I did...all my records are already on MP3 and Homeserver...and of course the most precious ones on my iPhone... my problem is the space...they cover almost a full cupboard in my cellar and as already mentioned, I don´t listen to them anymore, since I have them all on MP3... gene sculatti said:

Not sure about the worth of the original Nuggets> vinyl, but my two cents' worth is maybe think twice about getting rid of your collection. Just a cautionary note re keeping some sort of back-up (in case of I-don't-know-what: Y3K maybe?). If you have the stuff on CD you're probably OK. For vinyl that never made it to official CD reissue, I've digitized it, thrown it into my iTunes library, then made CD-Rs.Maybe I'm being too anal-retentive, but... Only a thought.

Maybe trim the fat a little, or give them to me.

You should hang on to them!

The Sire edition was actually a reissue witha new cover, the original was on Elektra. I've seen the Sire one go for $20-50 on Ebay, depending on how many bidders get going.

I have quite a big collection of rare 60´s Garage collections (Pebbles, Mindrockers, Garage Punk Unknows, Back from the Grave,...most remarkably that I collected all of them from Austria) most of them on records, some on CD...and most of my favorite songs converted to MP3. I must admit I haven´t listened to this records for years and I considerably start now to think of selling them. I wouldn´t just sell them to anybody...only somebody who really knows what´s the whole thing´s about. I could do it via eBay but I am sure somebody here knows a better place to sell these records. When I went through them the other, brought back lots of old memories and it makes me sad to let them go, but place wise it would help us a great deal. In any case can somebody also tell me what 1965–1968"">Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968 (the original edition from 1976 from Sire) is worth today.

thanks Peter

I recommend the Rodeway Inn (785) 841-8410 or the Hampton Inn (785) 841-4994 kopper said:

Anyone know where in town this is going to be held? And what about hotels? Where is everyone staying? I'm looking to share a room with three other guys from St. Louis so it doesn't have to be really cheap... splitting it four ways will keep it cheap enough for each of us.

KANSAS????

It's the tough part, but it also eases the overcrowding a lot. SlimESQ said:

Yeah that is another killer lineup and free is rad but it all goes down in one day? I feel like you'd have to make some tough choices

I hear the Clean and Gentleman Jesse are being added, too...

right on! unbelievable lineup. i'm gonna have to rearrange my whole damn calender.

Also, there were supposed to be three or four local bands, but they got dropped as well! Scary Manilow said:

Guitar Wolf were on the bill initially, then mysteriously vanished.

ANY ONE ?

ANY ONE?

Sounds like "Smoke em if you got em', they'll be no tomorrow."

As far as metal goes, Slayer is...ok...but I prefer Twisted Sister!

What's up Doc? Yes, Young Widows are pretty great. I actually saw them the same week as Harvey Milk this past spring, carpooled with the same guys, and noted a number of the same faces at the shows. I would classify them as "noise rock" rather than "metal", but that's splittin' hairs. My Mom couldn't tell any of it apart, Ya know? If you like YW look out for Future of the Left (formerly McClusky), Clockcleaner, and Pissed Jeans. Doc Sanchez said:

Hi Ego,

that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I've heard a few of those names already, Harvey Milk, Boris and Baroness for example. But now I'll go a-hunting for more.

Another pretty good band are the Young Widows, but I don't know if they can be called Metal, or rather just Noise(core). Anyway, I like the way they work with a kind of loopy, repetitive riffing.

Does anyone like Carcass? I think that "Necroticism" is one of the best grindcore records ever made, so full of good ideas, with a superb sound and cool humor. After that, they became too soft, too "indie", and before that album they were amusing but kind of bad. But this one album, wow.

Awesome, that's on the short list of things I want to try out. If you record any songs with it let us know! Johnny Danger said:

I'm thinking a fender tank, though I'm not too snobby to try a pedal.

I just got me that Boss FRV-1 'tank' pedal ... I really dig how it sounds and it's really cheap. It'll probably take me years to get around to saving/building a real tank and this'll definately tide me over.

So far I've only run into the speakers on my Epiphone Blues Custom 30. I've got some Eminence Legends and I'm planning on building a cab out of some pine from a really old house. If I don't like the Eminence speakers I'll probably check out some of the cheap Weber speakers. As far as the reverb pedal goes, the guys over at the surf guitar forum (surfguitar101.com) seem to like the Digitech Digiverb. I've heard some good things about the Boss FRV-1 too. It's based on the fender '63 Reverb tank. I would like to try out the Danelectro Spring King too. It has a real mini tank with springs in it. I think you can get pretty good deals on the Fender reissue tank if you're patient on ebay. It'll take a bit more saving for me to swing that though. Brandon Reed said:

Thanks man. I usually run it into a Marshall '71 1960 Lead 4x12. I just got an old beat to hell mxr distortion + I'm hoping to work into my setup for fuzz tones.

Score on the bassman by the way. What are you running into it?

I'm also in the market for a reverb pedal as my amp doesn't have any. I've been looking around and have almost committed to buying the holy grail by ehx but havent gotten to do any testing yet. Any other reverb pedals catch your eye?

Very nice! Simplicity is always good.

I just picked up a Blackface Bassman head this week for slightly under what they normally go for now, so I'm pretty stoked about that. Next on the agenda is something to take care of my lack of reverb. I'm thinking a fender tank, though I'm not too snobby to try a pedal.
