    Sleeve Strut.

    I'm very wary of PVC sleeves, I have a few records that were ruined by them. I get all my sleeves from Sleeve City, quality is great and they have sales all the time.

    Bootleg values

    Paul Barman returns

    If you listen to the podcast The Cipher, they did a good episode with Barman a few weeks ago. I had no idea just how involved his rhyme schemes and whole creative process were. I can't say that knowing has made me enjoy the music more, but it's definitely interesting to hear him talk about what...

    With valuable records I usually replace the paper sleeve with a nice Mobile Fidelity sleeve but if the original sleeve has lyrics, pictures, etc on it I'll keep the sleeve in the cover just for completeness sake. Sometimes the record won't fit in the cover with the original sleeve and the new...

    Louis CK did a great podcast with Mark Maron talking about his goals and motivation for "Horace & Pete" which convinced me that he really does have a vision that just happens to be as incredibly dark as it can be funny. It also let me know that I don't need to watch the show, life is real...
