What Christmas gift are you currently enjoying?
tinnitus photography replied to kidsmoke's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
i've been playing so much guitar hero that my middle fingertip is numb. -
well to be fair to Mogwai, they are releasing a regular version of the LP that's not nearly as expensive (ie, see below). and it's an import. it's not like Neil Young's new LP (single LP, at that) having a retail price of $35 or so. that's just silly. i'm assuming that's for the regular edition LP, not the box set.

that version of "Quicksand" is spectacular! -
i was interested in buying the new Mogwai in the limited boxset format, but the UK post is seriously crazy...23 sterling = $35 US...fuck me.

damn, would love to see Chris and Ed play! thanks for all the kind words, people. Auctioneer, I'll check for that band, thanks for the heads up. i did a phone interview w/ Steve earlier this year: http://www.bigtakeover.com/interviews/interview-with-steve-diggle-of-the-buzzcocks-part-one http://www.bigtakeover.com/interviews/interview-with-steve-diggle-of-the-buzzcocks-part-two -
I spent a fair bit of time last night and today going through all the shows I've seen this year (about 240 or so total performances), and came up w/ my top 22 and honorable mentions...click on the pic to see more

good deal for vinyl today
tinnitus photography replied to tinnitus photography's topic in Someone Else's Song
The Rock Curse is when a newer/deluxe edition or box set comes out, and you've already got an earlier version...record companies do this all the time, and I have definitely overlapped a lot of purchases (Pavement, Elvis Costello, The Stooges, Wilco, etc). -
good deal for vinyl today
tinnitus photography replied to tinnitus photography's topic in Someone Else's Song
most of the stuff i am interested in are smaller pressing size things...take a look at the mail order operations of Forced Exposure, All That Is Heavy, Volcanic Tongue, Time-Lag, Eclipse, Fusetron, Aquarius, etc...that's where I get a lot of my music from, and the artists just can't sell a record for $10 if the pressing size is 500-1000...the economics just aren't there. $10 LPs are certainly way out of the norm for the stuff I browse. audiophile pressing or not. somehow I doubt your sincerity. on another board, we refer to this insanity as The Rock Curse. -

140g vinyl pressing of previously-released material...the Wilco is a better deal. i wish LPs were priced at $10 a pop, but they aren't. so getting a 25% discount is pretty nice. CDs are generally worthless, and the only time I buy CDs these days are if I can't find the LP/wasn't pressed on vinyl, or if i find a good price on a used copy. -

tinnitus photography replied to tinnitus photography's topic in Someone Else's Song
find another 4LP box that's cheaper. btw, they also had the Neu! box set....4LP+12" and a 36 page book...that was listed for $250. -

we're talking about a gay guy fronting a metal band here.

those are great, as is Stained Class. they definitely cheesed out a bit, but the dual attack of Tipton and Downing is pretty good. they are a band i only really started listening to in the last couple of years.

i caught the _British Steel_ tour and enjoyed it, and their _Nostradamus_ record of a couple years back was quite excellent.
