Glass credits the band's success, in part, the band's heavy touring schedule. Mumford & Sons, which will headline a sold-out Hollywood Bowl show on Nov. 10, has been playing most, if not all, the songs on "Babel" live for months before its release.

40-60 seems about right for this year so far. almost all of it was bought used. 3 or 4 of those are CD's, the rest are LPs and tapes.

I buy a lotta new stuff that is limited, I'm not likely to ever see it used for less.

i've bought 7 - 10 new albums this year. i've listened to a lot more, and like a few a lot that i've still yet to buy, and might not. i try to always buy new records that i love but sometimes they are inexplicably really expensive here (new ariel pink is like over 30 bucks, hesitant to pay that even though i think it's really dope) and sometimes they are not available. i buy used records all the time, no idea how many, about 1 - 2 per week, so like 50? accidentally voted 7-10 but that's not including used so my real answer is more like 40 - 60, which seems like a lot. i'm pretty poor most of the time so i guess i buy a lot of cheap used records. since starting a regular dj night i've had to buy music way more often cause i keep running out of things to play, or getting bored of my collection, it's a lot of fun. i like the experience of looking at different records, making a stack, picking which one you're going to buy, random picks. the record store i usually goto has a listening station so you can just listen to like 15 disco singles and buy the good ones

Bought around 25 CDs this week, a total of around 30 for the year. I usually only buy records when i'm overseas.

i went with 20-40, the bulk direct from bands at shows or from experimedia.
hoping to catch up on stuff i've loved this year soon, though, so that number should grow.

Jesus that sounds awful, and I'm even a guy who enjoys a handful of Rancid's albums. It sounds terrible to listen to an entire band's discography by flipping over a 7" every fucking song.

Hands up if anyone actually bought a pre-recorded Minidisc. Can you even do that nowadays? Who would even do such a thing?
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 08:44 (7 months ago) Permalink
Gescom released an MD-only release, but that was over ten years ago now. I used to love MD when I had one - really good for making mixtapes and really easy to use. Are tapes ever released on a commercial level (as opposed to tiny homemade labels)?

I loved minidisc as a recording format but never bought a pre-recorded one. Remember seeing a tiny rack of pre-recorded ones in Northampton HMV or Virgin circa 1999.

i have the Gescom MD (which is no longer MD-only - http://boomkat.com/cds/24705-gescom-minidisc / http://boomkat.com/downloads/42999-gescom-mini-disc ). it's the only pre-recorded one i have.

1928 minidiscs listed on amazon, some bargains, some collectors prices.

re: gescom, does it actually work? I mean, does it work as a continuous random mix or what?
― This Is... The Police (dog latin), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 09:51 (7 months ago) Permalink
yeah, minidisc was designed to be gapless and survive jostles by buffering the audio slightly beforehand. you could hear it seeking to read the next track a good 5 seconds or so before the current one ended
― koogs, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 09:57 (7 months ago) Permalink
as for working artistically, i'm not so sure. some things were seconds long, a couple were a minute or two (88 tracks, 74 minutes) and a range of styles and it's hard to get such disparate things to sounds like a whole.

I was given the new David Byrne and St. Vincent on LP for my birthday this weekend, and also picked up John Maus's last one, which I'd heard before but somehow sounds really good on vinyl.

Yup. Amongst other albums on Minidisc I bought at the time, I do owns a copy of Kevin Rowland's "My Beauty".
You can now, but only on ebay.

I think there are literally only about three people in the country who own that particular album on that format. And Kevin Rowland isn't one of them.

A load of Creation albums were on MD (I have a couple of Boo Radley ones too), I believe it to be because of the Sony link.
