Best Venues in Chicago

Lincoln Hall is a solid venue, and has great sound, but I always feel too jammed in if i'm on the main floor, and the balcony is hard to get a good view from unless you're right up on the railing.

Its not a bad TT, basically a clone of a Technics 1200, but I would like to upgrade. The iTT03X is pretty solid, i've had it 6 or 7 years, and it was my first "new" TT after a decade of using shitty thrift shop finds.

Kenwood JL-505s. Big and loud, but not so great. I mostly listen with headphones.

Mine came to about $18.50 including shipping to the US, I can't see a domestic distro being able to sell it much cheaper.

Any price in a printed book is useless. Popsike, collectors frenzy, or a search of COMPLETED ebay auctions is the way to go. If you use discogs to price records, use the sales history, not the current selling price.

Search for "cheesecake" on ebay and limit your search results to records.

Alphabetize. I've got 2000+ records stored in Expedits, and have never had a problem finding a record, as long as it was filed correctly.

Its a record changer. Don't use it on records you want to keep mint.

They posted something in late March that shipping was delayed a few weeks due to a backup at the pressing plant.

If you know anyone that works in a bar or restaurant, boxes from bevnaps or tealights are the same dimensions as the cardboard 45 boxes sold at places like bags unlimited.

If you've got any money left after hitting those, there are a few more good ones just outside the city.

I loved this place when I lived out east. They always had great stuff priced to move, and a killer $1 section. I think they've moved a few times since I was last there, glad they're still around.

Oblivians - Soul Food LP - I've had to replace it twice over the last 15+ years. It's permanent home is in the listening pile, never on the shelf.

I made it using Zen Cart. As long as you already have hosting & a domain name, it's free. Initial setup was a little tricky, but not too bad, and once it's all setup it's easy to keep updated.
