    It’s a turntable :) echoing pincurlsandpearls, don’t get a suitcase player no matter how tempting the price is. The n eedles are shit and tracking weight is heavy and will ruin your records. Not to mention the sound coming out of the built in speakers is horrible, you’re better off playing from your phone speaker.

     

    Audio-technica lp60 or lp120 would be a better starter table. 120 is better but more pricey. They both have built in pre-amps so that is helpful but you need a stereo receiver and speakers too, hopefully you already have those because they are a whole nother expense

     

    I've owned both the LP60 and LP120 (currently have the LP120) and they both have worked like a dream. You can get the LP60 for as little as $79-99, and it's really the best bang you're going to get for your buck. Any cheaper models are just going to cost you more money in the long run by ruining all your records. The average lifespan for the LP60 is about three years, at which point the belt and motor typically wear out, but it still beats the chintzier models. When mine wore out I decided to splurge on the LP120, and it's been smooth sailing since.

     

    To reiterate, you will need a receiver & speaker system as well. I've had the Logitech Z506 system since 2014 and the quality is crisp enough for my tastes, but there are cheaper systems if you're on a budget.

    Lana’s lyrics have never been about originality or breaking literary grounds; rather, they’re broad impressionistic strokes that marry music to evoke feeling and mood. Think the paintings of Monét translated into musical form. It’s not about the detail, but the feeling that is cultivated, and that feeling transporting you to a particular place or time.

     

    I feel prophetic! Lana come thru with the Monet video for Love Song PLEASE  :defeated:

    You're scared to win, scared to lose

    I've heard the war was over if you really choose

    The one in and around you

    You hate the heat, you got the blues

    Changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you

    The Santa Ana moves you

    California is far from being a favorite but I think this might be one of my favorite parts in this entire record :defeated:

    lyrical perfection aside, her vocal delivery on this part makes me swoooooooon

    I just got wine drunk with my boyfriend (who isn’t a big Lana stan like me and hadn’t heard any of the tracks outside a couple of the singles), and we danced to the whole album on vinyl. He started crying during Love Song and stayed crying through Cinnamon Girl and said it felt like we were dancing at our wedding, and for that experience alone this album is 10/10 Lana’s best work.

    "Nightmarish as the discourse surrounding her early years could be, it’s always been Lana Del Rey’s dream we’ve been living in, and not the opposite. Born to Die endures as a monument both to what she created and what she endured, and even if the endurance overwhelmed the creation for quite awhile there, she got over the vicious Internet Ingenue era a long time ago, even if you never did."

    I was listening to Born To Die on the way home from work last night, and I was honestly awestruck at not only how well the album has aged, but also how far she has come since then. Over the course of the past seven years, she has now delivered us five albums and an EP, and every single one of them slaps in its own way. She's been remarkably prolific and consistent in quality. Instead of constantly arguing about which track on whatever album has the worst muddy trap beats, I feel like we should all look back and take stock of how lucky we are to follow such a talented artist who just keeps on growing and developing.
