I got a shitty turntable and a bunch of vinyl, but the needle seriously needs replacing...any needle reccomendations?

What kind of turntable is it (brand, model number)? What is your budget?

needledoctor.com is probably worth a browse, wesley.

Its a technics sl-b200

budget is from 50-150 bucks

vinyl lovers, order shit from Nuclear War Now if you like metal

'cause their pressings are fucking INCREDIBLE

Ah, those Exuma records are weird and cool. A hard sell, though.

Weley, you might want to put a new belt on that turntable.

I think your table takes "p-mount" cartridges. I would look at stuff like the Audio Technica AT311EP (~$45) or if you expect to upgrade to a better Technics at some point, the Stanton 681 EEE MkIII ($~125).

i bought

oneness of juju - african rhythms
biz markie - goin' off

at the fort greene flea market from a most mysterious ilxor (hint: he holds it down on IRE)

gotta be confounded

sigh

you know, despite spending like, 2 years djing with the guy, I had no idea IRE existed. I did know he was selling off his collection and I'm too lazy and broke to have checked it out.

juju MONSTAH

DAMN LINDSAY FIRST U SELL OUT MY DUDE
THEN U SELL OUT MY CAT

(our 3 year old has dubbed our cat Julius "juju")

it's not a cat, it's a monstah

Central Line - You've Said Enough 12"

New Musik - 24 Hours from Culture 12"
Voyage - Souvenirs (Hot Trax Remix)12"

vinyl lovers, order shit from Nuclear War Now if you like metal

'cause their pressings are fucking INCREDIBLE

yeah yeah yeah. heavy duty vinyl, amazing presentation. not brutally overpriced.

This is the thread where we appreciate the Anti-Goth label

^^^ rog fidelity thread for nuclear war now, only he didn't know the name of the label.

Actually PAID MONEY for some records today:
Richard, Cam & Bert - Limited Edition ('69 NYC folk-rock with harmonies, kinda Grateful Dead feel)
Art Ensemble of Chicago - Baptizum
Murari Band - Dreams (private Krishna soft-rock with occasional steel guitar)
glass harp s/t (found this pretty cheap; never wanted to shell out 20+ for it, but for $7... sure.)

glass harp are my heroes and phil keaggy is my god, you know that, right?

i think it's come up.

cluster & eno, harmonia's 'deluxe', and scott walker 4 reissues

hell yeah to a pristine copy of Coltrane's Concert In Japan 2LP. I was in there to buy that Gene Clark/Gosdin Bros vinyl on Sundazed but they were out.

numinous eye record is rilly good. it's some dudes from subarachnoid space, and on one side it's live in tokyo with dudes from white heaven, high rise, etc.

i don't know if this is new or will be ass or whatever it is but it caught my eye:

Country Teasers - Destroy All Human Life

-- gnarly sceptre, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 16:03

i bought trois copies of the Michel Chion Requiem reissue. Call it an impulse buy, but I know I'd be psyched to get that as a gift!

Picked up:

Barn Owl - From Our Mouths A Perpetual Light... LP
Sonic Youth - SYR7: J'Accuse Ted Hughes 12" EP
The Shining Path - Live At Voltaire Commune 7"

listening to:
p.f. sloan - 12 more times
v/a - hawaiian steel guitar 20s-50s
furekaaben LP
steve tilston - acoustic confusion
The New Age LP that scott's been talking about. I didn't expect such a 'cosmic' sound, actually hoping for something more rustic? Some of those flute jams woah; i like it better than the Pat Kilroy solo rec, I think...

First Country Teasers LP I've heard actually. I like it. Was expecting a bit more wild crotchety-ness, but it just kinda lopes along nicely.

And here's a link to that New Wave from the Heart comp I was posted up thread. Turns out it was posted to Mutant Sounds at some point.

Didn't say much about it at the time, but I've been playing it to death. Amateur early punk from the Doncaster area. Personality in spades. It's got a song called 'Metallic Thread Shirt' by the Negatives. Can't argue with a title like that! And it's a killer track too.

Reissued sometime fairly recently, so there's copies about...

Oh cool, thanks for posting that link, I was intrigued after you told me about that at the TNV/JR/NA gig!

My favourite Country Teasers records are the aforementioned Satan Is Real Again and the more recent one The Empire Strikes Back.

You came to mind as soon as I heard it actually! The Diks track rules too. The vocalist is almost like Jilted John. And the song about Indigestion is hilarious. Has a line about 'milk of magnesia for his tummy'. Punk as fuck.

Seem to have discovered a run of similarly great regional UK punk albums. Got the 'A Manchester Collection' LP on Object Records. £4.99 on eBay. It's a total knockout, and also not hard to find on a certain blog...

Now trying to find cheap copies of Compilation NE1 and Logical Steps. Hard work.

I have a single by the Negatives (just on mp3), in fact I think it might have been one of the John Peel Record Box ones. Pretty good though anyway.

I'm looking for another regional comp - Bouncing In The Red - it's all Birmingham bands, but not restricted to punk, I think it has some reggae and new wave stuff on it as well.

There was a few bands called the Negatives, from what I've read. Makes sense. Good band name.

Some other recent finds...

Mighty Feeble
Jobs for the Boys (Merseyside comp)
Bobby Brown - Enlightening Beam of Axonda
Bernard Szajner - Some Deaths Take Forever
The Passage - For All And None
Texas Flashbacks Vol 1: Dallas
Bizarros s/t
New Riders - Powerglide
Cowboy - Reach for the Sky
Heavy the World - The Next World
William Truckaway - Breakaway
Red Krayola - Gold Bless...
Big Star - Radio City
John Cale/Terry Riley - Church of Anthrax
Lio s/t

7"
The Pinkies - Open Commune (021 Recs)
The Method Actors - This Is It (somehow ended up with 2 copies of this)
Zoom - Sweet Desperation (Riot Recs)
Contact s/t ep (Object Music) promo edition??
Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love

I was just listening to the Bizarros/Rubber City Rebels split this morning (which is great)

What are Rubber City Rebels like? White Screen Movies from the LP is hilariously good. Absolutely perfect Velvets/Modern Lovers chug. And the dude has the same Mick Jagger-y vocals as Kenne Highland (who I love). Although for most of it, I can't understand what he's saying through the punk croon.

(er, and that line from the Diks song was something about his tummy, "... gonna get some milk of magnesia from my mummy")

rubber city rebels were great!

drunk the other night i kept playing young girls at market over and over cuz it's my favorite song. ANYONE WHO DOESN'T OWN THE BIZARROS ALBUM ON MERCURY NEEDS TO OWN IT YESTERDAY. just in case someone doesn't have it. one of my favorite albums on this earth.

my go to songs the other night were young girls at market and harry may and loud,proud,& punk.
