No this story does not have to do that. It has to do with Trump not being held accountable for all the lies that he told, so we are going to continue to see him lie as president. He has falsely claimed that he stopped something from occurring which he in fact did not, nor were there plans for it to occur. It was the same all the way through his campaign - lie after lie, without any accountability. If you don't believe that Trump is a bigot, xenophobe or misogynist by now, you haven't been listening. I'm not going to try to convince you - I fall into the group @rds categorizes as 'too lazy' to prove it. I find it ironic that so many Trump supporters keeps saying 'prove it' when it comes to any criticism of him and others in his camp, but don't doubt the claims that he makes, which are easily proven false. Are you sure he wasn't just booed for being Kanye?

Green vinyl is back up for the moment.... https://metallica.com/store/htsd/10693/hardwired-to-self-destruct-green-colored-vinyl

SO, how do I sum up last night. Man, still don't have the words. I think I'm going to have to wait till my vacation is over, and use the time to gather my thoughts. As always I have tons of news for you, guys. In the mean time, I'll just leave you with one solitary picture for you all to be jealous over. Getting to hear Q/F/F for just me and my girlfriend:

You know what else I would like? If Trump started trying to act like an adult instead of a 4 year old.

What kind of adults are we trying them as? I would gladly replace a lot of adults with a 4 year old.

I picked up the reissue of Green and it sounds really really good

RSD Get Behind Me Satan sounds good. It's the original pressing that doesn't live up to its collectible price.

AND I should add.... to be my own devil's advocate.... Had Trump not won, it's not like any of this would be any different. His platform gave people a voice, but he didn't put the words in their mouths.... The problem exists regardless of who is in charge. It's a matter of what you're doing about the problem. I'd honestly say I don't know that Hillary would have done anything about it, non-racist/non-homophobic/non-xenophobic America would have continued to pretend everything is fine for another four years.

I laughed. Brings up an important point. I don't think Trump is a white supremacist, or the majority of his voters. If Bannon isn't then he certainly associates with them and their ideals. 50% of the US is not racist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. But if you are encouraging a rhetoric that gives validation to those that ARE, then you are contributing to a society that is racist, homophobic, xenophobic, etc. You don't have to be a bad person to let bad things happen. EDIT: To be clear, "50% of the US is not ...", I'm not saying 50% is and 50% isn't. I'm saying that people are assuming all Trump supporters are racist... etc etc, that's simply not true.

They started doing this thing in Buffalo called Thursday Night Terrors. It's pretty cool. Tickets are cheap too, only $7 bucks. Once a month they show a horror movie on the big screen. Last night was Phantasm II. They have a couple of vendors set up selling t-shirts/toys/etc., and a raffle. Grabbed a few tickets to the raffle last night and won! I was so happy haha. The next and final one for the season is The Thing on 12/15. Can't wait! My prize pack included: - IT (Bluray) - Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors NECA figure - Mystery Horror Funko (which ended up being the Jason/Roy Part 5) - A few other small trinkets (Silver Shamrock pog thing, Nightmare on Elm Street Marbles)

These news stories about dumb kids doing dumb kid bullshit is a by-product of their personal living conditions. This type of hatred has been ingrained in them for years, not over the last couple weeks. Let's place the blame where it actually belongs, on their shitty parents.

I take offense that you assume my compass is just "lying around" I use that sucker daily!

incidentally a very 2016 thing to do

But did you listen to the record?

Chime in about their customer service... Mo and Roxy are amazing!! Always responsive /helpful

Let's all just go to our respective garages and calm down.

New band featuring members of Loma Prieta, Beau Navire and Yearbooks. http://conditionsrecords.com/webstore/37516424 http://www.avclub.com/article/listen-elles-blistering-debut-ep-featuring-members-246018

Rumors swirling today about a third version coming to Switch that could take advantage of the beefier system.

Yes, it's irrelevant to my comments on the quality of the artwork. Try reading the entire post.

It's back up. They must be calling the pressing plant and increasing the pressing number?

My son is 4 and non-verbal and definitely forms his own thoughts.

well that's a relief.

Is it time yet to rename this thread?

It looks like the overcooked yolk of a hardboiled egg.

No because that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. I see the point you're trying to make, but it's irrelevant.

Down to 3 pending preorders! Will I ever make it to zero? Set and Setting is tempting me...

This is up on Amazon now for people who don't want a bundle Amazon link

NXT Boston was incredible. Great matches across the board. I'm very excited for Takeover. Match of the night was definitely Roderick Strong against Cedric Alexander. It was great from start to finish.

Mike Felumlee is a nice dude. Pick this up if you are on the fence.

Thank you. Finally gave in on this. That price though, ugh! The new norm.

I'll stick with my first on black.

Agreed. They both rock. Mo actually just went out of his way to help me out with something which was beyond awesome of him.

Yes. Here Be Dragons will follow next year as well.

Stoked for Khemmis, deserve all accolades for this album

I forgot about it until now. I only used it a bit but I remember it being good.

You guys remember Oink?

How about you sell me any color of Happiness....

You're welcome! Enjoy! You should really take pictures though! It's required! Haha. Many of us put forth some pretty awesome effort and it gets everyone pumped for theirs. Also, I included some nunchucks in there as well...you know, in case anyone comes near your records you don't approve. Merry xmas. Edit: those prints and posters are all local to North Carolina. They are shows I attended. And I did see you like the Annuals. I dig them as well. My wife's band used to open for those dudes before they branched out. Glad you enjoy everything.

New SELF-TITLED album being released January 27th on Drag City as per NPR: http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2016/11/15/502037276/ty-segall-announces-new-album-shares-orange-color-queen?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nprmusic&utm_term=music&utm_content=2042 First song is the largely acoustic Orange Color Queen. Some of you may remember it from the Ty/Cory Hanson acoustic pickathon video. REALLY looking forward to this album! Toned-down Ty is best Ty.

You know what I have to say about that.

Because Canada.

Well. I received my SS package yesterday and I have absolutely NO self control. So... It was opened immediately. Whoever you are, oh my lawd. You made my year. Seriously. How did you know to get THESE records out of my massive want list ..? I will never know but I am so thankful because they were literally the top priority records to get. And to get color variants of every single ONE!? I might have cried a little. You are so kind and you have no idea how happy you made me. Not to mention, I think we are wrapping twins. I love kraft brown paper for wrapping and your hand stamped paper was the cutest thing I have ever seen. And your little Christmas berry on top? You better believe I am saving all of that like a hoarder. Basically you're the best. BUT. You left me with ZERO clues!? How am I supposed to guess?? I literally have no idea, but forgive me men if you are crafty, I am going to guess it was a girl because of the wrapping love. DANIONLY IS IT YOU!? I will update if for any reason I come up with some sort of revelation of who it might be, but for now I am sticking with Dani. Thank you a million. You are the sweetest. Thank you thank you! <3

This is a little late, but- A FUCKING IPAD?!?! Seriously? I thought I did pretty alright with my Secret Santa, and I added a couple of sentimental things, so overall- I hope he/she isn't disappointed. I received mine yesterday, but, like last year, I refuse to open it until Christmas week. Side note: I'm not sure if anyone has gotten all sappy about the whole SS thing in a bit, but I was talking to the lady last week while putting things into a box and she asked "what the hell are you doing?". To which I replied, "Secret Santa, of course." She thought this community was the coolest, most amazing thing in the world. I told her about how all kinds of people (who have only had a number of online conversations, come together for so much stuff (conversation, opinion, etc), and instead of her thinking I was a giant nerd, she thought it was just so awesome. Dear Vinyl Collective Board, I truly love you all. You are better than the bees knees and the cats pajamas.
