    Whelp, may have to re-read this one, as I was assigned it whenever people are usually assigned it. I remember kinda liking but but I think my brother hated it.

    Pre-Order Thread

    I unno, why not it's SWANS, whose lyrics from just one album contain such lyrical gems as [goes through a beginners English dictionary with the word “no” in front of each entry], “YOUR NAME IS FUCK,” and “NATALIE!” I say this lovingly of course, I can picture this sounding quite dizzying in a...

    Pre-Order Thread

    For anyone not indoctrinated, SWANS do a demo CD as fundraiser for each album cycle, hand made by Gira. Already went for the $100 “You get listed as an Executive Producer in the studio album's notes + a CD or LP of the finished album upon completion” option. So that's exiting...

    I don't plan on making a target as such past just keeping up the streak I've been on since late last year. I finally finished Don Quixote* after spending like a year on it ,and wanting to keep it up immediately moved on to The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings, was about halfway through the latter at...

    Imagine the tonearm rolled over such that the side of the cartridge was on the record like it was really sad and tired and you'll have pictured the worst possible azimuth adjustment. I've found it to be really finicky and counterintuitive and just about the only part of turntable calibration I...

    I certainly take breaks between albums usually. I consider letting my mind wander a bit during an album just part of it. Although I have noticed that albums above about 45 min but below about 60 will usually have one song that just tends to go in one ear and out the other for me. And it's...

    @Mather No, manufacturing should be easy definitely. But it's hard to make sense of your luck otherwise, sorry. Listen to Kris, this is wisdom.

    Immerse Your Soul In Love - The Radiohead Thread

    I'm about a page back and have stuff to do, sorry if the conversation's moved on. One thing I've been thinking about lately is that anyone who thinks Radiohead are that innovative have never listened to who Radiohead listen to. And I don't mean to undermine their achivement, there's no doubt...
