Shipping is still cheaper at TRL with media mail. Just ordered a copy because of completionist reasons too.

A couple of glimpses of what's in store for the One Chord to Another boxset: https://instagram.com/p/9HlNKtH3I0/ https://instagram.com/p/9L1gVlxFLu8_LHRH7EB6g6KPAfpInvPwP0joo0/

Damn, really hoping they'll have copies of those represses on tour next year.

Yessss... always stoked for new Metz! Ordered from Sub Pop as their shipping is cheaper. If anyone has a copy of the Negative Space/Automat single, I'm looking for a copy. It's the last one I need to complete my Metz collection!

New album up for pre-order on Thrill Jockey. Turquoise mail order exclusive or 180g black available. http://thrilljockey.com/products/the-catastrophist

I'm not at home to take photos, so I stole a few from Instagram:

Metz had the same colour variant for the loser edition of their latest album:

Mine just got delivered. Sticker sheet was separate, so I guess it really was exclusive. Packaging is dope!

I was there last night, solid performance but I was indifferent to the announcement as I already felt that their little hiatus wasn't going to last too long.

They posted some pictures of the vinyl on FB. I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered, but it looks killer.

Seems like it's a different colour than the clear version I got from the Metric webstore: Also found this Instagram post from a local record store that states it's a run of 3000: https://instagram.com/p/7yVYPPhmEY/

Link is broken now anyway.

Just got my copy. Gatefold with printed inners, LP1 is clear while LP2 is more of an opaque clear (if that makes any sense). Gotta go to work, so don't have time to listen, but will post pics later if someone else hasn't.

The head of the label just got named President/CEO of Universal Music Canada, so maybe they just don't care anymore. http://exclaim.ca/Music/article/arts_crafts_founder_jeffrey_remedios_named_president_ceo_of_universal

Was waiting as long as possible and hoping our shitty Canadian dollar would go up a bit to make this less of a hit to the wallet on the exchange rate, but noooope. Ordered one anyway.

September bump!

Sonic Boom in Toronto had a bunch of copies of Crisis when I was there on the weekend.

Picked one off Discogs a while ago that turned out to be one the the translucent Last Gang ones instead of the Matador splatters (the one I received was blue). Thanks for the offer though!

Ditto, YFIP is one of my all-time favourite records and I bought both it and S/T when they came out (even have both of them signed by Brendan and Charlie). I'd love to have these on coloured wax, but can't justify double-dipping especially when they're not even going to be released here in Canada.

Fabio Frizzi tickets for Toronto are already on sale (regular and VIP options available): http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/911081
