RANT ON VINYL COLLECTORS & THE VINYL COMMUNITY 

I feel you

Gabi Glass This has happened to me before. It's so annoying

Gabi Glass I feel you girl. Also when people have to question you about the music or merch that you're getting because they don't believe that you actually have good music taste.

>Implying the people at the store actually care about what you buy

Gabi Glass they couldn't give a shit what you are buying or listen too.

Sarah Smiles Fuck 'em! Only posers treat, or try to treat, other people as posers. When it comes to music, get and listen to what you like. Those pinheads don't have any special knowledge.

I love you

Vinyyyylll Rewwwwwiiiind

Vinyl Rewind Love your show bro

'Love your channel'

Just remember to give them a good ol' clean once you get them. Even new vinyl that has never been played before/not opened from its packaging gets a lot of dust and shit from the places that made them and sold them. I totally get your point, though! I bought The Fragile DE and Deviations 1 on vinyl just for the sake of collecting them and supporting Trent & Atticus, but thought to myself, "woah woah woah.. why would I spend so much money on vinyl and not play it? i've always kinda wanted to get into it.. might as well do so now!", so I picked up an AT-LP60 with some powered speakers (Micca PB42x, to be precise.. love them!), the turntable's seller gave me cleaning solution and a brush and such.. and I have been crazy about buying vinyl whenever the chance comes along. I plan on upgrading here to an AT-LP120 or a U-Turn here pretty soon. Maybe even a Technics or something.

cd_rom just wondering, what kind of cleaning solution and brush did the seller give you? and would you highly recommend it?

Fatal_Envy Vinyl... the word is Vinyl. no s at the end. The plural of vinyl is vinyl.

Fatal_Envy but what if the listing was originally set at $20 and was bid up to 200 you can't really blame them

To be fair, if I ran into that Starks Reality record for cheap I'm selling that shit no second thought😂😂

Yes you can, They put it on eBay knowing full well that a lot of people want it and that the price will likely increase. If they were going to be satisfied selling it for 20-30 they would sell it on Discogs.

Thats how the world works. People buy things and resell them for more money. I'm not going to sell something for less because you're broke. You think a record store is any different?

The PIXELrants Show! Such as?

Lower end Audio Tech stuff, some old used Fisher stuff that works well.

Agreed.

I hope you don't mind me asking this, but about how long does it take for the record to be fucked up? And could I buy a needle or something that wouldn't cause this to happen? I have a Crosley player and I don't want my records ruined, but I'm too poor to buy another player

Fairly Løcal Dreamer I couldn't tell you. Check online forums. The records get fucked up because the weight on the cartridge is way too heavy and it literally digs into the grooves into the record, therefore losing Fidelity. If you can't afford any new TT's, I would lean towards vintage equipment, just make sure you do it right. again, check forums, they're great for info.

or Paramore's "Ain't It Fun"

usually "vinyl collectors" don't listen to shit bands like those mentioned

did u kno that jon in fact listens to both paramore + fall out boy and that paramore is his 3rd fav band so... i dont think being a vinyl collector has anything to do with one's personal preference lmfao.

Vinyl&Kicks86 wow you're the POS this video is about.

you're the POS personally insulting me because i think you & others who have similar taste have sh*t taste in music.their is no such thing as "vinyls" if your going to refer to vinyl in the plural form call them records instead of making yourself sound like a complete dumb ass.there is a young generation of vinyl collectors that show a true appreciation for vinyl culture & then their is "vinyls" collectors with their cool crosley's who are disgusting like you!

this is me as well. I also have a couple of Vinyl, of albums that I know i truly love and will never hate or forget, same goes for my CD collection. And If i need any other music that I enjoy but isnt a fanboy of (lets say Rihanna or Phil Collins) I just download it illegally and store it in my digital collection lmao

And can't forget deluxe bundles. I'm a sucker for literally anything that comes with an album

Haha yes! That's so me :D Deluxe bundles are great, I especially love it when albums come with shirts.

Teppichrasen Yes!!

Mate, we all do, don't worry.

Alaina Weirdo or they don't even own a record player

Vinyls? Don't shit on other people for trying to be cultured and trendy when you still say vinyls.

lol this is so true.

vinyls vinyls vinyls vinyls

ＥＤＧＹ

spot on totally agree with you,the light going on for me was hearing pink floyd on CD.

agree.you probably need a thousand dollar set up to get the elusive superiority the hipsters are talking about.i listen to my records on a 1970s console stereo and the sound is far from superior.it plays and im happy.but your right

skipping crackling and popping.. sounds like you enjoyed abusing your records.

david hatred THANK YOU. I'm 21 and over the past few years I've gotten into collecting vinyl, and I honestly feel like the crossley hate is so overblown because my parents also grew up using similar all-in-one players back in the day. So it doesn't make sense to me that so many people assume that the modern equivalent is automatically gonna just chew through records. Some have, but the majority cases I've seen from friends/family/online have not put a single dent in their stuff

I have a somewhat expensive turntable (Lp120), but in case mine breaks, what budged turntables can I get that won't ruin my records?

Kirby Crab You can get a vintage used turntable for cheap.

I see, thank you!

vintage record player have tracking forces that go up to 40 grams

where did you hear that from? the only record players that track at such a high tracking force are phonograph records from the 1920s.

william timonen you are the person he's talking about

+Nick Coble IT’S A JOKE

Hey. Kongos. Nice

*vinyl

well we appreciate the effort what are "vinyls" there is no such thing as "vinyls"?

oh, stfu

I fucking hate that deadmau5 avatar thingy I see everywhere.

James you think that it's DeadMau5?

not really. fantano is a goofball and not a music elitist.

branm25 not sure how lol.

calebxw Im not saying Fantano is, i love him. But his fanbase is FULL of music elitists

you mean people that treat music like art and not sounds to bop your head to. If that's an elitist that I guess i'm an elitist.

tomdotexe that does not make you an elitist. What would make you an elitist would be if you feel "above" over other music listeners because of your taste.

Ambrus Nagy You're right. Jon does tends to say bull shit things. Like when he criticized Imagine Dragons for "not having a niche".

Hey look, it's the person Jon was referring to in this video!

aye we got a great example of some of those people jon mentions in the video

I think I presented my points in a rather reasonable way but don't hold back to call me out on the incorrect or abusive things I might have said. Jon is clearly contradicting himself a lot and I still can't see why you would get offended by people trying to nicely educate you on a thing you're supposed to care about. And now I'm preparing for the 5-10 word impulse reactions with no substance whatsoever. Care to break the cycle?

They don't. And they suck anyways.

xjames118 what else are you going to do with a Burt Bacharach album?

Clacking Computer I'm a cassette collector too!!

Niiice! Glad to see some other fans here :D

i prefer riding a bike with tapes.you can transport them alot easier and they dont scratch and skip when you hit a bump.cargo pockets and a walkman.good to go.belt clips disaster 50% chance

I hope you're not talking to me...I don't say "vinyls"

Troy Wilkey Well, now I'm gonna start saying 'vinyls' just to spite you

Viewbob_ True LOL

>Please stop calling them "vinyls". Thats not a real word. Yes, it is. Just as soon as hipsters started referring to a record as a "vinyl", it became a new sense of the word, and it is a sense which needs a plural form. "Vinyl" when used in the normal sense, i.e., to refer to a type of plastic material, is uncountable, thus it has no plural form. The same goes for any word that's being used to refer to a type of material. For example, there's no such thing as "aluminums". However, when the name of a type of material starts getting used as the name of an object, it becomes countable and needs a plural form. For example, "tin". There's no such thing as "tins" when referring to the element, but when using it to refer to canned food, it needs a plural form: "I have two tins of corn in the cupboard." Another example is "canvas". There is no plural form when referring to the material, but when referring to the thing that artists paint on, there is a plural form. The latest trend among hipsters and people who ride the same bandwagon as them is to point out that "the plural of vinyl is vinyl". They think they're clever and "in the know". They are neither. They're too stupid to realize why the traditional sense of "vinyl" doesn't have a plural, and too stupid to realize that that reason doesn't apply to new senses of the word that people make up.

MaximRecoil I'm certainly not stupid. college educated. You can't just change the rules of proper grammar. Your justification is a stretch, at best. But whatever. Say vinyls. Enjoy yourself. Not gonna argue. I use proper grammar. That is all.

FINALLY I found that one comment

VaderVinyl I hate when people say vinyl. They’re records or LPs.

Vinyls

*V I N Y L S*

I have always said "vinyl records"

Same, lol..... like, cool sticker and all..... but, it need to be torn off😬

Sami Ali People who make enormous amounts of money off of vinyl records. Dumbass kid.

Andrej Jovićević can u shut the fuck up

🙌💯

Blurry Clique nah

+Blurry Clique *vinyl

Beyond ARTV WOW quit being an elitist

Blurry Clique Vinyl man Vinyl. There is no such word as Vinyls.

just don't grow a beard.

Zak Old comment but the best way is to see them live and get a shirt or something. They will only get a few dollars if you buy a 20$ record from them.

Sure, but like I said "and the concept of records are just cool, they have cool big art, come with tons of physical extras" I never said "I AM PURELY BUYING THIS TO SUPPORT THE ARTIST AND NOTHING MORE"

Zak Lots of records don't come with anything extra.

but i'm also more of a practical guy. I have no problem listening to music with spotify and my headphones, I have a great sound that i enjoy. The only reason i bought the records I do have is to add to my Iron Maiden collection, and the others are some that were my moms in the 80's, some metal bands like Stryper, Dokken, stuff like that. I only have those bc I like those bands, and to me they look pretty cool on the shelf

Trent Foster Wouldn't you be giving the artist more money if you go to a concert and buy a T shirt?

Eh that has nothing to do with physical copies of albums.I never said i don't do those things, which I do when i have time and a ton of money to spend on gas AND merch (I live in a tiny town where the nearest venue is a warehouse 2 hours from here and barely any good non-local artists play at it.) My best explaination of why that isn't enough for me is concerts happen but once and Tshirts aren't the same as album art. A lot of artists put effort in their physical releases, way more effort than they put into their shirts. Also my brain works in a way that it's almost obessed with collecting, i can't really explain that.
