  1. Same here. Looking forward to it. Not sure whether to consider unloading my ICP vinyl or not, guess it depends how the set comes together and if it's as high quality as they say (and I hope).
  2. Promo copy indistinguishable from the regular run. All discs are near-new and little played (some probably not at all), box is fine with very minor scuffing to the bottom edge. The catch: booklet is pretty hammered, as I left it out and something (probably a latte) was spilled next to it. This was most likely my ex-girlfriend's fault a couple years ago. Worse in the back along the leading edge and back cover than elsewhere, although page three has some staining. The front page of the book has some gouges in it. All text legible and honestly, the essay isn't that great anyway though the session photos are pretty cool. I do not know if Mosaic sells a new booklet for this, so it might be worth asking before you commit. Making it sound worse than it probably is, but since it's a collectible item (or will be), I'm mentioning it. I'm asking $70, or about half the new price from the Mosaic website. Shipping to continental US with delivery confirmation included. Paypal only please. I'll ship it this Saturday or AFTER I get back from a weeklong trip the following Saturday.
  3. Yay! We may someday be able to have halfway-decent health care, maybe!

  4. Thanks! Yeah, pulling a fair amount of chaff that may not be coming with me, esp. in the rock and classical realm. Wish I'd done a smarter CD cull a couple of months ago, but I think it's too late for the o-board to help me now!
  5. So moving to NYC is sort of like trying to get citizenship in another country, right?

  6. Thanks, Rod, I know exactly what you mean. We'll see what ultimately shakes out.
  7. Thanks Peter J! Yeah, Chuck, once I box 'em I may just want to send 'em somewhere for cold storage!
  8. Hey Pete, no those areas I've not ruled out - the apartment search is already freaking me out. Around Prospect Park would be great if we can afford it.
  9. Lemme crowdsource this one: has anyone ever used Zillow successfully as an apartment-finder?

  10. Nice... yeah, mine was a bit more than that, but I got it sealed.
  11. Yeah, trying to pull out some that I haven't spun in ages...
  12. Just saw this today, belatedly, though I guess my hole of moving truck-itis takes 1st place for the summer. ANYway, thanks for keeping this place goin'! Will try to pay attention long enough to send some scratch in next time.

  16. So coming out of the closet on this - next week my girl and I are heading up to NYC to look for an apartment in the BK. We've got a few areas tentatively mapped out, and it'd be great to see some of you in the prelim stages. Also, any leads on Crown Heights/Kensington/affordable GP digs are most welcome. We are looking to be driving the u-haul out at the beginning of August.

  17. Wouldn't mind having those LPs either. I have "Invitation" but that's a somewhat different bag.
  18. Yeah, it's going to be "redonks" as the kids say, but we're looking forward to it. Lon, we should get a beer before I split!
  19. Thanks Rod! Yeah, sure Pete, that'd be great. We'll be in town next week to settle on an apt. Looking in Crown Heights and Kensington for sure, maybe parts of Greenpoint if there's still anything affordable there. I'm a little leery of Bed-Stuy and Bushwick though I suppose like anywhere else, there are good blocks and bad ones.
  20. Haha, it'll be interesting for sure. Thanks guys. So spine up, you say? For stacking purposes I presume? Also, I've amassed a bunch of UHaul boxes. Container store boxes are preferable?
  21. Hey all, So in August I'm moving from Austin to Brooklyn. It's been a while since I've moved a record collection, and the last time I had to was not in summer heat. I'm a little leery of boxing 'em up and putting them in a U-Haul truck that's not temp-controlled, but I've been told not to worry, that if they're packed tight enough, no heat damage will occur over the few days' drive. FWIW, it's about 3000 LPs, which is what I'd call a medium sized collection but too big to fit in an air-conditioned panel van. Thoughts on how to do this safely and securely? Thanks.
  22. Cheap ECM vinyl bonanza at End of an Ear yesterday, all minty. I left some for a few of the fellow hounds, however.

  23. Nice one! Now: Haazz & Co. (aka Kees Hazevoet) - Unlawful Noise - (KGB)
