My grandma picked me up a couple of Chili Peppers and Rush records for an early Christmas present. Nothing wrong with Unlimited Love but I’ll probably be spinning Californication first lol.

Which Rush albums?
Is it just me or are download cards getting less common? Don’t know the last time I got one, but 5 years ago it felt like nearly every record would have.
Looks lile Rush “Icon”. So the greatest hits. Not bad as I start to get into them, I definetely need to widen my reach
Man, they’re so good. I’m by no means an expert, but I appreciate their output through the Signals album. I don’t have the desire to push past that. Moving Pictures and Fly By Night are two of my faves. Permanent Waves is also awesome, but every album has it’s highlights and thrills.
Can’t believe I havent shared my slipmat here. I pre-ordered it from Aural Pleasures and given up hope until it showed up one day. It’s been my mat ever since. The color doesnt pop on the cork but I’m told cork is a good material for a slipmat? I have no idea but it glows under UV light too!

Gonna show this to my partner every time I run out for audio equipment lol
It was sad to get the official cancellation of the Epicenter Chicago '23 box today. Did anyone pick-up the Levitation version? Probably going to head in that direction (only $170, which seems like a steal) but want to get some notes on how the pressing sounds, quality of packaging, etc. Anyone?
This is GREAT news, even if my credit card is whimpering in response.

Anyone have any good stories about great deals you missed out on? I have a few.
I got a copy of Phish’s Two Soundchecks for my brother. Didn’t get one for myself. I also should have grabbed the Baker’s Dozen box. Get those and I’ll have all the Phish vinyl releases. But alas, I’m going to end up paying out the ass for them at some point.
To a much lesser degree, Boris’ Pink when it was pressed by Southern Lord but really, I can get a good copy of for $100 or less . . . so not too bad.

so good. huge lurie fan here.
What did you think of his memoir?
I’m spinning the last side of Levitation’s Chicago 2023 box today and I gotta say, this whole set of records sounds great. Nearly zero problems with the sound (ok, maybe just a hair quiet overall). The inners have photos of the band and the crowd on both sides, which is a very cool touch.
I’ve been a loud Fuzz Club fan for awhile, but Levitation may have won me over with this one.
Top 5 Gizz songs that all record heads should hate:

Dirt

Static Electricity

Pop in My Step
-
Greenhouse Heat Death
-
Black Hot Soup* (w/ Hot Wax and Melting teases)
