Music Shit / Metal Reccomendations
« on: January 21, 2007, 08:16:24 AM »
Don't know if there is a thread about this already. In any case, I want to hear some good metal. I like Rhapsody, but doesn't mean it has to be like that.
Let me know what to get. Preferably new stuff over the old stuff. But old stuff is good to.

Hey Kevin,
Are you going to be selling any records at the show in Chicago next weekend? I need to know whether I should save my money or not.

Non-Music Shit / Re: computer
« on: January 20, 2007, 10:33:43 AM »
My job is to repair PCs. You wouldn't imagine how many times I have seen PCs do the weirdest shit. They will break for any reason. I am convinced they make those computer parts from 60% crackers. The software problems are a whole other Pandoras Box. PCs are always running into software issues, updates are a never ending source of headaches. Plus, the virus issue is way too absurd. If you go with a PC get a Dell. Gateway is going to go out of buisness and IBM is without a doubt the worst in terms of support. In order to get updates you have to contact IBM, descibe the problem, find the driver, wait around, then they e-mail you the driver/update. With Dell, at least all you have to do is go on their website and get drivers/updates very easily and for free on all kinds of things. Dell still has Drivers/Updates from products that are 5 or 6 years old.
With all of that said, buy a Mac. I have been using macs for 10+ years. The number one benefit of having a Mac, in my opinion, is never having to worry about virus's. I never have bought one virus protection software program or have received one virus. Can't say the same for all the PC users. One day, my entire office was shut down due to a virus. Plus Macs are built much stronger then PCs, by far. But that does not mean they do not have their problems. The absolute biggest problem is that, most excluding the G4 tower, have multiple components built into one. The repair on those parts can be very expensive. I have an iMac without a functioning monitor because I couldn't afford to replace the Logic Board ($750 repair). PCs do not have this problem. I certainly repair way more PCs then Macs, but the individual costs of those parts are much smaller. But perhaps the incredible frequency of the problems adds up to more than the once in a lifetime repair you will have with a Mac. In any case, this can be easily solved if you get the repair insurence that they offer. Which I highly reccomend. It saved me from paying for a second broken Logic Board on my iBook. Was fixed free of charge due to the insurance. Another fault of Macs is that they are way more expensive. Recently, Mac just secured Intel chips for their computers, so they will be the fastest now.
SteveBeat is right about the software issues. That is a myth left over from the 90s. During that time, almost no software was written for Macs. But over the last 6 years or so that is no longer the case. Pretty much anything you want for your PC can be purchased for your Mac. Especially if it is consumer software. Some of the more specialized programs aren't on Macs, but that is really complicated programming type stuff that most people aren't going to use. I have SoulSeeX and it is just fine.
In short, buy a Mac. I think the vulnerability of PCs should be reason enough to never buy one. And christ man, whatever you do buy, don't get an HP. Those are junkyard computers put together from recycled parts. They break more than anything.

Used Records For Sale/Auctions/Wantlists / Re: Craaaaaap...
« on: January 19, 2007, 11:43:19 AM »
Yep, I used this system to keep track of a bidder and see what he bought. It was a good way to get stuff you didn't know about. I guess the best you can do now is search for member names and then check their feedback. Maybe that would eliminate competition for records? At least between you and the bidder you are tracking.

How much did that Epileptix single go for recently? I saw the one that mitch is describing for sale with their first 7". I saw that lot sell for around $60. But during that same week, the above mentioned Epileptix single sold on its own. I didn't catch that auction. How much did it sell for?

I know why Ebay hides the bidder names now. So morons like this won't be embarassed to throw down some serious cash on horrific records.

I agree with that statement about using the weird for Human Eye. I always thought that the Human Eye was the band Timmy Vulgar always wanted the Clone Defects to be. But why not post the B-side? Mars is a phenomenal song.

Just ordered the Epileptix Great Fits LP for $8. I now begin to cross fingers, shit bricks, lay awake at nights, and sweat continuously until it actually shows up.

Music Shit / Gories Subpop 7"
« on: January 13, 2007, 04:05:22 PM »
Is the Red version of this record really the rarest? The red version is incredibly easy to get, while the Blue and Pink colors hardly ever show up, despite the fact that they are the larger of the pressings.
According to grunenrocks.nl....
Red Vinyl: 100 copies
Blue Vinyl: 1500 copies
Pink Vinyl: 2900 copies
Presumably, all one pressing? Or was it one or two different pressings? I am not familiar with how the Fan Club editions of Subpop records were pressed.
Perhaps these stats are correct. But the abundance of ready to purchase red vinyl versions of this record really have me wondering where the hell did the other 4400 copies of this record go to, if the scum stat info is correct?
Any ideas?

Agreed. I'm sure if they want people to download it then the band will make it happen.

I speak French so if you can get a copy of it to me then I can translate it and send you the translation. That is assuming of course the scan is readable. Otherwise, seventeen, it would be great if you could scan a copy or something.
