My wife ordered the new Mt. Joy album and text me from work to let me know it was being delivered. Didn’t see it on the porch so I went to the mail box and saw they shoved it in. Super frustrating. To be fair it didn’t have a fragile sticker or something that said “do not bend”. But c’mon..it took some effort to shove that album in that box. Just wanted to share. Hope your deliveries fare better.

sort of atmospheric post-rocky music with vocals. here’s a link if you wanna check it out :)

At a rock bottom price, sealed new!

Pescado rabioso TE AMO

I was browsing my collection and I decided to play my Flyleaf debut album that came out earlier this year when a question for this sub dawned on me. What records do ya’ll have in your collection that you bought at sale price that are now out of print and being sold for a much higher price?

I would say the average price that I could find online for this album was anywhere between $70-$90, with some of the cooler patterns costing even more. Keep in mind that I purchased this at around $30.

And before anyone berates my suitcase player, I replaced it a few months after this picture.

Show me what you got!

Siamese Dream (greatest album of all time) and dog not included, I bought the setup for $100 with some records thrown in. The originals owners grandchildren wanted me to think of their Grandpa Pete while she plays. Thanks Grandpa Pete!

I've had it for a couple of years and I remember being super disappointed with it when I bought it. Pulled it back out tonight because I just upgraded the stylus on my record player and it's probably worse then I remember. The picture disc's are really cool but the sound quality on them is atrocious.

Anyone else have this pos? Or what other similar horror stories do you have ?

I stopped by a garage sale after school today and purchased this banana album, I think I had heard of it before and it looked cool. What are your thoughts on it? I’m kinda curious about its value, I asked chat gpt and told be $1000+ which is insane, idk if anyone else has ever heard of this album before, but let me know.

Flop: whenever you’re ready. This 1993 recording is the only US pressing, unfortunately it’s a picture disc with no real jacket in a PVC sleeve but it still sounds pretty good.

I saw this band open for the Lemonheads in 93/94 at Lupo’s heartbreak hotel in RI. I thought they had a great set and bought a CD from their merch table. Then I literally never heard anything about this band ever again.

This is an early90’s Seattle band that is more Posies than Nirvana.

Thursday got all the airplay back in the days of college radio. But this whole album was mind-blowingly different back in the day. I'm a big Mark Sandman and Dana Colley fan.

Anyone seen them live? I almost shat myself when Dana rolled out that Contrabass sax.

I'm Free Now-->All Wrong is a trip and always loved how these songs are back to back both theme wise and musically.

Thursday-->Cure For Pain also is a fun combo if you think about it. I always found myself drawing conclusions between the two even if maybe not fully warranted.

System of a Down steal this album. Highschool favorite. Am I supposed to add 300 characters here or in the comments this is the third time I’ve tried to post this stupid pic of an album I like but it’s been removed 2 times because I didn’t include a comment of at least 300 characters. How long is that anyway. What a stupid way to run a sub. This isn’t an invitation to rob me please don’t steal my album. Lots of dots to be sure I’m at 300 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..,,,,,…………………………………………………………………………………….,………….,.,…………….,.,,,,,,,,…,.,,,,,,,,,,…………………..

I just bought this Everclear album, The Very Best Of…and it sounds like shit. They re-recorded their own songs. Badly. I had no idea. I was on the fence about either this one or So Much For The Afterglow, which I love, but their greatest hits seemed like a no-brainer. Now it feels like a K-Tel cover band sings the hits…. There should be a warning on the cover. Motherf😠😡🤬!

I’ve heard some people say keep it others say otherwise and that it’ll mess up the sleeve

NIN: The downward spiral.

I originally bought this on CD the day it came out, a really long time ago. It has been a missing piece to my vinyl collection so when I saw it at the SeaTac SubPop store last week I immediately gravitated to it. I took a look at the hand written sticker and that sealed the deal, while not cheap that hand worn not just made the price a tertiary concern.

Obviously this is not a hard record to get, I found it at an airport! Nor is it some undiscovered gem, it was a huge seller on release and it’s still popular now. But it is great to see small things like hand written notes these days.

I will keep that hype sticker.

My first vinyl as well… I was planing on buying two or three different vinyl but I saw this getting announced for pre-order so I just had to get it.

It looks so nice with a clear vinyl compared to the black one. So happy I got this. I plan to buy Hail To The Thief Live Recordings next with the red Vinyl

I am buying inner and outer sleeves for it but they will take another day or two to arrive. I don’t have a player at the moment but I am storing it upright and as well cared for as I can.

John Frusciante was on fire here. Not just his guitar but the harmony he brings with his voice. I feel like this was a band hitting on all cylinders. Everyone got a chance to flex. They hit so many styles and musicianship was stellar. Yes the lyrics are the usual Anthony hard to figure out. I read his book once and somehow they make sense to him lol. This vinyl mix is also amazing. It's analog, and it shows. You can hear everyone in the band contributing. No one dominating, just harmony

Time to crack this beauty out again. It's the 44 version which is a pain, but BiA as a track is one of my all time favorites and my system now is capable of doing the additional source quality some justice.

It's just started Money for Nothing, what a banger! Epic, iconic of the era.

The whole album is a journey, with no discernable theme (to my ear and generally being a prog Floyd fan).

Just turned it way up, neighbours out. My Kids complaining about the volume - beautiful! I just did the air guitar to make the complain more 🤣.

And now I take on the rest of the journey to the final resting place of the title track.

In late 1991, while grunge was detonating and every magazine was scrambling to crown Nevermind as album of the year, Spin went with Teenage Fanclub’s Bandwagonesque instead. Spin wasn't wrong IMO.

This is the Scottish band’s third album (Creation in the UK, DGC in the US), and it’s pure, unapologetic power-pop/jangle filtered through a slightly scruffy Glasgow lens. Three songwriters—Norman Blake, Gerard Love, and Raymond McGinley—trading lead vocals and stacking those ridiculous harmonies. Producer Don Fleming basically told them “you guys can do harmonies, so do them,” and the rest is history. It sounds like Big Star finally got a proper sequel (critics still call it “Big Star’s 4th”), mixed with Byrds jangle, Beach Boys melodies, and a bit of Neil Young’s ragged edge, but with its own warm, slightly lazy charm.

Bandwagonesque didn’t reinvent the wheel. It just made the wheel sound better than almost anyone else was managing in 1991. While everyone else was either drowning in noise or chasing the next scene, TFC made a record full of sincere, slightly goofy love songs and massive melodies. Kurt Cobain called them “the best band in the world.” Liam Gallagher later ranked them second only to Oasis. Ben Gibbard (Death Cab) loved it so much he recorded a full-album cover and still calls it his favorite record by his favorite band.

I still love it.
