Fuck it though, the title of this thread is cooler than the other one. Let's just go with this one instead.

[popdisaster00]

Right now I have:

Tera Melos / By the end of tonight: Complex full of phantoms
NFG - NWAF
MCS - I am the movie + Even if it kills me
minus the bear - menos el oso
protest the hero - fortress
limbeck - hi, everything's great
saves the day - stay what you are
fear before - art damage

+ some old stuff like simon and garfunkel and stuff like that. I really just started and have a few that I know I'll be buying soon. I started just by getting the classics, some of my all time favorites. Now i'm looking for new stuff.

[heyzombiehitler]

Fall out boy next to the gaslight anthem? Paramore next to alkaline trio? That picture makes my dick sad.

[TheReservoir]

Do you guys actually have record players or do you just collect the records for fun?

[mybreakingpoint]

I typically only collect 7"'s. The only 12"'s I own are Elliott's "False Cathedrals" and Cursive's "The Ugly Organ"

i have probably 4 or 5 7"'s and that's about it. i have a record player and listen to a select handful of my 7"'s pretty regularly when i'm in my bedroom.

Dillinger Four - Versus God
Dillinger Four - Midwestern Songs of the Americas

Unfortunately I don't have a record player yet. My roommates do though, so I just have to make sure mine arrives before summer and I'm set.

[ThePartialGlow]

Started about 6 months ago, and these are my finds so far:

Awesome.

[x togepi x]

threads like this suck.

[shit stroll]

this thread makes me feel proud of my collection.

[bernie16wb]

The only new things I have on vinyl are Manchester Orchestra's newest album and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I have a lot of older vinyls that I've inherited (stolen) from my parents as well as picked up from garage sales. Lot of Beatles, The Who, etc.

[Genuma]

so much stereotypical wanna be indie scenester vinyl in here. every kid has to have a nmh vinyl.

They're pretty fantastic. Kind of chamber pop-y with a lot of great hooks. Plus, Wes Miles's voice is just awesome. Check them out sometime.

It's a great album, and for some reason it feels a little more 'correct' hearing it on vinyl, especially after it gets a little beat up and gets kind of grainy sound to it. Don't be an elitest ass please :wave:

[neurosis]

I get most of my records at thrift stores, but I did get Elliott Smith's s/t, Dead Kennedy's "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" 7" (with armband!), and "Tim" by the Replacements recently, which is pretty cool.

But for now, Deja will do; its got a permanent spot in my record player.

Haha wow, you don't even know me dude. Asshole move?
My parents have had vinyls of shit like 13th Floor Elevators, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles. What is "my" record player used to be theirs. Its red plastic from the 80s.
I like having my OWN record collection, my own vinyl copies of records that I'm getting into.
What other records I've got aren't MY collection, they're my parents' records and I openly admit it.

I didn't know there was elitism over record collections.

Question - how many copies of Daisy were made? I was an idiot and didn't buy one.

Hahahahahaha. Except for the fact that I NEVER claimed to be cool or underground. I was just sick of listening to old crusty records and wanted one or two of my own. You're just starting an argument for no reason whatsoever.
When things are packed in boxes, its fun to go through and discover what your parents were like when they were your age.
I know my record "collection" may not be as expansive as yours. So be it. I'm not gonna go crying about it and I don't have a fucking thing to apologize for.
Grow up?

There is nothing elitist about calling you guys out for what you are: trendhoppers who wouldn't be buying records if it wasn't cool.

I don't care how shitty your collections are. Mine would be quite shitty if I posted it here. Mostly noise/skramz bands nobody cares about and the rest are hipster essentials/punk records nobody cares about, but it's mine. That's the difference. Basically every collection here is interchangable. No personality at all.

Ap.net Vinyls Collection 2k9

Fall Out Boy Record
Brand New Record
Obligatory Old Record (probably bob dylan or the beatles)
preordered Daisy
shitty metalcore
repeat x five.

[Genuma]

I would suggest it. My neighborhood store is not very Costello friendly. I'm gonna have to take a trip into the city to find some more stuff.

Perhaps, and I know this is a stretch, but is it not possible that I was talking about one of the other 30 or so users that posted in this thread? No need to be so defensive.

Your list makes me laugh though. Although I will never punish anyone for owning Dylan. I don't care if it is for street cred.

I will 100% back you up on the people buying vinyl when it became cool though. I guess you could throw me in that category since I only started collecting a year and a half ago. But it really only throws me into confusion when people buy records with no player. I don't really care why you buy them but if you don't listen to them than it's just insulting.

[Burn That Shit]

vinyls lol

[c_rob2700]

Holy trendhopping christ. And I thought seeing Relapse on vinyl at Best Buy was bad. Do some of you even have record players or does seeing Lil Wayne's giant ugly mug or RIOTRIORIOTRIOTRIOTRIOTRIOT on your wall truly just put a giant fucking smile on your face? Would definitely pay 50+ for My Chemical Romance Watchmen picture disc?

"NO I DON'T JUST DO IT BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN SPIKE IN POPULARITY. I INHERITED MY DAD'S COLLECTION OF BOB DYLAN/THE BEATLES/THE CARPENTERS COLLECTION. NOW WHERE CAN I FIND DAISY? HOW MANY VINYLS WERE MADE FOR IT? IS IT AS RARE AS DEJA? MY PREORDER BETTER GET HERE ON TIME. BETTER COME WITH A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD TOO SO I CAN LISTEN TO IT!"

that's almost exactly what I said. and you're not much better.

[AlternateToLife]

You people need to chill out really. Even if someone did just start buying records cause they heard it was cool who cares? I like Lil Wayne and that MCR song and the police and elvis costello and nofx and the get up kids and every album I own. I get more out of it listening to it straight through on vinyl. I get excited by colored vinyl and I just generally enjoy collecting/listening to records. Why is that a major issue for you guys?

I get excited by colored vinyl and I just generally enjoy collecting/listening to records. Why is that a major issue for you guys?

To be fair, it really shouldn't be something that bugs you.

Why shouldn't it? He's attacking me and those around me for something he clearly knows shit about. I'd say I have the right to be slightly irked.

He realized that the newest trend was bashing trends and decided to try it out on a thread that seemed to be accepting it. I understand.

He's only doing what many people do on this site, which is giving people a hard time for the things they enjoy. Honestly if you like to collect the records like the ones you listed, then ignore what he said and continue on buying the records you enjoy.

Yeah, man. Fuck me for not coining "trend-hopping". I should take lessons from someone who thought Nebraska was a shitty album until he discovered it was now cool to like The Boss in the orgcore community. I bet you can really relate to that small town struggle with your middle life poppin my (blue) collar, suburbian Chicago outlook on life. Fuck the man, up tha only wear flannel when I go to shows. Bet you can't wait to get that Larry Arms tat on your leg, bra. Gotta wear American Eagle jeans to cover it up around ma during Thanksgiving, though.

You're right I'm such a trendy trending trend hopper. I wish I was original and collected Gaslight Anthem vinyls like no one else.

Alright first off, the quoting things I said in the chat thread thing is quite creepy. Secondly, yeah I like Gaslight and Bon Iver. I'm a fan of bands who make quality music, what a trend jumper I am! I'm not sure where the Circa thing came from but I guess you needed some band to make the oh-so-original mommy's credit card joke with. I like the music I like. A lot of it gets swept up by this site. That's why I frequent it. Not so I can learn new insults, use them in arguments, and feel superior, but so I can discuss the music I like with fans of that music. I'm not pretending to be above all the posters here. That's the difference between you and me.

[AlternateToLife]

And for the record, because I never set this straight and you seem to be galavanting on with false information, I bought that watchmen picture disc for 6 bucks. Not 50. I don't know where you're getting that from, but it does not sell for that much.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_2_12?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=watchmen+picture+vinyl&x=0&y=0&sprefix=Watchmen+pic


Also, because I feel the need to call you out, I will also add that I seem to recall you having a certain black and white Bon Iver avatar before you decided you were too hardcore for avatars. Bitching about people liking bands you're a fan of. Now that is original.

Finished with this. You're sarcasm attempts are pathetic and tired and I'm done giving you fuel to bitch about on your twitter account.

You're right, common sense is creepy!


Secondly, yeah I like Gaslight and Bon Iver. I'm a fan of bands who make quality music, what a trend jumper I am!
That one went completely over your head. I'm a *rend *opper for liking them too, don't you worry! Isn't hypocrisy fun?

I'm not sure where the Circa thing came from but I guess you needed some band to make the oh-so-original mommy's credit card joke with.
Srry, Watchmen picture disc = Circa Survive i get punched by homeless crack addicts baloon picture disc. It's a metaphor, I Jesse Lacey'd you. To be fair, I was going to use a "Cool Story, bro" reflacted light mirror swoop pic meme but we got some *rend *oppers in here who beat me the punch. Lucky I didn't burn your ass with a Chiodos vinyls lolcat

Not so I can learn new insults, use them in arguments, and feel superior, but so I can discuss the music I like with fans of that music. I'm not pretending to be above all the posters here. That's the difference between you and me.
Sweet, I discuss shitty music on here all the time with people and write long, obnoxious, paragraphs arguing about it. Not quite sure where you get my superiority complex from, considering I never stated anything that constitutes the premise. Next you're going to call me pretentious, that'll be fun


EDIT: CALL'D ME OUT! Sweet research, Carmen Electra but no cigar. For one, I'm pretty sure I stated that I liked Bon Iver at the beginning of this dance. Cool that it went completely over your head yet again. Regardless of that, the avatar you're referring too was in fact, not Bon Iver. Whoops, guess you should know your bearded dudes better.

I decided recently that, with the decline of CDs and my love for physical albums and the artwork that comes with it, it'd make sense for me to hop on the whole trendy vinyl bandwagon. I bought a copy of this on vinyl last week:

http://ticktick.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/microphones_glow_pt2.jpg

Yeah, I felt pretty lame buying such a typical hipster album, especially since I don't own a record player yet, but you have to start somewhere, right?

Yesterday, I got some vinyl from my brother's church's rummage sale for 10 cents each, including Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. I also bought Procol Harum because the cover looked sweet; turns out I kind of enjoy this band. I still live with my parents, and there's not much room here, so I'm not sure when I'll actually buy a record player, but I'd love to have a nice one in my room when I have my own house someday, and it's not a bad idea to have this pseudo-collection ready for then.

[sdflasejfhed]

this thread has gone from F- to A+ relatively quickly. Figured I should join in.

Can somebody please hate on me for being a 15 year old ****** that has chiodos vinyl?

I spelled this out to you.

There's no personality to it. You can easily make fun of most of these collections because they're all derivative. They're not collections so much much as mere accessories that people are posting on the internet to be verified. Cool, you got that Deja Record, awesome you have thrice! It's different when you go through a collection of someone who's actually into vinyl. You'll see a reflection of their personality. It isn't exactly about the literal bands being collected. You could be legit and have that new thrice record or whatever but this thread exists to pump up egos that don't need to be pumped up.

I don't think I really understand what you mean by personality. If a person collects records for the sake of having internet cred and you can see that in their collection, than I think it reflects their personality perfectly.

But really that post, along with the other one I posted earlier were not about you. Other than that difference in opinion by the meaning of personality I generally agree with your posts. I'm directing my comments to the people who are incredibly insulted that people would own all the stereotypical albums. If they want to be that person, than cool. People will make fun of them, and that's fine too. But when people start flipping out at anyone and everyone who owns a vinyl album because it's a trend now, it's going a little too far.

Ok you win. You're substantially cooler than everyone in this thread because you love music for the music man. Collecting records can't possibly an enjoyable experience outside of the songs on the album. Why don't we all just download music from limewire and play it on our ipods? It's all the same songs anyway right? Music collectors for decades had the wrong idea, trying to have a physical experience they can enjoy outside of the song. Lyric sheets? Overrated. Colored vinyl? Overrated. So fuck all of us right? You don't get any pleasure out of the design of the album so everyone who does is just a tool looking for bragging rights right? Right! You're so smart. I'm glad you found your way onto this thread to enlighten us all.

Eh... If the color matters to the buyer for artistic/aesthetic reasons, then I see no problem with it. Also, if it's his/her favorite band, why not try to have a more complete personal collection?

Nothing in your post has pointed you in the direction of hipster/elitist so I will not call you that. I have no problem with elitism, at least then you make an actual opinion on your own tastes and opinions instead of just making generic hate posts. I for one am interested in some people's purchases. Many of whom, unlike you, have been posting on this board before so I do know a little about them and seeing the types of albums they buy interests me. If that makes me an "anonymous fuck" or whatever else you wanna call it then so be it.

Yeah I sarcasm overloaded a little. I apologize.

Nothing in your post has pointed you in the direction of hipster/elitist so I will not call you that. I have no problem with elitism, at least then you make an actual opinion on your own tastes and opinions instead of just making generic hate posts. I for one am interested in some people's purchases. Many of whom, unlike you, have been posting on this board before so I do know a little about them and seeing the types of albums they buy interests me. If that makes me an "anonymous fuck" or whatever else you wanna call it then so be it.
Just gonna let you know, I've been here about a year, but am using this account because my first was banned.

And there is a thread in General for this sort of vinyl talk, and it's for actual talk about collecting and not "zomg look what i have!!!!"

[AlternateToLife]

you try way too hard at this. everything about you is trying too hard. the capitals letters, "semi retired", your lame fucking profile picture. you have 9000 posts and haven't even been here for two years, no one fucking cares. jsut because you suck guys dicks in general doesn't mean they care. tons of people have come and gone exactly like you and you're fucking annoying. you probably listne to fucking say anything and try to rag on me for listening to springsteen.

Although I have nothing against your post as a whole, I will object to this statement. Just for the record I suppose.

Posting pics is a way to start conversation. Conversation had actually started in this thread before this argument arose (which I am partially to blame for)

I personally don't really care for the posters that frequent the general forum as much as this forum. I think it's a good thread idea. If it wasn't for the extreme throat jumping that came up, it could have been a good thread. In my opinion of course

A+ Thread.

[3milesdown]

People are mocking them because they are bragging about owning them. it isn't what they own, it's the fact that they're bragging about owning something that most people here who buy records probably bought.

that's why i think this thread is dumb. it's just bragging that you bought something. would you think a post pictures of your cd collection thread be cool?


agreed times a million.

i bet the "standard" vinyls collector (vinyls for nubs who don't actually collect records) on this site comprises of these records:

brand new, neutral milk hotel, saves the day, gaslight anthem, thursday, and some well known postrock band like explosions in the sky. if you search around DF or VC you'll see how extensive peoples' collections can get.

[anthonydarko]

Who let the fake account in?

[fotocanvas]

I posted earlier about my "lame" collection and that I don't have a record player, yet. I guess you could call me a trend whore, or whatever you want to say, as well. And in some ways I could be considered that. With me though, it's not about the records or how cool vinyl is or wow this is really old school or whatever. It's about the music. I haven't bought any of my records, they all were either given to me or I recieved them at a concert with a bunch of other stuff that came in the package. It's about the music and I don't turn down music. It's not that it's cool, it's just music. If I got free concert tickets I wouldn't turn them down. Free CD, I wouldn't turn it down. Music is music no matter what type of format it's in.

[ThePartialGlow]

There is nothing elitist about calling you guys out for what you are: trendhoppers who wouldn't be buying records if it wasn't cool.

I don't care how shitty your collections are. Mine would be quite shitty if I posted it here. Mostly noise/skramz bands nobody cares about and the rest are hipster essentials/punk records nobody cares about, but it's mine. That's the difference. Basically every collection here is interchangable. No personality at all.

Ap.net Vinyls Collection 2k9

Fall Out Boy Record
Brand New Record
Obligatory Old Record (probably bob dylan or the beatles)
preordered Daisy
shitty metalcore
repeat x five.

Ease up on the people who are new to it. Who cares?

Vinyl sales went up 300% last year. Best Buy is starting to carry vinyl while the CD section gets smaller and smaller. Did that happen because it's all of a sudden "cool" again? Probably. So be it. As I get more and more into music, I feel inclined to hear some of these albums the way they were originally meant to be heard. That's why I'm devoting a room in my house to this type of stuff. As music evolves from something I enjoy into something I have become passionate about, I want to further my experience. Many are in the same boat. The MP3 era has forced things such as album art, lyric sheets, etc. into the background. I find great enjoyment in digging through the boxes at record stores. Is Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album rare? Shit no. Is it cool to stumble across a copy of Who's Next that was probably used as a surface for drugs in some basement in the 70's? To me, it kinda is.

Just because some of us are late to the party, don't shit on the fact that we're here at all.

The fact that you have a record set that I've wanted for some time and instead of listening to them, like they should used, you mount them on the wall. That upsets me as someone who enjoys listening to records on vinyl and as a Thrice fan.

Sorry to have upset you sir. Fortunately for me, I'm also a huge Thrice fan and of course already owned the CD releases of the albums - which I can listen to anytime I want, anywhere I want. The vinyl set didn't exactly sell out quick, there was plenty of time to order it while it was up.

I think part of the vinyl experience is not just listening to them, but also the artwork and physical aspect, which in the case of this box set is incredible.

I'm not going to ease up on people at all.

The people I'm criticizing aren't being criticized because they're new. If you read anything I wrote and think that, then you're a fucking moron and shouldn't be posting on any forum ever. There is a mentality that is very prominent in "new people" (not that it isn't also found, though in lesser amount in "old people") that collecting records makes you somehow cool and unique and also a better music listener.

That's what I'm pointing out in threads like this. It's just kids bragging about shit they bought as if having that awesome paramore record on vinyl makes you cool. I'm saying this because you would never see "post pics of your cd collection". Merely owning some shitty LP doesn't make you passionate. Nor does bragging about going to record stores. drop the act, because there's ways you can talk about vinyl collecting in a meaningful manner.

haha I don't know you, how was I supposed to know you were joking? some people here would really say that!

[TheBaroness]

I spelled this out to you.

There's no personality to it. You can easily make fun of most of these collections because they're all derivative. They're not collections so much much as mere accessories that people are posting on the internet to be verified. Cool, you got that Deja Record, awesome you have thrice! It's different when you go through a collection of someone who's actually into vinyl. You'll see a reflection of their personality. It isn't exactly about the literal bands being collected. You could be legit and have that new thrice record or whatever but this thread exists to pump up egos that don't need to be pumped up.

I think this is a very good point. I feel sorry for a lot of you kids whose only access to vinyl is through Hot Topic or your parents' collections. I know what makes my collection special for me personally is that many of my records (particularly the ones I bought early on) have a story to them - either in terms of how I came to possess them, or the records themselves being documents of my life at the time. Now, it seems like most people are buying vinyl just to possess some so-called 'collectible' that they think they have to have, and every list for nearly every kid in this scene is exactly the fucking same - you've got Deja, Circa Survive picture disc, some fucking piece of shit Hot Topic release like the Juno or Watchmen soundtrack that no one ever plays and fuck knows why they buy them, etc. etc. It's like no thought, no love has gone into it at all. It's totally homogenized.

Agreed, one day hopefully I'll get my hands on one of them..
They're not sold out, by the way. Shockhound still has them.

Who actually listens to their records though, I mean lets be honest here, a turntable seems kind of useless.

I do. I have mostly records from the 60's/70's, but some recent ones as well. I've been listening to records for only 9 years, but honestly, I love listening to my older albums on days when I'm at home and relaxing with a hot cup of coffee. Nothing beats it....well, maybe rummaging through crate after crate and pulling out a long-time want for only $2.

Everyone's making fun of my watchmen soundtrack man :-( But I guess with good reason.

I really need to get a real turntable. I mean I have a crappy hundred dollar one and I listen to it and don't really mind but I wanna get something with real sound quality. Just need the cash and a good recommendation (hinthint)

That's amazing. If I can save up the money for that, it will be mine.

Ok. Vinyls = Records
Record player = turntable.

And records ARE cool! They have bigger artwork, better sound quality, and you can get them for very cheap if you know where to look. But if you're just gonna buy Daisy and / or Revolver, I think one should just stick to CD's.

I only have a shitty Ion USB turntable that I got from Newbury Comics :/

[Burn That Shit]

vinyls.

[neurosis]

Alright.

Oh I know, there is still copies for sale on Vagrant Records site as well. I just don't have the money to afford it at the moment.
