Official CD/LP purchases thread

[Coachella Bound]

really.....? they were bumping Outkast yesterday. Its possible they were just playing a record for a potential buyer, as ive heard they will do that upon request. Then again its HB, so who knows....

[FEELS]

Yeah. Idk, I've heard the place is known for selling white supremacist material.. and then to hear the owner actually playing it in the store. I fucking hate HB's notoriety for skinheads

[greghead]

Yeah, that place has awesome stuff.. but the racist vibes (last time I was in there they were playing a song that went something like "get that coon off my land") is pretty off-putting.

Context is pretty important, though, were they playing hardcore or metal, or was it a dusty old hillbilly song from the 40s? Old country & Texas swing is full of racial material, but it seems more a product of the time-period than any sort of overt neo-Nazi/white supremacist shit. Por ejemplo, Bob Wills did a song called "Take Me Back To Tulsa" that features a lyric about "darkie" raising the cotton and "white man" keeping the money. Interesting sociological commentary on race and class in the agrarian South in the 1930s & 40s. Or completely fucking racist. Context.

A lot of hardcore uses satire too, so in passing it can seem hard to tell

I get what you're saying, and yeah it was some old hilbilly song. Still, you'd think they wouldn't be stupid enough to play it in the store. That + carrying racial material (the neo-Nazi hardcore punk bullshit) pretty much seals the deal for me. Whatever, I'd rather make the trek to Fingerprints

Went to Vinyl Soultion in HB for the first time yesterday... not sure why it took this long. Really kind of fell in love w/ the place. From everything ive heard the staff isnt the best, so i left them a lone and spent a good hour practically alone. Deff a lot of records you wont see anywhere else, yet not nearly as many records as you would see at some other shops. And they dont over stuff the racks, making it easy to dig..... didnt seem to have an electronic section, and very small categories of most other genres (jazz, hip-hop, funk & soul, etc). The guy that runs it seems compelled on a collectors image and selling vinyl in good shape. He seems to price things pretty fairly, if not on the low end... Excellent 99cent bin as well.

Making me feel old, been shopping there for probably around 17 years or so. That store and a little shop in Costa Mesa called Noise, Noise, Noise(rip) were my go to places.

There is a place right down the street from me called Factory Records that you should check out if you are in the Newport/Costa Mesa area sometime, it is run by the guy who ran Noisex3. He is one of the raddest guys ever, and so knowledgeable about everything you could be looking for. Right on 17th Street in the same lot as the Little Knight(rip), tucked in the back with no real signage from the street. Yelp reviewers seem to love it, too, 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Will be taking my kids in the next couple days to introduce them to the joy that is a record store.

A bit afraid to let this little gem out onto the board, but support this guy and his store, he deserves it.

Well, so much for not buying records for awhile.

Hey so... This is going to be another one of those "hey everybody I need to ask you something that you have been asked already" kind of posts, but yeah. I need your recommendations on sub-300$ turntables since I am almost done moving into my new place and I need a record player. I'm going to comb craigslist to see what I can find, but I could use some help. Thanks.

No, I actually bought these before FYF. And I did most of my drinking before and after the festival...I was impressed by the plastic bag technique though haha.

wat. I've never seen that record anywhere, original or reissue.

I'm sure an original is ridiculously hard to find. According to Discogs, this was the 2011 repress. Regardless, Red Devil in San Rafael had two copies. Do you want me to pick the other up for you next time I am in there?

[bmack86]

It's monk time!!! I play that record all the time.

[bballarl]

Great minds, Bryan. Great minds.

Any fans of Joe Strummer here? Epitaph is re-releasing all the stuff he did for them on vinyl, mp3, and cd. Colored vinyl for a couple of the releases, too, along with a ton of live stuff, including the Acton show where he reunited with Mick Jones for a few songs, and all the b-sides from the singles.

edit: actually, the mp3 collection is availabe now on itunes, amazon, and google:
