Why yes, I'm a new vinyl otaku; Picked up 2 records to start my collection, Discovery and Fore!Now if only I had some way to listen to them………..What contemporary classics have you been experiencing bun?
I just ordered two CDs and some merch off of booth. Still waiting on the stickers to arrive at buyee warehouse so I can ship the whole thing... first time I've done this so I'm not sure if that'll work. Will post report if successful. MP3 uploads don't work so uh I'll post some soundcloud links from some small jp artists.https://soundcloud.com/nov2001/plate-tectonics-1https://soundcloud.com/mihequi/trackhttps://soundcloud.com/mamomop/7844old_dusk_town

surugaya had a couple urusei yatsura discs and free shipping so lets see what happens
Setup is all done and it sounds fairly well now that I have a brush to clean the fucking things. Running a AT-LP120XUSB connected to an old Yamaha HTR-5440 5 channel + subwoofer home theater setup with a Fluance PA10 preamp. Fore! skips sometimes unless I have anti-skating set to 0 for some reason. Discovery plays fine, presumably because it's brand new. Maybe I fucked up the level. I also bought a bunch more records like Fragile and In the Court of the Crimson King.I recommend it if you can afford it; Expect to spend around $1-2k on a decent setup.

>>2036Shipped. Pixiv manufactures some items in-house on demand, so that explains the delay. Stickers were actually keychain accessories, which after some reading I found take about 10 days for them to process the order. It didn't cross my mind but there is a disclaimer which reads:>Your item will be created after you send in your order.So that explains that. I still had 20 days of free storage on my items, so I was able to consolidate the packages and ship it. I will probably make a larger order with slower shipping to cut costs next time, but this has just been a test run. I think I actually fucked up because the keychains arrived with no price information, and Buyee required me to fill that in for the invoice. I ordered two, but entered the value of one, and after I filled it out, I couldn't change it. Not too worried because I assume the invoice is for customs, and I think the chance they give a shit about these keychains is slim to none.Package should arrive by next week if everything goes well. IDK if this is useful or interesting but that is my blog for the day.

My albums from Japan and the UK arrived today. The Urusei Yatsura picture disc plays at 45 rpm which is really weird for a 12 inch record. There's some surface noise because they shipped it in a retarded way as usual but it sounds fine.
>>2116>colored vinylThat sucks. You ought to know anon, that coloring the vinyls or printing images on them like some sellers do ruins the quality and shelf-life of vinyls. There's a reason you often see them in just black.

>>2095Merch has arrived. I bought Dual Nature and Embroidery by Miyo Takashiro, and these two keychain acrylics from her merch store. Some gud songs on these albums, which makes up for the small track list. They came in paper sleeves with lyric and track info cards, which maybe at some point I'll take a picture of the tiny moonrunes and try to use OCR on it. The keychains still have a sharp acrylic smell... but it seems like they're still fresh and it's already wearing off. Delivery came without issue, and the contents were well padded. Since it all went well I'll make a larger order once I make of the list of artists I want to collect stuff from.
