  • Does all this hullabaloo mean I need to give Chance the Rapper another chance?

    I did. I guess I ended up where I started... not fully getting the hype. I mean, it's okay. Coloring Book has a lot of cool tracks. IMO, the Freddie Gibbs / Madlib colab that dropped today is better than anything Chance has yet to put out. More people should be talking about that!

    I enjoy it when it's on, but never really feel like putting it on...
    What's your shortest album spread over 4 sides? I think mine is Rival Consoles' Howl at 41:39.

    That recent VMP reissue of Bosa Nova Bacchanal has a side with only 5:30 of music on it... I think it totals 35 minutes and change.

    One of the first ones I bought where I was like "why is this 2 records?" was Congratulations by MGMT (43:53). Same with Little Dark Age. I just wish they'd at least make them 45RPM in that case.

    Getting one of my first practical lessons on just how wide a range VG+ encompasses.

    To me, it's minimal-to-no surface noise and very few marks (if any), none deep. Maybe one quiet pop and short, quiet ticks.

    That has been my experience with VG+ albums... Until today. 😕

    One of my big pet peeves. No one knows how to grade any more. I don’t trust *anyone* selling on Discogs. (Hint: your stuff isn’t NM.) Everyone buying/selling should be way more familiar with Goldmine grading than they are
    Guys, it's almost 100 degrees, which usually isn't much, but I live in a place where the average high this time of year is about 65.

    I just hope the ocean doesn’t come and sweep you away.

    Yep. It's freakin' hot today. I'm in Alameda and we're almost 100 here too. What gives?
    Ooof. These car repairs are going to cut into my music buying for a while... :(
    Anybody ever get an LP with the jacket opening on the top?
    10-year-old daughter having a sleepover birthday party in the living room tonight = no turntable time for me today. I think I'll survive, but it's gonna be close.

    Haha, you have my sympathy. My daughter is having friends over to hang out for Pizza and make smore's by the pit out back.............I'll be in the basement spinning away :)

    sounds like a perfect opportunity to introduce them to some new music
    I hate when an album arrives with a dish warp but it doesn't affect how it plays, so I spend way too long trying to decide whether it's worth contacting the label for a new one or not...

    I hear ya. Generally, if it doesn't affect play and isn't moving my tone arm too dramatically, I let it go and move on. There are exceptions to this, though, depending on how much sentimental value I have attached to said album. If it was one of my favorite artists or albums? Unacceptable. If it is a new grab or album I want to own, but not in my top tier? I am probably letting it slide.

    Invest in a Michel clamp (which you should own anyway) and those minor dish warps vanish on the platter.
    So, what outer sleeves do you guys recommend? A lot of my stuff is gatefolds and 2x or 3x LPs, so big is good.

    @Joe Mac I was actually going to add those as samples on my next order to give them a try.

    They’re really good! There is a bit of a trick sometimes, if the album is really think slide it in sideways, leave it in for 10-15mins and it opens the sleeve up and it should then fit in the normal way around!

    I ordered a pack of the 2.5s and samples of the 5.0 and oversize 5.0 to try out, so I'll know what I want going forward. I've been doing inner sleeves until now, but a few albums that came with nice outer sleeves made me start thinking...
    Just had to rearrange things to take up a third cube in my kallax...

    You’ll be fine. In no time you’ll be rearranging things to take up a third kallax.
