No Doubt announced the release of their new album "Push and Shove" on September 25th. The first single on the album will be entited "Settle Down" and will be released July 15th. I'm really hoping this is going to be a return to their early days stylisticly. When I saw them in 2009, they played a good bit of older stuff and also a cover of the Skatalites classic "Guns of Navarone". Also Keeping fingers crossed for a vinyl release of this album. http://www.billboard.com/news/no-doubt-to-push-and-shove-on-sept-25-1007303952.story#/news/no-doubt-to-push-and-shove-on-sept-25-1007303952.story

Have you ever tried to ship pure gold before?

Those would both be equally pathetic.

Willing to let these go for fairly cheap!

I'm actually interested in this, but I don't think I can afford that price.

Bump!

Adam Mcilwee of Tigers Jaw has a side-project called Wicca Pha$e $prings Eternal, which I described as “witch house via Brian Eno via a room full of lava lamps and murky bong water”. You can pre-order the 7” here. The test press (pictured above) is beautz.

There seems to be a lot of Mae fans out there so I thought I would let all of you know that the Mae/Modern Dance 7" split is still available through Search and Rescue Records. It's only $4. What a deal. http://store.searchandrescuerecords.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SNRV001

I was thinking maybe we could do a VC dropbox kind of thing, where we would all share tracks/albums... I mean, you can't download them, so it'd only be streaming and not stealing or illegally sharing.. And naturally, you wouldn't post anything that hasn't been released unless its cool with the artist. Maybe with each album we could have a pdf on where to buy the record, too? It'd be a cool way for a ton of people to be introduced to many different styles of music and bands they might never hear about? Would also be a good way for VC bands to get their music out!! Anyways, If you're interested, PM me your email, and I could send a link to a VC folder (you have to be invited) and we could get this shit started!

Turbonegro's new album Sexual Harassment is out now digitally and is available to pre-order on LP or CD here (all LP and CD pre-orders will receive an immediate digital download of the album). Available for pre-order is a limited edition LP version pressed on pale flesh-colored vinyl housed inside a denim sleeve all inside a widespine jacket. The standard LP is nothing to sneeze at either, neon pink colored vinyl in a gatefold "glow in the dark" jacket. LP and CD are set for release on August 7th. Available @ Volcom Entertainment ----- I've always wondered how a record would look in jeans. Wonda no longa!!!

Hi guys, Sorry to start a new topic , but I was hoping some of you guys could help me out. I transfered money to a guy named " LowerThanPiss" when the old board still was up. He promised me to send me a trackingnumber for the record he would sent , due to shipment to Belgium. The last reply I've got from him is from May the 29th and on the old board. I've sent him an email , but still no response. Anybody know who this guy is or dealed with him earlier ? Is he solid ? If I'm correctly he selled some records to go to France or something. Anyway, I would like to receive my None More Black record! Cheers, Dimitri

No, he's Forrella

FALSE!!!!!! The blue and silver split variant of the Sink or Swim Demos 7" and the gold/orange variant of the Senor and the Queen 2x7" were both tour variants. /end nerd rant

VinyIs

Here's me getting married.

delivery confirmation dude. keep your receipts from the post office. take a picture of the items before you ship them out. if a buyer says they're damaged ask for pictures/for him to send it back and then you'll refund. people that are bullshitting won't want to send it back. if you're worried about legitimate damage done to the records, insure dem janx.

down to $128 with free shipping at amazon, $155 at TRL

Back up at 4am. They've got a regular packaged copy, at $10, the 'artist' edition at $15, and a test press package at $25. Two dollar shipping.

I had a custom MTM suit done for my wedding. I need more excuses to wear it, but don't want to look like a neckbeard who's trying too hard. I guess I need to take the wife out to fancier dates. Gaining an interest in men's fashion has been harder on my bank account than record collecting. I own so many shoes now /

The heat lost. all is good.

Don't worry guys, Casey is still around and smiting me several times a day! As is Dashax too, even though I've never done anything to him. Whatever gets them off, I guess...

Up! Make me some offers!

I see you're looking for Live 06 red...I have this for sale if you're up to make an offer.

To the top for the day!

A bunch of stuff gone. Willing to make deals!

NON-BARCODED VARIANT.

First off, Polk is a pretty good brand of mid-range speakers, so great starting point. As for all the info in the table, I'll do my best at explaining it. The first thing listed is the woofer size. This is what many people call 'a speaker'. Basically, it is part of what creates the noise that you will hear. In the majority of bookcase speakers, these Polks included, it produces sounds in mid-range frequencies. I'll go more in depth about all the frequencies later, just know that your woofer is what produces the majority of audible noise, which means it is one of the most important parts. These bookshelves have two woofers, something I notice Polk has been doing a lot lately. Some companies like to only put one woofer in, which is what I personally prefer. However both of the Polk woofers are 5-1/4" diameter. This is the minimum size you want in a bookshelf, so in that regard, you are good. Next up is the tweeter, which is what produces the high-frequency sounds. It's a single 1" dome tweeter, which is the standard for mid-range audio today. Most companies use a dome, whereas others, like Klipsch, use a horn. It's a personal choice, but I typically lean towards dome. Oh, and all those descriptive words about the dome and tweeter? I wouldn't worry too much about it. It just explains what type they are and how they are made. For your price range, every speaker is going to be made about the same way. Overall frequency range is a very important spec on features. When recreating music you want to be able to hear everything that was captured, and thus, want to hear all of the range. Humans have the ability to hear from 20Hz to 20,000Hz (or 20kHz), but many scientists now believe we can notice differences in sound all the way down to 17Hz and up to 23,000kHz. These Polks go from 47Hz to 25kHz, with an upper and lower -3db limit of 24kHz and 57Hz. The reason -3db is used here is because that is the difference that human ears can decipher. Now what about all the music I'll be missing out on between 17Hz and 47/57Hz you ask? Well that is a very good question. That is why we use subwoofers. They are made specifically for low-frequency sounds, normally 80Hz and below. If you will be using these speakers for home theatre as well, you may want to invest in one. However, if you're only using them for your turntable, you may be fine without one. If you at this chart here, you'll see very little music is below 40Hz. Recommended amplifier power is pretty straight forward. Whatever amp or receiver you use will put out a certain amount of power, normally measured in watts per channel. I think the average these days is either 50 or 75 watts. The recommended for these speakers is between 20 and 125 watts. If you don't have enough power, you won't get good sound, and too much power ends with you having blown out speakers. It seems like these will be fine with almost any amp you have, so no worries there. Crossover is the frequency at which the woofer stops making sound and the tweeter starts taking over. 2.3kHz seems like a good number, but honestly I can't remember what mine are. Efficiency and inputs I wouldn't worry too much about. If I recall, for bookshelves you want efficiency to be close to 90dB, 89 is close enough. Nearly every speaker you look at will have the exact same inputs too. Dimensions are explanatory, if it fits in whatever space you have, you're good. Rear panel vented means the air comes out the back instead of the front. This can create an effect of surrounding with music, however the speakers must be placed correctly then. For rear firing, I would recommend at least a foot of space between the back of the speaker and the wall it goes against. If you have rooms, this creates a much better sound. At the very least, do not put the speakers flat against the wall. The last major thing to note about the speakers is their weight. Back in the early days of audio, a great way to determine the quality of a speaker was to pick it up and see how much it weighed. Heavier weights meant two things: the company cared about its construction, and thus would care more about its sound quality; and two a heavier speaker meant that it couldn't be shaken as easily, and would create the best sound possible. A 5-year warranty is standard in the industry, but for the most part, speakers last a long time. In conclusion, I would say these speakers are a pretty good entry pair into the market. This pair will be better than the majority of speakers other people have in their house, despite what it may seem on here. However, I say that without ever hearing the speakers, and that is where you must truly make your decision; how they sound to you. If you can, go to a local audio store, preferably an actual audio store, not Best Buy or anything of that like. Most stores will let you take your own music or movies to test out, and decide then. If you are looking for any other recommendations though, here are a few I found in your price range. The Polk TSi200 and the TSi100, both with similar specs to yours, and with them also being Polks, they'll have a similar sound. They're available in cherry or black, but I personally love the cherry, albeit it is a bit more expensive. These Martin Logans look really interesting, but note that they are much smaller. I have also been hearing great things about Audioengine, and these would fit your budget. They only have a 4" woofer, but are front-ported. Another speaker you could look at that is a bit smaller are PSBs. Despite their size, they sound absolutely amazing. I almost just bought the Image B4s, but they only have a 4" woofer. The Alpha B1s are bigger, but are in the line below. I have personally heard these though, and believe that they sound better than anything in the price range. As I said earlier, the best thing you can do is go into a store and listen for yourself. The specs on those Polks are all there, but normally, there is something intangible about speakers that pulls you to them, not some asinine spec sheet. If I had to guess, they'll sound great and you'll be very happy with them. Best of luck in buying some new speakers, and hopefully I taught you a little something about speakers.

i have one project at Rainbo, one at Gotta Groove currently.

Bump!

Bump! A few things gone!

Throw this to the top for today

That. Was. Fucked. Did GoT just do a crossover episode with the Walking Dead?

I really hope they clear a lot of the side stories up, but I doubt they'll get to everything. Man, this shits going to be insane.

Did you really need to give me 10 -1s today Casey?

Not selling either, only trading them for stuff I really want.

jesus christ! there just some things you don't talk about in public! i knew someone would get it.

so did he cum or what?

after being so attached to Invisible Children for the past 8 years or so i will not lie over the past couple of days with all the backlash coming around i did have to take a step back and ask myself "what have i been supporting". most of you know that i (robbed.the.bank RECORDS) put together a benefit record, have had a couple of screen printed posters made. so i have been looking at all the criticism and talking with some people. i personally stand where i have been, in full support of the invisible children. im not saying that everyone should feel the way that i do, it is just a decision that i have come with. i will say that before you start to become involved with an organization it is good to really look into it. i think people that are just now becoming aware of the events in africa shouldn't just jump in and say 'we support IC', they should do research. i dont know if any of what i am saying makes any sense (i still havent had any coffee yet this morning) but i hope you get the idea.

Of course they didn't know. If I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me if Vermont was in Canada, I'd have a lot of dollars. And that is our own country! Generally, people don't know shit.

can't take this guy down without getting in a gun fight with a bunch of children. jus' sayin'

That was a pretty good read. Thanks for the post. Agreed! Thanks! I don't really have any beef with the financial aspect of it. Awareness and acquisition is expensive for everyone. Large companies spend billions on it for a reason. The idea that non-profits should or could do it for cheaper doesn't hold much water for me. Same with the argument that they shouldn't get paid a decent salary while doing so. The military arguments are much more compelling. The situation in Dafur was clearly exacerbated, to put it lightly, by US arming the Sudanese as way to counter Marxists in Ethiopia and Libya. That kind of short-term involvement in African powder kegs is asking for trouble. Uganda is theoretically the same, it's just so unstable right now. My bigger picture outlook: Things that get people thinking beyond themselves about more philanthropic efforts is a positive. This particular not-for-profit may be a less than ideal starting point, but it's better than no starting point.

Need a few bucks and getting over all the doubles I have in my collection, anybody want these? Buy more than one and we can make a deal. $31ppd Harvard (HRVRD) - The Inevitable and I (seagreen w/ blood splatter) /200 SOLD $26ppd RX Bandits - Progress /20 SOLD Balance and Composure - A Separation (white vinyl) /500 Hot Water Music - A Flight And A Crash (Grey Mix vinyl) /420 Hot Water Music - Caution (Swirly Gray vinyl) /200 Hot Water Music - Exister (No Idea, brown/blue swirl) /500 Hot Water Music - Finding The Rhythms - (17th pressing, dark gray mix vinyl) /350 Joyce Manor - Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired (Blue vinyl - AMR exclusive) /500 Sigur Rós – Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust (sealed) Slapstick - S/T (Asian Man Records 2x LP reissue, black) /500 Suicide Machines / Rudiments Split (2x LP red vinyl) /200 Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler (black vinyl) /150 Make offers on tradelist?

I hope they have a different tour press every night of the tour for the next two years. Giving tickets out to every fifth person in line, you then pay $5 at the merch booth to put your ticket into the lottery. Three hours after the end of the show, they will draw out thirty names. Those thirty people must name as many Gaslight Anthem songs they can in 30 seconds. Top 15 people get to purchase the record.

Please buy something. Offer less. Bills to pay.

I sold the mother last night, and I'm gunna keep two of these guys then give the rest to a pet store when they're bigger (prolly at least a month or two)

what a joke

Indeed, I was called that! It still stings and pains me to this day. I guess someone didn't like a few things I typed and really got quite cross with me. I'm happy to say though, that the negative interactions between that individual and myself have ceased. Now i can go back to posting about music! Yay! Here's to brighter days ahead! Cheers!

All I want is to hear the music. Why is the street date still so far away? It's too nice outside today to not be enjoying this album on the back porch.

Didn't rock steady come out in 2001?
