Princess Logan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Fucking cheers. I don't want to be entered into this one, just wanted to say you're a good dude. But that goes without saying. Beat me to it! Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 This is such an awesome idea man, I'd like to be considered as well. Colin's an awesome guy and Psychic Babble doesn't get nearly enough recognition. I was fortunate enough to chat with him for a while at his art gallery opening in Philly the other year. On a slightly related note, when Psychic Babble did their first tour opening for Anthony Green a few months back, one of the band's touring members was a dude who runs one of my favorite small businesses, Miles to Go. He commissions indie artists to make t-shirt and poster designs based on classic literature, and they all look amazing. Colin recently did the design for Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, and some other artists like Keaton Henson, Cutty Bage and my friend Paul Granese have done designs for everything from Slaughterhouse 5 to Moby Dick and the Tell-Tale Heart. Books aren't dead, you just have to wear them now. Anyway I'd recommend some people check out milestogoclothing.com and support some damn talented people. miles to go....greg? puts out great stuff.

Derek™ Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Even though I'm fairly sure you're not the biggest fan of me, I'd love to enter. I've got nothing against you, Kess. I think you were a little overly zealous in that Brand New thread. But if the Macklemore kid taught us anything, it's that VC is cool with ambition. Truth be told, I'd like to keep these raffles open to anyone and everyone. But I'd also like to see the records go to people who are a positive influence on the forum, or who otherwise make the VC experience more enjoyable. There are a few Negative Nancies out there who'd prefer to rain on parades or talk shit instead of contributing to the forums. They know who they are, and if we're being completely honest, I'd prefer that they didn't win. But it'd be childish and petty to disqualify them from entering, even if I disagree with the morale they bring to the community. (I also doubt they'd want anything to do with any sort of giveaway that I'm at the helm of, so it all kind of works out.) billya and eskimosnow27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyFrosted Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'm definitely a fan of Circa, but I've never heard this project. After taking a bit of a listen, it sounds pretty dang good, I'd like to enter if that's alright. If I'm not up to 'regular' standard that's okay, I lurk more than I post anyway. You're still a good man to be doing this. Very generous to give away, rather than sell, music you know you won't listen to very much. I was pawing through my collection just last night and noticed some that fall under that category but to be honest I don't know if VC folks would want them even if they were free. Just really random stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just really random stuff. Having done business with you before, I'd say you're definitely a solid guy and I'd be very glad to add you into the raffle. As far as the random stuff goes... that's half the appeal in my books. Giving someone else the opportunity to hear something they otherwise wouldn't, even if it's not exactly what they were hoping it'd be. I'll likely be doing that with a few 7"s I have no use for, somewhere down the road. But as it stands, I think I've got a fair balance of known artists vs. obscure material on hand and ready for new homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadItUpToHere Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 This is a great thing to do and you're a good guy for doing it. Respect! I myself am not a big fan so I won't be requesting to be entered. But still, you're doing a good thing here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeMoreGlass Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I love the hell out of Circa, and I always meant to pick it up, but I think I forgot about it until now... Killer idea Derek, I did a grab bag thing kind of like this a few months ago and it went pretty well... Id love to enter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattvsshark Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm a newer member here but I'm a big fan of Circa/Psychic Babble so you can put my name in. Like everyone else said, this is super awesome of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy. Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Never really listened to Circa Survive much. I've listened to other things by Anthony Green though. Is this the band that played with him on his solo tour or is that someone else? (Not the Young Legs tour, the one before it). I know it was like three dudes that did the drums/keyboard/bass.

Derek™ Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 On my mobile at the moment, but I'll be sure to update that list of entries when I get home in a few hours. I'll also be making (and posting) the GIF for the drawing, and will be determining a winner this evening. Best of luck to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
