possibly the least funny post made in the history of the internet... i got so excited for a second until i read the post and saw it was just a troll post, now you owe me a new chair.

Tax return showed up today, so just paid off the last of my student loan. I'm not debt free, and it feels amazing. Now to get over this anxiety issue and get the fuck out of Ohio.

1st of two 3.5h sessions last week on this piece, starting to cover up my first tattoo. Second session early next month, can't wait to get this finished!

My copy just arrived and it sounds huge. Looks fantastic too. Side A: Side B

I made a few upgrades over the weekend (mcintosh c2500 and mt10 turntable). Couldnt be happier w/ my new setup and sound!

More work on my Weatherbox sleeve.

So curiosity got the better of me, and the best part is that "With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear" – while absolutely heinous, you're right – isn't even the name of an artist, but rather an album title by the band "Sleeping With Sirens". Peeked on Discogs and found the variant being sold, which has gone for $75 at most. Nice try, OP. But that didn't sate my curios mind. I had to know why someone could justify paying $75 for an album with such an atrocious title. Surely the music must be incredible – lesson learned. Yes. This is actually what is being peddled in this thread. Yes. This will completely fuck up your Youtube recommendations. Shame on you, Urielectric. For literally everything in this thread.

This would be a great ad for a credit card.

My wallet loosened but my pants tightened.

Its weird I know but I remember when this thread was relevant.

Nah man. Black vinyl won't wow the 80 people who will eventually watch their YouTube video where they hold up the 6 records they purchased in 2017 so far, slide the variants halfway out, and talk about their favorite track or where they ordered them.

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a sec...I think people are just disappointed their first pressing purchase, which was supposedly the only pressing of this, has turned out to not be the the only pressing and a newer, more limited, and perhaps more appealing pressing has appeared. That's understandable...to an extent. But think about this: I'm guessing most, if not all, of us here really like Mae and are excited they're putting out new music and seem to be active once again (<---focus on this last sentence, mostly). And if we're all being honest, we know being in Mae isn't financially lucrative and these guys more than likely make less money than many of us do here. With that in mind, I think them making available another 500 copies of the (m)(a)(e) album should be seen less a slap in the face/broken promise/misleading/whatever or however you feel...and more as a band making a decision most of us would make were we grown adults in a relatively small band like Mae--press some more copies and make a little more money (gasp) and make a few more folks happy who missed the first pressing. If that's going to help these guys continue making music and being an active band again, maybe we should all be willing to let go of the disappointment/deep betrayal we feel and see this for what it is: a band we love is making music again and that's a great reason to...let it go.

Huh, I guess I always assumed you were like 15 or something. I don't mean that in a mean way, just an observation. The opposite side of that is my experience. My wife and I got engaged when we were 21 and in our junior year at college. I thought it was cool that we got to grow together a bit before our personalities and interests became a bit more cemented, which studies show happens in your later 20s. So there's that. We were also broken up when I proposed. Our 3rd breakup over the course of about a year. It was the first serious relationship for either of us. And then we were only engaged for about 6 weeks before the wedding... Im realizing right now that I might not be the best person to give people relationship advice.

Yeah scheduled release is next friday so its way early. I may have got mine earlier as its an overseas order and as such i have glorious red coat privilege. Album is a total beast and will not disappoint.

Kinda like most of the people in this thread.

New song "Ravens":

April and AFP are amazing through and through for me. Among the Leaves and Benji were spotty, imo. Some great stuff some mediocre stuff that should have been cut. Universal Themes did nothing for me at all. Gonna give this a shot but my belief is faltering considering how off the wall a character this dude is.

Yeah, I messaged them about it and they said some Wednesdays they don't have any items that qualify for the steal. I set up an Outlook reminder for when I get into work so I don't forget to check. (Don't fucking judge me)

Is that a home-made "kallax"? The natural wood look is great.

James, new Portugal. The Man song coming next month. "Feel It Still" "Coming out next month. Shooting the video next week in portland " - John on Reddit. Best live version so far.

No real progress but Feb 2017 newsletter from Mylene Sheath says they're still cometh: "So we get at least one email everyday asking us if we're going to be pressing up the Jakob catalog on vinyl. We had announced that we would be doing it last year, but the schedules just didn't line up. But we have good news, the wheels are back in motion We'll be pressing the self-titled album, Subsets of Sets, Cale:Drew, and Solace - so be prepared, for they do indeed cometh. Stay tuned!"

I just finished my latest watch-through. Best thing about finishing Gilmore Girls is immediately starting it over again.

First day of work was awesome!! I got placed in the team I really wanted so I am set. Everyone seems to be pretty cool too so that's a bonus.

did the used ever have 1 giant hit? not really, all that i got came close but they never had 1 song that defined them and i think that is what helped to keep them so relavant and epic for 17 years.

Vegan and straight edge?? Hanging with a stoner butcher?? I love it.

This won't work for everyone but...get banned from VC for making threats to other members, come back immediately under a fake persona of a Russian scene kid whose dream is to backpack to the United States, give silly advice to someone asking for sincere advice, and you should feel great and fulfilled within seconds.

Understood! Heading out this evening to pick up a proper record cleaner.

Out of curiosity, I messaged Mae last night asking for clarification on the variant. Here's what I got... It’s on a clear base. It’s hard to say how this “smoke” effect will translate with the colors chosen. We’re crossing our fingers and hoping for the best! -MAE

I literally joined the board to ask Travis about getting an All Time Low album pressed...times have changed

I love the album personally. Every album always surpasses my greatest expectations. I'd rather be surprised then get another rehashing of what's predictable. Someone on sad reminders said "Listening to the samples now and it sounds less like a SKM album and more like MC Koz is dropping a mixtape." which I thought was funny.

Much appreciated. Really helps me work with new bands.

New one off Sensorimotor is live! In other news, and quite a bit different, but to coincide with the release of No Future, one of our team members spent the past several months working with a coder to build an interactive site for the album. Think the Gorillaz "Final Drive" Flash game from waaaay back in the day. Headphones/earbuds strongly recommended!

face it, you guys are a bunch of emos that don't understand art.

I've felt this way for years honestly. AFP is fucking beautiful. Even if I separate how crazy he is as an individual (which I can do easily) it's like he doesn't try anymore. He throws some improv standard instrumentation down and then reads a page out of his travel journal as fast as he can for 3 minutes.

Do you contribute to these boards at all or just take DL codes?

New Taffy looking pretty nice... (From Club AC30's FB)

I check the website every Wednesday morning.

Hey guys, what if "BagsUnlimited" sold limited bags?

We need Vegas to release the odds on if he gets the tape.

Official Music Video for A Cosmic Gift's song 'Blue Prism'!Very well made and not for the faint of heart! (NSFW)

Just nabbed a black copy. Discount code is sex. Thank you, Derek.

Takeout and Gilmore Girls. All night long.

Glad I got Rey when I did. I heard Sony's license expired with these, so I wonder if he'll do something for 4-6... Also, bumping to say congrats to John Williams on The Force Awakens for winning a Grammy the other night!

I was told they will go out this week FYI.

Even the cat is looking at that bag like 'what the fuck?"

Something something glass house something something throw stones...

Highly Refined Pirates?

ugh. that dude followed me on instagram, and will tag me in weird shit.... instablock.
