    our minds omg... i was thinking of doing an accent wall!! my first color choice was like a sunny, happy yellow (but VERY light/pastel) but i'm having trouble finding any paint swatches that i like :/ i was also thinking about maybe a pastel peach or pink too

     

    cute yes let's do it

    what about like a marigold color? i always think of that as a perfect warm sunny color

    thank you!! i got the table as a gift from my grandparents while it was on sale, i wouldn’t have been able to afford it either :toofunny: here is the link anyways tho, maybe they’ll take more off the price again (beware the reviews tho, i’m lucky mine was nice) https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/modern-boho-media-stand?color=020&size=0000 before that though it was just on an ikea dresser, which tbh, was incredibly sturdy considering the amount of stuff i piled on it over the years :rip: idk about posters though sorry :( i mean... i guess ebay? all my posters are from random places tho, so i can’t really recommend anything in particular. the silhouette tho is actually the artwork from dj quik’s safe + sound cd and i wanted a fancy litho of it sooooooooooooooo badly, but they don’t exist so i made my own, it’s just watercolor :creep: so that’s also an option. sorry i’m not much help :defeated: and my room used to be a sea foam green from when i was little but it’s faded into a light green/blue now and i’m getting kind of tired of looking at it :/

     

    thank you!! they’re actually prints that came with the deluxe version of his vinyl. i always use inserts from vinyls as free posters :toofunny:

     

    thank you! now that i have the link for the shelf it's tempting but yah it's deffo too expensive so i'm not surprised it's from urban

     

    what about like a vintage 70s warm gold/orange type of color, not necessarily too pigmented but the vibe of it, could even just be one wall of it with the rest  being a lighter tone? i was thinking of all the brass coloring/white/pinks you have in there already

    here's all my ~music stuff~ for the most part, i have some pictures on a wall by my bed that yall aren't seeing plus like 2 storage boxes worth of one direction memorabilia in my closet :rip: there's also some lana and guns n roses stuff in those boxes too, especially from concerts and stuff. also cardboard cut outs of zayn and louis lmao . excuse my ikea furniture but i'm kind of proud of how my room is coming together, it's finally starting to look a room that belongs to a 20 year old and not a 13 y/o with harry styles posters on the ceiling

    ot but since yall are seeing my room can u help me... i want to paint it i need color suggestions pls 

     

    sorry this was long but i got excited

     

    shut your mouth your room is so cute! it's like the perfect amount for the size of the room (at least from what you're showing). btw where did you get that record table? i have a bad walmart shelf with all my music stuff on it and it's warping so fast lol but i'm too poor to have a nice looking wooden set up. ALSO i need good recommendations where to find posters online, do you happen to have any?

     

    are you walls currently like a minty color? or light blue/green?

     

    here's my messy shelf

    What record(s) of yours do you think you listen to the most? Or at least the most lately if it changes from time to time (this is for anyone)

     

    i love that! i feel like i'm half minimalist in the sense that i'm picky about what records i currently have, basically i'm trying to get a complete set of the three groups i love most and then once i have a complete set (which is getting harder to complete) i feel i can move on to things i like in general

     

    BUT to answer the question at hand, i've been getting familiar with kiss's discography since january and they have easily rocketed up to my top 3 (i didn't have one before). my process is to listen to the albums in the order they were released so i can kind of get a feel for what it was like to get them in time but also to hear the growth and changes throughout their history. right now i've gotten up to 1978 which was the release of the 4 solo albums by each kiss member and i've been listening a lot to those. they're each so different and really let the solo member stand out in what inspires them and at the same time you begin to see where aspects of a kiss album might come from. i love it. i listen to ace frehley's and paul stanley's the most right now, but gene simmons's and peter criss's have stand out tracks as well, they're just very specific to what each of them were influenced by which isnt a bad thing!

     

    and i guess in general, i always grab queen, queen ii, sheer heart attack, the works, the miracle (queen albums), the doors, strange days, la woman, morrison hotel (the doors), destroyer (kiss)... i keep all those on one shelf lol it depends on the mood but it's magical to turn on the stereo, crank your turntable and block the world with your headphones.

     

    BUT to answer the initial question about my most cherished piece... it's actually Lily Allen's It's Not Me, It's You, which is another one of my all-time favourites, and I was lucky enough to meet her last year and get it signed by her, which obviously makes it really special and, in a way, more valuable than all my other records. :)

     

    sorry to delete all your writing! but i loved it and i really loved the vinyl design on the zelda records, it reminds me of geodes in a way or some rock formation. so lucky to get it autographed! the detail you were describing some of your pieces was making me appreciate the works that i have, a lot of the older originals weren't really too focused on material and the way the release looked, but if i get a good copy of it AND it happens to include the original inserts i feel so lucky. it feels like holding a piece of history not only because of the music itself but this is was was being made over 40 years ago. so many listens have happened to my vinyl even before i received it and it's so fascinating to think of it that way.

    My “most cherished” pieces are probably just random rare stuff. Buckingham Nicks is definitely one of them. It’s a second pressing (1975 instead of 1973) and took me forever to find at a reasonable price. The Wind in the Willows (Debbie Harry’s first band/album) is another like that for that reason.

    And pretty much any album that’s out of print and not on streaming services feels like a treasure to me haha.

     

    All my Lana Del Rey albums for sure too though. I have 2-3 copies of each album (different versions) including AKA and Unreleased (bootleg but still important to me). Not as big as other people’s LDR collections but she’s the only artist I have multiple copies for, so they do mean a lot to me. Someday I’d like to separate them from everything else and give them their own shelf.

     

    In general, all my Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac and Joni Mitchell album collections are pretty precious to me too. They took a long time to collect and it’s all vintage (except for Rumours&Mirage oops).

     

    I have so many records that it’s hard for me to single it down to one most cherished record.

    Buckingham Nicks might really be it though.

     

    omg i love how into you are it reminds me of me when scouring for records. i think the most cherished piece i have is a Smile 45 rpm (Smile was the band right before Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor were 2/3 of it with Tim Staffell). i found it in MY GRANDPARENTS BASEMENT in a plastic bag while scouring the other vinyl down there my dad said i could have and nearly flipped out. the best part is that i checked the info (like material and matrix numbers etc) and it's a REAL original copy, super rare. i could never part with it ever. it was like god just let me have it lol

    i actually wrote about it and sent it to Queen's website and they actually published it i'm soo close to being in Queen i can feel it lolol

    @ @@SlowGinFizzzz @@recklessdaughter i still love the active collecting of vinyl, i'm not sure exactly what my oldest piece is but i have a lot of queen, the doors, kiss, 60s/70s records. i love finding originals or at least 2nd pressings so that i can hear what it sounded like then instead of an mp3 being ripped. i love vinyl so much. 

     

    does anyone have like a most cherished piece?

    Why would I be talking about groups who don't tour anymore? They are not relevant in a conversation about older bands touring. This conversation is regarding ageing bands, AKA those who DO still tour! 

     

    With Iggy & The Stooges, they performed a lot from 2003 - 2008, ESPECIALLY the Weirdness tour (huge tour for them!!!) but a lot was put to a halt once Ron died! Not exactly comparable to Lana's situation, really!

     

    wtf are you talking about valerie? they're completely relevant with the point i was making originally about lana's touring days at an aarp member and how lana could easily be one of them in the future.

    Stevie Nicks always had both Fleetwood Mac and her solo career and both were at like the height when she was Lana’s age. She still didn’t tour as much as she does now. She even knows she tours more now because she when she’s not, she gets bored and starts aging faster. Also FM have done so many farewell tours and they've all admitted they’ll probably never stop and keep referring to their tours as the last one “just in case”.

     

    i didn't even say you were wrong i was just adding that stevie nicks has multiple ventures whereas lana is just lana, she doesn't have a band or another musical project so calm down sis

     

    Yes absolutely necessarily, it is known! I will use Stevie as the example!

     

    Fleetwood Mac PRIME:

    ​Fleetwood Mac - 128 

    Rumours - 96 

    Mirage - 31

    Tusk - 112 

    Heroes Are Hard To Find - 43

     

    Total = 410 shows in approx 2 decades!

     

    Shake The Cage - 69 (this one can go either way! It was their first without Lindsey though which is a big milestone!)

     

    Fleetwood Mac PAST PRIME:

    Say You Will - 137 

    An Evening With Fleetwood Mac - 87

    Fleetwood Mac Live - 66

    On With The Show - 120

    Unleashed - 81

     

    Total = 491 shows since 2003!

     

    This applies to MANY ageing bands!  :flutter:

     

    This is not counting Stevie solo, of course!  :flutter:

     

    i never said you were wrong i said 'not necessarily' because a lot of groups don't tour anymore or do small venues once in a while, so you cant compare bands like the stones and fleetwood mac to 'smaller groups' like the new york dolls or iggy pop who has been doing mainly festival shows not headlining tours
