yeah, just go easy on the solution. it should "almost" air-dry before you brush. and make sure you are cleaning your brush after every side

I was spinning some Depeche Mode - Music for the Masses and some GNR - Lies and UYI yesterday.

Over the weekend I was relunctantly dragged to this massive rummage sale and ended up leaving as happy as a pig in shit with some vintage Dynaco A25 speakers. They were in pristine condition and I got them for $20! You will often see these go for well over $250 online. Coupled with my Pioneer receiver/TT they give an extremely full sound for mid-sized speakers. There's nothing like vintage gear!

I've been torn about whether or not to indulge in some new/reissue NIN on vinyl. On one hand they are a very vinyl-friendly band, but on the other hand there's nothing like NIN in surround sound from a DVD-A. Apparently I can only go with the extremes for Mr. Reznor.

i actually think that the Rez doesn't support this reissue since he had nothing to do with and interscope just put it out... i bought one anyway though

I've had Dylan's "Desire" playing on my player for a few weeks now. I love that album.

I usually rotate betweens Desire, Times are a-changing, Pumpkins-Adore and, Stones-Hot Rocks.

A few others get squeezed in too from time to time.

He doesn't....hopefully it's still a quality release. Let me know how the artwork looks.

*prays for Fragile reissue*

usually i wouldn't go for a non-band supported release (e.g., radiohead greatest hits vinyl or whatever that's $75), but come on, it's the downward spiral

This is how I feel too.

Man, that radiohead greatest hits thing was like $70 when I saw it. F that.

i didn't really see a reason to avoid the TDS reissue. i mean, the guy's still going to get paid for it. how could you pass up TDS on 180g?

i found one of those weird brazilian pressings of Broken yesterday. now i've got lots of things to keep checking the mail for.

on the radiohead best of... i've seen some sites selling it for $90-100! you could just buy all the albums on their own for that much.

I scored a massive haul of LPs and a beautiful Acoustic Research Turntable this weekend. I'll let the pictures below do the talking... 1000+ LPs (mostly pop/rock from the 70s/80s, plus some classical) and an AR-XB turntable in the original packaging. All for the sweet price of $125, found on Kijiji in the Ottawa area.

Overall the records were well cared for, albeit a little dusty. The Shure cartridge on the AR-XB may be old, but still sounds great however there is a slight hum coming from the ground on the TT so I may end up changing the wires.
