I like how much this sounds like Trump wrote it.

You'd think that would be true. But, then again, if someone is making 7 Fraggle Rock variants with a CD-R master... who even knows anymore.

Why would this be fake? Who is bootlegging low-mid level emo albums from the mid 2000s?

I'd say to him "hey, you're pretty smart. Good on you." I don't know why people care so much about what other people do with the things they own. I mean, the record store might have paid the original owner 10 bucks for that record for all anyone knows. This happens way more at record stores / trade-in places than you would think. They will take advantage. A lot of people own stuff that is worth money and don't even know it because people are stupid. Point is - that record store isn't necessarily any less unscrupulous than someone who potentially spent 150 bucks on it to flip somewhere else. Once you take ownership of something, you can do whatever you want with it.

the leaked DNC emails prove that hillary, the DNC, and major news outlets (NBC, CBS, etc...) conspired together to ensure the nomination went to hillary and not bernie. SAD! although i disagree with comrade bernie on many things, i think it's important to have a fair platform to nominate candidates for office. truly a rigged system.

If they linked directly to your pic, replace it with a dong pic.

I'm in the minority I guess, cuz I straight skip Los Angeles. Song is awful.

well, at least you can use it as an actual bowl for plums now.

it is a pretty big omission

I'd almost rather have Trump than Clinton. Almost.

I never said it was supposed to sound like any other RC album. I simply stated that it was the only mix of a RC record that I felt didn't suit the record. I feel that the mix made the album sound plastic-y and more like it was mixed for iPod consumption and less for full stereo system/floor speaker consumption. It didn't have a very natural sound which I will say that other RC album mixes do have and I feel that natural sounding mix suits their music but I never said it needed to sound like any other specific RC album. Though it would have served Memorial to have a mix or even a tracking similar to Enter. Geneva may have their best mix yet though I am partial to the extremely naturalistic mix of Enter but what I'm hearing from Guidance is proving to be a pretty excellent mix. I'll have to hear it in full on CD or LP to fully judge it though. I guess I just wish the mixing style for Memorial had been more naturalistic but could very well have that plus its own feel separate from the other albums' mixes.

The DNC seem to get more crooked every day!

Weird. I got $4 media mail shipping last night but they aren't offering it today. I emailed KRM and they said the orders from last night went through.

So this whole Debbie Wasserman Schultz thing....

I hear Morello and Commerford banging out a rage track but the vocals just sound like they can't keep up (also a complete lack of passion that Z has.) I wanted to like it.

Galena

This. Also wanted to express my freakin love of Travis' parts on the record. The man hasn't lost it one bit. And as a drummer I think I base a lot of my opinion on the drum parts and how sweet they are. No Future intro / Cynical intro (including the mistake) = Travis jus being Travis, loved every moment. Seems like every time a favorite band of mine changes drummers or loses a long time drummer, I can always tell. And more often than not those albums always seem to flop to me. One exception? Freakin ETID. Daniel seems to be KILLIN it on the new tracks from Low Teens.

You, my friend, have made an excellent decision.

Dance your cares away, slice that wrist another day!

as the person who initially made that now semi-popular comparison, i would just like to say that it was made to compliment both Wesley Willis and Mark Kozelek. i am a huge fan of both of those guys.

Seriously. Bootleg vinyl and fake boobs have a lot in common for me. I prefer the real thing but I'll take what I can get.

"Super bent corners".....but still listenable..... Hmmm

People always need something to bitch about.

Banner ads.

Decided that I wanted to add one more to that Pop Market Black Sabbath order (couldn't believe I had forgot to get Vol. 4) so I contacted them and asked if they could update my order because I wanted to get it added to that 20% discount. The person who responded said they couldn't make any adjustments to an order once it's placed (weird) but they did give me an even better discount code good for 30% off. I can't say if it'll work for anyone else after I used it, but it definitely worked last night. PMLOVE is the code, if anyone is interested in trying. I ended up getting Black Sabbath Vol. 4 for $12.60 shipped.

Taking offers on both records. Each played only once. Shipping is $3.50 Circa Survive - Juturna 10th Anniversary Edition - Orange/White The Used - Self Titled - Black - 2x LP

Reckless Records gets DC tapes sometimes. They have the LP in store apparently. I'd keep an eye on their site.

Fuck it; bought it.

Is that deal still going on? Love me some Gang Beasts. Always have so much fun playing it at my buddy's house.

White Mystery!

Somehow I never listened to their previous stuff, so this is literally the first or second song I've heard from them. With that in mind, not super impressed.

The expanded edition of Let's Talk About Love is one of the best books I've ever read on the subject of music criticism. Ive read a bunch of these that are really light straightforward recountings of the writing and recording process. Endtroducing, Paul's Boutique, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and Double Nickels on the Dime are all fun reads. I would not recommend Born in the USA. As someone who's read a lot of books on Springsteen, I'd say the author of the 33 1/3 book gives worthless insight and has dumb opinions.

That was already posted in the last page of this thread.

Scott saw them play at the RNC in Cleveland. The video's he posted on FB were pretty sweet, but I feel like Chuck D and B-Real don't have the same flow that Zach has/had. Not that they're not great, because I do enjoy them fronting, but Zach just has a different sound than them that is just ingrained in my brain whenever I hear any Rage song.

looking at the song with my 16 year old pop punk tumblrcore goggles: the song sucks looking at it now: the song is ok

They really could just put out a press release like "Fuck you. The fuck you gonna do, not play?" any time anything fucks up

The joke songs are hilarious, and "Los Angeles" is one of the better songs on the album after a few listens.

Check out that thread but I have a U-Turn Audio that is a little over $150 and have no complaints about it.

Confirmed. This is fake. You'll only receive the sleeve & no vinyl. Like the time I ordered a human head from Eastbay & all they sent me was a stupid hat. Always read the fine print.

After 193 hours...

Finished off Norwegian Wood and the newest Saga tpb. On to Dance Dance Dance now and I was happy to be revisiting an old friend

Well? Which flavor Airhead did you get?

I love when an even shittier band than the detritus most of VC listens to shows up and all of a sudden this is music snob land.

When I was a new member I didn't take peoples shit and stood up for myself basically alot of people like to fuck with new members and I wasn't gonna keep my mouth shut. And when I first had a sales thread on here people reemed me about my prices I had no idea what median value was I bought most of my records on Ebay for crazy prices and was trying to get what I paid for them back. So I had a ton of people that would downvote every single post I made for a while it sucked but it is what it is, I'm not an asshole I don't go around starting drama or treating people like shit, so anytime a newbie is getting messed with I say something because this is supposed to be a community.

Is he famous for overcharging on shipping or something?

Make that money @stl_ben / trade bait all around.

Lol at OP being scared of being lambasted on liberal VC.
