Yeah, I’m with aaa on this one. Besides, the Boris brigade don’t give a hoot for new music and anytime I’ve been buying vinyl in shops it’s always been a decent cross-section of people who are more or less nerds like me. But it’s low on my list of stuff to worry about recently. Same here. After having to watch a bunch of clueless, nationalist, Boomer cunts singing the wrong words to Land of Hope and Glory and running round the pub pretending to be aeroplanes to the theme from The Dambusters in my local at 11pm on the 31st, I'm not too worried about Bernie Grundmans. We're now becoming just another cheek on America's increasingly spotty arse.

Same here. The UK is not a nice place to be at the moment and it’s going to get worse over the coming years. Brazen lying Tory cunts. And Farage. Rant over.

I'm as big of a vinyl nerd as you can get, also a boomer.
For me, this "crisis" doesn't even make my Top 100 Problems We Face Today list.
Besides, the best mastering labs have DMM capability - so, fuck lacquer.

That 56GoldTop post has to be a joke. No one is that earnest AND that deluded.

Let’s make it more entertaining. That hotel room needs to be made airtight and slowly filled to the ceiling with backed-up sewage. If that’s unrealistic, then maybe venomous snakes and/or scorpions can be released right before the door is locked from the outside. Any other ideas?

A better idea.

Hey, that’s fighting talk. I love vinyl (and streaming) and already want to emigrate because of the Little Englanders and Conservative Cunts that, like the Trumptard American nation, are seemingly embracing facism cluelessly. I don’t see myself as being just 0.1 of the vinyl buying population that aren’t Brexiteers. Also, this only affects the vinyl production of new music/releases so the Beatle loving Brexiteers won’t be affected as they most likely just buy used vinyl as they gather en mass, unwashed, stinking of cigarette smoke with dirty long finger nails to rifle through used bins of records they already own 10 times over. Unlike you my friend, I don’t like to generalise Sorry if I’m coming across as having a complete sense of humour loss but I have to stop myself every day from losing my shit when I think about what’s happening to this country, Europe, the environment and wildlife. Sitting down in the evening once our child’s in bed and playing a record is the probably the only 40mins of respite I get from having to consider all this fucked up shit and assholes like the SHTV “community” fuelling it. I cannot wait for the boomer generation to finally leave this fucking earth.
You know I was being flippant, yes? Believe me, I know how you feel, living as I do in this hellish Trump-run banana republic. I overheard a moron at the grocery store today say to his retard buddy, "Why hasn't Trump fired Pelosi yet?? Is he waiting to do it tomorrow?" The stupid is insurmountable.
I know, no hard feelings! I just woke up in the morning and read that post first thing (yes, I check in SC before leaving my bed on the weekend) and was, what I believe is known as, triggered. Anyway, all is good, back to watching the SHites, let’s hope a CD revival is the way forward from the death of vinyl lacquers and extinction of koalas.

MYKKKE seems to be noticeable by his absence from the Vinyl Has 6 Months to Live thread or whatever it is (probably because he has no understanding of how records are made). However, him and StratMangler have been very busy in a thread about how to block members’ avatars. forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/how-to-avoid-seeing-avatars.927101/Note that the thread starter specifically mentions Bobby Moron’s avatar as being particularly irritating to him.

I don't think the sky is falling as much as Fremer and his ilk think. I think they just see a way for more price hikes and Hoofy is going to help all he can there, because he needs a M-O-O-N and that spells JOB! Here's what Gotta Groove had to say:
GGR Public Statement on Apollo/Transco Fire February 10, 2020
We at GGR were saddened to learn of the fire that destroyed the Apollo/Transco manufacturing facilities on February 6, 2020. The vinyl manufacturing industry is a relatively close-knit community. We have had many dealings directly with Terry Carlson (president of Apollo/Transco Masters) over the years. We hope that he, Apollo/Transco’s employees, as well as the many pressing plants and mastering providers around the world who relied predominantly upon Apollo/Transco will all weather this storm and successfully land on their feet.
How this situation affects Gotta Groove Records:
Gotta Groove Records provides lacquer mastering services – 12” orders are cut by Clint Holley and Dave Polster, and 7” orders are cut by Greg Reierson. - GGR does not rely upon Apollo/Transco for master lacquers used in making 12” records. Therefore, as of today, it does not appear that 12” orders will be affected by the Apollo/Transco fire. - 7” orders will be affected to some degree – it is not yet clear how regular our source will be for the size of lacquer traditionally used for 7” records. As of today, all pending 7” jobs are moving forward without interruption. Depending upon supply of additional lacquers for 7”, as well as demand for 7” orders, there may be delays for 7” jobs in the future. However, if/when need be, customers may opt to have their 7” jobs cut on lacquers normally used for 12” records, if they cover such additional costs. - Reference lacquers will be temporarily unavailable. This applies to both 12” and 7” orders – the supply of reference lacquers, at least in the near future, will be disrupted. In some situations, 12” customers will be offered the option to do test cut samples instead of reference lacquers.
We will continue to provide updates on this matter, should anything materially change from the statements made above. Of course, please feel free to contact us at either sales@gottagrooverecords.comor via phone at (800) 295-0171 if you have any specific questions. We are devoted to the vinyl format, and will continue to do everything within our powers to make vinyl manufacturing as accessible and consistent as it can be to musicians, labels, and anyone else wanting to make a record. We want to press your next record.
