Because they referred to a racist as being just that and mentioned that Wolfe has disowned him? That you considered "awful"? That wasn't the only thing. I don't agree with NPR's political leanings, which is fine, because I can respectfully disagree with different opinions. But I found the mentioning of Burzum completely unnecessary, and the accusation of cultural appropriation and the linked article ridiculous. It just ended up being a bit too much for me in a music article/review. i might as well start loving etchings though. Seeing as the Queens album, Foo Fighters, and now this record is sporting an etching. In this case, if you can't beat 'em... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Etchings; I think its just a way that labels try to beautify a side that would otherwise be blank when the music won't fit on 2 sides but doesn't need more than 3. As far as NPR is concerned, I feel they have in general an acceptably humane leaning with less bias than any other news source I've received. It may have been a reach to mention the Burzum thing but I don't find any problem in it. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to remind the audience where someone stands especially if its important enough to the artist to make it clear the first time. Maybe it was the writer's dilemma to use real examples of their featured artist's history to make the genre association clear but also to retain the political separation between the artist being discussed and one of the examples of said artists' source of genre influence. And not to stir shit, but I always feel a bit uneasy when people express an intimidation to what they call Social Justice Warriors. I can agree that there is a level of political correctness that goes too far technically and only serves to hinder a supposed SJW's ability to properly identify and keep tabs on its antagonists but if the way in which someone insults another is by referring to them as a SOCIAL JUSTICE warrior, what is it about social justice that makes that person uneasy? It just seems like its goes against a basic level of decency in humanity to have such an issue with social justice, whether its propagated by so-called "warriors" of that cause or not. I guess I'm saying it doesn't bode well to put such a negative slant on such a phrase.

blackheartsoul Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I was disappointed my vinyl was delayed until Monday. Was looking forward to a weekend listen. Will have to just listen to it digitally for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OU818 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Anybody know the pressing numbers for the oxblood variant? Not listed on Discogs yet. This record is great as usual for her. God City was a great call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanketburrito Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Are there any oxbloods available anywhere? Looks like Amoeba and Bullmoose don't have em anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuga Records still has it listed. Never ordered from them so I cannot vouch for them but they are active with good feedback on eBay.

I'm picking mine up this afternoon. http://store.ugsounds.com/chelsea-wolfe-hiss-spun-lp-oxblood-and-black-vinyl/dp/21087 Reckless.com also has it listed Edited September 23, 2017 by fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Saw both the plain black and the black/oxblood variants at Reckless today. Didn't pick this up but but grabbed the first two EYEHATEGOD records from the 2017 Emetic press and a UK original Modest Mouse The Moon & Antarctica for a steal. I really want to listen to Hiss Spun all the way through before I purchase. Anyway, I guess my point is to corroborate that both those variants of Hiss Spun were on shelf at Reckless today.

Feel better about grabbing this at the shop for a couple of bucks more than I could get the black on Amazon now! It appears this is the most limited variant.
