    Japanese Pressing picture sleeve 7" singles (NERRRRRRD)

    OK, thankfully I don't really have the maniacal record collector gene. Any pressing is usually fine by me, dont even really give a shit if theres no cover..... but I do get a giddy wee thrill at seeing Japanese pressing 7"'s out in the wild here in Japan. Would love to see the scum stats of...

    How many albums is enough albums in a collection?

    When I didnt care about audio stuff I'd blast the ol' punk rock and would never dream of playing "Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark" or some crap. BUT turns out that stuff sounds awesome on a good system.... and now I like it. And I like A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS too, there, I said it.

    Rank The Albums!

    I somehow idiotically completely missed the boat on this band back in the 90's. Guessing - unheard - I dismissed them as Matador hipsters or something. MORAN. Last year on a whim picked up a couple of cd singles from around 1997 and was blown away. Then grabbed the "Genius + Love" 2xCD and was...

    Television

    ALL OF IT. This shot of Bosch's abode gave me such a hifi boner I just had to take a screenshot: Although kind of annoys me he leaves his whole swank audio setup at the mercy of the LA sun screaming in through those huge damn windows all day.

    What Generations Are Buying What?

    It really fascinates me to wonder where the records of smaller indie bands I loved (TAR, JAWBREAKER etc) will be 10, 20 years from now. Will they be like, say, the "nothing" bands of the 1960's, unloved and forgotten? I assumed it was us old gits "filling in the gaps" from our youth when we...

    What Generations Are Buying What?

    My discogs sales have bottomed out completely and it sounds like I aint they only one. 30% tax for some european customers not helping... Was at a record store today and vendor had just thrown away 1,000 LP's. "Paul Anka, Ventures, Elvis..." As an ex-vendor, I can understand. You just get sick...

    Made a sub for a 7" record, had no idea about pricing so listed it at $25; didnt want to seem too greedy and have it sitting there for years. Just minutes later a guy buys it then tells me it's incredibly rare and he'll try and resell it for "$200+". OMG there are some knobheads on that...

    The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!

    It's an interesting list, reflective of the site's members in that the top 20 is not wall-to-wall Beatles/Led Zep/Floyd/Stones classic rock, (as it would be at Steve Hoffman) I'm just glad I got my #1, Jesus Lizard's "Goat", in there at #241.

    How many albums is enough albums in a collection?

    I always think of it as "oh crap I've got 4,000 lp's, that means if I spin 3 a day i'll only hear each one once every __ years, gahh, too many records..." Pruned down to 800 lp's now, reckon 1,000 will be my sweet spot, spin 3 a day, hear each one once a year or so. Maybe 1,000 is still too...

    The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!

    Damn, going by my list its not hard to spot when my glory days were... 10's: 5 00's: 5 90's: 16 80's: 13 70's 10 60's: 1 I implore you to grade Goats Head Soup higher. IMPLORE. For me it is the perfect rainy day burnout-on-the-sofa record. I've owned all of them 10 lps on your list, some at...

    Discogs has flinched at the deadline and postponed the Oct 1st bloodbath until Nov 1st. They dont seem to realise that by going Full Corporate America and dismissing the rest of the world and the little sellers in favour of a few Big Sellers that they are going against the spirit of why the...

    I would go so far as to say put your Babymetal albums in there. The more accurate reflection of the forum, the better.

    The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!

    wondering if the weighting shouldnt favour higher ranking albums? eg 1 pt for #50, 2pts for #49 etc is ok but once you hit the top 10, it's, say, 100 pts for #1, 80 pts for #2 etc no comps. comps is a cheatin' hot mess. live albums surely fine. The Rust Never Sleeps Rule

    Wow! Very nice. Just gave it a try and that works. But that "all formats" doesnt recognise whether you're sending a cd or an lp. Which will lead to irate customers re; overcharging?
