Anyone surprised? Never paid more than half price for any of their releases.  Still remember arguing with this guy on reddit when he started this thing and trying to explain to him why I found the subscription model entirely unappealing.  Glad it worked out for him.

ACAB includes Discops

I used to buy back my own label’s releases from Hot Topic during Hot Cash days at literal pennies on the dollar then putting them back in my webstore and selling them at full price. Hot Topic was a godsend to microlabels like mine in the 2010s. 

They are surprisingly good live right now. 

Hot mulligan - why would i watch
wilmette - hyperfocused
wstr - til the wheels fall off
blink 182 - one more time 
sincere engineer - cheap grills 
crime in stereo - house and trance
Jason isbell - weathervanes 
fall out boy - so much for stardust
Daisy jones - aurora 
Good hangs - good luck planet
The hold steady - price of progress
Rancid - tomorrow never comes
hawthorne heights - lost lights 
 

Well, we just had our baby over the weekend, so my show-going is likely done for the year. But this is who I've seen since my last check-in back in June:
Bryan Adams/Joan Jett Weezer/Modest Mouse/Momma LCD Soundsystem/Idles NOFX/Descendents/Suicide Machines/Bouncing Souls (Punk In Drublic Fest) Julia Jacklin/Black Belt Eagle Scout Braid/Signals Midwest American Football Max Stern Ben Nichols/Tim Barry Fake Names The Gaslight Anthem Head Automatica Ratboys Chris Farren Rozwell Kid/This Moment In Black History + a bunch more bands (WCSB Halloween Ball) Into It. Over It. Lucero Best sets out of that batch were Weezer, Braid, Max Stern and Descendents, but honestly, none of the shows were bad (with the exception of Gaslight, there was just a realllllly weird vibe during their set both onstage and in the crowd).

Taking back Sunday didn’t play so it sucked

This is like an adult contemporary version of TBS which as an adult resonates more with me. 

Will they release any of it?

Good to see this album is so bad it’s creating parody accounts.

It took seven years for the album.  I think I could get a couple days to update my profile
