I dig it. I hear better music at local bars than I do on the radio.
How to Destroy Angels (Trent Reznor) Awesome video. Disturbing images. Great song.

Interesting. Will definitely have to give more of their stuff a listen.Quote:

Just re-discovered this band and the fact it has Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) is just plain awesome.
Anyone know why this won't play?

Great, great song.
Because the person that uploaded it to Youtube turned off the ability to embed it into forums and other websites, forcing you to go to youtube to watch it.Quote:

No kidding! That would have sucked. Makes me wonder what other gems didn't make the album? ...maybe we'll get a b-side ep or something! :)Quote:

I think my favorite vinyls that I own are Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, and Electric Ladyland and anything I have by Santana, I am starting to truly appreicate though some PInk Floyd albums , I have a Ray Charles Live Album that I play alot.
Bingo! I try to explain that to other people but they just don't get it. Its hard to explain. There's a 'warmth' that comes with vinyl that you just don't get with digital. Sitting around, drinking cold beers, and listening to vinyl is one of my favorite activities. :DQuote:

Another thing thats pretty cool about vinyl these days is that most bands put a coupon for a free download of the album in each record. So I can buy the record and still be able to put it on my Ipod.
...and not to mention a lot of vinyl goes up in value!
Drinking cold beers doing anything other than work makes it my favorite activity at least at the moment it does.
I went to the used record shop today and bought about 6 new (old) Lp's mostly 70's soul albums a couple of Live albums, my wife got an ABBA album and I picked up about my 6th Bob Marley album...lol, spent a total of 10.00 god I love shopping for records, will probably do the same tomorrow going to a better store thats just farther away from my house and I didn't really feel like driving to it
...Good point! :DQuote:

How much does a turntable typically cost? I have a few records at home that my mom gave me, but I don't have a turntable to play them.

This is a good starter turntable...;)
Best Buy actually carries some turntables and also a few records. I think the ones I've seen at Best Buy are around $100-$150. I would start with Ebay though.
Absolutely.Quote:

Wrong...you obviously have never listened to vinyl.Quote:

Me personally I wouldnt pay more than 150.0 for one, I have mine hooked up to my home theater surround sound (of course changing the audio type) and it sounds awesome.
No. I have listened to vinyl. Lots of it (my mom had a HUGE collection of them).Quote:

Hopefully when I graduate I can start up a collection of albums.Quote:

Yeah Drake's new album is great, I'll buy a copy of it when I get paid. Its a great first CD for him.
Nope. Still wrong.Quote:

If you haven't heard Eminem's new album all I have to say is LISTEN TO IT. ASAP.
But one of my favorites is this one.
