i get that he's endearing and indecently innocent. i just don't get the why

[erickelric]

Whatever, he's probably a former day trader trying to redeem his soul with vintage media. Yawn.

[androo]

entirely plausible

[Sukebe GG]

Going after the ASMR market maybe?

The comments on that video are pretty cool

do you know if fools garden recorded there music on vinyl. ? couse I really  want them on vinyl but I am really new in the community PLEAS HELP

So true what ur saying. I think they overprice way more at FYE then B&N. Urban outfitters is actually cheaper then both which is surprising. I buy almost all my new records from Urban outfitters. I went to this one vintage record store where I live & believe it or not they were selling new records & the prices were higher then B&N, FYE & Urban outfitters all together! I literally had bought a FKA twigs album for $19.98 that day & the vintage record store was selling the same one for $25.00! I mean that's just wrong! I don't buy a lot from B&N or FYE. I mostly buy from urban outfitters & Amazon. It's probably the most cheap it's gonna get unless you go to discogs & get used vintage records or something in that range.

For Mr. Arenella, music is a full-time job. His band plays 60 weddings a year, and so much of his time is spent transcribing 78 r.p.m. recordings by hand and practicing. When he relaxes, he does not put on sweatpants, nor does he even own a pair. ?At home I?m generally naked,? he said. (He also doesn?t wear underwear.)

At 6 feet 1? inches tall, he is built like a strongman with broad shoulders, and most of his vintage-look clothing, including the white cotton suit he was wearing, must be custom-made.

?I?ve been starting to dress like this all the time,? said Steven Wong, 29, a dancer who performed at the festival. ?I don?t have a girlfriend now, but I would like her to be into the ?20s. All the girls I like are into the ?50s.?

How about Power Pop man? The Raspberries are at least as annoying as Hijokaidan...well, their fans certainly are...grating...on and on about the genius of Badfinger...

[erickelric]

Some Jeff Foxworthy-level stuff going on there.

[I Am Not Marty Feldman]

Many similarities between power-pop guys and noise guys. Toss hardcore people in there, too.

But time and social change have been rough on the Beach Boys. Their best-known hits (say, ?California Girls,? ?Help Me, Rhonda,? ?I Get Around?) are poems of unenlightened straight-male privilege, white privilege, beach privilege. It is hard to imagine that they helped anyone toward self-determination or achieving their social rights. Brian Wilson?s great integrative achievement as a songwriter and producer was absorbed in bits and pieces by others?Paul McCartney especially?but it mostly worked for him alone. In their rhythm and humor the Beach Boys sound squarer all the time compared to Motown, the Beatles, and the Stones, and a lot of Phil Spector. Of course, it comes down to individual songs.

"I see, and is this hotel next to a beach? I see. Well, that's fine, but it's just that my girlfriend and I were raised with...you know...beach privilege."

Nothing says "privilege" like being the fat, schizophrenic beach boy. Status! Glamour! Success!

In which Dusted writer Jennifer Kelly tries to pit the various female members of Major Stars against each other for some reason.  Feminist conundrum indeed.
