I don’t even remember if I ordered black or the coloured version but I’m not NOT gonna buy two mwy discs for $15 shipped.

Here ya go.  $25 shipped with Prime: https://a.co/d/dcHFuU1

Deftones's Gore. I'm not a Deftones fan, but for whatever reason, this album just has that "it" factor for me and checks all of the right boxes.

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.

Once I have it in hand, and if one isn’t created until then - sure. If you already have it, you can create the listing by copying and editing the Space Desert listing: https://support.discogs.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005007074-How-To-Copy-A-Release-To-Draft
Edit: Actually someone already created the listing, just a few hours after your post: https://www.discogs.com/release/26385218-Trophy-Scars-Astral-Pariah

Got my shipping notice for the black variant, hope everyone else does soon!

The Macho Man never gave licensing rights to these jokers, Brother.
 
I thought about posting this a while back but even days before this went up it seemed sold out everywhere.
 
Edit: also I forgot I changed my username a while back.

How does this thread exist with not even one mention of our resident macho man who’s actual username I can’t think of to tag?

And in between sips of Coke
He told me that he thought we were sellin' out
Layin' down, suckin' up to the man
 

At the request of @iamjordanbanks, who loaned me his copy, I ripped & scanned the Nice And Blue (Pt. Two) 7". My YouTube channel has both the A- and B-sides, but I thought I'd directly link the more exciting of the two above: "In A Sweater Poorly Knit (Demo Version)"
24/96 download + hi-res scans + lineage/info: https://jenripsvinyl.com/rips/nice-and-blue-pt-two.html
EDIT: I published this at nearly 4am and upon waking up in the morning I noticed the speed was ever-so-slightly off. Maybe the belt on my turntable needs to be replaced! Regardless, I've updated the files in the MEGA folder, changed the website to reflect the differences, and uploaded new videos to YouTube. The above is the new video, but if you downloaded the files prior to whatever time it says I edited this post, you should re-download
(Gonna ping everyone who reacted to this post so you know, sorry-- @Mars, @daegor, @rcafilm, @zacooper, @IndigoHollow, @achillesstand7, @iamjordanbanks, @whoa, @ejc625, @throwgncpr)

Finally got a chance to listen to this.  Amazing.  Dude is completely omitting context, and skipping right over the part where he went off the fucking deep end with comments on completely unrelated, personal IG posts outside of relevant comment threads.  Really trying to play the victim, evidently?  “Well I mean it was a snarky comment so I replied with my own sass and now I’m a bad guy? 🤷‍♂️ Why?”  Clown world.
Verbatim:
“So we do this.  And we release the artwork for the re-releases.  I’m super stoked on it ‘cause it’s the first time that, like, I’ve actually executed what I want the aesthetic to look like on the covers.”
Main problem underlined for emphasis.  Maybe just acquire and execute an aesthetic that isn’t completely tepid dog-shit and you wouldn’t have this problem to begin with?  Or, I suppose, just stick with your own (gross) artistic vision on this one, and then publicly broadcast how butt-hurt you are about any kind of negative feedback.
Yeah.  That’s the play. 🤡

well, I was rocking curator for awhile so it was time for a change

Trying to decide if the nostalgia and collecting aspects for ISSWS are worth the inevitable $30 price tag. It's a good album with a lot of memories attached but I'm not sure the last time I listened to it.

I recorded the whole set from the album release show if anyone is interested. 
 
 

Am I listening to a different album? I didn't find this boring or repetitive at all. The whole thing is excellent in my opinion. I will be spinning this a lot. 

Yeah I'm happy with it as well. I rarely buy more than one variant, but I got the peppermint and silver colorways this time.

This is one of the best egg yolks I’ve seen  

So you’re saying I should spam all photos on all 3 of those Instagram accounts?  Is that what I’m reading between the lines here?

Man I hope Ross dates my daughter now what a guy.

Is it in hand or a preorder? Gotta make sure they can't put more variants up before I can flip a starfish.
