Multiverse

I have definitely found my obsession with records has faded. I've been doing this a looong time. The insane prices and all of the noobs calling records vinylz and buying them just to hang on the wall, has soured me on the whole experience. I should probably stay off Reddit. There's been many times we've been travelling and my wife asks me if I want to go to the local record store and I just say "nah". I also like having extra money. The evil Spotify has changed things for me. I just stream shit and ask myself if I really need to spend $35+ to listen to it on vinyl. Many times the answer is "not really".
Off the top of my head I can't really come up with a record I was truly excited about when I got it. Man, I'm being a downer! Maybe I'll come up with something later. Oh wait, the signed National "test pressing" was super cool. 😜

Would say odds are over 90% this gets a tour variant

Seems like another pressing of the boxset may be coming soon. Saw this image in the TMV newsletter this morning
 

Would love a chill/non-spammy discord.
Reddit stresses me out. 

A subreddit or Discord seems like a fair idea, even though I’m not big on either.
Probably as good of a time as any to mention that I’ve been working on an alternative forum but it’s going to be a little ways out.  Some folks here are automatically going to nope out of that idea with myself and a friend or two at the helm, but the intent of it will be primarily for music discussion – new albums, announcements, ranking discographies, etc. – with a designated spot for vinyl drops and vinyl discussion.
Reddit is better for up-to-date links and drops as they happen.  Way ahead of VC about 95% of the time.  VC allows for a little more discussion about music when it happens.
If anyone is fixated on just sharing store links and shipping updates, there’s nothing wrong with staying on VC when it decides it’ll be online.  If anyone else is intrigued by the idea of more of a music forum, I’ll gladly keep you in mind for an invite and would love to have you over there at some point.

I’d like a copy but I have probably 25 Boris LP’s, I’ll manage without dropping $50 on this. 

Bandcamp Pledges for a repress went live this morning, and its already 600%+ funded. Pledge window is open for 30 days.

I missed all y'all lovely people too
 
Had me seriously remembering when the OG B9 and deathwish boards went byebye and was like well, poop. 

Big ups go out to anyone that thinks this is a great idea, does it, and then has no clue how to unload, or how fucking insane it is to unload, 4k records and actually make the money they’re worth haha
 
”We got ‘em, now what do we do with them?!” “Dude, this was your idea!”

Good luck doing a quick video of the covers or spines, and trying to prove that it’s a limited 1st press variant /150 and not a 2022 repress ordered through Amazon.

As someone who has been in therapy for six-plus years, I can confidently say this dude needs therapy. And if he's in therapy already, he needs more.

Damn, so many reunions suck so bad

This sounds like they picked up exactly where they left off and it's kind of surreal in 2022

i'm into it

It would be awesome if they could just do the original artwork for Lover. Variants are way cool, not sure about those covers though.

It would be sick if this did NOT become the new business model for records. Thanks Taylor and Blink…

Cool, so we have 3 soft kill fans here, haha.
 
I grabbed the red as well, but kind of wish I'd gone pink.
Doesn't matter, these guys can do no wrong!

Tryna save cash and cut stuff myself but you've got great taste! 

/bump

Bump. Sorry to everyone I missed, I had Covid and it sucked. 

Happy TMV are back while also accepting it's unlikely I'm gonna dig this record based on the singles

pretty much the same way I didn't care for Antemasque+ATDI reunion

20 artists running the gamut of experimental queer Black rap and electronic music, solo female projects, power-pop, post-punk, and more.

WE BACK BABYYYYYYY

I'm sorry fam, I'm gonna have to do it again
 

I found the TV Greatest Hits release yesterday at some shop. It was the only thing on my wantlist but I didn't buy it. The $35 price tag had me realizing I don't need to buy everything 

I may have got one if it had the og cover. But I love seeing that we can still get double LPs under $30.

So FLCL vol.2 & vol.3 are open for pre-order:
