The grog is my favorite venue.

I have an easel next to my turntable that I put the sleeve of whatever I'm currently playing. For example yesterday:

Blue vinyl is up at Interpunk.

Colors: Blue/"Sun Fire" split White Black New Song pre-order

We apologize for all the chaos over the last few days (See below for promised details/explanation).

To the best of our knowledge all threads posted BEFORE Tuesday May 29th at 5 pm EST have been successfully moved over to the new boards. Any threads created after this time, including the temporary section have not been moved over. New Rules and Guidelines We are compiling a list of new rules and guidelines based on the feedback received by the community which will be posted today - Sunday June 3rd! Stay tuned for details. New Features! The new boards offer a variety of new features that both benefit us as forum moderators and administrators, and even more the members. We are excited to be able to offer VC a place to grow and develop our vinyl collecting community. Although I will be starting a new thread dedicated to listing the new features as well as assisting the members with getting acquainted with them, here is a sneak peek: Members: - Enhanced Text Editor - Full content search (Yes you can now search for relevant threads!!!) - Share content to Facebook and Twitter - Single Sign In with Twitter and Facebook - Recent Topic Panel - Mobile site (no app needed!) - Mobile Phone App available for $1.99 - Enhanced Profile fields and customization - Block other members (if someone annoys you, you no longer have to view their posts!!) - User rating system Moderation - Can issue detailed suspensions before banning. - Can limit suspended user access - Limit new users access until they have reached a certain post level - And other cool/nerdy stuff members probably wont really be concerned with! Miscellaneous Thank you everyone for being patient with us over the last few days. We really appreciate it and assure you that even though it should not have happened the way it did, it is worth it! When SRC acquired the board as a partner with MTS/AFS our plan was to expand and grow the forums abilities as well as develop www.vinylcollective.com as a news site. There were a few issues with the partnership that of course slowed down that process. In March of this year we worked something out with MTS/AFS to gain full control. Since then we have been working on planning and creating a lot of what you will see over the next few months. Although we feel proboards is one of many great places to start a forum and has been a great home to VC for many years, we weren't sure it was for us. One of our biggest issues is with the terms of service section 21 YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE; BACKUP OF DATA YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE AND SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. YOU WILL NOT HOLD PROBOARDS OR ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS, AS APPLICABLE, RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY OF YOUR COMPUTERS OR DATA. THE INFORMATION AND SERVICES MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, PROBLEMS OR OTHER LIMITATIONS. IMPORTANTLY, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A CATASTROPHIC DISK FAILURE OR OTHER EVENT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF ALL OF THE DATA RELATED TO YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BACKUP YOUR DATA TO YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER OR EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICE AND TO ENSURE SUCH BACKUPS ARE SECURE. When we first acquired the site from Virgil our first goal was to create a back up of this data for obvious reasons. We do not own any web content that is not backed up at VERY minimum once a month. In 2011 VC had over 4 years of data that we of course wanted to be sure was safe and backed up SOMEWHERE!!! Even if it was just once a month. So I had contacted proboards to work out a way to back up the data. The representative told me that Proboards does not provide a way to back up your data. The guy essentially told me that they wont assist with back ups because we can than use it to move the forums to another provider. I also had a few of our tech guys call proboards to do the same request (since they know more about that stuff and the lingo of how to make it actually happen) and they got similar answers. So essentially we are responsible for a back up but they wont grant you a way to do that without violating their TOS because they do not want you to take your data elsewhere. After several months of investigating a way to get this back up we finally found someone to do it. On Tuesday May 29th we did this. Although we had been considering moving, we did NOT intend at this point to move the forums. We just wanted to finally have that back up we are responsible to have according to TOS 21 b.) On Thursday morning I woke up to find emails from many people telling me VC had been suspended. That is also when I got the email from Proboards. The proboards email essentially asked me if we were attempting to use a converter tool to move from proboards or if we were trying to get a back up of data. There was no mention of a possible suspension. It just said if we were attempting to get a back up to talk to them. If we were looking at moving off proboards and using a converter tool that was prohibited and to let them know what we were doing. Regardless, the site had already been suspended before we even had an opportunity to talk to Proboards. The email then proceeded to ask if we are looking to leave proboards to call Patrick and reconsider. At this point we were just looking to do a back up and I would have gladly talked to proboards if the suspension didn't happen before I even got that email. Where I was confused (and still am) and didn't understand the technical side is how is backing up my data, which I am required to, is considered using a bot against myself? Or whatever I am accused of. The bot stuff is what confuses me. All I know is that the terms of service clearly outlines we are responsible for our own back up. I have asked proboards myself and heard myself them tell me they do not actually assist or allow it in fear you will use this back up to move. I did talk to Patrick via email later that day and the ‘new’ explanation I received from them is they do not allow it because it creates stress on their servers. I understand how that can be an issue but at the same time they cannot issue a rule then not allow you in any way do what that rule says! We did attempt to talk to them several times to find a way to do a back up that would please them but the answer we all received from whomever answers phones at proboards is there is no way. So on Thursday morning we all got together and decided to go ahead and make the move with the data we backed up on Tuesday night. This is why it has taken so long. Although we were not prepared to do this our designer, server admin, coder and Danny all agreed they could make it happen ASAP! It was actually ready on Friday morning but there was a small glitch and all of Juan’s data was not tagged to his user ID. Considering Juan is our moderator and #Juan poster, we were not settling with that. So that is the story. All in all we really have nothing against Proboards and do highly recommend it to those who do not expect their forum to grow as much as VC did, who do not care if they can back up their data and who do not plan on moving off proboards one day. We really appreciate the fact that they were a home to VC for several years and are a bit sad how it all ended.

Hate to sell, but desperate times... So I bought this a while ago for $100. Then I bought a custom screened cover for it from Patrick for $20. I'd like to recoup my cost, if possible. From the third press. Out of 6. I will post a picture soon, unless someone buys it before then. I WILL ALSO TRADE FOR ANY OTHER THURSDAY LP TEST PRESS (besides Waiting). This just happens to be my least favorite Thursday album.

Leftovers of the 25th Anniversary LP are up now: http://revhq.com/store.revhq?Page=search&Id=REVF01 With this being out of /700 I doubt they'll last more than a few days. In better news the dates for the NYC run have been announced: Irving Plaza October 11-14 Quicksand is the rumored headliner. Hell Yeah!

hey folks! Very excited to announce the third installment of the Anchorless Records 4 Way Split 7" Series. Volume 3 will include: Off With Their Heads, The Slow Death, Sundowner, and The Outsiders. More details, release date and info coming soon. In the meantime if you don't have Vol 1 (Brendan Kelly, Chris Cresswell, Mike Hale, Jeff Rowe) or Vo1 2 (Dead To Me, In The Red, The Holy Mess, How Dare You) pick up a copy before they are OOP forever!!! www.anchorlessrecords.bigcartel.com cheers neil

Hey friend!

Finally put in my pre-order for this. Pretty stoked to hear these tracks. I know a lot of people weren't thrilled with American Slang, but I've actually been listening to it a lot lately. If the single is any indication, this album should be pretty rad.

i hoped this was going to be for a repress thread.

i feel like a lot of people were upset at the label not giving out too much information, however; i might be in the minority when i partially blame it on the distros. The record comes out in over a month from now and this pre-order has been up for even longer than that. I would think the distro should want to have more details before they place it up online and not jump the gun. if you feel i'm wrong, you can correct me though.

LP: Hot Water Music - Exister EP: Mauser - Isolation

You Blew It - Grow Up Dude (Even though my copy is unplayable lol) Daytrader - Twelve Years Ceremony - Zoo Some are slipping my mind most likely at the moment. Coming: Dikembe - Broad Shoulders Dowsing - It's Still Pretty Terrible Mixtapes - Even on the Worst Nights

I'm nt concerned. It's only a week or two extra. I love and respect Andy's work and it's obvious he's as upset as anyone.

Long work day. Humor was lost in translation. Side bar, I hate Mondays.

Wait, wait, wait...you mean to tell me that I have been playing and listening to my records all this time when I should have been hanging them on my walls?!?! I so have failed.

Dude is hella solid, best packaging I've yet to see and records packed properly! Shipped next day, received the following week. Hipster Backed 100%

Punctuation is a beautiful thing.

It is in your cart...go to the top of the page and click on your cart and then you can check out

I would snag one for you Janer05 but I dont know if they are going to restrict it to one per oder.

Not you Damian

Pirates Press doesn't press the orange like gold color. Wonder if Purple is the retail color.

Since this thread leaves me very uncomfortable I want to share this really eloquent essay on shared/pirated music. I have no intention of shaming anyone but this is such a well put argument that there is nothing I can say that will approach it. http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/letter-to-emily-white-at-npr-all-songs-considered/

yeah i can't help the restrictions... but you can indeed just ask someone on the board to help you out..

yea you should just cos your a dumbass doesnt mean you should pay over the odds for a record thats still aviailable for purchase........................................then again maybe you should

good dude, buy his stuff! you wont be disappointed.

dat ass

If they did ship on the 13th then we should have them tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

Bump for a peek at the back of the test press sleeves...

i always down-vote my posts.

eleanor rigby and your bird can sing what goes on i'm looking through you rubber soul and revolver are perfection imo

No.

I love this idea.

thanks travis. did you call them? I used my cell phone to call my work phone and I told myself what was up with this record

No Sleep never does that shiyut, it sucks haha.

collecting vinyl isn't something you can whenever you feel like, you gotta check in to the forums, follow labels on twitter, etc. Doing this "hobby" a couple of hours a month isn't going to cut it if you want the fancy pants versions

Got my copy on black as well... So good! Just out of curiousity, is the download code being sent out on the 19th? I think that's the official release date for these.

I've bought a TON of shit off of Damian, and other than shipping taking a little longer (he uses UPS through his work I believe), he's always given me great deals and packed stuff with care.

I hope they get here soon.

Thanks. Had to get a couple to hope for a split variant!

Wasn't sure if he meant the hot topic color, or the entire pressing. If it was the whole press, it's kinda sad the only way to know is from a third-party vendors word.

Sorry as I'm sure this has been asked but is the hot topic variant only in store starting today?

More than likely it's online only

I hope they go up tomorrow so I can use my ht cash.

about 150 up now. about ~60,000 to come. everything starts at 2 bucks. New and used. http://www.ebay.com/sch/vinyljunkiedistro/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=100&_sop=12&_rdc=1
