Ticketbastard refund request window had closed.

I think you should go to the Billy Joel concert and skip the wedding. If only to read here what your friend's reaction is when you tell them that you'd rather go to Billy Joel than their wedding.

I might be able to help you out with those extra tix.

Awesome, let me know when you figure it out/pm me with any questions.

Listened to this album to get through some tough hours at work.

Oof.

I'm ready for the abuse, but I actually like Taylor Swift's new album a lot. A lot different than her previous work. Folksy, chill. Very cool.

Hendrix. SRV is the better player but I prefer Hendrix's songs overall more. Such a hard choice though can you really go wrong?
