    does anyone on here remember (this will really show your age if you do :lol: ) post card records? it was before my time but a guy at work told me about them, you would buy a post card and write your shit on the back but the front side was a record! he said they where really only good for a couple of plays because they where so thin.

    Good thread :)

    the last few records I've bought are:

    Monsters of Folk
    Backspacer x 2
    Quadrophenia re-release
    Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue
    Tragically Hip - We are the Same
    Wilco - Wilco
    Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
    Jack Johnson - En Concert
    Neil Young - Live @ The FIllmore
    Kings of Leon - Only by the Night

    My latest obsession (other than Backspacer of course) is Sky Blue Sky by Wilco. I know it's not their newest but it's their best. I highly recommend...

    yeah, sky blue sky was actually the first Wilco album i ever listened to. I have it on CD... very good. Impossible Germany ranks amongst the best songs of all time... IMO.

    Vinyl is coming Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is so much to buy and so little money, I pre-ordered all Nirvana re-issue's 180 gram colored, Nirvana live at Reading vinyl, DMB, AIC, Dead Weather, and of course PJ Backspacer, i just might order the Foo-Fighters Greatest Hits? What has everyone else been buying? or what are your new editions?

    I love the perception that people have that vinyl is "coming back" it never went anywhere, I have been constantly been buying vinyl since I was a kid in the 70's, when cd's came out in the 80's I still bought vinyl, when vinyl became less attractive to consumers in the 90's, it was still available and I still bought it, in fact in the late 90's and early 2000's there were so many re issues on 180G or 200G vinyl it was awesome.

    My friends and I have been buying from Music Direct a lot the past 5 or 6 years, the Austin Record Convention comes to town 2 times a year, Half Price Books here in Austin has a pretty good used vinyl selection and Waterloo Records and several other record shops here in Austin have great selection new records, I have Backspacer on cd and I am buying it on vinyl next week, along with MMJ:At Dawn, The Who:Who's Next and one of The Kinks re-issues, either Misfits or Sleepwalker, oh and I just bought a used (2008) Miles Davis Bitches Brew 180G at Waterloo for $15.00 in PERFECT condition, so to me vinyl is not coming back, it never went anywhere to begin with! But I'm glad more people are excited about it again! I have over about 2,000 records and it's been an addiction since I was a kid. :mrgreen:

    http://www.musicdirect.com/ I LOVE this site to buy records.

    Hello,

    No disrespect, but I believe that vinyl IS coming back. At least in the mainstream.

    Some examples:
    Green Day re-released their catalogue on vinyl. As did Ben Harper.

    The Tragically Hip... after 11 studio albums finally released their latest on vinyl as well.

    Box stores are actually beginning to carry vinyl. I was in Best Buy one day and saw a record player on sale as well as like... 8 or 9 records. REALLY not a lot, but it wasn't there the last time I was in Best Buy.

    Those are just a couple examples.. not concrete.. but examples.

    I started to get all PJ vinyl :)... but I have to admit that a vinyl collection seems very attractive to have and to spin...

    I got the Cream Disraeli Gears ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disraeli_Gears ) I do not even know what is inside... it is still sealed and framed in those 45' LP Frames :) . I think it is a classic black disc because it is de Back to Black "collection".

    Some of you European guys, French in particular, know where vinyls can be found here in Paris. I've been living here 5 years now, and I cannot find any "indie" music shop :S.

    Another question to all of you... do you guys use a regular player for spinning your LPs ? or something more pro in order to get a nice sound ?

    I sometimes wish tenclub had as good of shipping rates as Subpop, they rock and are super cheap!

    Mudhoney Since Weve Become Translucent (clear vinyl)
    Mudhoney The Lucky Ones (with free non album 45)
    Mudhoney EGBDF (coloured vinyl)

    All around ten bucks. Add the Green River Tees and kick ass poster, and a Nirvana five dollar sliver 45 and a heap of super cheap Mud 45s and thats what Ive been buying. Also

    Oregon Crossing
    Pink Floyd - Zabriskie point reissue (w their best song 'Unknown Song') on glorious vinyl
    Soundgarden - Ultramega OK

    Searching for

    Mudhoney - Tommorrow Hit Today
    and
    Three Fish - Selt Titled and Quiet Table, both with three extra, non cd tracks, which are incredible. I would be VERY much appreciative if anyone had them digitialized...

    Pre-ordered the vinyl too! Shipping made it a bit pricey. $42.99 was the final cost with shipping... :o
