So this Yeager guy paid the Discogs fee for the sale (to himself) of that record? That shows a rare, almost admirable level of devotion to this hoax if so

next move: fatally overdose on drugs and arrange for a posthumous release
― nomar, Thursday, 23 March 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link
I imagine the fee was defaulted on, and that’s once reason why Discogs removed it.

This targeted ad I'm getting bombarded with is pissing me off so much. I can't think of a more vapid, boring idea. Some PDX based brand trying to sell "album cover influenced" plaid shirts holy shit please kill yourselves, fucking idiots. http://i.imgur.com/Xwr1ZzI.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/bwwYRBo.jpg

I like the 69 Love Songs shirt (while agreeing that it looks nothing like the cover to 69 Love Songs, obv)

In the 80s I had a blue and white plaid flannel that I adored because the squares were so large it looked like something Jaime Hernandez would draw for a Love & Rockets character.

Some prime Alan Partridge in this articlehttp://bedfordandbowery.com/2017/06/new-east-village-record-store-will-be-like-flight-club-but-for-records/
"Sorge says the impetus for the store is partly a response to the “vinyl resurgence” underway, and also a sense that contemporary music is not well stocked in record stores, which tend to be dominated by a “pony-tailed, Dylan-loving old guard” which caters heavily to Led Zeppelin and Beatles fans but not those of Nirvana or the Pixies or more recent work."
I was hoping they would say something like Foo Fighters : Only the band Nirvana could've been.
"They’ve been posting finds to their Instagram as they go — “everything from Nas to Jawbreaker to De La Soul and a bunch of stuff we picked up in Japan like the Smiths and the White Stripes and Nirvana and the Roots. We’re all over the place, as long as it’s contemporary, and I use ‘contemporary’ very loosely. Indie rock or anything past the ’80s.”The shop will be located at 221 E. 10th Street, between First and Second Avenue. The storefront will be small and intimate — “a little sub-street-level place,” said Sorge — and the hope is that it will serve as a community and gathering place, “like Flight Club, but for records.”Sorge and Porges are eschewing the dusty, rummage-bin atmosphere of the stereotypical record shop in favor of a cleaner, more modern aesthetic. Boles Studio, which supplied furniture for Etsy’s offices among others, is building the record bins."

Nirvana and Pixies are further away from now than the beatles and zep were when I was 17 in 1990

otm
it's the flattening of time that happens when you age. the stuff I remember being on the classic rock station when I was a kid was barely a decade old

has the station changed since though?

they play nirvana now iirc

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 28 June 2017 19:34 (six years ago) link
oh there's no way they play elvis
I just installed their app since the website's playlist/streaming stuff was useless
it's 99% 70s/80s stuff, with the newest inclusions two Guns n' Roses songs, Soundgarden (Black Hole Sun, of course) and a song by Collective Soul (?!?)
there are about five .39 Special or Van Halen songs for every one of those, though
― mh, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 19:46 (six years ago) link
.38 Special is only one hundredth of a percent older?
― sarahell, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
ooh good typo joke
― mh, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
that is the second reference to .38 special ive seen today. Never heard them.
― Odysseus, Wednesday, 28 June 2017 20:44 (six years ago) link
all their songs are actually misremembered hits of other bands -- you know, where someone plays you a handful of songs and you're like "yeah, that one is by the Eagles, this one is by Foreigner, this is Lynyrd Skynyrd" and it turns out you were completely wrong and they're all by this band you've never heard of

God, that Limited to One thing. I checked out the Instagram and it's, like, posting Alkaline Trio 45s and third rate Morrissey albums.
If that shit is "Fight Club, but for records" I hope it's one of those super violent fights where there's not a clear winner because all the participants died in the fight.
― Austin, Thursday, 29 June 2017 19:47 (six years ago) link
Just reading that article and looking at the Instagram profile. Yuck.
I need to wash my hands or something. I feel gross now.
― Austin, Thursday, 29 June 2017 19:48 (six years ago) link
Good god, I shut down my computer and went to play guitar, but all I could think of was how infuriating that Limited to One bullshit is. Through their various outlets, they're all like, "be punk, be DIY." But then they go on to regurgitate the ethos of the exact opposite of that philosophy.
I mean, jeez. This is like scum of the earth level status as far as I can tell. Fuck these people.
― Austin, Thursday, 29 June 2017 21:22 (six years ago) link
it's Flight Club not Fight Club. I was informed its a 'sneakers store'

another thing that has made my blood boil lately is that the VINYL ME PLEASE editions of some records are becoming more valuable than other pressings. i think the record collecting community should all come together and agree that blacklist any and all of these n00b editions.
― just another (diamonddave85), Thursday, 29 June 2017 22:43 (six years ago) link
but.... are they better pressings, or just some dumb "limited" release? genuinely curious, not familiar w/them
― sleeve, Thursday, 29 June 2017 22:46 (six years ago) link
If they're pressed on colored/picture disc vinyl, they are inherently inferior. Doesn't matter about the size of the pressing run.

So it looks like they're using the same matrix #/plates on the War on Drugs... so nice, worn out plates and inferior grade vinyl. Noice!

Every time a new release comes out on colored vinyl, I go out of my way to make sure I don't get the colored version. Colored/picture disc vinyl is one of the biggest shams of all time. Anybody who claims to be into vinyl "because it sounds better" and then goes on to seek out these colored and picture disc pressings is so fucking bamboozled. I'd feel bad for them if they didn't create their own quagmire.
