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.

COALESCE VINYL – Relapse Records Official Store

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

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.

Blue variant group-buy crew stays winning. 💪

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.

@prowl20 We spent a lot of time working on the remastering w Will from Orchid. Both of the LPs actually sounded really good, but I think the real difference is how awesome the 7" songs and the live set sound. I always loved the song Earache from the 5" - but it was really compressed due to obvious reasons. But it sounds huge now. The packaging is the best part though. Brian from Hand Held Heart, who originally released both vinyl versions of the records - did the layout. It's a unique die cut gatefold and has tons of old photos and great liner photos. Brian has done some incredible work for Jay-Z, No Age and even Kesha. Respect. We have some more great announcements coming up that I think everyone will love too. -Chuck

IN for this. Cannot believe Proper Dose will be 6 years old this year. That album is my favorite by them and I still give it some decent playtime every couple of months. Very much looking forward to this.

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.

Look at you business genius

Contact another record store and sell the inventory to them.

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

"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/

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

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!

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.

greyhaven have signed to Solid State Records and have an EP coming out next month, April 12th. Preorders are up. https://solidstaterecords.store/collections/greyhaven single out:

Ouch you got me...again I've been on the forum for over a decade and I guess there is still 0% chance I collect records myself...I'm only a little hobgoblin troll that is full of pure evil selling on eBay non-stop.

All 4 vinyl versions are available for 72 hours on her site. Of course.

@jhulud can we please merge these 2 threads? They were posted at the same time.

I ended up filing a claim through PayPal, and thanks to their 180 day money back guarantee, I was refunded for my purchase (minus 1 cent). I was really expecting them to to say, sorry there's nothing we can do because Bandbox has essentially gone under, but that was not the case. The process was pretty easy through PayPal. The only glitch was I couldn't complete the forms for the full amount of the purchase. I kept getting an error stating that the claim could not be for the full amount..... not sure what's up with that, so i filed the claim for the full amount minus a penny. I received my refund today.

New song is incredible! Love to see their sound maturing! I snagged the deluxe, and the /1500 by accident instead of the PN /500 - Was on a work zoom meeting and started scrambling around not trying to make it obvious lol oh well. Cant wait for this album!

The Helmet record will have new artwork created by Derek Hess.

New Shellac. https://store.touchandgorecords.com/collections/frontpage/products/shellac-to-all-trains-cd-lp

This is cool. I clicked to see if it was the Red Scare I was thinking or a new band using that name too ha. This one is a little more obscure than the bigger screamo/skramz bands at the time. Just checked out some of your other stuff and it looks like you've been doing some other really cool stuff like that Shotmaker box set. You put some money and time into these and it shows.

It's a fun listen but $130 is taking the piss. Straight-up price gouging.

only 266 copies left, they're going fast

Oh it'll happen, just not how we want it (2LP's in a fucking gatefold for $30) Well, it will but not until after they drop it in reverse order of desirability so they can get the suckers to buy each format. Flash Drive, then Mini Disc, then CD, then Blu-Ray, then Flexi book, then 12 LP box set, and only after that will the 2LP $30 "sane edition" drop.
