/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

What the fuck is exactly is going on in this picture?

>>50347869
Someone playing a heart-shaped record on a shitty turntable.

Jesus christ how horrifying

>>50347845
what the Fuck

>>50347886
>heart-shaped record
See that's the part I'm not getting

dawg what in the fuck

>>50347903
An artist gets their record pressed into a novelty shape.
What's difficult to understand?

Thought somebody cut an originally circular record into a heart. This isn't that bad, especially for a crosley photo

Now dumping my collection, I hope others will do the same.

>>50347903
It's a record, shaped like a heart. What's to get?

>>50347903
It's like a 7" with extra parts that don't have music on it.

>>50347936
but how will it play when it rotates the bottom part will get caught

>>50347940
>that slant
What

>>50347903
records can be different shapes.

joyful noise recordings did a whole series of square flexi-disc singles, it's pretty cool

>>50347950
I'd assume that the bottom of the heart is no longer in distance from the center than a normal LP so it wouldn't get caught.

>>50347950
How will the bottom part get caught? I'm sure it's no bigger than 12"

AND NOW IN VIDEO FORM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5haFnmvCIzE

>>50347950
Nah. It might get close, but it won't hit it. Neon Trees wouldn't release a record that would mess up on a Crosley since most of their market are the sort of people who would buy a Crosley.

>>50347966
>PBR
This is almost too perfect.

>>50347932

Is it possible to play that thing? Your thread sucks OP

a nice flat surface

>>50347966
Get your fuckin' PBR away from your fuckin' Crosley you piece of shit what in the fuck.

>>50348000

>the worst happening
it's already happened

alternatively, who cares?

>>50348127
>(x amount of pressure exerted by shitty) Crosley needle)(x amount of added pressure due to the nickel)
I give the record a solid six more additional plays and it's done.

>>50347940
Words cannot describe the horror this induces.

>>50348000
that was actually a really cool video

>>50348201
the mustache just adds to the cringe

>>50348000
what an artist

the ultimate decision

Does anyone have that Mackelmore fan video? There was that faggot that got The Heist and played it on a really shitty player and scratched it up. His name was Gage and he even got the Mackelmore haircut.

Why the fuck are these Crosly turntables popular? I understand it's because of the novelty behind it of having a (somewhat) "portable" turntable, but why the fuck in all hell would you want a portable turntable? Are you really traveling that much and that frequently that you need a turntable with you at all time?

>>50348264
you have to keep in mind when they were invented the ipod didnt exist.

>>50348264
It's tumlbr bro. They do it because it's retro and makes them a special snowflake.

>>50347845
It looks like the point of the heart is going to collide with the bit that the arm is attached to

>>50348263
yeah i remember this shit. Haven't seen it in a long time

>>50348264
Novelty is the entire raison d'être for Crosley shits m8. Also because it's the only iPod-for-vinyls at Target.

>>50348317
classic tier

>>50348264
People buy them mainly because they think they look retro. Hence all the photos of them on Tumblr and Instagram. They just want a turntable that looks "cool".
Plus they cost near to nothing compared to an actual good turntable bought new.

>>50348339
Yeah, he pulled the video. I was just hoping somebody saved it since I wasn't stupid enough not to.

>>50348264
They're popular because they're one of the few turntables you can still find in a physical store, they come in stylish colors and they cost under $150.

>>50348370
What the fuck

WHY?

>>50348000
that was fucking cool

>>50347845
Here's a discount code for anyone looking to buy an audio-technica AT-LP1240 turntable

So do tumblr people buy a crosley just because it's portable and relatively cheap?

>>50348458
That and it makes for pretty pictures on their Tumblr.

>>50348458
no they buy it because other tumblr users buy it

>>50348458
They buy it because it's cheap and looks vintage. They really only buy vinyl for appearances so that they can show their friends how hip and retro they are and then post pictures showing how hip and retro they are.

I don't have anything against One Direction but stuff like this makes me think the vinyl bubble is about to pop.

I can't wait until it does and vinyl is cheap again.

>>50348506

>>50348526

The sales of vinyl has been climbing quite substantially over the last 8 years.

>>50348566

>>50348370
is that a first press white album?
well in the 60's and 70's people played their records in cheap turntables with worn needles and they where happy, so if you are not a serious collector you shouldn't be a faggot when it comes to record players and all that shit

>>50349565
>Some places, even major cities, don't even have hi-fi audio shops anymore

This is incorrect

>>50349565
Quite a few places in my city still stock TT's and such, even local record stores stock vintage players that they refurbish and put new cart's on.

>>50348101
oh my god.

Two of the most essential things to look for in a turntable are:
>an adjustable counterweight on the end of the tonearm
>cartridge can be swapped out
Without a counterweight the full force of the tonearm is being pushed on the record which wears out the grooves very quickly. Built in cartridges that can't be swapped out sound like shit. This is why all in one units are so fucking terrible.

The cheapest brand new turntables that are good are the Orbit Basic and the Audio-Technica AT-LP120. The Orbit Basic costs $179, the AT-LP120 costs around $200-$250. If you want a brand new turntable then don't buy anything cheaper than the Orbit Basic, every new turntable that's cheaper than it is fucking terrible.

If you can't afford either turntable then either save up or get a used turntable. Finding a cheap used turntable that's good is pretty easy, you just gotta know what to look for to avoid buying a dud. Check out the pic >>50349968 posted, it has some essential tips.

Really? Shit, I don't have those. I guess I'll go get them from her tumblr archive.

I was at the local record shop today and some guy was getting rid of his Crosley and buying a good setup from the people there. The lady working there was saying they have people come in all the time like, "DO YOU ALL SELL THEM CROSLEYS"

They have a distinct look that isn't bad coming in a wide variety of aesthetic styles and colours. From a purely looks perspective they're not bad so it makes sense why teenagers would buy them and post shitty iPhone pictures on their Tumblr. They're also just more affordable and easier to find, the biggest record store in my area pretty much only sells Crosley turntables (They have like one of the cheaper Audio-Technica ones but that's it).

Crosleys are like what, 100 bucks? I got a Technics SL-1700 for like 50, 90 after I got a new needle for it.

I guess that's not new but I mean if you have more than two brain cells there's really no point

>>50347940
I'm not from here. Can someone tell me what's wrong with this? Is Daft Punk too mainstream for you guys?

So what's exactly wrong with Crosley? Is it like Apple for turntables?

>>50353841
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WaToG78j5g
No Apple products work (different debate! I am a mac user CRUCIFY ME!) Crosleys don't do shit

>>50348506
I have the same taste as this pleb.
I am going to kill myself.

>>50353841
Worse though Apple products actually work, Crosley products are bought by people who know nothing about what they are actually doing and do it so they can take pictures and show them off on tumblr

>>50353841
Pretty much >>50353878. A Mac can do everything a Windows can, it's just that it costs far too much and takes far too long. Crosleys are just piles of shit all around. Poor sound quality, cheap, low customization options (from when I had one I seem to remember I couldn't even replace the headshell???), and they in fact damage your records the longer you use them. The only real argument they have is design and even then they suck pretty hard. They're designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, those who aren't educated enough to buy something better.
>>50353892
>being upset that you enjoy the same things as somebody else

please do

>>50353841
They don't have counterweights so they wear down your records over time.

If you're going to buy records you might as well buy a decent turntable.

>>50348124
one time my cat jumped up on my record player. It was a mighty jump too, and when I wasn't looking. When I turned back, his fat-fuck ass was just lying on the goddamn record.

>>50355265
Let's think, were there any active tripfags that stopped posting right after that faggot confessed?

>>50348506
Well if it's cheap then what's so bad about it?! Looking at the prices for their cheapest stuff, I can see why people would buy it. Not everyone can afford the finest shit - at least not until due time.

I'm in need of a new record player myself. I'll probably just press into the record with a nail and spin it on a dreidel until I can get the money to buy a new player.

>>50347966

>>50355433
>Well if it's cheap then what's so bad about it?!
Tonearm doesn't have a counterweight so the full weight of it is pushed down on the records which wears out the grooves very quickly. Cartridge is really fucking terrible and built in so it can't be swapped out for a better one. Speakers sound like shit and are built in so you can't hook up better ones.

Everything about Crosley is cheap and shitty. The worst part is they kill records. So, if you listen to your records regularly by the time you upgrade to a proper turntable the damage has already been done. You're better off saving up your money and getting a decent turntable instead of a Crosley or any all in one unit.

I just read the second part of your post where you made it obvious you're joking. Fuck it, I already typed out all of this shit, might as well post it anyway to educate people lurking this thread that don't know why Crosleys are fucking garbage.

>>50355355
I'll killa ya'!

>>50355525
The first part wasn't joking. I don't know anything about records. I don't know anything about anything. The only thing which I know is that I know nothing but the fact that I know that I know noting.

Your advice is highly valuable and respected. Remember: First line's serious, second line's a joke.

What is it?

>>50352804
Nigga you need to listen to Queen II, A Night at the Opera and News of the World

>>50355605
If there were no damage out of using bad turntables it would be ok to buy a shitty one now and then upgrade. But since Crosleys fucks up your records, you are probably going to economize by just buying the ok turntable.

>>50353455
No it's not.

>>50355935

What the actual fuck was that

>>50359308
Better than Lana Del Rey or Arctic Monkeys.

>>50359379
better, sure, but not by much

>>50348000

This was fucking great

>>50348865
to be honest, if i knew an attractive girl that liked Loveless i'd probably fall in love

>>50352183
nah he's still cool but he is also a goofball hunks so grils on tumble love him

>starting a vinyl collection

>>50348652
I just can't wait until mini-disks get their turn in the sun

>>50352135

>>50348000
This shit is like a frankenstein turntable

>>50349178
Great albums on a Crosley just ain't funny, man.

>>50348008
fuck i love pbr tho

>>50348201
why did the mustache have to become a meme

>>50358929
this is actually terrifying

/mu/ doesn't actually care about vinyl damage though, they just want to feel better than tumblr fags.

>>50348988
i haven't watched this video in years holy shit classic

I framed my autographed copy of Bob Seger's "Night Moves." Go fuck yourself, cunt.

so uh can anyone recommend a good turntable because i'm deathly afraid of getting made fun of and getting it all wrong after this thread

>tfw you collect records but don't own a record player

I just like looking at them

>>50363425
AT-LP120-USB is the cheapest good-quality turntable you'll be able to find. It's what I have, couldn't be happier

>>50358929
I have never cringed so hard in my life.

Now I'm scared as fuck to come home and see this happen to me

>>50363425
Technics SL-1200

>>50348652
I can't wait until MP3 becomes uncool, then cool again. Everyone will be listening to their shitty CDs, 8-tracks, cassettes, 4-track reel to reel, and records while I'm stuntin on these niggas with my iPhone.

>>50348101
It's so obvious she hasn't listened to any of these albums in full. Why does this make me so mad.

>>50363468
I only collect releases of limited pressings, mostly. I still plan on getting a turntable p soon, though.

>>50360786
lol this

>>50360786
>being poor

>>50348000
Am I patrician if I enjoy this?

>>50359464
my ex did. we even saw mbv live together. goddamn i miss her :^)

>>50348000
HOLY SHIT
Also trips

>this thread still lives
good afternoon guys

>>50348000
damn.
patrician as fuck

>>50348865
Loveless is pretty fucking good taste compared to everything else in this thread.

>tfw I wish i knew a girl who liked loveless

>>50348101
God, it makes me mad how she said she "loves" Radiohead when she clearly just picked up The Bends to say she liked High and Dry.

>>50364256
Well I guess it has a counterweight now :^)

>>50347845
Holy shit, the grooves aren't even centered in the heart

>>50348628
Disappointed that this wasn't THE James Murphy

>>50352846
>everybody do the dinosaur

>>50361816
>>50363617
Actually, the person who made that shelf put it together wrong. The long pieces are supposed to go horizontally, not vertically. The way they built it, all the weight was on the pegs between boards so they eventually all snapped.

>>50364445
>do

>>50347845
I thought it was The Gerogerigegege - Live at Tokyo Gay Center first.

>>50364419
I wouldn't be surprised if whoever took that goes on /mu/.

>>50348101
>all that pleb shit
>picks radiohead along the way

she /mu/core now

>>50348988
>budokai tenchi

>>50364194
Of course, that's like Musique concrète revival, obscure shit.

>>50364489
idk about the bigger ones but the instructions for my 2x2 Expedit said to put it together like that, with the long piece vertically and the shelves supported by dowels. but I put it together the other way cos I thought it would be stronger

>>50348988
>there are people on /mu/ who haven't at least watched everything on the lilbpack1 channel and listened to all official Lil B mixtapes
disgusting

>>50363617
If they'd turned the stand on its side this wouldn't've happened.

>>50348000
This has been around since the 70s, why is everybody freaking out over this video?

>>50348988
Of course Lil B has tons of wrestling and Dragonball games. Makes too much sense

>>50364419
Only problem I see with this is the dust lid being open. It's not the best record player but at least it won't eat their vinyl/have built in speakers like a crosely.

>>50348101
>picks up the bends
>doesn't know what the bends is called
>just says she loves high and dry is good
oh my god

Got picrelated as a present, just want to know if I'll damage my records after playing them for several times or not.

I'm not an audiofile, it's absolutely okay for me to listen to music on my laptop, but, yes, built-in speakers are shit, will the sound change if I buy good speakers?

Maybe, some general advice on playing/buying records, I'm absolutely new to it. Records in my country cost 15-50 bucks, will it be cheaper to buy them on ebay or whatever?

>>50364704
There's no counterweight so yeah, it'll eat the vinyl.

>>50364840
No counterweight, it'll wear out your records quicker.
I used an all-in-one set-up for a year before I got my first proper turntable. So long as it's temporary and you're not playing something really, really often then it should be OK.

>>50364840
Yeah dude, i would advise against giving your records too many spins on that thing, at least until you get enough money to upgrade

>>50347940
>#the bass sounds SO GOOD
>mfw

>>50364419
Meh, it's a shitty taylor swift record.

>>50365046
maybe changing the needle will help?

>>50365110
please no

Can anyone recommend a cheap entry-level vinyl player that won't damage records, as Crosley is clearly shit?

>>50365174
AT LP120 is the go-to budget table that is considered good quality. I went the AT LP60 route just to test the waters and see if id like the hobby. Id vouch for AT products, even though I went for a Project Debut Carbon as my invested player.

whatever you do try to get, MAKE SURE IT HAS A COUNTER WEIGHT
