Name The Album You Just Bought

[zonelistener]

Then get yer ass out here.

I will. I will.

I spent way too much this evening.

Where have you been shopping for your vinyl (in the Twin Cities)?

 

[impy13]

Think I might head out tonight and pick up a few more...maybe even The Joshua Tree remastered on 180g

Let me know how it sounds. I've been debating picking it up, but I've got the original pressing and want to know if its worth upgrading.

Will do. I was going to get it Monday night, but I had already spent too much. There was only one copy though, so hopefully, it's still there.

I went over to Cheapo on Lake Street in Uptown. Any other suggestions? That was the first time I'd been vinyl shopping.

Cheapo

Electric Fetus and Treehouse Records (formerly known as Oarfolkjokepus) are pretty good. I thought there was a place in the Dinkytown area that had some good vinyl.

There used to be a GREAT place at 12th and Nicollet in downtown, and they ended moving and then closing. Can't remember the name, but I would spend entirely too much time and money in there. They had an unbelievable vinyl collection.

Also, Half Price Books is a good place to find used vinyl. A lot of the good small shops are long gone from MPLS.

I will have to check out all of those places! Thanks!

So, the haul for tonight:
U2 - The Joshua Tree (remastered) Wow, is it gorgeous! The booklet comes with it, in huge form, all around beautiful package.
The Flaming Lips - Oh My Gawd!...The Flaming Lips (clear vinyl)
The Flaming Lips - Telepathic Surgery (blue vinyl)
Bruce Springsteen - Magic (180g vinyl)
Bruce Springsteen - Greetings from Asbury Park

Side note: I saw Amnesiac for $45 new, and a promotional picture disc of OK Computer for $30 new, no sleeve. Thought about the OK Computer one, but decided against it. Spent way too much again as it was.

Greetings from Asbury Park makes for such nice vinyl, the way the postcard opens....I remember years ago when I bought it and how exciting it was and playing it on the record player was like listening to it for the first time only better!

anywho,
latest albums I bought:

Josh Ritter - The great historical conquest of JR (or something like that)

Marah - Angels of Destruction

I love how Asbury Park looks; it's such a cool vinyl sleeve. And, I have UF somewhere around here on vinyl, though I considered picking another copy up last night, since it was in nearly new condition for under $5.

 

[u2popmofo]

Those Clash vinyls sound quite enticing, Martha.....


Atlas Sound - 'Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel'

 

[bono_212]

Yeah that postcard thing is REALLY cool

Goldfrapp - Seventh Tree

No fair, it's not out here for a few more days.

*shakes fist in anger and frustration*

 

[onebloodonelife]

Let me know how it sounds. I've been debating picking it up, but I've got the original pressing and want to know if its worth upgrading.

So, wow, remastered Joshua Tree sounded amazing! I'd definitely suggest grabbing it. The only thing is that since it's a two LP record, you have to flip every 3 songs or so, which can get kind of annoying I guess, but it's well worth it for how great it sounds.

 

[impy13]

Well, I would have picked it up when I was at Waterloo just now, but I finally found my white whale:

I can't believe I actually stumbled across it. And for only 30 dollars!

I just made a list of albums I absolutely want to buy on vinyl. There are many, many more that I'd like to have, but the list was of records I felt I need to have.

The list was 83 albums long.

I think I'll just buy a lottery ticket instead.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I've been on a quest to convert all my downloaded albums that I like into something solid that can take up space in my apartment , my latest acquisitions which I already have in mp3:

Ryan Adams - Love Is Hell
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Elliot Smith - XO

Good luck with your quest!

I like you more and more everyday.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I like you more and more everyday.

the feeling is mutual

Ryan Adams related question: what is Whiskeytown like?

 

[Bonochick]

They are really, really good...definitely fit the definition of alt-country (and downright country sometimes), whatever that exact definition is.

A deluxe reissue of Strangers Almanac is coming out next month, but my favorite album of theirs is Pneumonia.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

So if I like RA, I should be pretty much guaranteed to like WT?

 

[Bonochick]

Well, I have encountered some people who like Ryan but don't like Whiskeytown, but they are obviously weirdos.
