seriously, tho, this design aesthetic is much worse than teal+orange

isn't it just some standard template? like a default in webstorebuildr or whatever?
― sarahell, Thursday, 9 July 2015 07:08 (eight years ago) link
yeah, but it's like ye old templates with added moustaches
― brimstead, Thursday, 9 July 2015 07:14 (eight years ago) link
i'm having a hard time articulating my feeling towards this style/standard template.
― brimstead, Thursday, 9 July 2015 07:30 (eight years ago) link
i just associate it with the trend of san serif fonts in food packaging -- so neutral i just tune out any aesthetic quality it seeks to convey
― sarahell, Thursday, 9 July 2015 08:37 (eight years ago) link
keep going, you're almost there. this is important.

Justin Vernon is totally a shady scam or other silly business idea to take advantage of earnest new vinyl collectors.

They would have totally done the whole "Brothas" thing too, most likely.

Feel like they just sold their banjo and mandolin, want to get back into some real rock like Springsteen and Billy Joel

I posted a month ago about a dispute with this seller on Discogs who sent me the wrong record and then has refused to deal with me (e.g. he said "I have someone who handles discogs for me - email them" but then won't give me that person's email address).
I've opened up a PayPal dispute but they give the seller ages to respond and it hasn't happened yet.
So I just had a (maybe stupid) question about Discogs feedback: If I give him Poor feedback, can't he also just respond with Poor feedback? I have a perfect record and don't want to tarnish it because he's been a dick, you know?
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Monday, 27 July 2015 14:42 (eight years ago) link
He can, but you can then ask Discogs to remove it if you can prove the seller is acting poorly.
Paypal disputes have two stages, you need to manually move it on to a claim if they don't respond after a week or so.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 28 July 2015 13:30 (eight years ago) link
Ah, thanks. Yeah, the second stage of the PayPal dispute doesn't kick in for a month it looks like. I've put it in the calendar. It's all such a hassle for $20 but it's the friggin' principle of the thing!!
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Tuesday, 28 July 2015 15:15 (eight years ago) link
Sorry, you can no longer leave feedback on this order because it is older than 90 days.
Argh
So yeah, it was Mike Simonetti.
Don't buy from him. Totally ripped me off.
Feedback: You are a creep.
― Your Ribs are My Ladder, Tuesday, 28 July 2015 17:16 (eight years ago) link
if i remember, you are not alone with this type of groove, as there was stuff like this mentioned on an old IDIB thread.
shame, as he seemed pretty cool when i had said hello and ordered some IDIB stuff.

this is my kinda truth in advertising. from a Discogs record listing:
Record and sleeve have seen some parties and some fights! Oi! You've been warned, rocknroller! NO INSERT! SLEEVE IS COMIN' APART! POPS AND SCRATCHES! If you play it at 45 you can barely hear them

Dig a little and you find it's not a real record store, but astroturf e-commerce for the Warner Music Group.

there was 'gold' cds for a time iirc
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 15:07 (eight years ago) link
Indeed there were, and I think there still are. Most of them were made by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab(s?), purveyors of the half-speed master LPs popular with audiophiles in the 70s and early 80s. I remember those gold CDs cost around $30 (which was INSANE in the late 80s), and Sony soon started peddling their own gold MasterSound series. I assumed those gold dealies were all audiophile snake oil, but apparently some audiophiles swear by them.

tbf some audiophiles will swear that special cables can rutn dirty electrons into clean ones to improve signal flow or some shit
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 15:27 (eight years ago) link
i took the bait once and bought a gold cd by the jam and it sounded like shit.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 29 July 2015 15:33 (eight years ago) link
amazing fidelity then i guess?
― feargal czukay (NickB), Wednesday, 29 July 2015 15:34 (eight years ago) link
i am happy that someone took advantage of that awesome set-up for a punch line.

a friend's dad had some gold Pink Floyd CDs that impressed us because we were ignorant children audiophiles
