my last belt lasted about 8 years. longer than I should've kept it on the table, but it held on. the cart on your table should be fine for 5,000+ hours. carts are made so well nowadays that even base models last forever. You'd only ever want to replace it if it was visibly damaged or the signal was being distorted in the chain. Otherwise replacing it is purely for upgrading/funsies.
I just got my Mondo in and I will say it's a great pressing, but I'm still jealous that I couldn't pick up the Grey Fox edition.that's a nice cover and vinyl color, but I think I'll stick with my Grey Fox edition
I don't know about 5000+ hours. The most I've seen a manufacturer claim is 3000 hours, I think. Most are around 1000. And there's evidence to suggest that the life of a stylus maybe lower than that:
dang thats super tempting, but at $40 plus shipping, gotta pass.
Thanks for the heads up! Definitely need this, Flaming Lips is a nice bonus as well.
VMP has a bop coming in November. They're only offering 3-month plans now for new members, but month to month works for us old timers. Get in before they sell out (which has happened in the past with reissues of theirs (gorillaz, fiona apple, method man) or just wait for the other versions that will be coming out).
Fucking. Awesome. I've been looking into buying back a copy of the original press that I sold back in the day as well. I may stick with this. Hopefully they don't give me any reason to still hold out for an original like they did with Demon Days (the lack of smooth transitions between tracks on their repress kind of ruins the release for me).

Woah what's the story here? That seems like a pretty big oversight?
The transitions between "Dirty Harry" and "Feel Good Inc." and, more egregiously, between "Fire Coming Out of The Monkey's Head", "Don't Get Lost in Heaven", and "Demon Days" were not included, because they weren't on the original masters. They were just effects added when they did the vinyl version (Someone please correct me if I have anything wrong, there.) So now, instead of a seamless transition between songs, you have a gap of silence between each of them. The first instance isn't the end of the world but it really fucks up the end of the record in my opinion.
That's really disappointing, especially when they talk so much about their attention to detail in making these pressings. Maybe I'll get their Desert Sessions record instead.
Looks easy, I tested with Flaming Lips just to see how it works. There's quite a large selection to choose from, I think every past record of the month that isn't out of stock. If you have a look through the store you should be able to see what's available.
In the warehouse that's storing the readily available copies of the Cowboy Bebop OST, complete Samurai Champloo OST and Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
I'm definitely interested in that Rated R release. Especially if they've been remastered, but I haven't seen any info on that front. I've only got a bootleg at the moment so anything official with better sound I'm all in on.
Yeah, they've done the cocktail recipes since the beginning.
The thing that amazes me is it hardly costs any more than just buying from a store. I do wish they had more of a rock/metal selection but, as you said, the plus side is I'll give a chance to stuff I otherwise wouldn't have listened to.
WARP is releasing a 10 x 12''' boxset of some of the WXAXRXP sessions. Preorder here @ $150
Disappointed it isn't a boxset of some of the original material played during those sets. I'd pay good money for recordings of the Kelela, Death Grips, Autechre, BoC, and Hudson Mohawke sets.
SoHo NYC? Which store?I went to a bookstore in SoHo today and saw this and figured I should pick it up. Soundtrack to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Looks like it's from a collection of 4. May try to track them down. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet tho.

It's called the Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe. Seems like a really nice place.
Had to order this after listening to the vinyl re-release of Emperor Tomato Ketchup earlier.
The reissues of Transient Random Noise Bursts and Mars Audiac Quintet rule too. Love Stereolab.
I would jump on these sooner rather than later, if you want them. They never stay up for as long as he says they're going to. That's how you wind up with $1000 copies of Blonde.
