no more Sam Ray / anyone hate in this thread please, obviously not the place.

love the watermark

Sup.

I'm stoked that Edit the Sad Parts is actually confirmed now.

Sorry for the crappy quality, just took them quick on my phone.

Or $60 if it's in a burlap sack.

I hope that's some sort of optical illusion because that's a terrible floor to place vinyl on

This guy.

Today was the town Halloween Parade - my boy begged me to be Darth Vader to his Stormtrooper. Since the parade is sponsored by the Fire Dept I figured FireFighter Vader was appropriate. The two of us rode the truck tossing candy to kids all the way down Broad Street. A damn awesome day for us and I hope a few kids along the way were thrilled to have Darth Vader on a Fire Truck give them some candy. (I did yell at the Han Solo/Princess Leia Family that the children of Rebel Scum get nothing just before I tossed a handful to them)

Tapes can be super cool and look really nice, fuck Julian Casablancas for $13 tapes. But ex of nice tapes:

Well-done tapes sound really good and are a very cheap way to buy a physical copy of an album instead of downloading one.

I think this little tidbit of info warrants a bump of sorts. I asked the band in the VIP q&a session today in Santa Cruz about this sounding terrible. They said it's the fault of Hopeless and that they know it's too long for a single lp. Hopeless approached them about doing a third pressing, and they said absolutely not, unless they do it as a 2xlp. So, if it's ever repressed, it should be as a double lp according to the band.

amoeba has signed copy for 30 bucks plus tax. Not bad. Mine came today and he signed in the white circle on his face. http://www.amoeba.com/you-re-dead-signed-lp-flying-lotus/albums/3381790/?utm_source=Tumblr&utm_medium=Post&utm_content=LP&utm_campaign=FlyingLotusSigned

got a nice surprise in the mail today...

Missing a few, but overall a fairly complete TWY collection, I have a few that aren't pictured

This is my favorite shirt we've done so far. Figured I'd share, maybe some folks would be into it. http://brokenrimrecords.storenvy.com/collections/11649-all-products/products/10239522-kid-d-broken-rim-shirt

The 1st Head Exploding experiment was just sent as well.

Let me know if you decide to sell any of those if these trees could talk records

Well you're posting in the Secret Santa thread instead of the NFL one. So I'd guess very drunk.

I've been spending way too much on prints lately.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet... Moonrise Kingdom

Hopeless is not gunna care, I can tell you that much.

That's an awesome drop, and I am happy for you... but, goddammit. Between you nabbing that Hawkmoon and Shlebs rocking the Monte, I feel like I can't catch a break over here. There's like, a total of 4 or 5 guns I'd love to get my hands on... and I feel like it'll never happen. To the general Destiny players in this thread: is anyone else having shit luck with this game? I vented to Batman about this the night before last, but I feel like I have the absolute worst luck with every drop (or lack thereof) in the game. It was a little irritating at first, and then kind of funny, but now it's outright frustrating and sort of killing my desire to play the game. Apologies for the major whine fest here; Vault of Glass / Raid. I understand that to better your odds of good shit, you need to do the Raid weekly. On Normal I've probably completed the Raid about 4 or 5 times. Or rather, those were runs where I was receiving loot. I've done the entire Raid no less than 7 times at this point, but a few of those were just to help out friends and their secondary characters. (Which resulted in nothing for me, but I knew that going in.) And of those 5 Normal runs, I've received Ascendant materials 100% of the time. Every chest. Every wave / encounter completion. Every boss. I'm so fucking tired of seeing "Ascendent _____" pop up on my screen. Meanwhile, the friends I'm helping... they're opening chests and finding Exotics (Plan C, Hawkmoon) and scoffing. "Ugh, I already have this. Guess I'll dismantle it for shards." So frustrating. Now that I think about it, there was one time I beat Atheon and I received a legendary ship. But I don't think I could've possibly cared less. Maybe that makes me ungrateful, but I couldn't help but stare at my screen in dismay. After 5 Atheon runs, I haven't even received the Chatterwhite shader. I shit you not. The one piece of Raid gear I've received was when a friend invited me to the final boss (Atheon) on Hard, and his experienced Warlock buddies managed to glitch him off the map. I was in their room for a total of 2 minutes, and scored a Raid helmet and a Sparrow (like Jesus of Suburbia), and that was that. I'm not frustrated that I got the helmet - like I mentioned, it's the one and only piece of Raid gear that I have, so I'm grateful - but what gets me is that I didn't do shit for it. My friend / co-worker who invited me? - he joined a minute before I did, right at the very end. And while he did get to run up and help out with grenading Atheon off the map, he contributed just as little as I did to the entire Hard Raid. But instead of a Sparrow and a helmet, he scored a Raid chest piece and the Vex Mythoclast. Yup. The drops are so fucky and unbalanced in Destiny; it boggles my mind. Which sparks my next point of frustration: The Crucible. I can't score with Crucible drops to save my life. It's so goddamn inconsistent and I find myself pulling out my hair over it. I've been playing it quite a bit lately, since my second character needs marks for legendary gear - and praise [RNG]Jesus that those aren't randomly generated - so I've been seeing a lot of drops across the board. Just not for me. Games where I pull the team and land 40 kills earns me a shit-tier pulse rifle that I've received 20 times over, while the guy in last place scored a Plan C Exotic fusion rifle. This is nothing new... I mean, I think we all established that Crucible drops were a joke just a few pages ago. And as much as I hate to sound like a brat who's pointing and crying ("You don't deserve that! I deserve that!")... seriously; what the fuck? I had another game where I absolutely dominated. 29 and 2, with a landslide victory. I didn't receive anything, but some dude who went 8 and 11 scored himself a Hawkmoon (or maybe The Last Word? Some kind of Exotic hand cannon.) And I'm pretty sure I've seen people join at the last moment, die once or twice without contributing any points, and walk away with a Legendary engram. Uhh... what? I wouldn't be throwing a fit if the system was consistent. Those two games I mentioned in the last paragraph were among my best, but I am hardly a Crucible legend. If I'm playing solo and I get paired up against a party of 6, I get stomped and there's not much I can do about it. And even those games, where I'm sandwiched in the middle of the losing team's scoreboard and go 10 and 8... nothing. I can't find shit. But it's those games where the top performer on my (losing) team will at least get two blue engrams, or a purple engram and a strange coin. I don't get it. But it legitimately feels like I can't win. And the cherry on top of all this? That aforementioned friend / co-worker... after work on Friday morning, we thought we'd celebrate our last shift of the week (which was also our payday) with a little 05 AM Destiny. So we each get home and sign on, and eventually party up with a mutual friend to do the Daily mission. Our friend and I zoom ahead at the start of the mission; my co-worker is "paying a few bills real quick" and tells us to hold up. (Which we obviously ignore.) But in hindsight, I guess I should've taken his advice... because at the end of the mission, the 3rd friend and I received a single blue engram [with 90+ kills a piece] while my co-worker, with ~20 kills, was rewarded a blue and a purple. The best part is that he maybe played for a total of 3 minutes. Long enough to hop on his Sparrow, zoom across the map to where we were duking it out with the final wave of enemies, use his super, and clean up a few kills. So... I don't know, guys. All of these examples have me scratching my head and wondering why the fuck I even bother trying at this point. Anyone else in the same boat? All of my Exotics I've either earned purchased from Xur or earned through bounties. (And the one Exotic piece of armor I want for my Titan, Xur carried during the first week the game was released... but that's it. Still waiting.) I feel like the Destiny Gods are just pointing and laughing at this point. Should I just go AFK in Crucible and Strike playlists? Find 2 friends who are willing to do the Nightfall or a Raid while I just sit back and twiddle my thumbs? That seems to be the best way to score rare loot. Meanwhile, 1 out of 3 Crucible matches I'm playing has someone on the other team with the Vex Mythoclast, absolutely destroying my team. I was relieved when Bungie nerfed the gun... but even now, it's still ridiculously powerful, and a total free pass for anyone with sloppy aim in PVP. But just yesterday I read that Bungie is reversing that nerf, and going to up the damage on it? They state that they want the Vex Mythoclast to be more powerful than the other Exotics. So... that's cool. It's gotten to the point where I have a sniper rifle as my secondary in PVP, because it's the only gun that can win in a Mytho toe-to-toe. Unless you're both rounding the corner and you've already got a shotgun equipped or a fusion rifle charging up, you're going to die. No auto rifle, scout rifle, pulse rifle, or hand cannon can drop a Mytho wielder before they can drop you. Even landing headshots with a heavy machine gun, I'm lucky if I can get a mutual kill against a Mytho kid at mid range. Anyways. It feels great to get all of that off my chest. Despite the awful story, redundant worlds and missions, repetitive tasking, and absolute horse-shit reward system... I've still been playing the game almost daily since launch. I don't know what's wrong with me. This past week has been super trying as far as my patience goes, though. I can't help but shudder when I think back to all of the time I put in on those Crucible matches and Raids, and the complete lack of significant armor or weapons I have to show for it. But Ascendant materials. I've got Ascendant materials for days. They're kind of pointless when you can't get a single item to use them on, though. /QQ Thanks for reading, dudes. Sorry for sounding like a total crybaby. [edit] To clarify on a few things – the main reason I sign on to Destiny is because I have a blast playing with my friends when they're online. That includes you dudes at VC. It's nice to nerd out about vinyl and videogames with Batman, especially, since we can relate to a lot of the same stuff. I'll take shitty drops and use weak weapons all day, so long as I get to game with him and the rest of you dudes. And I also didn't mean to imply that anyone should have to do anything God Tier (like go 50 and 0 in Crucible) to receive the guns and gear you guys have found. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being shocked as hell when you score a purple engram from a daily, and it turns out to be an Exotic. My beef is that those lucky drops seem to always go to the players who aren't even trying, or who don't contribute a fraction as much as their teammates. Is it Bungie's way of saying "oh, shit, this player kind of sucks... we better toss them a bone"? I don't know. Either way, I didn't mean to downplay your guys' sweet loot.

Lol.

Sorry you got downvoted for this man, it was funny. These guys are pussies. You guys can enjoy their music, but don't downvote this guy for being right.

Awesome. Ordered the pink as well. Now my ISIS LP collection will be complete!

Nice. Nabbed dat pink.

swag bitch

I ordered one from Amazon in August and it got here on Wednesday. Kinda regretting this purchase, especially with all the other pressings announced since then. How does it sound? Also, would anyone here be interested in the copy here if I decide against it. Figured it would be better than sending back to Amazon. Just what I paid and shipping. Thanks!

Tapes fucking suck

HA... HA HA HA. All that fucking talk by ESPN about the 49ers "locker room in turmoil" and Percy Gangbusters Harvin is beating people up in the Seattle locker room. ESPN couldn't be giving you more reasons to think they make this shit up.

There will be a really cool looking Hot Topic repress of this. It's in the works but no other info available right now. It will not be $30 either.

Just to get this straight..what price range are you looking for? I always wanted to own this album but always jumped off when the prices got beyond 90-100$..plus most time I have to add 20$ shipping to Europe. So if you want to get rid of this for a fair price you can definitely hit me up

as of today, my collection is complete

no such thing with bullmoose... they can't even be bothered to ship to Canada and we're on the same continent. *see signature

Daydreaming about spending my afternoon with Taylor Swift and 100 kittens. Getting zero work done.

I wish team America world police would get a pressing.

I agree, the Vinyl Collective is full of dumb posts.

Since I posted about it in secret santa, a few people have asked about my half sleeve: Didn't have anyone to take it for me, so it's just a bunch of shitty photobooth pictures, sorry. Done by Kelly Doty My most recent one is this:

Bet that left him with a constant headache.

I didn't check Popsike, I looked at NSR's Completed Listings on eBay. I don't know when the Popsike listing was from, but I also can't find any other completed listings for it on eBay.

Couldn't disagree more, personally. TBK and Seer are way more accessible and interesting than their older stuff. If I had listened to Filth first, I doubt I'd be a Swans fan today.

It's only a crappy thing to do if she pitched the idea to them, then they said, "Nah, we're cool," then ended up doing the same type of thing anyway. If you're explaining everything correctly, it sounds like they had the idea, went to an artist who has created something similar to see if she would be interested, then probably had an internal discussion that essentially amounted to "We can do this in-house and save money." This shit happens all the time and it's not illegal or immoral. This is the life of a freelancer. You're constantly chasing down work that may or may not be there. Your friend didn't get fucked, and regardless of whether or not TWLOHA is sketchy (I happen to think they are too, but that's neither here nor there), there is absolutely nothing here to blame them for.

She didn't even do any work for them, if I'm reading your posts correctly. They hit her up about doing something, she asked about the terms/scope of the project, they bailed and decided to do it in-house (or with someone else). There is nothing shady about this. Now had they asked her to create mockups or something, then bailed, then ended up producing something that looked very similar to her mockups for them, yeah, that is intellectual property theft. This is nothing.

Why is this thread still active? He didn't have the guts to do it himself. Holden Caufield would have a field day with this phony.
