Most, but not all of my collection. When we moved in, we got a joiner to custom build these into the side of the room.

They should do Master Chief green, Energy Sword purple, and plasma grenade blue variants.

This is a long thread for someone who is about to have their order cancelled...

Huh? How does taking money upfront change your ability to meet demand for the better, or at all? How would things not go smoother if you have your shit together before you open up shop? The quantity pressed was stated upfront, so you're not adjusting your order sized based on preorders. So aside from being getting paid a few months early by a few thousand The Hobby!!! collectors who will, at best, be patient (LOL nope), and at worst, complain publicly about inevitable delays (if you announce them) or send you tons of emails and speculate on message boards (if you decide to leave them in the dark), what are the advantages of doing preorders, exactly?

You can laugh out loud, but I feel like SRC has established itself well enough to be able to do that. Most labels use pre-orders to fund the pressing, but with the amount of records y'all press and sell you could front the money for the pressing and have all of it ready to go before you ever post them on the site and eliminate the pre-order process all together. Which would make people very happy.

I'm hoping for the first two Shelby albums one day

Surely he knew that was a huge possibility. You can't send something to 300 people on the internet and assume every single one of them is an honest person.

I feel kind of bad about saying this, but one of my biggest pet peeves as of recently is when people on Tumblr claim to be seriously mentally ill, but are completely self-diagnosed. Like, I'm sorry you feel like there may be something wrong with you, and I know you know yourself much better than I do or ever will, but until you get a real diagnosis from a real doctor/psychiatrist, I call bullshit. I also realize that a few of the people who do it may not have the money or familial support to visit a professional and get the diagnosis and help they need, because the majority of the people I see doing it are still teenagers who live with their parents, but it still bugs the shit out of me.

Today, I drove 4 hours each way interstate for a funeral for a mate of mine that died under suspicious circumstances. The police say he was murdered. Stabbed multiple times. No leads, no suspects no nothing. Now, as the majority of the boards here are American this probably doesn't seem 'too' out of the ordinary. But this happened in my nations capital. In a good city. Add on to that. This guy was about 5'5". Legally blind, profoundly deaf thanks to a degenerative hearing disorder. And was the actual nicest guy anyone could have ever met. This guy when he was younger and had better vision would drive 3 hours to my town just to watch a bunch of local bands play, then drive home. Cos music. He loved punk rock so ducking much. It's kind of unfathamable just how much and how far he would go for a show. He befriended everyone because he had no one. Both his parents died when he was 16-17. So he lived with his grans for a while. Then she died. He found solace in our community of music. And we all fucking loved the guy. I mean. How could you not? He went to every show ever. Up front and centre singing all the words. Bought merch and offered a floor for any band going through his town. Deadset champion. It got to the point for him that traveling to my home town wasn't really cutting it. So come weekends he'd come to us, pick a few of is up, then drive to Sydney. We'd watch the show. Them he'd drive our drunk arses home. Crash at one of our houses and drive himself home the next morning. Dedication right there! And love. And smiles. And good times. Always good times. It was this dedication that earnt him a little moniker for overseas touring bands. The punisher. Bad religion. Descendants, strung out, pour habit, jugheads revenge, nofx, cobra skulls, dead to me amongst many others. All knew him by name, or by moniker. Nick or the ginger ninja. He travelled Australia for every fucking show all these bands played here from about 2006 onward. And that was in between all the local shows he'd attend It wouldn't be long until he thought, fuck it. These bands tour the states so often, and over here every few years. I might as well go to America and follow them around for a bit as well. Which he did 3 times. Once for punk rock bowling. Which as it turned out was great timing. He always had that. After being in the states watching lagwagon rip it up at PRB lagwagon toured here the following week. And you guessed it. The ninja was front and centre when they took stage. Which lead to just one of his many amazing from great artists. Joey cape and the rest of them took stage. Joey did that hand in front of the eyes thing, squinted a bit in the lights and said hey, we're lagwagon. Then did a double take when he looked out on the crowd as he saw the ginge. Bemused he asked 'hey, weren't you at punk rock bowling last week?'. That smile on his damned face. I'll never forget it. It was the same smile that would light up as soon as he saw a familiar face. Infectious doesn't cut it. He was an absolutely ridiculous character. Think the guy you've seen with the most deliberate dumb haircut. He had it beat by a thousand times. Think the dumbest thing you've ever done. He's done it, probably twice. Maybe even taken a piss at the same time. And it's with all this in mind that the funeral arrangements were prepared. His casket was COVERED in tour posters. From his own collection. Which amassed literally hundreds. There's been a number of the bands I already mentioned that wrote some great things on their Facebook pages. Most notably strung out. I fucking loved you nick. We shared so many great moments. And every show I go to from here on out there's going to be a beer on stage, or side of stage, or in the corner for you. You won't be missed, because you'll always be here in spirit. You're in my thoughts daily. And I don't want to see a day that it doesn't happen. It won't happen. Because every single time I put that needle down. I'll be remembering all those times we pre-gamed. Or post-gamed. Or just gamed. Today was a tough one. Today was a great one. Your turnout, was simply amazing. And I hope wherever you find yourself now you realise just how much you were loved by all and sundry. This community of ours. This punk rock community is drinking 10,000 beers for you right now.

Squatted for the first time in 6 months (maybe more). Quads are on fire with only 100 pounds (sets of 10, though). I had been doing some body-weight squats occasionally but it's just not the same effect. You get winded more than you tire your muscles out. Was in a pretty bad place with back pain. Wasn't "give me bottles of vicodin and sign me up for back surgery" bad, but I was having trouble playing golf, had the moderate pain down my left leg, etc. Ability to squat was not my main concern at that point. Think I got some benefit out of replacing my mattress (went from very soft pillowtop to a pretty stiff memory foam) but especially, bought an inversion table and use it for 10 minutes a day. Feeling 10x better. I'm gonna ramp up slow and have given up on the idea of the 1k pound squat-deadlift-bench (if I could comfortably do a 200x5 set of ass-to-the-ground squats, I'd be happy with it), but feeling great to take that first step towards a proper lifting program again.

I bought that for 5 bucks on Amazon holla

Just got the first one back in February and it is everything you hope it is. I'm all aboard for Vol. 2, Kinda wish they would do all of them... INCLUDING ODST! Yeah the game isn't much, but the soundtrack has got to be one of the best.

I pray for more Coasta everyday.

I'm curious on the advantages of preordering as well. Please enlighten us. I remember having to wait Damn near eight months for my have gun will travel preorder and now looking back that's kind of messed up to take people's money for that long.

@dethrock you fixed it! Thanks so much. Also of I didn't have my girlfriend to make me budget I'd be flat broke. So yeah I probably will marry her cause I love her. Have a nice life.

Im gonna head to my record store tomorrow. If they have more than one copy I will be grabbing an extra. No promises though.

Jamey told me that they are working on one and when it's done they'll tour.

LOL

The Dollop put out a great show about the history of Ferguson and what was actually going on with the community and the powers that be prior to Michael Brown's murder - http://thedollop.libsyn.com/ferguson-0

And when those are gone they'll "find" a box in a few months

I really thought the RSD newbies would've fallen off by now.

BAM! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OdxN0LnbPM Youtube is a great way for me to check out new albums. Don't have the guilt of downloading shitty pirated files and can access it whenever I please

I get where you're coming from, but I feel like any whale can be a white whale if you hate it enough. Its about what matters to the individual. I dream of one day finding this album in a dollar bin or garbage can

It must be both a whale (sea mammal) and white (opposite of black)

Not until someone argues about what counts as a white whale and what doesn't

Hey, this guy is badass. Get his stuff now. No, I'm not being paid to type this remarkable statement either.

I love you.

Voodoo Donuts.

why 'Du Hast' bro?

I was pretty disappointed with that last 7". think I'm gonna wait til I hear a track first. I think we both agree, it's all been downhill since vilayer.

Got mine yesterday, EP is phenomenal. These guys get better and better with each release.

JPC seems to have red copies also: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/ty-segall-manipulator/hnum/5384309 i ordered one and it arrived opened but red

I also cheated and checked out the new TWDY and I am literally obsessed. It is so insanely good.

this is why you don't do PREORDERS. live and learn SRC. get them in hand---->post items for sale---->roll around in your $$$ while your customers are happy with the quick ship turnaround

They came in on Tuesday. We had to then wait for an inspector to deem them damaged, then wait for a report so they could be credited so we could repress them. This is a HUGE process.

Show me your ways.

here's NBC. i don't think frozen pics have been put up yet.

I had that same duvet cover last year. Also, yeah really nice dorm room, When I was at college all my Ikea money went on weed and goon.

Slowly working on my area.

Hey man, they're just records to me. I understand when people pay for rarer records that are older, because it takes a big amount to coax someone into letting it go. But a record that is readily available on another color? It'd be dumb and mean to flip it, and I would hope that other members of VC would treat me the same.

i'm assuming that this dude will probably have copies of it: http://thearchipelagorises.bigcartel.com/

Back when Coheed toured with slipknot, I went to the show and to this day, seeing Slipknot live was by far one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. They were fucking incredible. I'm not a fan of their recordings at all but I wouldn't hesitate to go see them live again if they came near me.

Super excited for this one. Also picked these up 180g black/250

I can't say for sure...but I believe that this is as complete as it gets! There isn't many Pennywise collectors out there, but for me it's one of my favorite band (music wise, but also collecting wise).

/1 variant where is it

Just an FYI - Prosthetic is in charge of all the manufacturing on this, we didn't have anything to do with it. They were nice enough to give us our own color. Guessing they will be shrink wrapped though. If you place an order and want the vinyl packed outside the jacket just leave a note when checking out. Thanks for all the kind words from everyone, really appreciate it. We have an official SOS release that we're working on now that you all should be pretty excited about which looks to be released in late October. Hope to announce it soon. Also working on a couple early 2015 releases now too! Additionally, we have learned from past releases. All of our releases (starting with Set and Setting's "Equanimity") are now in polybags instead of being shrink wrapped.

SoS was solid for the ITTCT release, but I would request that the sleeve be shipped outside the jacket. sooo many brutal splits on that one, assuming SoS is shrink wrapping them.

Artwork designed by yours truly. Looks like the tri-colors are half gone already. Don't sleep!

I'm strangely at peace with it all to be honest. His funeral was BY FAR the most well attended i'ver been to. The service you couldn't get inside. Hopefully this works, but here is a quick snap of the procession following the hearse. As best i've looked, I couldn't see the end of this line. At least 300 people. For a guy that just went to shows and hung out with everyone. It's pretty fucking amazing
