I was taking a break from vinyl when most of these released. Luckily I found a shop that had them, The downside was that the shop was 50 miles from my house. Regardless, I ran down there and got clear copies of Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Dots and Loops, Cobra & Phases, and Mars Audiac Quintet. plus I got Transient Random Noise Bursts a couple weeks ago from a store closer to home. I'm 0/5 on the scratch offs though. I'm going to take my Copy of Dots and Loops to their SLC show on Tuesday to see if I can get it signed.

For anyone that's seen them on tour thus far, what was their merch selection like? Did they have any of the new reissues on clear? I haven't been on here in a while and missed out on the pre orders. I'm hoping I can pick them up when they play here.

I'm about to go grab a Crunchwrap. Anyone want anything while I'm there?

Secret Santa lives on! A couple days ago there was a package from Bullmoose at my door. I haven't ordered a record in a long time so I was a bit confused. Turns out it was another record from my Secret Santa. He told me in the letter that it was coming, and it still caught me off guard It was a copy of Unwritten Law's self titled. I listened to this band a ton when I was a teenager, so this was a cool blast from the past. Thanks again ozfacter!

Glad you liked everything and that the package got to you intact!

Haha. You said in the not that I'd probably forget about the second package before it showed up, and looks like you were right.

I ended up waiting until christmas to open my gift. Here it is! It was a gigantic package, and first thing inside was a nice handwritten note. Inside were some individually wrapped gifts. I started with the 7" mailer. Inside were two Pearl Jam singles that I didn't have yet, a signed Menzingers single (!), a Horror section EP, and a single by Nothington. Inside the 12" mailer was a "Jungle Love single by The Time, and album by Sundowner, and a greatest hits album from David Bromberg. There was also a boatload of stickers and CDs! And finally, in the last present was a die cast miniature of a BMW K1300S motorcycle. I'll be taking it tow work to put on my desk with my other miniatures, because I'm just a big child. Haha. My Secret Santa said in the note that the Menzingers are local for him, so that narrows my Santa down to Philadelphia. My Santa must have been ozfacter! Thanks so much dude, you nailed it! It was a good mix of stuff I love and stuff I haven't listened to yet. I've heard good things about the Menzingers for years, but have never listened to them. I was spinning that single yesterday and loved it. I'll be digging deeper into their discography for sure now. I haven't had a chance to listen to everything else yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again!

Mine showed up today! I'm holding off opening it for now, but maybe when I get home from work tonight...

Here's my about me, updated from last year's thread My name is Jared. I'm 27 and I live in Salt Lake City. I'm into all sorts of music. I love 90s indie (labels like Elephant 6, UP, etc), shoegaze, stoner/doom metal, folk/americana (especially with female vocals), post rock, ambient, Electronic, post-punk, jazz, and everything in between. Some of my favorite bands are Pavement, Built to Spill, The Radio Dept., Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Mogwai, Low, Radiohead, Ty Segall, The Microphones/Mount Eerie, Melvins, Jason Isbell, Eagle Twin, LCD Soundsystem, Wilco, Guided by Voices, Earth, Neil Young, and many more. Here's my Discogs page for reference As for other activities, I'm a big car/motorcycle guy. I love anything vintage European and Japanese. Someday, I'd love to restore a BMW 2002 and build a custom cafe racer style bike (out of an old BMW airhead or Honda CB). It's just a pipe dream for now though. I go to a lot of car meets/cruises/shows with my brother in his 78 Classic Mini (the link isn't his car, but you get the idea). I also help friends work on their cars. It's a fun hobby. I haven't been buying many records lately because all my money is going toward building a sleeper BMW M3 sedan. Here's a link documenting the build, if you're into cars and want to give it a read. I haven't been a lot in the last few years, but I love snowboarding in the winter. I'm hoping to make it up the mountain a lot more in the coming months. I go to a ton of shows. I average about two or three a week. I love traveling for shows when I can. I try to make a trip over to Red Rocks every summer. I'm hoping to travel more often. Whenever I'm somewhere new, I try and stop by a record store and ask the clerk for some local band recommendations. I love buying cool local music. Maybe you could include some of your favorite local bands or maybe your band if you're in one. Like any other young adult, play video games (PS4/Xbox One/Nintendo Switch) and watch a lot of movies/TV. Some favorite shows are Arrested Development, Orphan Black, The Good Place, The IT Crowd, Danger 5, 30 Rock, Stranger Things, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Silicon Valley, etc. I'm not super picky, so I'm sure I'll love whatever I'm given. Thanks! Here's my Instagram if it helps.

Just signed up!

I'm always in.

Aww yes! Hopefully I can sneak out of work to grab a copy from Graywhale tomorrow.

Why didn't you buy it back from your insurance company before it went to auction?

I'm hoping to keep the game at 0-0, haha.
