i got the octopus LP on ESP Disk today. it's about 1/2 boring blues jamz and 1/2 cool folk rock tunes. surface noise though, i think because of a slight warp :(

what kind of threads are there going to be here

so excited but must sleep! goodnight, sweet vinyl board.

there are gonna be threads about plastics.

awesome ones xpost

all kinds of threads! threads for chinese rekkerds and 10 inch rekkerds and kidz rekkerds and whatever anyone wants. vinyl is love.

and threads of "this is what i bought recently" imo

xp roxy: trying to find picture of Willem Dafoe in vinyl overalls from Streets of Fire ... might have to do a screenshot from dvd.

boastful, grateful, wistful, covetous, acquisitive threads

maybe some discussion about storage

oh sweet! a vinyl borad!!

god, where have you been under a rock?!?!?!?!?

i've been listening to VINYL RECORDS

Hey cool borad idea.

The other day I was in the local 2nd hand rekkid store and I found a bunch of Cocteau Twins albums and EPs on vinyl and they were all $30-$40 each!!! I'm sittin on a GOLDMINE, apparently? I have loads of Cocteaus vinyl inc long-baleeted 7" singles and stuff.

Woo! I love vinyl too! To prove it, here is an archival pic of me, loving a vinyls!

i love everything about that photo

i am such a vinyl noob but it is nice to be here. hi guys!!

Hahaha, roxy, only just saw that comment. I aim to please (though I'm not too sure about the nurofen(?) packet in the background - wtf?)

emily i like your glowing electronic orb

i am also psyched that we have a vinyl board now btw

Glowing electronic orb is a plasma ball! Not quite as good as vinyl, but very good indeed.

should i move all the vinyl threads from ILM here?

no.

ilm will be ilm. vinyl will be vinyl.

oh hey scott do you want mod powars here?

i don't know if i would ever use them. that's the thing. i was the moderator on i love books and i think i used my mighty powers all of once or twice. but maybe. maybe me and ian should have them and then i'll just let him do everything. cuz he's younger and stronger.

I was thinking of Ian too. Ok, giving you both mod and if either of you don't want it let me know.

Going try to do some serious de-warping this week. . . wish me luck.

ok scott and ian u r mods. plz dont break the internet

good luck on the de-warping... let me know if you have success, and with what method. i've got a bunch of stuff i bought sealed with varying degrees of warpiness.

thanks for mod, jj. i won't break nothin.

i've been poking around ILX for a while and I Love Vinyl almost more than anything, so I might as well say Hi and give my AA story. i've been collecting records forever, starting with the little Disney book&record sets. my first non-kiddie LP was Sgt. Pepper's, then KISS. but the one that really got me hooked was this, which I got at a rad Japanese toy-store while buying Shogun Warriors. 7" on colored red robot flexi-disc!

still plays grebt

wow, new board! Yay!

this new board rulez

yeah I can tell I will spend 80% of my ILX time here

My attempt to de-warp a record failed terribly, now it's more warped, so much so you can kind of pop it from concave to convex, it spins like a top on a regular flat surface :S

I was doing I think the glass sheet on record and put it in the sun with a weight in the very centre (convex facing out), and I suspect the glass or the base I used weren't flat, so I flipped the record over, put a lot more weight around it, and am wasting loads of energy via a lamp. I really hope this works.

hooray to this board for inspiring me to think about finally organizing my vinyl again - it had to live in a storage locker when i lived in my last apartment and i have been so distractred w/homeowner crap that i just kinda dumped it pell mell into the crates and never got any further. trimmed the bushes this weekend and did a bunch of cleanup, so i think once i clean the gutters i can spend several guilt free hours in the mancave basement making things shipshape again.

Oh good god, I've really fucked up that record, and dire measures are going to be taken to try to make it at least playable.

sigh. . .

RIP record.

God, how could I be so fucking stupid.

Well, at least now I have a bowl that I'll never use, which cost me a good $10 and will be a symbol of my imprudence.

i.e. the record turned into one of those record bowls.

I love you, this board.

P.S. Warped vinyl lovers, check out Saul Levine's masterful Notes of an Early Fall.

that picture of emil.y upthread is so good!

arrgh - i was going to order an Ikea Expedit 4x4 shelf but shipping is $200 to Western MA!! figuring out Plan B...

you should try various massachusetts craigslist sites

you should go to ikea in massachusetts.

a 4x4 will easily fit in a car (unassembled, i mean.) so would a 5x5, actually, with the seats down. putting one together isn't what i would call "fun" tbh, but it's so worth it imo.

it's not THAT far. we borrowed a van when we lived on martha's vineyard and went to the one in mass. such a crazy place. actually, there is one in connecticut that might even be closer to western mass.

putting them together made me want to kill myself. we bought two big ones and four smaller ones. moving one of the big ones into the store here assembled made me want to die too. cuz once they are put together there is no way in hell that you are gonna take them apart again.

i did that and shockingly enough it only took 45 minutes to reassemble my 5x5, unlike the 3-4 hours it took to put it together the first time.

awesome board!

Hello I Love Vinyl!

So, I've got an old Bang and Olufson record player/amp in one thing that doesn't work any more but is quite lovely. I am moving house on Friday. If anyone wants it for nothing, and can get to Green Lanes in north London by then, please do.

I need to check the model, but I think it's a Beogram 1500, and it worked fine (although the speed change was knacked) for about a year after rescuing from an attic, but then stopped producing any sound at all. I suspect this is something quite simple like a loose connection, but I got another turntable and I don't have room for three!
http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=271

Plus a pair of small Beovox speakers, which worked fine, but need new cables (I cobbled together some horrific cheap connectors as the B&O cables had been slashed).

Or should we have a "Turntables bought/sold/given away" thread?

i started a turntable thread, feel free to use that. unless people think there should be a seperate gear swap thread. i'm a little hesitant of becoming to buy/trade oriented as a board - despite my own blatant shilling for my store - but i suppose if there were one thread devoted to buying/trading/giving stuff away that would be fine.

i've seen record-centric message boards that just look like long lists of records for sale. but that is one good thing about ilx's design. you can contain stuff to one place.

in fact, if someone has a question about something i might have to sell, keep it on my store thread or e-mail me. thanks!
