haha if you have a discogs account and log your collection (like I do), then that just links to whoevers viewing it's personal collection. i looked at it and was like, "damn! this dude has good taste!", then realized i was just looking at my own catalogue. haha

nice...i just found the site probably a month or 2 ago(discogs)....its really cool to see what i actually have
Does anyone have a recommendation for some decent speakers/receiver I could purchase for my record player? Right now it is running into my home theater system in my basement, but I would like to move the player to my living room. I'm not looking to spend too much, just something to get some decent sound. Thanks.
I was in Nashville recently to see Todd Snider/Justin Townes Earle, and stopped by third man records while i was in town. Picked up a copy of the 5.6.7.8's album.....and got to listen to a 3inch while in the store
Anyone ever seen QOTSA - Songs for the Deaf available?
Check discogs and ebay and expect to pay at least $100 for it. I am sure they will reprint it eventually though...they reprinted their first album recently. I'd hold out for a reprint.
Really bummed that all the special features coming out with the Blur box set are only if you get the CD version - the vinyl box is just the albums on vinyl, while the CD box has the albums, a live DVD, and like 3.5 hours of b-sides and stuff.
first, I didn't know there was a blue box coming out. looks awesome.
second, I agree. I like the way The Smiths did it better with their Complete box. all the CDs and vinyl and bonus crap in one box.
personally I'd be happy with a vinyl box and downloads of the bonus crap in FLAC/ALAC. I wish more artists offered lossless downloads with their vinyl. I mean I appreciate it when mp3 is offered, but you have to think that people into vinyl are generally people that are into good sound, so lossless files make sense for that demographic.
It was incredibly difficult but I gave up my vinyl habit to put those funds towards roo, now that it's behind us, I finally get to renew my vinyl addiction! First trip to the record store will be tomorrow am and I can't wait.

Jack White has embarked on his first tour as a solo artist after having spent much of his career as member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.
In Nashville, his adopted hometown, the musician has set up shop with his record label Third Man Records. There he not only records albums and shoots music videos, but hosts tailgate parties for his legions of fans.
But why does one of the most successful digital recording artists make sure his work is still pressed on vinyl just down the road at the local plant?
"The whole experience of vinyl is what we're after. If we don't see something moving, we lose romance," said Mr White.
"There's no romance for me to sing to you about an iPod."
The BBC caught up with Jack White in Nashville on the opening night of his tour at the city's legendary Ryman Auditorium.
"I had worried that White would be glib and pretentious," says the BBC's North America Editor Mark Mardell. "He's anything but. He's thoughtful, eager to explain, playful and endearingly humble when praised."
Yesterday I picked of Of Monsters and Men's My Head is an Animal. Was pleasantly surprised to find pink vinyl when I opened it up. I loved colored vinyl, just sayin.

Third Man Records 13th vault package is announced, and it's a doozy.
First ever recorded white stripes show - pressed on white vinyl, plus other goodies.
Deciding to pull out all the stops for Vault package #13, Third Man Records has dug deep into the archive and is offering its most historically significant collection yet.
The LP for this quarter is the White Stripes first-ever live show. Recorded at the Gold Dollar in Detroit on August 14th, 1997 while opening for Rocket 455 and ‘68 Comeback, this soundboard recording is overly striking in how present and fully-formed the presentation and execution of the White Stripes was so early on. Featuring a blistering cover of the Stooges’ “TV Eye” as well as radically different versions of originals like “Screwdriver” and “Lafayette Blues,” the set is a treat for ALL Stripes fans across the world.
The accompanying 7” is a recording from the White Stripes first-ever live performance, recorded on Bastille Day, (July 14th, 1997) at the Gold Dollar’s open-mic night. Also presented in crystalline soundboard quality, the renditions of “St. James Infirmary”, “Jimmy the Exploder” and “Love Potion #9” are more of the “warts-and-all” variety, but still brim with the childish charm and a heartwarming awareness of how far Jack and Meg would journey from such an unassuming start.
For our bonus item, we’ve revisited the classic White Stripes peppermint logo painted by Jack White around the time of these Gold Dollar shows. The same peppermint would be used as the basis for the first White Stripes t-shirts, as the b-side image of their “Hello Operator” picture disc, on the poster for their s/t record release show and plenty of other places. Noting how wildly popular tote bags have been with our fans, we’ve decided to finally put this iconic image on a tote bag. Perfect for bagging your own groceries, going record shopping or displaying in your White Stripes shrine, this tote is not only printed on both sides of the exterior but also features imagery on the inside.
Sign up for this package before subscriptions close on July 31st. Dare we suggest this might be the most excited we’ve ever been for a Vault release. We hope you feel the same way too.
