My dude. That blurb was literally in this thread in the FIRST post 10 hours before you posted. Did you just not read the post and then ask "What is this?" Then hours later you "found" the description on facebook after you'd already supposedly read this thread and asked what it was? Take your ADHD meds man.

You keep bringing this up as though most of the folks who ordered from them weren't like, "Fuck, these guys suck but there is no other way to get this for a remotely reasonable price." Everyone gets it, dude. You just come across as obsessive and annoying.

I've been listening to a lot of Whirr lately, and I've got a few thoughts. 1. I miss the good old days 2. In hindsight, they are the reason all of indie music shifted towards shoegaze. Ride and Slowdive reunion albums and countless new bands would not have happened without Whirr making shoegaze the indie zeitgeist of the last decade. 3. They will never get credit for point 2 because they are 'Canceled' 4. Despite point 3 they sold out of everything they have released post G.L.O.S.S.GATE, and they have ~850,000 monthly listeners on spotify. 5. Point 4 should logically make no sense because of Point 3, but it kind of just makes me depressed as hell because it's proof that this band got railroaded by their labels and the music media over some straight up nonsense that got turned into a sociopolitical warzone and they were the only casualty. I hope they get the money and recognition they deserve at some point. Despite there being hundreds of new shoegaze bands, I never hear Whirr named as an influence but the sonic influence is in everything. Also, I wanted to rank the albums/EPs and see what everyone thinks 1.Pipe Dreams 2. Distressor 3.Feels like you 4.Nothing Split 5. Around 6. Sway

Got my Smartpunk order today. Very satisfied. It was nice buying records at 2010 prices again.

This will be my first RSD hosting at my store Collectors Cult Records in Martinez CA. I ordered SO MUCH RSD stock its crazy so if you are in the area for RSD please come check us out. Currently in talks to get the homie Crookone from Team Sleep to come to the store and do a DJ set and sign some Team Sleep copies for everyone. Will post on the socials when i get all the details. https://www.Instagram.com/collectors.cult.records https://www.Facebook.com/collectors.cult.records

Shipping for me is 9.82, so thats pretty much 30 dollars for a single sided 7 inch? I actually love this song and have a huge soft spot for Thursday, but that's a no from me my guy.

I don't believe this was mentioned. But buy the tape. Been hunting for their actual demo since the 90s to no avail. Know half the band and see em regularly but nothing so this is fantastic. https://sockmob916.bandcamp.com/album/3243

Just felt compelled to post about how fantastic this new Full of Hell record is. AOTY contender in my world, for sure. Edit: they've got a "release day" sort of raffle edition of the LP up on Bandcamp now. Limited to 200 copies total. This edition features the standard high gloss lp jacket an lp booklet, in addition to a 12"x12" Hologram "Cracked Ice" print of the album cover and a hologram sticker to commemorate the pressing. Vinyl colors will be shipped at random and include 10 - Clear with Glitter and splatter (Friends Press) Limited to 100 10 - Glow In The Dark - Limited to 300 15 - Black, White and Neon Green Segment - Limited to 500 15 - Blue, Neon Orange and White Merge - Limited to 700 150 - Black, Neon Orange and Yellow Segment - Limited to 1000

New Gel EP up for pre-order, I'm expecting Stateside release to be put up soon? https://devildogdistro.com/products/gel-persona-ep-devil-dog-exclusive Played the first track to be put up on their Bandcamp page, excellent! Comes in at nearly 3 minutes! https://store.bluegrapemusic.com/products/gel-persona-pre-order https://gelhardcore.com/

the whole thing is super off in unpleasant kind of way. Like I feel song supposed sound like a "rough lo-fi/analogue tape demo" but it sounds clean, badly mixed/produced with some stock presets slapped on guitar in a hurry. Based on how he sings text feels like it supposed to be personal and sad. it. But its just stupid and awkward. Video feels like it supposed to be "old found tape" or something. But it looks irritatingly modern and out of place. Anthony looks happy and playfull in the video. But I can't shake the feeling that I watch a guy who will commit suicide in a few weeks. Overall very eerie video\song.

That means you’re 69th. Nice.

AFAIK it’s only with Cove. I guess the better way to phrase this is: “I wish labels would stop making artists do this.” I believe they are doing this exactly why Taylor Swift, Senses Fail, etc have all done this. A label won’t give up the rights to the music so they’re hoping fans will just move on to this version on streaming services.

Year Zero is still coming soon. I think it's been about 7 years at this point. Maybe i'll go drop a bunch of money on an OG so the reissue can move forward.

There's been a running conversation with Sean who runs their distribution company about it on this page of this thread for like...the last week.

New Thou up at www.sacredbonesrecords.com

"Kscope is thrilled to announce that throughout 2024 and into 2025 we will begin re-releasing the Oceansize catalogue, featuring their releases from 2007 onwards. Starting with a bang as an orange 12” on Record Store Day, the first release will be the EP Home & Minor, never before released on vinyl." https://kscopemusic.com/oceansize-join-kscope/

I opened a store back in July 2023, Collectors Cult Records. Located in the East Bay Area in Martinez CA Id say we are more of a Hardcore/Punk/Metal type store but we got something for everyone. if anyones ever in that area please consider stopping by!

The dude makes amazing music, too bad he's a POS nazi

got my tri color today and it was packed like it was a delicate pastry from a fancy bakery.

They ended up scrapping this record and are supposedly going in a heavier direction now. What they had ready for 2024 was essentially Voyeurist 2.0 but more synth-heavy and experimental alongside the poppier elements. I had heard some demos and I'm happy they are going in a different direction. Likely an early 2025 release for this new album while they capitalize on this TOCS 20 year tour through the end of this year. We'll get a song or two by year end.

New jam, really hope this means more incoming and not false hope like my above post from, wow, 5 years ago.

Agreed! It's gonna be in my top played records for the year I'm sure of it. If ya'll haven't picked it up yet, you should buy it from Eric at Dropping Bombs - I did. https://droppingbombs.bigcartel.com/product/contention-artillery-from-heaven-lp Eric has an exclusive half and half color record limited to 100 and he's an all around good guy.

After finding out who the director was and that Trent and Atticus scored it, I figured it had to be deeper than that trailer.

Sorry to nitpick but I have cancelled USPS labels before and gotten refunded. It's possible. Takes some time but it's easy. Also if they didn't ship it within 4 days and that's against their seller terms, they're also in the wrong. So 4 days as an example can actually be a problem and going against their own word without communication. I don't know their full back and forth. Just playing devil's advocate here. There are a lot of godawful buyers and sellers out there (just look at the ETID thread lol)

That Challengers score rips. Sick movie too.

My copy of NFG shipped this morning. Got RxB a week or two ago. TTTH said TEN is shipping after NFG. I emailed them in early April for an update. Odd there haven’t been any new preorders in 2024 yet.

Not buy it.

Was also able to grab ATDI, love this shop!

Target edition arrived today. And if you have the time, go read the Paste review of the record. It’s a bit brutal but speaks a few truths & makes good points.

That was a pleasant surprise.

Well. My store didn’t even get their allotted copy of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. The owner told me that if they receive it in a later shipment, he’ll hold it for me. But he did have the Malfunkshun for me. So that’s cool & snagged that.

$44.99 for a double LP isn't that bad is it?

Just bumping this because your band is awesome and the new songs sound great!

thats cool and all but youre about 40 years too late on that. i havent listened to the track but i bet it sounds like most SG which makes half the people on here dizzy and the other half angry some of the best music of this century has been made with a keyboard and a hard drive (edit: not even that kind of keyboard)

I'm with you on this. Yeah...seems like homie is hung up on some semantic stuff here. Like, if she'd been fully forthright and credited the producer would they still be upset? And it sounds like the issue is only with her "best" track. Rappers constantly buy already made tracks and put their lyrics over them, is that also not "real" music? Tons of pop artists have someone else write for them and are popular/easy to listen to or other bands have only one songwriter in the group and the rest of the band just plays their songs. I just don't have the bandwidth to get upset over this kind of stuff.

So, these people?

When I first started buying vinyl 15 or so years ago, I had also just discovered Thou. I hunted down all of their releases at that point and made the conscious decision to be a completionist with their discography (sans variants). Little did I know what I was in for, ha! Still following them all these years later. Great band. Not for everyone.

The new Eels album (“Eels Time”) is currently on sale on Amazon for $12.49! It’s a pre-order, comes out June 7th: https://a.co/d/bdew57g

I run our distribution company. The Jakob records are so good but took forever to sell. I’ll chat with Ryan about it. For awhile a decade ago, he was doing archival presses and it’s something I’d like to bring back. It was a great idea then and that hasn’t changed.

It only took 60% of the members quitting and for the band to not be so great anymore, but I finally was able to pre-order a colored pressing of a Gimmes record.

Contact another record store and sell the inventory to them.

My order still hasn't shipped either, for what it's worth.

Mike mentioned the label putting out Home and Minor will be reissuing all the other albums from Superball including Feed to Feed.

Also in that vein...and adjacent to Nothing and Whirr...check out Wisp. She does some fuzzed out heavy shoegaze.

It's been over 2 weeks of these allegedly shipping and I still haven't gotten tracking. I bought them the minute they went up. I swear we can't trust them to do anything right. It's not this hard for literally everyone else.
