That's a cool video.
My bandmate has his own lathe, so we will be able to make our own master when we record an LP. Big savings, good times. It helps to have older audiophile brainiacs in your band sometimes.

i saw this

Brilliance. Sheer brilliance on stilts. This thread has got me hard.

I realise this might seem sarcastic, but I was actually far too excited by these videos.

Glice,you're giving me the horn.

Great stuff. I'm maybe not as excited as Mr Glice, but it's fair to say that I'm moderately aroused.

Can I suggest we run a circle jerk?

The signficantly less sexy CD pressing video.

that was actually pretty interesting, although a bit more complicated than the amélie theory (vinyls made like pancakes)

They are made a bit like pancakes though. A little bit. You know, how they flatten out the cakes? That's a bit like the spread of pancake batter.

Insightful commentary from Glice once again. I'm a Godsend, really I am.

Thank you for that.

ive seen this shit in a factory actually, it's pretty cool

glice-- it's more like a mexican tortilla than a pancake



see?

FUCK. that sounds like j mascis when he talks fast

I stand perpetually in your debt. Realistically, I think you and I should go into business. With my insightful commentary, and your insightful pedantry, we could make millions. Sterling or Dollars.

instead of pedantry i can give you pedos

either way. think BIILLIONS.

ps- here's more!

So cool!!!

Thanks.

I want to quit my job and become one of those ladies who stack the fresh vinyl in those dish drainers!

For one of the coolest threads around here in a long time:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to cryptowonderdruginvogue again.

i'll spread him some. hey, i'll even slap it, hard...

there. his asscheeks should be red now.

that picture was in my head for a week. amazing

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to cryptowonderdruginvogue again.

Thanks for the watch! I love these types of vids

Lo siento, no entiendo senor.

pedo is a fart, senor glice

Crypto how do you know spanish?

my mom is mexican-ameircan, my father is a spaniard

Spaniard? he is just denying he is Mexican. Kidding.

I knew it you had a spanish name Pedro.

who the hell is this guy? Crypto?

nah, hes too legit to quit
my dads a really smart guy, he came from spain to study @ the UT Business school
met my mom
etc. etc.
and now im here

and yeah, my name is pedro alberto
hahaha
i love it, its goofy

Alberto, that name is weird, but my middle name is weird as fuck.

some random old motherfucker on ecstasy that was making me CRACK up
theres more pictures

Old guys on drugs. They always look so damned ridiculous. Whatever happened to "growing dignified and old," as Jonathon Richman recommends? Like me?

Best picture ever.

that was neat (both the pressing video and the old man pictures.)
now i understand why it's so goddamn expensive to press vinyl.

Yeah, it gave me new respect for the process. I liked the part about how they do the run-off etching, using that frame to brace the hand as you etch in the vinyl. I didn't realize they were that careful--but of course, they would have to be, duh.

But it was also a little disconcerting to watch all that freshly pressed vinyl just plop down in piles. Is that how some of my new vinyl gets those minor surface scruffs, even thought it's been sealed and never played?

I need to go pull out some records and get a vinyl fix. Right now. I'm jonesing.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to static-harmony again.

Here's a cool piece of hardware for digitalizing your vinyl and tapes.

No sound card needed!!!
