Author Topic: WHATS POWERING [CTRL]ALT TODAY (Read 29753 times)

BunnyLake · « **on:** Sun, 29 March 2015, 11:41:22 »

as im chained to my desk most of the time, i end up sat here most of the day listening to vinyl, i think you can tell a lot about how my day is going based on what my choice of records is for that day

so partly because its a hobby i want to share as well as catalogue, im gonna use this thread a little like a music blog/running commentary of what is fuelling work on ctrl alt from day to day

i will post pictures of the vinyl im listening to that day, perhaps a little description of stuff, i may even throw some vaping related things in as well

most records nowadays come with an additional download code of the album, i listen to basically nothing digitally so whenever an album has a download code ill also post a pic of that as well, they normally only work for one person but whoever gets it each time, id be interested to hear your thoughts on whatever it is for

ill be starting this tomorrow and i will try and update it most days

for now, ill leave this thread open for any discussion on each days post etc, but if it starts getting too messy i may clean it up from time to time

sounds cool, what genre's of music do you tend to listen too?

and what kind of audio set up do you use?? do you have your turn table and pc going into one amp or are they separate ?

i listen to a ton of different stuff, but im sure you will get a bit of a theme going pretty quickly when i start posting

Cool, really glad to see that you decided to do this.

I'm sure I'll learn about a whole bunch of bands I didn't know about before, so I'll be following this close.

And like baldgye, I'm interested to see your setup.

Nice, cool idea for a thread. A vinyl player is something that I want to get when I stop moving around so much.

baldgye · « **Reply #6 on:** Sun, 29 March 2015, 15:08:32 »

yeah I'm also a bit curious about your turn table too tbh and what kind of functions it has etc !

Very cool, I'm a bit of a music collector as well, though I gave up on vinyl a bit because I don't have the desire to sink enough time/money into it.

Looking forward to seeing/hearing what powers you guys!

My fiancée would love you. She also collects vinyls. I am thinking of buying her a nicer player here soon.

Synjin · « **Reply #11 on:** Sun, 29 March 2015, 20:54:35 »

This would be so awesome. Would you like us to post pics of our album collections as well?

Pemdas · « **Reply #12 on:** Sun, 29 March 2015, 20:59:26 »

This post just made me sad. My collection of vinyl has been sitting in a corner of my room being neglected because of all the fun I'm having with keyboards.....

I feel you dude. Sucks when you can't appreciate them yet you imagine and dream of listening yo them.

I need a turntable, I got a couple of LPs but nothing to listen them with

I'd think that your download codes will only work for UK iTunes. It likely will not work across iTunes in other countries.

they dont come with itunes download codes

each record label as their own way of doing it, but they are worldwide and not country specific

Bandcamp is great

BunnyLake · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 30 March 2015, 08:18:18 »

ok guys

here is my first real post of this thread

what im doing, is leaving out anything i listen to from the day before, then making the post the next day, yesterday i was pretty busy so didnt get through as much as normal

but here goes

have mercy - a place of our own

download code

fenix tx - threesome 7 inch

milk teeth - sad sack (number 212 of 300)

jack's mannequin - everything in transit (1st pressing)

and then i didnt listen to these next few, but wanted to include the second pressing of this album, and some other jack's stuff, which im sure at some point i will get round to doing full pics of in this thread

jdcarpe · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 30 March 2015, 08:27:02 »

I got the Have Mercy download. Thank you! I'll give it a listen.

thats actually an album i purchased on a whim when i was buying some other stuff and listened to for the first time yesterday after having it for months, not my normal kinda album but i really enjoyed it

Hzza · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 30 March 2015, 08:29:39 »

Fenix TX is a bit of a blast from the past, I remember seeing them with New Found Glory and RX Bandits like 10 years ago in Camden I think.

edit - 2001

i pretty sure i was at that same show haha

and yeah, every now and then you just need a bit of nostalgia, and that is one of those songs that epitomizes a certain period of my life

Hzza · « **Reply #23 on:** Mon, 30 March 2015, 08:38:43 »

Same as that, 2000 to 2003ish was great for pop punk, it also coincided with my discovery of girls and booze

. Lots of happy memories coming flooding back, thanks for the nostalgia bomb.

I know what I'll be listening to in the car on the way home from work now

baldgye · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 30 March 2015, 08:39:36 »

will have to google this stuff when i get home, does your turntable have a repeat function?

i have a lot of stuff from that time, so expect to see some pop up randomly

yesterdays listens were a bit random, i had a big sort through of records so i was grabbing some kinda random stuff to play,but came across lots of goodies i had forgotten about to play over the next few days

look forward to it! I have an old turn table and now i finally have the room for it on a desk it would be nice to get some ideas of how to incorporate it into a desk worktop thing with my PC... though im a bit worried about vibrations from me banging my mouse and keyboard about in the heat of battle lol

Went through a minor Jack's Mannequin phase a while ago, I'll have to revisit them.
