Vinyl bars are so in right now. The latest? Oasis: The Listening Bar, a Japanese-inspired record bar serving over-the-top sushi and sake flights in Clarendon

That Clutch LP reissue was $57.99. It did have a signed print… I did get $10 off from a frequent buyer card. Still…

Part of the fun for me buying vinyl was always how inexpensive it was 1990s -2010s. You could get a box of records for $20. Just buy shit and sample it. Now it’s almost all available for free to stream. Back then Diggin’ for records was part of the fun. There were few reissues coming out then so used records was your only option. Discovering new shit. And if the record was kinda banged up who cares as it was 50 cents. Might play it once and never again. Might never even play it. Of course trying to collect your favorites was part of it too.

Going to a record bar and eating sushi is sort of the polar opposite of that… but I get it, particularly for Japan, where space is at such a premium. And with jazz bars where you can listen to records that are prohibitively expensive.

These days am going through boxes of records and I can’t believe some of the crap I bought and the condition but when records could be had for 10 cents….selling some and donating some to goodwill.

This is great, a Dutch band, The Shoutouts gave you a silicone mold that you make  ice in and then play that on your turntable

Would definitely address the low supply of vinyl pucks

To be honest, that sounds kind of like a disaster on your turntable, but still a cool concept. (Pun intended)

Husker Du

1985: The Miracle Year is a 4xLP box set
 that includes includes the entirety of this First Ave gig as well as an astonishing 20 additional tracks from that same year. The band were recording these 1985 concerts with an eye toward a potential live album that (for whatever reason) never materialized. Ironically, this distinguishes the material heard on The Miracle Year as some of the most "hi-fi" music released from their SST period. With this box set, we finally get Mould, Hart and Norton on stage at their absolute peak and presented with a clarity and balance absent from most of their studio recordings.

European record sellers on discogs seem to have stopped sales to the US en masse over tariffs!!!!!

[Justin Tonation]

European record sellers on discogs seem to have stopped sales to the US en masse over tariffs!!!!!

For now, at least until the air is cleared. Supposedly, audio recordings count as "informational materials" and are therefore exempt from tariffs. The relevant part of the law is:

(3)the importation from any country, or the exportation to any country, whether commercial or otherwise, regardless of format or medium of transmission, of any information or informational materials, including but not limited to, publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, microfilms, microfiche, tapes, compact disks, CD ROMs, artworks, and news wire feeds. The exports exempted from regulation or prohibition by this paragraph do not include those which are otherwise controlled for export under section 4604 [3] of this title, or under section 4605 [3] of this title to the extent that such controls promote the nonproliferation or antiterrorism policies of the United States, or with respect to which acts are prohibited by chapter 37 of title 18;

Of course, it may take a while for this to reach overseas sellers. I think things will get back to normal, whatever that is, by October.
