As shitty as that is, I'm grateful that the moderators had the decency to ban him, and I quite enjoy not having to read his posts. I also like to imagine him staring longingly at this thread while shivering on the outside, in the same irrelevant isolation as the bots and guests who can't be bothered to register. I'm confident he's still frequenting this thread on the off-chance a mystery batch will pop up, allowing him to grab a few more to flip. That being said – hi, Halo 2. Just wanted to remind you that you're a shitty tryhard dork of a pasty white kid, and your terrible tastes and ethics are a byproduct of the fact your parents never loved you. Happy holida[aayy]ys.

Just left the tattoo shop and made an appt for Thursday at 6pm...super excite.

Point 1. Haha! Point 2. Exactly. For the record, there are non-black color variants that I AM fond of. But I find most color variants to be over the top and annoying looking. I also hate that there are records that are released in more than 4 variants and nowhere in there could they fit a black one. I also think that pressing on 180g and higher is an irresponsible waste of materials. I like many of the albums that they have exclusives for. I just don't like their tactic and I like even less that it works so well.

also this is on youtube now:

with some new represses in......i have taken an updated collection pick on my Amity Affliction and Northlane stuff Next up is Alexisonfire when Crisis Anniversary arrives in Aus

This just got repressed!! On another alt cover with a pretty cool matching variant. http://solidstate.merchnow.com/products/v2/245207/messengers-blackorange Only 500 available, pretty sure. They'll go pretty quick!

That's my hope.

To my ears, they are not bad, but nothing stands out as unique or worthy of owning vinyl. Certainly better than 98% of the musical universe, but... milquetoast postrock 3-4/10. How did Lost In Kiev get dragged into a Pray For Sound thread??? Except to say there is a polarity of like vs dislike of the music by postrock fans, which is the total subjectivity of muscial taste to begin with. I don't see them anywhere near each other in the postrock spectrum re: sound. Nuit Noire has reached 8.5/10 for sure, while pg.lost has sort of stalled around 7.5-8/10. This is about my threshold for purchasing vinyl in the past couple of years.

tracking showed my two bundles got delivered Friday. looked everywhere and no package. waited a couple days went to the PO and asked about it there. they just told me to file a claim then this morning someone buzzes my apartment and lo and behold they have my box! stupid USPS man delivered it a whole 10 buildings down from mine. smh. so glad some kind person noticed it sitting there and decided to bring it to me 10" Consumed - Breakfast at Pappa's Snuff - Blue Gravy Swingin Utters - The Sounds Wrong EP 12" Against Me! - From Her Lips to God's Ears Avail - Front Porch Stories Bracket - Live in a Dive Diesel Boy - Venus Envy Dogpiss - Eine Kleine Punkmusik Fluf - Road Rage Fabulous Disaster - Put Out Or Get Out Joey Cape - Bad Loud Joey Cape - Doesn't Play Well With Others Old Man Markley - Down Side Up Only Crime - To The Nines Screeching Weasel - Bark Like a Dog Screeching Weasel - First World Manifesto Strung Out - Prototypes and Painkillers Sundowner - Neon Fiction Tilt - Viewers Like You pretty stoked this actually turned up! especially considering what wound up being in that box. a few things I already have, a few things I need to give a listen to and see how I feel about them, but def a lot of keepers in there. and @curator this was also in there and you get first dibs as promised

So it started with the idea of just us dudes auctioning off our own personal records for charity but quickly morphed into other labels wanting to get involved since it's all for a good cause. Recordnerdz first official charity auction! All proceeds will go to Planned Parenthood. Rare records and test pressings from Fugazi, Jimmy Eat World, Sun Kil Moon and a lot more. . Special thanks to the bands and labels who donated some great stuff. http://bit.ly/RecordNerdz

To be fair you basically hate all colored vinyl, McPherson. That's like your VC shtick. But yeah, Newbury is all about annoyingly charging steep prices for a colored variant of records that are readily available for cheap, and this is no exception. I actually imported a colored variant of this same album over a year ago, and even with international shipping it was cheaper than NC's base price.

Here's hoping I find a hundo laying around somewhere!

In Carpenter Brut (but still not the repress) news, new North American headline tour announced.

To be fair, the discogs prices for the EP are hardly "inflated." I was expecting different when I clicked the link. The markup after shipping paid for the PO isn't even $10.

Who cares what people decide to do with their own copies on another site? They wanted a copy when they were available, had the funds, bought it, and for some reason when the pre-order finally arrived (yes, it was a couple months, not an insta-buy) they decided they would like to sell it (for idk, maybe xmas presents? medical expenses? who knows?) so what? might as well start pointing fingers at everyone on discogs selling anything limited that was released recently (or all-time for that matter) because fuck them and what ever is happening in their lives, right? survive/stranger things are hyped to shit right now if anyone hasn't already noticed and this repress probably wouldn't exist without that rise in popularity. yea, it wasn't a lot of copies to go around but you can't jump to grabbing pitchforks when people/shops don't sell records to you and/or your friends, directly, at absolute retail pricing, after it is sold out and in relatively high demand. It would be nice and sometimes it does happen, but unfortunately that is not the world we currently live in.

seconding this! although I am one of the assholes waiting until xmas to open mine haha. but I want to live vicariously through all your awesome gifts in the meantime

Whoa, Sunday delivery! I was expecting it to be there today! Well, I'm stoked to see you're excited about everything and I'm glad it reached you safely! Enjoy! Merry Christmas!

When I get the other three in I will do a full, out of sleeves photo.

https://www.hhv.de/shop/en/item/blue-sky-black-death-x-s-a-s-celestial-deluxe-blue-colored-vinyl-edition-487634 Anything BSBD touches is gold, only 500 copies so I'd jump on it if you're a hip hop fan.

BUMP If you want Beloved, speak now! I'll be finalizing the sale tomorrow.

I do love me some BSBD, but I can't get into anything that they have artists perform over. Getting lost in the hazy soundscapes of NOIR is something magical, and I guess it's just spoiled me – I feel like vocal deliveries are such a distraction on top of their music. Stoked for those who are stoked on this, though.

ITTCT is embarrassingly high, but outside of that I spy a lot of stellar picks on that list. On the subject of lists, the lady forwarded this list to me the other day – and pointed out that some of the comments were quick to point out a lack of Caspian – but I thought it was an interesting read. I feel like it's a little more favorable of late 90 and early 00 acts, but still good stuff.

Sweet! Nabbed one! I was bummed I missed out on the last repress.

CBL has a track on this compilation, limited to 300 https://mysticquantum.bandcamp.com/album/visions-compilation

You guys ever find yourself trying to feign attention but feel the sudden urge to yawn, and sort of have an internal battle with your jaw to keep it closed for fear of showing disrespect or lack of interest?

My fav shows of the year, in no particular order. Prince at The Oracle Arena in Oakland (2 weeks before his passing) Black Sabbath at The Oracle Arena in Oakland PUP at the Rickshaw Stop in SF Tool at Bill Graham Center in SF At The Drive in At The Warfield in SF Chic at The Fox Theater in Oakland Dillinger Escape Plan at Thee Parkside in SF (Last time at the smallest god damn place I've ever seen them in) Skeletonwitch w/ Iron Reagan and Oatbreaker

The TDS 5.1 mix is absolutely amazing, so a The Fragile 5.1 mix is worth waiting for.

I'm looking out west as well - Portland was pretty fun, and maybe I'm odd for thinking this, but it felt like a very small, comfortable city. Wouldn't mind living there for a bit. Seems like the midwest is just going that direction of slow growth or even decline, sadly. Good luck to you on the job and house-front! Stretch those legs!

I listened to my copy of Year Zero today, and holy crap does it sound fantastic. I don't see how Trent can improve on the original pressing, but I'm looking forward to finding out if he can.

Fuck it, why not?

Don't you get sick of buying the same couple records over and over again?

Sweet Jesus. Bravo!

Agree with Florence (saw her in 2015).

Pretty sure D thought they went out with posture and brightside but that came with the DTNY LLHB tape for me

I got the la la email as well. Super nice of them considering I was just happy to have secured the order.

I'm an idiot. Case is blue. Tape is clear.

I'm still waiting for that 5.1 mix, haha

Yeah, because I'm sure Amazon is on here regularly checking topics and correcting info based on what is here. lol

When we were talking about good albums from this year I forgot to say that the new Holy Serpent was one I had a lot of fun with.

I am excited with Deviations release, but would love to hear some vinyl treatment for Still sometime soon.

I would love to trade for some Jester King. I live in CO and can get anything from around here.

I hope they revisit some of the songs on this album live to coincide with this reissue. I'd love to hear The Kidnapper Bell live again. And hopefully finally hear Error #9 live.
