  1. No. A fiber carbon brush will not force any dust into the grooves. It may not be great at removing large amounts of dust, but it is not going to fuck up a record if you go with the grooves. looking at this guys earlier posts... and his reading comprehension! hahahah!
  2. #VRNSYDL #Flipsterbrainsjustexploded #that #SNFLD episode where #KRMR tried selling the vintage #VNYL he got from the old man #ELN was taking care of
  3. where is this 140g Info coming from? I haven't seen that anywhere. Everything Ive seen has all three credits: MOV, WATERTOWER Music, At The Movies unless someone recently ordered from a new listing that says 140g Black with insert w/liner notes by Nolan from somewhere, those that pre-ordered and are still waiting must be getting the Original MOV one. Even if you go look at the discogs listing, you can see these logos on the back cover, so they are in some way or another together on this release. Either way, there are for sure more pressings coming, so no need to worry availability.... it seems....
  4. I was confused, and also annoyed, because I pre-ordered from amazon as well... I checked jpc and hhv at the time, and didn't find a listing, so went with amazon... guess I should have kept checking jpc, I usually prefer either those other places over Amazon.... anyway, I emailed MOV earlier today to ask about this, and this is their response: Considering, the original has WaterTower Music credited on the back as well as MOV, my guess is that this is the ONLY pressing (though odd if any catalog numbers changed at retail sites), and they did not have enough initial stock to fulfill all their orders. Those of us still waiting will get the exact same issue it looks like.... we just have to wait until they ship out the next batch....In April it seems. Sucks some of us are stuck waiting, but pretty sure there is not a different pressing at least....
  5. but how is youtube telling you anything about that vinyl. track-listing, maybe. but who's to say the vinyl is the same source. same quality. same edits......
  6. Will give it a few listens and hope it grows on me. Not instantly loving like the the last.... but gonna give it a shot...
  7. ive wondered about these for ages.... part of me has been assuming they are really bootlegs, but I supposed it's possible they are legit, just seems odd that someone would have so many copies of those two albums. I dont think i ever saw that account selling anything else, which means his 58 feedback is just from Shootenany and Electro Shock (maybe the occasional MC Honky)... not counting that many people probably don't even leave feeback... dat a lot of vinyl-s-es. of course besides being skeptical, I am jealous...
  8. ive had that happen to a friend... also, I was watching one of those ridiculous shows where they follow various 'authorities' around (customs workers, highway cops, market security, flea market organizers and so forth) They were showing people at the Post where items intercepted by customs are picked up. They made a guy open his package and when he didn't provide an invoice, they showed the clerk head to the back and get on ebay to figure out what to charge him. Granted, half these shows are fake and reenactments, but I'm pretty sure this segment was one of the real ones. I've always wondered what one could do to challenge them if they come up with some outrageous charge... again, I think it should be relatively easy to get an invoice.. but in the case of the subscription vinyl mentioned above, there might not be an invoice or if there is it may say $0.00 or something... then what. Tricky Business, and of course The Man is going to get his in the end... i've always worried about when my family sends me anything, what if they try to charge duty for the candy and food they send over, or make themselves? what if I have them grab a record out of my collection there and have them ship it over with that stuff? Can they, or would they, charge me for something I've owned for years? If I have a record that HAS (doesnt mean will again) sold for say $100 before, and I send it to myself, could I have to repay customs to get it! Crazy deal... ...ive pretty much hijacked this from the original post I guess... though still pondering on the original customs issue...
  9. yea, it was late, I read and then wrote a lot of mixed bizness, especially where you quoted.... I think I comprehended that DHL used the wrong, higher rate, then I transferred that to customs charging based on that and went in the wrong direction. Still, pretty crappy deal by DHL on this one. but, I think it's weird that customs includes the shipping when calculating duties, especially since in this case DHL is a German company, but I get that I guess though I dont agree. when I order something, on say the Amazon marketplace, I always check to see that with shipping it's under the 22 euro (or 25 or whatever it is) threshold to be under where customs starts charging. I've been pretty lucky for the most part, but I did get dinged bad once where with shipping the extra import fee was almost 2/3 of the cost of what I bought. I think it should be based on the goods value... as for the using of ebay to determine value of an item. I absolutely dont agree with that. To much fluctuation. Two people could fight something out to over $200, then when the next one comes up, the bidding pool is one seriously interested bidder less, and it goes for $30 - $50. I've seen it happen. It shouldn't be too hard make the receiver track down the actual invoice, beyond that, I don't know, I am not gonna put a ton of energy into solving the problem, but I am pretty happy to complain and say I am sure a bidding site is not answer...
  10. i've always felt the whole customs thing was a bit shady... in this example, they were able to calculate the shipping rate much higher than what it actually cost in order to get a higher customs fee!? that does not seem right... Could you have gotten DW to clarify the actually shipping charge since they somehow can't figure out what their own rate for that item actually is. But then they want to charge you a fee to recalculate the custom charge to the correct amount!? Am I reading that right?! SHADY! furthermore, I've always felt using Ebay to calculate value on an item is absolutely ridiculous! How could that even be legal? Ebay is not a retailer, and is in no way a reputable gauge of what something is worth! Seriously! Now I think I finally know why there are those oddball 'buy it now' listings for common cd's priced at $100+ and other crap outrageously priced when there 20 identical items for a fraction! ITS CUSTOMS!! ;p I would bet if they see a listing for Deathwish Record XX for $400, yet there are 10 other listings priced at a reasonable retail of around $15 - $20, the customs due is gonna be based off that $400 listing... even if they could look at the label, see the DW website, and find the ACTUAL price. Shady....
  11. Interesting...... I actually have two copies, because one was a gift, and I find both are horrible! I truly can't listen to the whole thing without listener fatigue, and I've tried, because I really liked that album!
  12. Their last album was Great! The vinyl pressing was shit! Horribly brickwalled, distorted, listener fatigue after a few songs... bad bad bad! I will not be pre-ordering this until I hear some reviews! Based on the last vinyl pressing: Beware! That said, if there was a good sounding pressing of Megalithic Symphony, I'd buy it up in second...
  13. 1. AB, Takk, Kveikur, ( ) <-changing with my moods... 2. Heima (hvarf/heim) 3. Med Sud... 4. Petta Er Island 5. Von 6. Valtari 7. Inni 8. Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do 9. BBC 2009 Live Though Valtari is my least favorite studio album at the moment, I still quite like it, and think Varud (Varuo?) is one of their best songs ever.... Regarding, the Live at the BBC vinyl being last.... it's very nice looking, and sounds, ok, but to my ears it sounds very compressed and flat. Not great dynamic range. The performance is good, and the sound is Ok in general.... just not exactly moving. (my review is the one on the discogs page saying about the same FYI). I'm glad I have it, just as a huge fan, so I can recommend it for that reason at least... I am not really fan of INNI either, I think the Petta boot has a much better feel to it.
  14. truth. their last one got a lot of flak, but I really liked it.... this one so far... just not doing it \
  15. so, spill the beans, you and other goodwill workers get pre-access to the good stuff before it goes out to the floor dontya...
