Title: I am now officially a hipster: I bought a bunch of vinyls
Post by: Himu on May 17, 2010, 01:14:56 AM
With my car all fixed up I headed to my fabled store of yore: Half Priced Books to check out some new books. I ended up taking a bunch of Queen vinyls for cheap.

Got Sheer Heart Attack, Night at the Opera, The Works, A Day at the Races, and News of the World. All of them pretty cheap. I scored a pretty solid print of Night at the Opera in good condition. Cost me 3-5 an album. Half Priced Books is the best store EVER.

And lemme tell you, I want more records. Unfolding a huge vinyl jacket with beautiful, beautiful art is AWESOME. News of the World's jacket is really rad and its image is completely lost on the digital and cd versions.

Observe:

And the outside part of the jacket has Queen being killed by the robot. IT ROCKS.

williamsburg is nearly 3000 square miles.  it would be impressive for all of it to smell like urine.

bedford between 4th and 8th will sometimes smell like urine and vomit on weekends due to people coming to "cool brooklyn" which i guess means that they're on mental vacation and think that it's perfectly ok to act like complete fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

the worst smell in the city i've experienced so far is trash day in the summer in the financial district.  all those tiny streets cooking bags of trash in the hot hot summer sidewalks.

You can't be a real hipster until you have 1000s of records from one particular music genre that no one knows exists.  My buddy has over 1000 records of semi-gay to really gay house music from the mid-to late 80s (in addition to about the best record collection I have ever seen).

:lol Sounds like the best collection ever :bow2

like 2004 is when i started to notice art kids coming back to house, i think the late 90s early 00s "rave scene" scared them away, but with electroclash becoming popular in that time period, i think it started to bring them back to the house sound. 

plus now there's the Finger on the Pulse DJs and they're hella hipster and have been going for a while

No way, dude.  I figure if I'm listening to something that I need to roll up my window and be embarrassed about, then I shouldn't be listening to it.  I blast Michael Jackson at least 2 out of 5 commutes a week all city stop and go driving, no highway, windows down, 1600 watt sound system up.  I've done it with Dido too!

Michael Jackson is cool though, with Vocal Trance you've got these awesome female vocals and and dreamy flow but on the flip this awesome female vocalist is singing about how her love is like a sunrise after a cold misty mornin'.

Not in Houston he's not!

You either have...

Old white people who think he's satan coming to molest their kids
Ghetto beaners who think you're gay because you're not listening to the latest lil wayne or daddy yankee song
Any black folk who think you're riding the MJ bandwagon since his death
