I collect them and hang them on my wall

My brother has a huge collection and I always listen to his records

I buy some every now and then, but I'm 17 so all my friends think I'm a freak

everything produced by mike oldfield on vinyl,including 8 times tubular bells...
8 albums by queen

and Gorillaz,demon days on vinyl...

Oh Grandad!

i found GY!BE for 10 bucks new
shit was so cash

I have a ton of hardcore punk records. How do I teach myself more about turntables? I've tried youtubing videos on how to mess with it but as of now I don't even know how to change my stylus. Any hints on what to look for for a good new turntable?

I'm thinking of buying vinyls just for that reason.
How do you do it?

>>5011284
holy shit me to.

vinyls say "i'm pretentious" just right

The only reason to buy Vinyl is to get seven inches who don't use Mp3 technology. Also the smoothness is fucking anoying. Move on with the times Trendy/Hipster fags.

>>5011331

because we all know all of the GOOD music only comes out on cd huh?

>>5011308
the old ones last longer
i have one the philips 22gf110,and it still works
i have 4 in total,and i must say , the newer ones are worse

Much, much, much music on vinyl has never been released on CD or any other format. Vinyl haters on here are jealous know-nothings.

alas, i lost most of my vinyls to the great basement flood of 06'. please join me in a moment of silence.

>>5011370

that's good, I guess. mine has a casette dubber, 8track player, and an AM/FM built in =D.

Here you go. I have a couple more shelves of records, but my favorites are on this shelf.

>>5011390
such as...

I currently do not own a functioning phonograph. but i do own a small collection of vinyl.

where do you guys buy from ?, thats if you guys buy new records. I buy from tower.com, amazon, and ebay personally

>>5011435
>Starsailor

i love you

>>5011483
i never buy online...
there are record stores in the hague(yes i'm a dutchfag)
and new vinyl,you can usually order that at the freerecordshop(a cd/dvd store allover the country)

>>5011483
Hot Topic carries records, that's where I get mine from. They are like $20

Not my entire collection but it's what I've been listening to the most lately.

>>5011445

Rappers often have records with remixed/alternate version of songs that are only officially released on vinyl. Many instrumentals for rap songs are only available on the single version from the vinyl.

Off of the top of my head, Bobby Vinton has a version of his classic hit "Mr. Lonely" sung in Italian that is only available from the vinyl single.

Some of the those songs end up getting ripped and thrown onto the internet, but that is still lesser quality and less intimate.

>>5011483
I buy new vinyl from 2 local stores. I rarely buy new vinyl though, unless it's something I can't find used at a price I can afford (like my copy of Starsailor and my mono copy of Truth)

GEMM.com
MusicStack.com

and eBay =D

Britfag here, I keep seeing shit like this, so I'm just going to ask once and for all:
What the fuck is Hot Topic?

>>5011530
I am 12 and what is music?

I have the middling vinyl collection of someone in the hardcore scene for a few years (meaning some decent 7"s and a ton of unlistenable shit), who then became a grad student and spent his money on books instead. I envy fine vinyl collections, but I don't think I'll ever have the time or space to collect for the next few years.

>>5011530
Sadly, as much as I hate Hot Topic it's where I actually bought my Wavering Radiant Vinyl and a Sunn O))) vinyl. I may hate the store but I won't pass up a good deal on a record.

hot topic is a store where 15 year old kids go to buy my chemical romance shirts

>>5011584
A chain of stores (usually always in malls) that cater to a emo/scenester crowd. Clothing, random crap, and a selection of CDs and records.

I find it funny that I bought an Andrew Jackson Jihad record from Hot Topic

We have nothing like HT in England. I go to sole trader record shops, and charity shops more often than not.

>>5011598
Hot Topic used to be ok before they got entire sections dedicated to that Twilight shit. The only reason I go there now is for the records.

>>5011483
tower has enter the 36 chambers still sealed brand new.
i came

i dont care much for the bottom half.

>>5011617
Sellout on two levels.

>>5011889
Where your record is sold is not decided by the band, it's decided by the distributor you tool.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

>>5011938
MORE RAGE FUEL!

>>5011917
BUT IT'S AT HOT TOPIC AND MY INDIE CRED IS DAMAGED BECAUSE OF IT

EVEN MORE FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU.

Seriously, when did mallgoths and emo fags give a fuck about Grizzly Bear or Decemberists? The Vampire Weekend I could see because it has Vampire in the title so Twifags will buy it.

>>5011990
>>5011954
>>5011938


Gigantic faggot, seriously deal with it. It's not like mallgoths buy vinyl anyway.

>>5011917
Yeah, but that tiny a band on that tiny a label being a part of "FAMILY GUY AND TWILIGHT AND OTHER GOTH/13 YEAR OLD RELATED BULLSHIT EMPORIUM" conspiracy?

I only buy vinyl if it's something that's out of print (and there is a LOT that is out of print) or if it's cheaper than getting it on CD. Buying vinyl for new releases is generally moronic. Everything is digitally recorded now, and while a few bands make sure the quality is better adapted for a vinyl release, everyone else presses their vinyl at the same quality as their CDs. Enjoy the "warmth" of your placebo effect, hipsters.

Rage'd, did Google search, then found the Smiths, Silversun Pickups, Modest Mouse and Radiohead in there too.

I bet like 95% of Hot Topic's fanbase didn't know who the fuck the Smiths were before 500 Days of Summer came out.

Swear to God, if I see NMH at Hot Topic, I'm burining the place down.

Problem is, the CD is being replaced by MP3, mainly 128kbps. It sounds better than that, you must admit.

That's a Stanton 500B on a Technics off-brand model.

>>5012120
128 kbps is a temporary standard. As storage space improves, the average bitrate of a purchasable file will also be improved. iTunes has already begun releasing everything at 256 kbps, and many albums/songs that I've downloaded straight from labels' sites have been 256 or 320. I'm not worried about it.

so when i get money,i'm going to order the resistance on vinyl, 80 euro's but totally worth it...

What's wrong with Hot Topic? It's just a store. Most people who go there are unbearable, but some of their merchandise is alright. I got an MGMT shirt and a cactus that says 'free hugs' from there once. The latter has gotten me much attention from girls.

>>5012177
Like 256 or 320kbps even approaches vinyl quality.

>>5012207
MGMT shirt. FUCK! IS NOTHING SACRED TO THEM!

>>5012207
I don't live in the US, but I'm pretty sure i would buy from hot topic if i did live there.
I browsed their online shop, some clothes and shoes are cool.

>>5012120

128kbps isn't even standard anymore. In web rips, it's become the exception and not the rule, while on the iTunes store, a lot of their MP3s are 192 and higher.

But nobody should be buying MP3s directly anyway. Try bringing your shitty early-era eMusic MP3s back or 128k, DRM-crippled MP3s back to apple and see where it gets you. It only makes sense to buy physical media if you're actually putting down money to own the songs.

>>5012257

yes,and ,don't forget;when your computer crashes,you will still have the music....

>>5012257
But you forget. The retards that shop at Hot Topic probably rip CDs at 128 kbps.

>>5012305
10/10

And also don't forget if the power were to go out forever (we run out of oil) gramophones will still work.

>>5011938
