On a serious note: I hope you are doing alright Melon. I know these days a lot can wind us down due to current frustrations, but I find that connecting with those I love most has been a big help. Also Im liking the new updates, especially brat.
you're so right with people reacting to art and saying "i could do that". a lot of people perceive "good" art to be something like a renaissance painting that takes an increible amount of skill. Which it does, but there's also room for more personal, creative art which doesn't focus on being impressive or having lots of detail.

Hey Anthony I hear you about your mental health. Especially for us Americans, it’s been really difficult seeing the direction our country could go. I have hope though. There’s so much goodness happening in the world despite all the horrors! This community where we can smile and laugh about music is one of those things! Keep doing you, you make such a positive impact.
I HONESTLY THOUGHT THE SAME FOR THE BRAT COVER, everyone was hating it at first, and I was like it’s kinda cool and I understand it, and then everyone was into this green colour like what a moment
someone said the ceil on the brat album was intentional and the concept was that the possession of the vinyl itself shouldn't be so glorified like 'artwork' its an album you listen to not an artwork to hang on the wall its not supposed to be precious
I send you my well wishes during this difficult time Melon man. Your passion for music lifts me on the bad days and I hope you treat yourself well while struggling.
I started listening to brat after seeing that you gave it a 10/10. You weren't wrong... probably gonna be album of the year for a lot of people. Thanks for always getting me into so much new and interesting music. I really appreciate what you do for us music nerds.
This really means a lot to me! I fell in love with collecting records through your vinyl updates so I started collecting vinyl mainly because of you! Keep em coming!
Dude. Hope u know u are loved and that I’m beyond grateful to have been put on to so much great music. I have met so many friends at concerts of artists u put me on to. Thx man. ALSO CLEARBODY MENTIONED!! I’m literally friends w one of the members Eric. Shoutout NC
I wish you well Mr. Fantano, I’m sorry things aren’t great. Just know you’re incredible and a great positive force when it comes to your audience. You’ve gotten people like me through some tough times❤️
Same with mental health Anthony. Hope you're good bro. We opened our Brat at the same time, turned out to be the same version. Looks sick. But no toothpick so we had to use a key 🔑
I got Hellmode and Sampha's Lahai! Also bought Brat, the Civerous album Maze Envy, Kara Jackson (Why does earth), and others that you turned me on to Mr. the Melon!
Anthony you absolutely must check out “Vinyl Storage Solutions” brand outer jacket sleeves. They’re incredible and unlike any on the market, like for real.
Great selections! I went to Amoeba Records today in SF. My vinyl selections were: •Nevermind - Nirvana (180 gram edition) •The Best of Roberta Flack - Roberta Flack •Raven - Kelela •God Said No - Omar Apollo •Whipped Cream and Other Delights - Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass •Submarine - The Marias •Cowboy Carter - Beyoncé
I'm sort of over vinyl to actually listen to as a well mastered CD on ok equipment will always sound better. I love the size of the art work and inserts though so still buy them often.
The last delivery place i worked for had the old paper with the perforations. It was crazy seeing it again as an adult lol. So i guess you can still buy it and use it

I have no doubt that the paper was just "New Old Stock" or "New Stock" that's still being produced for whatever reason because its still used in mass somewhere someplace!?!?
stop looking so cute in your thumbnail
looking extra submissive and breedable
Some good rare positivity in a fantano comment section
yeah really i can’t get it down for hours

brat so good it even got a 10/10 in packaging
are you the guy who did 16th second audio
dude really bought all of the brat vinyls
Charli put so much effort into every detail of the brat rollout it's insane.
And it all payed off
She really said BRAT SUMMER and the rest was history
especially the album cover, idk how she did it
@@Marc-ny6mg it's so dense, every single image has so many things going on
It's such a cohesive, brilliantly singular and recognizable era so far. It's been so damn fun to be a Charli fan this year.
Cutting with a toothpick is just fckin gangsta. Melon rules.
A toofpick changes everything
glad to see you’ve bought every edition of “the tortured poets department”
0:31 all jokes aside whether this was subtle hinting or not , we all care about you melon , hope your doing well mentally ❤️
glad to see you picked up HELLMODE just in time for Jeff Rosenstock’s remake album “SICKO MODE” where he mashes every song up with Travis Scott
OMG I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE!!! 😂

I thought this was a satirical channel taking the p out of the vinyl revival. 10/10 for a pink splatter Brat vinyl ? This has to be a joke right
@@njwtube not everyone thinks the vinyl revival is stupid, not sure how you thought this was satirical but ok.

He's definitely not unless this channel is satire
33:54 melon said what now
brat is such a deep, thought-provoking, introspective album. I look at life completely differently now. It is truly one of the greatest of all time.
60 copies of brat holy moly
guys, I think he likes that ‘brat’ album..
'my mental health is in a state' I feel that

Hope ur doing alr man
How about a Cage The Elephant update where you tell us what you thought of their new album
I’ve tried so many times to like that band but they just don’t do it for me? I find every song extremely boring
@@jeff7764 You try the Melophobia album? Only one I could really get into.
@@jeff7764try melophobia
@jeff7764 Cigarette Daydreams is a great song but most of their discography is boring or annoying.
i hope you’re feeling better ❤
Anthony’s shirt brings up a lot of questions
Insane Clown Posse
not a single question, just answers
fuck your rebel flag!!
It says "FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG" on it. Juggalo or not, it's a solid message.

Thumbnail got me rock hard ong
Please keep the vinyl updates coming! Would also love some way to find out what records you have standing up behind you on the Fantano channel videos.
Please make more thumbnails like that
Anthony you absolutely must check out “Vinyl Storage Solutions” brand outer jacket sleeves. They’re incredible and unlike any on the market, like for real.
I really hope you get better melon ❤❤ I myself am dealing with a lot of mental charges and self hatred and I don’t know what to do to be honest.

Never expected to see mention of my musical hero Jonathan Richman. So happy to see it!
I'm sort of over vinyl to actually listen to as a well mastered CD on ok equipment will always sound better. I love the size of the art work and inserts though so still buy them often.
CDs are far superior in terms of sound quality and price, but you are right about the art.
RIP to all those hype stickers :’( we still love you Melon
Really like this style of video
Ah man Anthony we love you man! You’ll get through the storm you’re in 🫶
"Baboon" and "Family Happiness" are my faves off of Coroners Gambit! So bitter and busted up. That boombox sound this record has is so unique..
The Coroner’s Gambit is SO underrated. One of my fav Mountain Goats albums as well. Onions is beautiful
Love these Tony! Keep em coming 🔥
The last delivery place i worked for had the old paper with the perforations. It was crazy seeing it again as an adult lol. So i guess you can still buy it and use it
yayayayay we love vinyl update!

I have no doubt that the paper was just "New Old Stock" or "New Stock" that's still being produced for whatever reason because its still used in mass somewhere someplace!?!?
The whole world is sleeping on Matt Easton’s new album People Under The Sun. But one day they will listen and be enlightened :)
