My dude. That blurb was literally in this thread in the FIRST post 10 hours before you posted. Did you just not read the post and then ask "What is this?" Then hours later you "found" the description on facebook after you'd already supposedly read this thread and asked what it was? Take your ADHD meds man.

You keep bringing this up as though most of the folks who ordered from them weren't like, "Fuck, these guys suck but there is no other way to get this for a remotely reasonable price." Everyone gets it, dude. You just come across as obsessive and annoying.

Got my Smartpunk order today. Very satisfied. It was nice buying records at 2010 prices again.

I've been listening to a lot of Whirr lately, and I've got a few thoughts. 1. I miss the good old days 2. In hindsight, they are the reason all of indie music shifted towards shoegaze. Ride and Slowdive reunion albums and countless new bands would not have happened without Whirr making shoegaze the indie zeitgeist of the last decade. 3. They will never get credit for point 2 because they are 'Canceled' 4. Despite point 3 they sold out of everything they have released post G.L.O.S.S.GATE, and they have ~850,000 monthly listeners on spotify. 5. Point 4 should logically make no sense because of Point 3, but it kind of just makes me depressed as hell because it's proof that this band got railroaded by their labels and the music media over some straight up nonsense that got turned into a sociopolitical warzone and they were the only casualty. I hope they get the money and recognition they deserve at some point. Despite there being hundreds of new shoegaze bands, I never hear Whirr named as an influence but the sonic influence is in everything. Also, I wanted to rank the albums/EPs and see what everyone thinks 1.Pipe Dreams 2. Distressor 3.Feels like you 4.Nothing Split 5. Around 6. Sway

This will be my first RSD hosting at my store Collectors Cult Records in Martinez CA. I ordered SO MUCH RSD stock its crazy so if you are in the area for RSD please come check us out. Currently in talks to get the homie Crookone from Team Sleep to come to the store and do a DJ set and sign some Team Sleep copies for everyone. Will post on the socials when i get all the details. https://www.Instagram.com/collectors.cult.records https://www.Facebook.com/collectors.cult.records

My wife always tells me to stop shooting prematurely. Not sure what she means. I don't own a gun

I mean, she dropped in on one of his LA shows the weekend before last to duet a couple of songs and hug him on stage. Not sure how much animosity that leaves room for. https://www.stereogum.com/2256728/watch-better-oblivion-community-centers-phoebe-bridgers-conor-oberst-reunite-in-la/news/

Also, I'm sorry but how the actual fuck would someone buying multiple Glassjaw box sets not understand why the number would end in 93 by now? Holy shit, you make it impossible not to be mean, fucking stop it.

New Gel EP up for pre-order, I'm expecting Stateside release to be put up soon? https://devildogdistro.com/products/gel-persona-ep-devil-dog-exclusive Played the first track to be put up on their Bandcamp page, excellent! Comes in at nearly 3 minutes! https://store.bluegrapemusic.com/products/gel-persona-pre-order https://gelhardcore.com/

the whole thing is super off in unpleasant kind of way. Like I feel song supposed sound like a "rough lo-fi/analogue tape demo" but it sounds clean, badly mixed/produced with some stock presets slapped on guitar in a hurry. Based on how he sings text feels like it supposed to be personal and sad. it. But its just stupid and awkward. Video feels like it supposed to be "old found tape" or something. But it looks irritatingly modern and out of place. Anthony looks happy and playfull in the video. But I can't shake the feeling that I watch a guy who will commit suicide in a few weeks. Overall very eerie video\song.

Hey All, We are by appointment from 8am to Noon on Record Store Day and available for walk up customers starting right at noon. This year we're doing things a little different though.

At the very least you'll be ready to go when we open at noon. If you're wondering if we're getting that thing you're excited about. YES WE ARE. We don't publish lists in advance but if it's good we get it! Leftovers go up on our website www.1234gorecords.shop at 5am Pacific on Sunday April 21st and we'll start shipping orders on Monday. We do what we can to ship the largest amount of orders as quickly as possible. Tracking is sent to the email you supply at check out. If you haven't gotten an email with tracking it means we're still getting to your order.

We've made tote bags and shirts with it as well if you want to pre-order them now head over to https://1234gorecords.shop/products/record-store-day-2024-shirt

That means you’re 69th. Nice.

AFAIK it’s only with Cove. I guess the better way to phrase this is: “I wish labels would stop making artists do this.” I believe they are doing this exactly why Taylor Swift, Senses Fail, etc have all done this. A label won’t give up the rights to the music so they’re hoping fans will just move on to this version on streaming services.

There's been a running conversation with Sean who runs their distribution company about it on this page of this thread for like...the last week.

New Thou up at www.sacredbonesrecords.com

"Kscope is thrilled to announce that throughout 2024 and into 2025 we will begin re-releasing the Oceansize catalogue, featuring their releases from 2007 onwards. Starting with a bang as an orange 12” on Record Store Day, the first release will be the EP Home & Minor, never before released on vinyl." https://kscopemusic.com/oceansize-join-kscope/

I opened a store back in July 2023, Collectors Cult Records. Located in the East Bay Area in Martinez CA Id say we are more of a Hardcore/Punk/Metal type store but we got something for everyone. if anyones ever in that area please consider stopping by!

The dude makes amazing music, too bad he's a POS nazi

got my tri color today and it was packed like it was a delicate pastry from a fancy bakery.

Do you realise that target has nothing to do about quality control when their variant is just one of many like in this case, right?

The best album you've probably never heard, and my number one "wants pressed" now has a release. #250 each Saloon ”Cheater In The House” Vinyl – Solid State Records Store Saloon ”Originality” Vinyl – Solid State Records Store

The gold version is much better quality. Not sure why the number isn’t out of 500. Also glad they shipped the box sets with actual protection. The first box set I ordered was sent loose in a box that allowed over 1” of space for the record to bounce around. The corners were creased. This shipment arrived safe.

Was also able to grab ATDI, love this shop!

If anybody is looking for Team Sleep, we don’t have an online store but my shop has 6 copies left. They have been opened and the inside jacket is signed by CrookOne. They’ve been placed in a poly bag and include the hype sticker. They are priced at retail. Message me if you’d like one.

That was a pleasant surprise.

Well. My store didn’t even get their allotted copy of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. The owner told me that if they receive it in a later shipment, he’ll hold it for me. But he did have the Malfunkshun for me. So that’s cool & snagged that.

Year Zero is still coming soon. I think it's been about 7 years at this point. Maybe i'll go drop a bunch of money on an OG so the reissue can move forward.

Releases May 3rd on Kanine Records: https://weareblushing.bandcamp.com/album/sugarcoat

Just bumping this because your band is awesome and the new songs sound great!

thats cool and all but youre about 40 years too late on that. i havent listened to the track but i bet it sounds like most SG which makes half the people on here dizzy and the other half angry some of the best music of this century has been made with a keyboard and a hard drive (edit: not even that kind of keyboard)

Get upset or not that shit is incredibly corny and I'll be personally judging people who allow rap/hip-hop/pop artist/producer roles to invade rock genres. Step one to forgetting how to play instruments as a society and that's not hyperbole.

I'm with you on this. Yeah...seems like homie is hung up on some semantic stuff here. Like, if she'd been fully forthright and credited the producer would they still be upset? And it sounds like the issue is only with her "best" track. Rappers constantly buy already made tracks and put their lyrics over them, is that also not "real" music? Tons of pop artists have someone else write for them and are popular/easy to listen to or other bands have only one songwriter in the group and the rest of the band just plays their songs. I just don't have the bandwidth to get upset over this kind of stuff.

So, these people?

When I first started buying vinyl 15 or so years ago, I had also just discovered Thou. I hunted down all of their releases at that point and made the conscious decision to be a completionist with their discography (sans variants). Little did I know what I was in for, ha! Still following them all these years later. Great band. Not for everyone.

The new Eels album (“Eels Time”) is currently on sale on Amazon for $12.49! It’s a pre-order, comes out June 7th: https://a.co/d/bdew57g

I run our distribution company. The Jakob records are so good but took forever to sell. I’ll chat with Ryan about it. For awhile a decade ago, he was doing archival presses and it’s something I’d like to bring back. It was a great idea then and that hasn’t changed.

It only took 60% of the members quitting and for the band to not be so great anymore, but I finally was able to pre-order a colored pressing of a Gimmes record.

Contact another record store and sell the inventory to them.

My order still hasn't shipped either, for what it's worth.

Mike mentioned the label putting out Home and Minor will be reissuing all the other albums from Superball including Feed to Feed.

Also in that vein...and adjacent to Nothing and Whirr...check out Wisp. She does some fuzzed out heavy shoegaze.

Amazing description

It's been over 2 weeks of these allegedly shipping and I still haven't gotten tracking. I bought them the minute they went up. I swear we can't trust them to do anything right. It's not this hard for literally everyone else.

Thrill Jockey like to do subscriber exclusive pre-sales for those who get their newsletter. Thursday's email said "Excited to give you the first crack at the first super limited color". Guess the official announcement from them and the band will come this week along with a new variant.

Sumac "The Healer" PO 6.21.24 Sumac - The Healer Amber Wave/400 Only 10 left as of 7:30PM PST Random thought...I really appreciate Thrill Jockeys pricing and shipping options. Double LP for $29 shipped is a rarity these days.

You posted a few days too early.
