Same. Was never a huge fan but the show tonight blew me away. Bravo, Mr. Reznor, you finally converted me to be a NIN fan

Sad to see that there's not a lot of love for Grant Hart on VC. Husker Du meant a lot to me when those records came out in the 80s---especially Zen Arcade and New Day Rising. The records still hold up well and blow away 90% of what has followed. My biggest music regret is never seeing Husker Du live. I had so many opportunities to see them and never went. Stupid.

I just read this entire thread. Fiancée and I started watching Twin Peaks last month, and we finished FWWM when season 3 ended. Last night we binged like episode 13-17. We had to fall asleep before watching part 18 and I'm DYING. We're def watching the finale first thing when she gets back. Season 3 has definitely been my favorite part of the series. I couldn't help but laugh at people saying how bad FWWM was (tbf it's my least fav part of the saga) earlier in the thread since season 3 seems to connect more with FWWM than the rest of the series (which is crazy). I kinda was on the fence at first but now I'm all for it.

My first NIN show tonight. Faced the stage the entire time. It was so damn great... ahhh still winding down.

looks awesome, almost like a hand-pour

I'm very happy with how the Standard Edition came out as well. The Random-Colors I've opened so far have been pretty stunning.

Pretty much. I'll probably spend the next few days packing up all initial orders, but these are in hand and ready to go.

Shipleys post on the Numero home page is gutwrenching http://www.numerogroup.com/ Grantzberg Vernon Hart MARCH 18, 1961 - SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 Grant Hart would have loved the aftermath of his own death. Furious text messaging in the middle of the night seeking confirmation and commiseration. Condolences from acquaintances and media outlets who haven’t come out of the woodwork in years. Emails from the Associated Press at 4:45AM. The clamoring for details. When and where? What kind of cancer? He loved to stir the peanut butter. Actively sought the circus, metal or otherwise. To know him was to… I’m not sure “love him” is the right choice of words. I had a ton of respect for the guy. I enjoyed his company. I certainly liked him. Is there a word to describe that region between love and like? It’s impossible not to love/like a guy who sends you a Bob Mould diss Someecard at 2:47AM. How can you not love/like someone who insists on a high end sushi restaurant for your first meal together and then promptly orders enough food to cover his next two meals. Grant was tortured for sure, but he had a hell of a lot of fun bringing you in on the joke, even if you were part of the punchline. I began chasing him in the summer of 2010. Getting him on the phone was impossible: Call once, hang up, call again hang up. If he wanted to talk, he’d pick up on the third ring. Email was the best way to reach him, his replies speedy and thoughtful. I’d never even been to Minneapolis the first time we met in a dark, closed downtown hotel bar that he’d somehow finagled away for us to meet in. It was August—which in Minnesota means hot and muggy. He suggested a trip to the lake to cool off, and guided my rented P.T. Cruiser through residential twists and turns to a place I would later find out was called Hidden Beach by locals. We stripped down to our underwear and began wading out and were soon neck deep. He turned to me and asked, “Do you know where we are?” And I had no idea. “This is where I shot the cover for New Day Rising.” It was one of those moments where you know you’re not the first to experience it, that he’d taken several people out swimming on Cedar Lake while the sun was setting and then used their connection to his past to cement a relationship. But it sure felt special in that moment. That was the real Grant Hart, disarming and masterminding all at once. He green-lit the project shortly after. Things began arriving in the mail shortly after, with no rhyme or reason. An original print of the earliest Hüskers promo photo. The slides for Metal Circus. A CD-R of his long-gestating double album The Argument. A gigantic Land Speed Record poster. He was nothing if not generous. Grant came to town to play an under-attended gig at Martyr’s in the dead of winter, his alligator skin boots held together with duct tape barely keeping his feet from frostbite. On our break room table he sketched out what would become the first official Hüsker Dü project in more than 25 years and then asked to be dropped at the train station. A few days later, an email arrived: “Great to see you this weekend. It could have been longer, the meal better, etc. But it was good. After recovering from the shock of the news I started to picture how I think the demos record should look. I see a very colorful, optimistic, almost new wave look. I think this will fit well with the material. As a nod to [Terry] Katzman I think calling it Savage Young Dü is good.” The next five years moved at a snail’s pace. We somehow managed to get an expanded 2x7” version of their debut single out, but with the band embroiled in a lawsuit the breaks were pumped on anything considered non-essential business. And yet, my relationship with Grant continued in the background. We traded messages every few months, almost always prompted by him. He always asked about my kids and somehow remembered my daughter’s name. “How’s Clementine?” he’d ask. He always called when he came to town, as if I was the only person he knew in Chicago. “I’m down at the train station, come pick me up,” he’d say. When asked why he didn’t give me a little notice on his arrival, he’d reply: “If you don’t know when my next gig is, you’re not paying close enough attention.” We didn’t pick the project back up until late 2015. The emails were no longer in ALL CAPS. He was less erratic, more thoughtful. Something was different. I went up to Minneapolis in the spring of 2016 to pick up all the master tapes and files that he’d been threatening to let me take for half a decade, and while sharing a moment in the sun, he turned into me and said, “I’ve got cancer.” But he didn’t dwell. Instead he told me about the two wonderful developments in his life. He’d finally met someone worth staying with and he wanted to marry her. Her name was Brigid. And after many years estranged from his son, the two had reconciled and were speaking regularly. We hugged at parting, his stubbly face scratching my neck. When I got home, this was waiting in my inbox: “By the way, I feel very positive about beating this thing in my guts. Your meditations undoubtably help. I have a whole monastery full of Carmelites praying thanks to Brigid's mother, and yes...even doctors.” As the box went into development his correspondence increased. “New old material is being discovered every week,” he wrote. “This will continue for the rest of MY life, at least. I insist that we proceed with what we have according to plan and not delay the November release while waiting for any Holy Grails to materialize.” The last time I saw Grant was in March of this year. I was in Minneapolis to gather a few more bits and bobs and scheduled time to go to dinner. He wanted pizza and suggested Red’s Savoy in downtown St. Paul. He ordered enough to have leftovers the next day. He was a bit gaunt, but wisecracking and flirting with the waitress all the while. This time we shook hands at the end. He was too weak for a hug. When plans were made to fly out to the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle to pour through his archives, he wanted to join. But when it came time to go, he suddenly cooled to the idea and withdrew from the project entirely. “Can you get it out before I go?” he asked. I’m sorry we failed, Grant. We pushed as hard as we could to get this beast into the wild, but it wasn’t hard enough. You told me several times that you thought the material was subpar, that there were too many photos of Greg Norton, and insisted we change the title at the last moment just to see everyone scramble. And now it’s two months to the release date and everyone is sad and asking a million questions. It’s chaos down here and you’re probably looking down with your arms crossed, a gigantic, mischievous grin running ear to ear. Just a boy living on Heaven Hill. —Ken Shipley, September 14, 2017

Is having your email spammed for eternity by Popmarket, regardless of how many times you unsubscribe or complain to customer service, really worth saving a few bucks on this box?

I am really tired of them playing hurt. He cant quite convey what he did with this song on the downward spiral or bowie tour I am also hoping they tour in 2019 by playing the fragile in its entireity for 20 years

So I think I'm ready to let go of my Horror Section collection. I just don't have the space anymore so I'm going to try and downgrade a lot off my collection. I've got all three pressings of The Prowler 7", as well as the special screen printed box set for the release /30, containing all three pressings. I have a test press for their split with Eastern Back To Life, as well as the regular press, and all colors for the first two pressings of Season Of The Witch.

Where's that small club show in Chicago going to be??

Trent is a bit weird with it. He openly admits he is sick of playing the song, and has also alluded to Head Like a Hole being the same. Yet he has some other "hits" that he never plays. Apparently he mentioned in the Q&A that he won't ever be playing The Perfect Drug, he's shunned starfuckers inc, barely plays The Day the World Went Away etc. Sure they aren't as big "hits", but I think a lot of casual listeners would know them.

I caved, went into my local shop this morning, he had them there and one sort of left with me

just ordered the white vinyl exlusive for mediamarkt and saturn in germany. no more infos about how many are produced.. https://www.saturn.de/de/product/_marilyn-manson-heaven-upside-down-ltd-white-vinyl-exklusiv-rock-vinyl-2330535.html update: must be the indie version! https://www.jottemrecordshop.com/a-49652802/pop-rock/marilyn-manson-heaven-upside-down-indie-only-white-vinyl/

Definitely going to try and grab a copy. That Wax Mage looks unreal!

Snagged these, thanks!

Added some new photos to the first post. The Standard Edition is Randomly Colored vinyl, so each copy will be different. The Deluxe Edition is really hard to take a good photo of, but it is truly stunning. A must-see indeed!

Use code IRMARIOT for free shipping at smart punk. Also, I wish S1D would stop posting partial pressing info. They know damn well many collectors are shooting for the most limited variant. Post all pressing info or none.

Got the orange. Like the contrast with the blue cover. Everyone pick up any Killtime releases still in the store. They rock!!!!

Big Scary Monsters is doing pay what you want on their Bandcamp right now, and they have some BANGERS! https://bsmrocks.bandcamp.com/

Anyone buying The Used themed condoms in 2017 will have zero use for them. The ultimate consumer paradox.

We need a remix, not a remaster. The lack of bass is in the stereo mix, so no amount of mastering is going to fix it. The album desperately needs a new mix and release it alongside the original mix so that no-one can say revisionism is bad as they wouldn't be trying to replace it. Hopefully the original multitracks are in good shape. Heck if they managed to find the original PRE-bounce tapes for Sgt Peppers 50 years later to create new stereo and 5.1 mixes, there's hope for AJFA.

New Chaos Moon album teaser with art work by Wrest vinyl through Blood Music and Fallen Empire due around November Just listened to Resurrection Extract and it slays

Super good, super intense...

I don't think its a criticism of collectors in general more just a criticism of the attitude that the guy feels he deserves one as a result of his previous collecting habit or that they shouldn't have done it at all to save them from going to non variant collectors. Ultimately doing an under 200 run on a variant for a band this size was bound to ruffle feathers as inevitably people who got lucky may not be "ultra fans" and many non completists who get their hands on this would inevitably wind up flipping it because of the crazy prices the after market is producing. I mean if I got a record that I already own that people were willing to pay 500 bones for free of charge I'd have a hard time justifying not selling it. I feel for those of you who missed out because it is undoubtedly annoying when you have one missing piece from a complete set but ultimately a band you love did something nice here, the idea that your collection being incomplete is an injustice is silly. I'd wager everyone on here has missed out on at least one item and felt the frustration of exorbitant after market profiteering. It goes with the territory of collecting. Being disappointed that a band even made this little special thing just because it disrupts your complete collection is just petty.

I've been on a bit of punk kick recently. Love the name of this song lol

Michael Cera as Lucy and Andy's son. Calling it.

Don't know if I already posted this but wouldn't it be cool? I did all the editing on my phone so sorry for the lack of quality.

All caught up now. I'm still loving it. Although so far I'd say the first 2 episodes have been better than 3 and 4. Episode 4 had so many good people in it though too so that was awesome. Also, as hilarious as "mistaken identity Dale" is, I really hope he isn't like that for half of the season.
