I got a new apartment. Very spontaneously and unexpected!! My current roommate and I had been planning on getting a loft with two other girls in August when our lease was up. Buuut we ended up finding our dream loft that we absolutely had to have NOW.. and put down the deposit today. It's 2800 sq ft, 2 levels.. and perfect! It's a store front....

A loft.. I'm so jealous! You'll have to post some pictures when you move in!
I hate getting stupid over dudes. For real. I'm sure it will pass soon, but for now, it's annoying.

Hey girl, yeah working at a bar is intense though, so many late nights! I go to school at Depaul. Where are you going?
shitsweak:
we need a new set from this girl!
I'm in the market for a record player. I have been for awhile and after working as much as I've been, I want to treat myself. I don't want to spend TOO much money. It doesn't need to be super fancy. Just needs to be able to play records and not fall apart on me (for at least a bit). Portable would be nice. USB...

If you just want one that will play records... head to some flea markets. I bought mine for $30 5 years ago and it's still working great.

Thanks, although re-reading this found I'd made a mistake (phono level should be about 5 mV, and not 50 mV; my bad).
After posting ended up digging around more - your question about turntables prompted me to look up something I've always wondered about - why do many older turntables have a 16-2/3 RPM setting?
I've been around music all my life, but never ran across any albums in that format (although it came in handy learning guitar riffs by running 33-1/3 LPs at half-speed). Turns out that Peter Goldmark, the guy who developed LP records for CBS Labs back in the late 1940s' came up with it for record players intended for use in automobiles.
That idea went bust fast, but 16's had limited popularity in spoken word transcriptions and other uses where it's increased run time outweighed sonic quality limitations.
I should point out that if your sound card has line level inputs then USB features aren't required, and you'll be able to connect a turntable (as long as it has a built-in phono-to-line level preamp) directly to the computer.

Yes, thanks for brownies and elf piss, yum yum.
Work last night was amazing. Thatiana and I bartended the main bar. We had a PJ party and all of us ladies looked so cute in our crazy PJ pants and pigtails. Around 1am, my friend brought us pillows so Thatiana and I had pillow fights behind the bar every now and then which was AMAZING (and entertained people at the bar). I really wish...
