so i was talking to my dad and he mentioned that he used to take records, put them in the oven for a little bit then mold it into a bowl. heh. it works i tried. stick a record on a pizza pan, put it in the oven at 180 for acouple mins, until its pliable. then put it over the bottom of a bowl and wait for it to dry.
DON'T ruin your records! Egad, what's wrong with you people!?!? I'm spending hundreds of dollars year buying and babying them and you're making them into candy bowls? Alright, maybe the Peter Cottontail, but even then, you'll never hear the wonderfull strains of "Here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the Bunny trail, hippity hop hop hippity hop hop ......etc etc" again. Have you no nostalgia?

Ah. Warm. Sweet. A N A L O G.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
i agree with you colussus although most are my dads its great to look through his collection and pick out one to listen to, its just not the same on cd. i mean sure the quality you say is different but older artists originally meant there art to be heard that way. i realize that is a good idea but think before you "bowlize" your records.
well, excluding the bad house records i have... i could definitely give those up...
i might have to try that.
but this falls in the same catagory as what my drawing instructor wanted us to do for a sketch book. "find a book that you think is cool, AND DESTROY IT! MWUWHAHAHAHAHA" well no, but she wanted us to gesso over all the pages so we could draw on them. i almost choked. 'tis sacrilage.
Yo, as a tablist this hurts. Vinyl rocks, even if it is friggin Rod Stewart or crap like that. Many hours of satisfaction has come from ripping ish over a Coasters 45, then flipping Eddie Bo into the thick of it. The only wax I would melt would be one that is already warped beyond playablity. Anyone who has digged thrift stores and storage bin auctions knows what I'm talking about.
