Also, I got this the other day. I already talked about it but I think it is cool. The Honeycomb/Gotham 7" from Animal Collective.

I agree! I guess I should have said I pre-ordered it. I can't wait to get it!

Paul van Dyk - Seven Ways (CD)
Pretty awesome early album of his, and it came with a bonus b-sides and remixes disc that I'm enjoying even more than the original.

I'm gunna be honest, I have never had the drive to start a record collection. I move a lot, and those things really aren't fun to move. Not to mention the space they take up and the space the record player would take up.
I'm very interested in owning physical music and make special efforts to find CDs of things. I love the album art and the bonus stuff you get with them like posters and liner notes. Plus CDs cost about the same as buying it from itunes anyway. But with CDs going the way of the Dodo, it seems like records may be the only way for me to actually buy physical music in a few years.
So, if I was to be in a place where I had the space for a record collection (my current place does not meet this criteria, but I am probably going to move in the fall) what would be the best way to go about getting started?
I have always dreampt of stumbling upon a huge record collection at a garage sale and buying the whole lot of them for a few hundred bucks. Is this anywhere near realistic or should I just start one album at a time and slowly work my way up?

If you start one album at a time and work your way up you will eventually have quite a collection. The whole lot scenario for me wouldn't provide a lot of music that I would actually listen to most likely. I would just go out and find an album that you really want to hear or one that you know you love and buy it.

I just made it a mission to get my favorite albums of all time on vinyl but it's proving difficult because many of my all-time favorites are rare or don't exist on record. =(

If you start one album at a time and work your way up you will eventually have quite a collection. The whole lot scenario for me wouldn't provide a lot of music that I would actually listen to most likely. I would just go out and find an album that you really want to hear or one that you know you love and buy it. I've been really close to buying a couple of my favourites, but I don't own a record player. At that point it would just be so I could physically have it, and I wouldn't be able to listen to it. There are about 20 albums I own on CD that I downloaded (illegaly) before they were released and then purchased the CD and the CD is still in the wrapper because I think it's kinda cool to have a mint condition CD. So I'm not opposed to owning something just for the sake of owning it, but I feel like it is either a both feet in or both feet out situation. I either buy a record player and start collecting, or I just don't even bother. The great thing about the idea of the 'whole bunch at once' idea is that I would get some stuff I love, because a lot of my favourite albums came out in the time of the record. That would get me going, get a record player, and I would be able to listen to a whole bunch of music I either haven't heard before or haven't listened to in a long time. The whole idea of starting a record collection from a single album just sounds so daunting.

It takes years and quality over quantity is tge only legit way to do it.
Also I do not get buying CDs at this point, much less wanting to keep one in mint condition.

Plausible. Or that co-worker than listens to terrible metal while doing yoga. I didn't even know they still sold Sony Discmans. Apparently, they do.

I'm in your boat, Davers, no vinyl collection, no turntable. There's an interesting thread about turntables in here somewhere but it's also a little daunting.
I will make a commitment to this some day, but unfortunately today is not the day.

Haha. That kitty is outrageously awesome. I can get the shit on iTunes but not on vinyl. What gives? How much are those converters?

Chances are if you are looking for artists from the 90's on vinyl you'll have a hard time finding them not because the bands themselves are too obscure but because vinyl died out with the end of the 80's. Everything went to CD's and cassettes. A few indie labels continued to put out singles on vinyl or limited releases, but it wasn't until the mid 2000's that putting your shit out on vinyl began to get popular again.
Obviously you can now find tons of 90's bands on vinyl, but those are re-issues to capitalize on the vinyl trend.
Buy vinyl people. It is the most fun way to enjoy and share music. Two words motherfuckers, Record Parties!

2nd Avenue Records seems to have everyone on vinyl. Biggest problem is "Get Behind Me Satan" is my favorite White Stripes album (whateva hatas) but it wasn't ever commercially released on vinyl. =(
I should also say, the ones that were released to execs and music writers sell for fuckin' $800+.

Nothing worse than spending a fuckin hundo on an OOP LP only to see it re-released ten months later.
Lookin at you, Sung Tongs.
