The broken and fragile repressings are actually available on nin.com, and not for bad prices, either! It's everything after The Fragile we're still waiting on. Go get you some NIN!

Nice! (Lol, didn't even mean to copy your post)

Here's mine:

• Aphex Twin - Drukqs 
• Presidents of the United States of America - self titled
• Anything by Cake (seriously, even Motorcade)
• Sufjan Stevens - Silver and Gold

I would kill any of you people for these. I metaphorically, of course.

Holy shit! Yes, I needs! We have quite a few records that were given to me by my Dad (and I think CJ got some from his mom, too?), and I want to start picking some up soon. I always see ones I want either at Half Priced Books, or Forever Young, but since we're sans turntable... I pass them up.

The vast majority of my collection is from Half Price Books or Goodwill, though I've made out like a bandit at Forever Young a couple times. Need to head there with you and just fucking geek out at some point.

I'm planning on a brand new setup 'round tax time, because I'm an adult god damn it, and because I'll have some cash to throw at it. New shelving, new turntable, prolly a starter amp, and whatnot. I don't know yet.

NEW PICK UP! One of my friends at work gave this to me for mah birfday. Said he found it at HPB, which is good because they range between $45-200 online, depending on condition. It sounds like ass (terrible pressing), but the Coke Bottle coloration is absolutely worth holding on to. Definitely one of the more interesting looking records in my collection, and my first clear one, so still really really happy with it. Plus, it was a gift, and a complete surprise from the guy I talk vinyl with all the time at work, so yay! I will probably pick up a better pressing at some point and frame this one because it just looks so damn cool.

Also, just finished my first vinyl listen-through of Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump and now I'm tired and existentially depressed. Love that album.

Pickups from today!!!

I saved a good chunk of holiday overtime for a trip to Forever Young today (today being the last day off before school kicks in, and the day off right around my birthday), and I found these beauties.

In no particular order (edit: or Alphabetical order, apparently):

• Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F# A# ∞
• Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
• Rammstein - Reise, Reise

I went in for the GY!BE, because it's the only store I've seen with it. Sure I could order it online, but what's the point? The Rammstein freaking blew me away, though. I had no idea they were doing repressings and IT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE! @MetalHeart YOU NEEDS A TURNTABLE AT SOME POINT!

And that's how new reactions get made, folks!

Wow! A downvote from Nick!

My wife named Agatha Crispy, and is now parading her around the apartment screaming "I AM AWESOME!", so there you go

The Lord of the Rings

The Shining

Star Wars (through TFA):

So, a...year or so ago?...I decided to make some alternate movie posters for my HTPC setup for a couple movie series because the original series art varied wildly, or because I wasn't able to find good versions of the ones I wanted or something. 

Anyway, I made a couple series, and I'll post them in a moment, but I was wondering if anyone had anymore examples of stuff like this? Personally, I like overly minimalist posters (which you'll see in a second), but anything goes! 

Also also, relevant to my interests:

Akira Vinyl Re-release!

FURTHERMORE:

KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Also that gif at the end, holy shit!

Ah, shit! I want that one. Saw a remaster today at Fry's (of all places), but I don't know if it's a shit pressing, so I passed. Sad times.

Nice! I need to start branching out into other genres that I've always loved. Right now I have an odd blend of Prog Rock / Weird Electronica / Metal / Industrial / Herb Alpert. I'm taking the rest of my holiday money to Forever Young on Wednesday, so I'll hopefully have some more awesome then. Until then, it's me and Herb Alpert:

Mandatory Agatha Crispy:

And the only gatefold I'll ever need:

Also, that chicken is named Agatha Crispy. Just so you know.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND THIS AT HALF PRICE BOOKS IN PERFECT CONDITION

Holy shit, I love it!

Also, found a diy crate kit, and so now I have a crate for vinyl! Yay!

That tree had a family, man!

Alright, new problem!

The Insane Music Videos thread was bogging down to an extreme level (it took over a minute to load on my end, and I know it was taking @Da Cap'n 2099 a while to get it (if at all)). It turns out a post by @Iambaytor on January 13, 2016 eventually bugged out and became a series of embedded iframes that would load the Insane Music Videos thread again, which would then load that particular post (with the bugged out iframes), which would load the page AGAIN, and so on and so forth until the browser gave up.

I have ended the infinite loop and will try to repair the videos. I'm sorry I had to edit someone else's post, I don't like doing that, and I will try to restore the original content (minus the infinite loop) as soon as possible. Thank you.

double edit: the original embed code became so corrupted that I was unable to restore the original content. I have no idea what went wrong, but it was likely something to do with how they were embedded at the beginning (not Baytor's fault, mind you, just something odd). I'm sorry. :(

I've got most of my collection on Discogs. The app works pretty well, and even has barcode scanning. It's helped keep track of which releases I'm looking for, and what I already have. It may not be great, so to speak, but it's the best one I've come across so far.

Chuck Magione represent!

Also, probably one of my more interesting (to me) parts of my collection, a counterfeit copy of Bread from Goodwill:

Also, don't even get me started on the amount of Herb Alpert I have now....

Holy crap, that's a lot of stuffs! I've been eyeing the KALLAX stuff for around tax season. They just built an Ikea near us (also near one of my favorite record shops), so I'll be getting one like that soon! May just start at the 4x for starters like you said, because we could always use the storage!

Also, I need more shelving because I am so out of room.

They had Origin, Absolution, Showbiz, and Black Holes and Revelations at the place I went today. Wanted all of them reaaaaaaaally badly, but ended up grabbing my first exposure to them. I'm going to have to take a series of pictures of everything I got this year...I kinda got outta hand...

Those are incredible finds, by the way! A huge portion of my collection is from Goodwill / Half Price Books. One day I walked out of Goodwill with Saturday Night Fever, Lionel Richie, and Rick Astley for $.59 each.

Picked the limited edition of Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor at HPB for <$15 last week, too. Also, that was less than the gift card I was using, so it felt like it was freeeeeeee!

Grabbed a couple of my all-time favorites today. First off, the album that got me into MUSE more than a decade ago:

MUSE - Absolution

Sound quality is pretty good, but not great. Side A seems slightly off center, especially near the end. Other than that, a fantastic album, and a pretty good pressing. Pales in comparison to my other find. I've been looking for this next one for a while, and I've never so much as seen it in store. I don't want to order it online because I have no idea how it's going to look when it finally ends up in my hands, so I've been on the hunt for this one.

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

Only got into BoC because of @MetalHeart, so this is ALL YOUR FAULT. This pressing is AMAZING, and completely blows me out of the water. It's a 3 LP pressing, and side 6 has an incredible etching. It was supposed to come with a sticker, but my copy didn't, but it's just so amazing to have this in my hands.

Finally, here's what my beautiful wife got me for Christmas this year:

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral (2017 Definitive Edition)

Absolute perfection, and one of my favorite albums ever. I cannot tell you how much she knocked it out of the park on this one. Sound quality is perfect, art quality is perfect, it even has a booklet about the making of the album. 11/10
