The worst thing about doing the list is (on the app at least) it shows you how much your entire collection is worth which can be a bit depressing when you discover you could have bought a nice car or put a deposit on a house with it. But I'd never sell any of it. I always vowed to never to get rid of any of my music after bought - then quickly sold - a copy of The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails in 1999 because I was young and didn't "get it". 

I recommend downloading the app and doing your list with that as it has a barcode scanner which makes it a lot quicker. Especially when there are multiple presses of a certain record.

The app was loads easier to use, but I still got bored about half way through. This is how far I got

I can't see how to add records to collections via the app. Where abouts should I be looking?

Do we really need two seperate vinyl chats?

Rammstein have added a Cardiff show to their World Tour, next June. That has to be one of the biggest shows they've ever done. Will be some spectacle.

They to be pretty exclusively doing stadiums shows now, which if you’re their promoters or their agent means you’re absolutely rolling in it.

Tool have announced the title of their new album, Fear Incoulum, and officially confirmed the August 30th release date.

Also announced that from this Friday (August 2nd), their back catalogue is being made available on streaming sites 

[Jazzy G]

That's very cool. 

[SuperBacon]

Proper released their debut album I Spent The Winter Writing Songs About Getting Better on Friday and it is an absolute belter. 

For fans of smart, introspective lo-fi emo/indie.

They must be raking it in as a business, the show cant be cheap to set up and run but they have 2 different crews setting up in alternate places at the same time to keep the show rolling. They must kill it on merch too, the queues at the MK show were unlike ive ever seen, it was mental.

And that’s just with what they have at the show, their webshop is something else. They play the merch game better than KISS do these days. Just in the ‘Whats New’section you can find Rammstein doormats and Rammstein ‘Zwinger’ Perfume, their own line of Wine and Rum, Rammstein dish towels etc.

It’s always been an intense & costly operation to take them out on the road, but they are a must-see

Testament,Exodus and Death Angel

Insane tour announced for next year for any fans of the glory days of thrash (although these bands have released some bad ass albums in recent years too)

 

[Merzbow]

That's a nice line-up but what I really want is a "The Big Teutonic 4" show, I think they've done them a few times over the years but I don't remember any that were close by

Would fucking love to see Kreator tbh
