VINYLS forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/learning-to-be-ok-with-the-word-vinyls.1074620I learned today that Boomer SHites get really really really fucking angry when Gen Z's describe their Taylor Swift rekkids with the word VINYLS. The haughty ones then get all shitty about the kids and their cheap Crosley turntables, like they had audiophool equipment when they were a teenager. Leepal (pleasures himself to Michael Fremer Youtubes) Dubmart (switch the order of a couple of letters) Mark Winstanley (who probably thinks about condoms if someone calls their rainboots "rubbers") Halfwit (no, this isn't my name for this poater) rrbbkk (their avatard is literally the phrase "The plural of vinyl is vinyl") Grower of Mushrooms (he was probably the weird dude with growlights in the closet of his college apartment) Eric Tracy (dad of the year) This is only the middle of Page 2 of a thread on 11 pages as I poat...

I’m gonna buy a shirt that says VINYLS one of these days and wear it to record stores and anywhere I can think of that record collectors go do. I’m old enough that if I say I’ve called them that since I was a kid all they can do is suck their balls up into their body and twitch at me. I want a Who the Fuck is Chris Bellman shirt, too.

I'm fashioning a hat made entirely of a Crosley Cruiser that I'm wearing down to 'ol Stinky Petes' on RSD.

Put me down for one of those each.

Someone started a thread about the troubles labels are having in keeping up with demand for vinyl rekkids during the pandemic. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/a-pressing-issue-how-the-vinyl-revival-has-caught-out-the-music-industry-during-the-pandemic.1078542/Nakamichi is having none of it. Stefan (the original poater) immediately strikes back with this (bravo,Stefan!): TheHutt posts this picture of a Beatles comp on colored VINYL being referred to as VINYL. You didn't think Nakamichi was done, did you? Mercuryvenus defends the young'uns: More poats from Nakamichi, I won't bother because it's like listening to a broken VINYL (I mean rekkid). James Glennon (Senior Member) has a contribution Mercuryvenus Last Turkey in the Shop (has this twat gotten his own thread yet?) I'll end it with Stone Turntable dropping the MICHAEL FREMER name into the conversation. I've never listened to Fremer's podcast, but I assume he spends a lot of time patting himself on the back for single-handedly saving the world from CDs and all things digital.

Jeez what hole did Stefan crawl back out of? Or have I just not noticed that dullard for awhile? He spends all his time in that idiotic needle dropping thread with Grant, John Morris and the omnipresent Uncle Jack. You have to take a peek at that thread, it is amazing. They get Every. Single. Technical. Aspect. Wrong. And then they share their stupidity with others, who thank them for their professional tips. I happened to click on it by accident, and couldn’t take my eyes away from the sheer stupidity. Like when Grant says he works on some of his “drops” for up to 3 weeks. That’s right, 3 weeks spent removing noise that is inherent to the medium itself, to create a file that no one will ever hear. Unless, of course, he plays it for those young girls who in turn are so impressed they give him their number.

And someone should invite Nakamichi to that needle dropping thread. He can show them that the only way to transfer your VINYLZ is with a tape deck.

I don't needle drop digitize records that often, but when I do, I do it quick and easy - roughly the same way one would dub to a cassette.
And only if I can't find it on soulseek first.
That thread will give you a headache.

Segasonic91 is another SHite that will get very angry if you say a certain word.
Here he is, responding to someone talking about how young people get excited about downloading/streaming Taylor Swift the moment it is released.
Just me, but I find a teenager liking Taylor Swift a lot less embarrassing that some dude in his 40s gushing about an old story about waiting all night to buy Bon Jovi tickets. "Waiting for tickets in the mail", LOL. The last several tickets for shows I attended were just on my phone. I assume Segasonic91 would not approve; nothing to put in a scrapbook for my next of kin to throw away.
In another one of his poats, he at first is very pissed off that people just buying MP3 singles of their favorite songs killed albums (and reprises his rant about waiting to download something) but then edits his poat to snipe at people who are buying albums on vinyl, because they are "hipsters" buying colored and splattered garbage.
Maybe one to keep an eye on to see if he earns his own thread.

Oh how I long for the day of getting up at 6 AM, getting crapped on by a seagull, taking the bus/subway all the way downtown, lining up with a bunch of other pinheads for 4 hours, racing up the escalator and almost killing myself, then being pressed up against the previously mentioned pinheads to fight over Cheap Trick tickets. Why on earth would I just want to press a few buttons?

The colored vinyl of my youth was prettier than the colored vinyl of today is peak SHiTE. I like this guy's poats. He writes the craziest nonsense, but writes it in a way that makes it clear he thinks he's the mature adult in the room.
