Polvo - Polvo
Superchunk - I Hate Music
Superchunk - What a Time to be Alive

New in this week

[Aetas]

Some new 12inch and I leave the music here…
Two years after matchlessly “Prince” published ’Kiss’, The Art of Noise and Tom Jones covered it.

Morgan and I love Christmas. Getting new Christmas records is one of our favorite traditions. Going to get our tree in a bit and play our new holiday albums!!

@Mizmazzle SX-950

[Mizmazzle]

@TinMan that’s a beautiful receiver!! I have an SX-850. My dream receiver is the SX-1250. How does the 950 sound? I sometimes wish my 850 had more power. But I have it down in a small listening room in my basement so it works well for that space.

[Mizmazzle]

@TinMan this is my pride and joy

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle speaking as someone with a fairly extreme brian wilson/beach boys obsession that album is essential for the holidays

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE we played that one first while decorating the tree. After many glasses of wine and a few shots of bourbon lots and lots of ornaments, and all the new xmas albums (the ventures being my favorite of the new batch) …put the new Kyuss album on and turned it way up!!! So damn good!!!

@Mizmazzle ita the only vintage RSX I have ever had. 7 or 8 years ago, took in my dad’s old pioneer turntable for repair. The guy was liquidating and I picked that up for 300.00 bones. Best 300.00 I ever spent! It’s got plenty of power I ran some b&w 703 no problem. In middle of remodel and my listening room is in disarray. Your marantz is a beauty, pride and joy no doubt!

[TinMan]

I have small mix of music, vinyl and cd. I have always loved 2CH listening. I also use a lot of Apple Music for listening anywhere and everywhere! My listening session and current rotation was getting stale. Been scrolling through this thread and shouting at Siri all day.

Thanks to everyone for sharing!

Found some more Waits and Real Estate that I didn't have already

[Aetas]

Couldn’t get a ticket for their upcoming Moon Safari tour.

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas hell yeah!! I’d love to catch an Air show.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas is that one you just picked up?

[Aetas]

Bought it last weekend @GraemeE @Mizmazzle
Now my lust for the 12’ “Air-Surfing On A Rocket” in picture Vinyl is high…

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I saw this LP at the thrift store near my house yesterday

The cover made me think it was probably cheesy eurovision type music so I didn't buy it but I can always go back

[tody]

@GraemeE Never heard of them, but going by Discogs, it's probably as cheesy as it gets...

@tody "Schlager" as a genre doesn't sound promising
