Like a 30 year old collecting posters and pieces of plastic with Phish music on them isn't dorky. We are all lame. Get off your high horse.I'm "socially awkward", do not want to talk to a single person in the RSD line and proud of it.

You guys are better people than me. The few times I went out on RSD and waited in line I immediately hated the folks around me in line. I just stood in line silently and quietly seethed about the annoying people around me until the store opened.

You're just being silly, Barry.

Alright, this thread is where it started for me with TAC so I'll post this here. After hearing all of the hype about these guys, buying Two Conversations on a whim and loving it, I decided that, over time, I was going to get their discography and listen to each one for the first time on vinyl. I went from Two Conversations, Illumination Ritual, Sagarmatha, LLO, End of Ring Wars and ending today with Mare Vitalis. The depth of their discography is mind boggling. After hearing TC through LLO I thought I knew what they sounded like; more or less had them figured out. I was sorely mistaken. End of Ring Wars absolutely blew me away. I didn't have any backstory on how TAC started and so it was a great shock when I started hearing 90's emo blasting out at me. Listening to Mare Vitalis now, I can definitely see the transition from that into more of their current sound. I remember talking to Derek when I first listened to TAC and thought it was strange when he told me he couldn't really rank the albums sequentially in which he liked more than the others. After listening to all of their LPs that makes a lot of sense to me now. I don't necessarily think I could break them down into a certain order but I do know that this band has slowly become on of my favorites. The body of work that they've put together is really some masterful stuff. Super glad I stumbled into this thread a number of months ago when I did. So I guess I just wanted to say thanks for providing all of the hype and piquing my interest guys!

fucks sake, put out Poet's Life on vinyl already...

I was lucky enough to get to listen to this just now and holy crap! So so good! This band just does not ever disappoint. Extremely impressive album.

sorry. just had to

Every year I've waited in line for RSD, I've had a blast, just sayin'...

First post and you're offering to trade jazz records for TDAG on Vinyl Collective. Oh boy, you're in for a ride.

Got to love the fix descriptions.

Hoping for a Fleetwood Mac Rumors reissue.

shit. so glad Relapse have their finger on the pulse. i'm gonna buy one now. fuck the music inside, ITS GOT A KICKASS 3D COVER.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic. I don't see how anyone can even start complaining until sometime in September anyways.

I got my copy of Pinkerton today. This is my first Mofi release and experience with sound stage direct and I must say, I am throughly impressed. From the sturdy gatefold cardboard jacket, to the fancy "archive quality" vinyl sleeve, the packaging is just exquisite. SSD shipped my lone LP in their own fancy mailer inside a larger carboard box; they made damn sure there was no wiggle room. I asked in the notes to place the LP outside the jacket to prevent seam splits (which they bring to customers attention as an option during the check out process) and sure enough the vinyl was packed inside its archive grade sleeve inside a seperate polybag. As I was opening this package I began to feel guilty for using the coupon code and getting the package for $26 shipped. Listening to the album and it sounds amazing. I cant think of an LP I own that sounds much better. Now I know not to hold any reservations. I waited a while to pull the trigger due to that $30 price tag, but if the presentation and sound quality of this release reflects the mofi catalogue, I wouldn't hesitate from ordering any future releases. Worth every penny. If you're on the fence, JUST BUY IT.

please stop posting in this thread until it's time for a pre-order or someone has some real news. I can't handle the anxiety and my blood pressure gets all out of whack. thank you sincerely

You can get all three for $15.50 ppd in the US. Anybody buying from Pirates Press is crazy.

1. do a presale for silly 90s nostalgia record 2. press silly 90s nostalgia record 3. ??? 4. PRAWPHITT!!!!!

deathreat > death threat

From CB&H's Facebook: We are proud to announce that we will release the new Pentimento EP "Inside The Sea" here in germany ... US release comes from the mighty fine folks over at Paper+Plastick ... more details on this soon!

But then how will you know which Disturbed album is best?

It's not about being socially awkward. I make my living speaking in public to classrooms full of adults and I have a second job as a server at a restaurant that requires me to be knowledgable about food/beer/whiskey and speak confidently about it. It's about not giving two shits what the other fanboys in line are waiting for or what they did last year for RSD or how much they like/don't like bands I might or might not care for. I'd much rather stand in line with earphones in that pretend to care about a conversation that I don't actually care to be having just to pass the time.

good call. thanks. just did this

As a Tribe fan I have no problem with what Boston/Dempster did in this game. A-Rod deserves it. It would be awesome if this happened in every game. I know if we played the Yankees again I would love to see Salazar or Masterson throw a fastball right in A-Rod's back. Nothing at the head, just a message pitch. We have heard how many players have spoken out against him and you know there are many more that thinks he doesnt deserve to play another second of this game. This probably isnt the last time we will see this during the remainder of the season (I hope). God almighty was that an incredibly late game last night for the Tribe, well at least for us back here on the east coast. I was loving every second of the O-H-I-O chants I could hear on the TV. Many more Tribe fans that Halo fans at the end of that one.

You sir have a future! As a copywriter for feedbands.

Probably a solid 50 bucks per record. Only seems fair..

I am scared of what 3EB's price would be for this considering what they sold those found originals for.

they will not sell out in 2minutes. if they do we didn't order enough

I can't believe I actually read the whole review. It's fun when pitchfork reviews stuff you know inside and out... pointing out the bull is too easy.

^ you da man

I think we're actually still in decent shape on this boxset, you guys!

Yes, dry is the word I'd use...

Just not as much as the hidden variant I got from ETR:

I gave mine a good soak the other day, they look a lot better but I wish they would have shrunk more. But I also just got a pair of the 22 oz Unbranded which ive been wearing for a week and I'm pretty happy bout them. And I got a pair of gustins coming in the mail

Between this and Mogwai, I'm glad to see you're expanding your horizons into some quality jams, good sir. Not to imply there was anything wrong with the music you're already familiar with, it's just nice to see fellow VCers appreciate wholesome music outside of Thrice / Blink-182 / Brand New / Balance & Composure / Circa Survive / City & Colour.

OP updated. Everyone should know that I was shitting at work while I posted this. I got paid to shit, go on VC, and preorder records.

Why would you lose respect for a band who licenses their most popular album to a company that's gonna do a really top-notch audiophile release?? It was $50 because it was a double 45 RPM audiophile release, from a label that specializes in those. (I picked up their 45 RPM version of "Blue Train"... AMAZING. Could I have grabbed the $15 cheap-o repress instead? Sure... If I wanted a record that sounded like ass.) Anyway. There's also a cheap-o version of August as well from the Back To Black reissue in England. Still pricey due to import fees but if money's your primary concern... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Counting-Crows-August-Everything-After-Ltd-Ogv-12-VINYL-NEW-/390620951504?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item5af2d2b3d0

Yeah, the packaging rules, too! Thanks for supporting an awesome dude

They should make a special exception for A-Rod. Each opposing team gets four "special" pitches per game to direct at him. Special pitches cannot be pitched consecutively and they may not be above the shoulder. A team must not exceed four pitches, but there is no minimum requirement. In the event that the first three special pitches make contact the fourth is considered a "free pitch", A-Rod will not be awarded first base if struck by the fourth pitch in that scenario. Just an idea.

my exact fucking thoughts

Thank you again Justin Underground Communique for the banner!

Jahbreaker

each copy will come with a 1inchx1inch square cut from Jesus Christ's burial shroud

Yea i usually just buy cassettes at thrift stores and such, I dig the format. if anyone sees anything they wanna trade that I have let me know!

Incubus - Make Yourself & S.C.I.E.N.C.E. Would be epic! Also, Phantom Planet - Phantom Planet is Missing. Love that album
