Oooohhh, politics in a Brand New thread. X-mas has come early. /s

This reads to me like an At the Drive In lyric for some reason.

This is getting so... c-c-c-c-controversial....

You seem like a very well-rounded individual who'd be a lot of fun at parties and social events.

OMG U GAIZ. SOOPER LIMITED GARBAGE VINYLS!!! LETS BUY DEM ALL!

Just when you thought this thread couldn't get any worse.

Luckily you've got a president who fights climate change with full force.

34 records in 4 years and calling an addiction is the equivalent of going to a drug rehab because you smoked a joint once.

Just got the purple/pink splatter!!! Looks beautiful! Hopefully it sounds just as good.

I hope the deluxe doesn’t show up for another couple months just so I can keep watching you all squirm.

Listening to this album makes me feel like the man.

https://chorus.fm/news/brand-new-again-confirm-their-end-in-2018/ Look what you guys did. Even the band wants to die after reading this thread.

Brand who?

For my own selfish peace of mind, I'd prefer to remain as ignorant as possible of the edgy political leanings of Brand New fans.

gtfo with your relevant and informative post.

As a non-american im not allowed to bring up a worldwide issue. Good to know. Never make this fault again. I guess my partly jokey comment went off sorry for that. Back to the topic now.

yeah because everything is perfect in the world's climate, so it's good to not sign the Paris-treaty along with Syria only (nice company) in the world, and keep pumping the fossil fuel industry and acting as it has nothing to with it...

We’ve done it....we’ve tracked down the one guy who still cares about CDs

Now this is the kind of content I hope to see when I click into a Brand New thread

Spinning my indie copy and there's a loud tic across every rotation during the beautiful part at the end of Out of Mana God damnit.

The jacket says Made in the Czech Republic on the back of all of them. Only II is a gatefold, I and III have an insert. All are on White Drugs... I is WHTDRGS-014 and II is WHTDRGS-015. What is a little confusing is that I has matrix ZE5357 and II has ZE5754. I'm not totally up with it all, but I think that might be Zenith here in Melbourne? Hope that's helpful!

Fart sounds.

Lakeshore Records announced that they will be releasing an anthology record for the Saw movies.

my white miasma showed up today from indie merch, that was fast.

Ha. I never knew there were so many uneducated Climatologists who are into vinyl.

Where did I say that? Also if you do some research you will see that Antarctica is gaining ice so that was a pretty bad example.

Global warming only effects America?! Sweet Ill call Antarctica and tell them they can stop worrying.

I purge my CD collection every so often and donate the ones I don't want to my local library. There's no reason to keep CDs I won't listen to again (this has mostly been cancelled out by having Spotify.) For records, I never want more than 200-250 (about 4 squares on a typical record shelf.) I no longer buy records just to buy them. I only get albums I love or when there's no other physical medium (sometimes from bands on bandcamp.)

To each their own, but you can get a second drive constantly creating a mirrored backup (RAID configuration) for 150$ and the rest of your cd sales is gravy.

Wait is this post for or against Trump?

Confirmed, LE. People are already starting to lose it in here.

HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING!!!!! (Yes, I am that excited).

Hold on, records come in black? This I gotta see.

If you ever wanna part with it you know who to contact!

1/2 the collection is Yellowcard and the other 1/2 is Zebrahead

Most Grammy albums are shit so....

It's over 100 degrees today in SoCal and my poor Brand New record from UO is just sitting in the sun on my porch baking right now. Hope it's not too warped by the time I make it home.

you can play the frames for unreleased songs as well! just an FYI from one VC'er to another.

I still have about 600 CDs...they're in boxes. In the walk in closet. Behind the clothes. Never to be taken out of the boxes pretty much.

"Kids, I don't want to worry you, but Santa might not make it this Christmas. Daddy's 'bonus' has been delayed at the factory."

You don’t understand the love it’s getting, but think it lived up to the hype? also, didn’t a website share that the deluxe/limited would have some sort of fabric-bound cover? Thought I remember reading that somewhere?

If I was on the fence about plunking down a quarter of a grand, before shipping, on a box set like this (I'm not), I'd want black wax as well. I'd want to maximize my chances of getting good sounding records and Mondo don't want to field any returns because the blood spattered sweater stripe with silver streaks vinyl has pressing quality issues. Which it would.

It sounds really great on my crosley!

I hope the webstore vinyl ships soon! I'll probably end up going to Best Buy day of and picking it up on CD regardless. I haven't been listening to the songs released after Heart From Your Hate as I don't want to spoil the record. Nevertheless, I am beyond excited.

If it's your first fest, my advice is: - pace yourself! It's a marathon, not a race. - take plenty of water/ food/ rest breaks. - diddley will never cap out, but a lot of the smaller venues will (esp high dive, Atlantic, wooly, Loosey's) and double especially for secret sets. Get there early if it's a must-see. - be flexible. Your plans will change and you won't wind up seeing every band you want to. - eat tacos at flacco's and a gator burrito at Boca. Also hit up the hot dog cart. - if you buy a lot of merch, take advantage of the bag check uhaul at high dive. They let you check it for the day and you can add more stuff to it later. - if you're not staying at either of the official hotels, still try to hit up a pool party/after party/beer purge at one (warning: you can party out front of the HI, but can't go inside if not a guest. Wyndham, you can). - Use the Fest app if you aren't already. Keep an eye out for schedule changes. - hug people and make friends. - If you don't go to one of the 88 Fingers Louie sets, you're fucking up
