I got all of mine for under 5 bucks.

Well, H.A., ahem... If you want to get rid of those nasty SubPop things...

i've always seen them for 5-plus bucks. 5 bucks for a 7" is a lot.

HaydenAsche · 10.12.2006, 04:16 PM

You could purchase them off of me for a really steep price.

UNDER 5 bucks. Most of them were 3 bucks or so.

I'm a 7 inch junky.

Everyneurotic · 10.12.2006, 04:17 PM

every time i've seen them it's more than 5, whatever.

HaydenAsche · 10.12.2006, 04:19 PM

It's because I won.

Well, I don't know about steep. Maybe moderately steep. What're your asking prices, and what ya got?

The ones I have are mostly from the old SubPop Singles Club mailings. I have Poster Children, a split Fluid/Nirvana, a great pink vinyl Smashing Pumpkins, and one or two others.

I have the Fluid/Nirvana split too. Most of my stuff is still in boxes from moving. I'll have to dig it all out.

Yeah, I bought this album a few years ago. Has a few memorable songs on it, but the overall content of the cd doesn't, and never did, draw me into it.

Norma J · 10.13.2006, 02:35 AM

It's only money. I buy alot of used vinyl and cds. I don't mind the gamble or the surprise.

Then your record buying habits are entirely wrong. 'Knowing your taste' tells me you buy exclusively shit records. Go outside, now, and buy a proper pop album with three good singles and a load of filler. It's the only way you'll learn.

therealglenstyler · 10.13.2006, 08:38 AM

forever changes is the one for me too, I keep giving it a go and it always bores me after track one. and dj krush kakusei is dull as shit too.

HaydenAsche · 10.13.2006, 08:43 AM

The new Beck. I knew it was gonna suck but somewhere, deep inside of me, is a love for his musicianship. I'm pissed it sucked that bad.

I have to say, that's sort of my philosophy, too. I think record buying is much more interesting that way (although generally these days I know what I'm getting into--and sorry, I don't like downloading stuff). So I guess I have to just realize that taking that kind of risk means sometimes ending up with stuff I don't love.

HaydenAsche · 10.13.2006, 08:49 AM

I usually have people upload something I'm interested in for me. If I don't like it I delete it from my harddrive. If I do, I order the record.

gmku · 10.13.2006, 09:18 AM

Of course, not so many years ago, one could not upload or even hear samples of songs from an album, unless one could convince the record store owner to let you listen before buying (very rare), heard an album in its entirety on the radio (yeah, right), or borrowed records from friends (this is assuming your friends have good records, likelihood of which is thrown into doubt when they too have to rely on the record store and radio).

So, many of my LPs were bought based on reviews, word of mouth, hearing one song, or out of curiosity. That said, I think it's a wonder that most (80 percent) of my collection is actually very decent. It's a wonder, too, that I bought such gems as Horses, Modern Lovers, Ramones, Marquee Moon, Blank Generation, etc., when they first came out, because in most cases I was buying them purely on instinct, liking how they looked or what I remembered hearing about them.
