Thought you were looking for something to break records. Was gonna suggest a hammer.

Once again, just because somebody doesn't like that noodly stuff, doesn't mean they don't get it or don't appreciate the musicianship that goes into it. It just means they don't like it. I think Trey is an incredible musician, maybe one of the best of our time. Cannot stand a single song the man has ever written. But I have awful taste in your cool guy opinion, so it doesn't matter what I think. And about Ryan being into that stuff back then, I actually didn't mind the jammy stuff in 2005, even though it's definitely not my thing. I thought it was pretty good at the shows and Ryan ripped some awesome guitar work for those Cold Roses and JCN songs. I found it interesting to watch. Neal, not so much. The songwriting was nowhere up to the level it was in 2005 after he joined the band. And I know that's mostly on Ryan (which he obviously realized when he fired the Cardinals) but once again, if you go back to what was said at the time, Ryan used to talk endlessly about Neal's influence on his songwriting. And if you compare the Cardinology era stuff with some of the crap on Neal's records and what Ryan used to let him play at the shows, it's quite obvious that was the case. Sorry you can't deal with somebody's opinion that Neal's boring as fuck, but it would be cool if you could grow up with your responses.

For a bunch of vinyl enthusiasts, this thread is really highlighting how little some folks know about how records are brought into existence.

<SEALED COPY> $10 PPD (US ONLY) Just shoot me a PM if you are interested and I'll pick a name at random tomorrow morning. Take it easy!

http://store.angusandjuliastone.com/store/angus-julia-stone-angus-julia-stone-2lp-music-album-vinyl-4736425 Super pricey at $55 for a 2LP but shipping in Australia cost me $3 for 2 copies of this, which kind of makes it a bit easier to swallow. Not sure how much shipping is going to cost for those outside Australia though... Anyway im looking forward to this release so thought id share the PO around. As some would know their last LP is worth rediculous amounts, I didnt want to risk this selling out and missing out! For anyone who hasnt heard them before id urge you to! Theyre incredible!

Guys, if anyone is looking for Vheissu go to: www.pylonrecords.com They have three different colors, contain the original album artwork and they probably sound a lot better than the HT repress! I got the clear. Hit it up! P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

And the winners are... permafaust 3arl Steviex2Shoes Congrats! Again, thanks to everyone who entered! Over 30 entries this time as well. Until next time...

People can be assholes. The other day some dude smacked my head with the wheel of his luggage and didn't even apologize. But the truth of it is I have this sick enjoyment from making pissed off people smile. We are a special breed. I used to say I wanted to work at the DMV... This is similar. But there is something so special about it. I have a crazily multi faceted role, and it keeps me entertained and on my toes. The best part is when you make the day of an asshole they usually end up being pretty cool. Sometimes people just hate traveling and need someone to listen to how shitty security was.

I was gonna say USPS could do a fine job

Scores are dope background music. I spin Moon and Solaris on the regular.

Hold up. Do you mean that double LPs aren't supposed to be $30 a pop?

I find I enjoy their discography as a whole, but for different reasons. I suppose it also helps when you grow up with a band who's sound "grows up" as well. I still jam Illusion of Safety just as much as Beggars or Major/Minor and enjoy them just the same, just for different reasons. At this point its also really cool to listen to their progression. I do the same with Cave In too.

My Simple Math was really warped when I got it too. Sent them an email and they had no problem sending me a new copy. Stand up dudes to do that.

Correct.

On a lighter note, all this talk of bears makes me think of this Simpsons episode.... Homer: "Now to fall gracefully through the windshield....."

Hey Ben - you're as helpful as ever! My prices are based on popsike history as well as discogs listings and prior sales. As I mentioned, IN BOLD RED LETTERS, which you may have missed, these aren't set prices. They are opening numbers. I am open to discussion and negotiation. I know what it's like to be hunting for these variants and to be trying to avoid ebay as much as possible and deal directly with someone who is willing to talk price. I'm trying to give other people that same opportunity. I've already sold a few things. I never said I was trying to sell them "fast"... I want them to go to good people. If you're just going to come in here again to tell me to "go to ebay" don't bother

Here, this'll help:

I'm not sure why you're bringing this back up, but if you are still completely ignorant to what the point of it all was, let me try to explain. It is not cool to invade someone's space. If someone's fine with it, then good for them, but if you're not, there's no reason you have to be forced into that situation. Culture values aside, it's still uncool that people can feel entitled to assume that it's alright to kiss someone else without their consent. If a strange man came up to you and decided to kiss you, I'm sure you wouldn't be okay with it. Unfortunately, it's mostly women who have to deal with that kind of stuff. Also:

fairly soon i'd say demand > supply ITC is certainly up there as one of my favorite labels. solid music, innovative hand-made releases without being gimmicky--the passion for what you're doing really comes through. i love that people here see that too. can't wait to see what's next.

i'm in love #194/269 Interpunk still has more of these available if anyone else missed this the first time around: http://interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=195498& Sounds INCREDIBLE.

I drunkenly pushed some hott straight girl up against a wall this weekend and made out with her... Apparently she was super into it so probs turned my first girl gay. Proud of myself

Looks like a great excuse to reissue the rest of the FOB discography, another splatter series....?

Well, slight change...this came on clear vinyl with blue and white splatter. Still looks really awesome.

Just be supportive man. Try to do things that will take her mind off of the situation.

No way, Scott 1-4 are hall of fame shit and I would take them over most albums by anyone. It's just that they're so far removed from what he's doing now and presumably what he'll do on this record.

Well this is weird enough to get my attention.

If I was local I'd be in for sure, look great man.

I'm going to a 12 hour 35mm horror marathon next month and the headlining film is the OG 1980 Maniac and I am so stoked. It's such a grimy film. Seeing an old scratched up print is going to suit it perfectly. Online dating: the first person I met has been my partner for almost 4 years now. She's amazing but I'm actually kinda bummed I didn't get any "crazy person" stories before I met her.

Thanks for all the imput guys/gals! I would much rather pay for a $150 roundtrip flight through Frontier (knowing now that it's decent) rather than a $450+ roundtrip flight through AA or Delta

got my copy today. looks good. can't wait to check it out

I was going to up vote this, but I reached my quota up voting the rest of your stuff today!

These prices are amazing. Buy his records because he is obviously trying to save some money for his child while hooking all of you guys up. Congrats, dude!

Is it traveling with a tiny pig and looking for "hunny"?

There's a bear outside my office.

Officially thanking the OP, since our excitement made us forget to do so.....Also, OP please consider changing the title of the thread since this now appears to be official.

Yo!

i blew it

Seconded.

I don't see how it was ever a fiasco. I doubt MOV did anything underhanded, they were simply caught between two feuding parties. More than likely, Universal screwed over TMV by selling the vinyl rights to MOV at the last possible minute, right when they were about to revert back to Cedric & Omar. And of course, Cedric flies off the handle in a completely irrational way... Then, behind the scenes, cooler heads hash out the details... Letting MOV sell through their pressing and recoup their investment, then getting the rights back to TMV so they can release THEIR vinyl versions without competition. In the interim, the customers get Deloused for a fair price than the previous $200+ market value... AND better sound quality than the original. If there's any "fiasco" in this, it's that MOV wasn't able to push out Frances before the lawyers came calling. A reissued Frances probably *will* sound great, but I don't see it for sale before 2015... And I wouldn't be surprised if Cedric charges you upwards of $50 for his "officially sanctioned" version.

And I will stick with Marc Bolan albums. That's about as T-Rexy as I'll get.

dont forget the orange ones too http://www.youjustmademylist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/orange_turds.jpg

Yeah I got the RSD pic disc as well for $20. My UO still has like ten copies of the green left.

I saw The Naked And Famous last night in richmond. Fantastic show, these guys have really stepped up their game as far as live production and sound goes. I was bummed they had already sold out of their LP before they had even arrived on the east coast. even more amazing was their opening act WHITE SEA (chick from M83 side project) This woman has some SERIOUS pipes. voice like Mariah Carey. I 100% suggest a listen. check out the track "Future Husbands And Past Lives"
