i'm doin' the sober thing again. 5 days strong as of today. not even pot. smokin' cigs like a muhfugga tho.

please videochat with any potential roommates so you do not get catfished.

i find that i'm not a total goofy bastard when i'm not high of half drunk all day. i'm usually annoying as hell in person (if not here too). it's hard being double super dad now that the wife is gone, so i figured it was best for everyone if i did this. i had the shakes for a few days, but i've gotten over 'em. i'm proud of myself. actin' all mature and shit.

Instead of the records getting sent out a month late, they went out a month early!

Are you drinkin' drugs?

Shat is always upset about something. Seriously, what around here makes you happy? You are the Jack Lemmon of VC.

If he's a real VC'er he'll now collect all of the variants of the cart, perhaps lining up the red, blue, bronze, and white ones on a shelf unopened.

and tried to scalp his ticket to this show as well

i'll sell you my merch sign for $20

Live albums are the worst

Because sex is the only thing attractive girlfriends and relationships are good for.

Just got home and settled in. Check it out, guys: I was able to get the six for everyone who pre-payed, one for myself, and one that is up for grabs (and is PENDING) as well as stickers and little buttons for everyone to go along with the 7", everyone will recve the white color cover. Koji was nice enough to let me buy all of these, I caught him in a local sneaker shop before the show and I told him what the deal was and he was cool with it, he also threw in the tote bag for me for free as a thank you/birthday present/carrying case. And I bought the Koji/La Dispute split 12", which he said is now OOP and when they are sold, that is. As well as the split with Into It. Over It. Everyone who ordered I will not be able to ship until Monday afternoon, sorry I have work the next four days (but go in at night on Monday) after having the last two off for my birthday. I will PM everyone tracking!

EDIT: News from the prp: • Deftones: Live: Volume 1 – Selections from Adrenaline One disc vinyl 12″ EP – Quantity N/A Songs from Adrenaline hand-picked by Deftones and recorded live at Memorial Auditorium in Buffalo, New York, on Oct. 13, 1996. The initial release in a series of seven vinyl exclusive releases with the first release being a Record Store Day exclusive and the last planned to be a Black Friday independent exclusive retail release. Finally, the light of day has come. Cut for vinyl by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios from the original live analog sources and pressed on both 120- and 180-gram highest-quality vinyl at Record Technology Inc. http://www.theprp.com/2013/03/01/news/deftones-kick-off-new-vinyl-live-series-on-record-store-day-avenged-sevenfold-linkin-park-reveal-new-vinyl-plans/ ------------------------------------------- Go to 9:20 on the link: http://www.kegl.com/pages/sixxsense.html?article=10786777 Chino describes it will be 4 to 5 songs from each album/era put on vinyl No details on the format (12", 10", 7" etc.) Probably would be about 2 to 3XLP. It bears clarifying that it seems to be the concept for the renditions of the songs to be live performances performed in the actual era in which the song was newest. I know this is pretty premature but its exciting nonetheless. Discuss!

I go out for day beers with my buddy Monday through Friday. He gets a break between 1 and 2:30 so we always meet at the pub. I spend about $20 a day on beers at the bar. That's $100 a week. That's $5200 a year. That's STUPID.

So awesome. I've been clean from 'other things' for a little over two years now. It's amazing how clearly you begin to think after awhile. You realize how cloudy your mind was before. A bigger plus is you can buy twice as many records (or more) and still have money to spare.

Start applying for a 2nd mortgage.

My hometown rocks. Stay out of it.

when i can buy records again i'll just get the 15th press or whatever /joke'sbeenmade

Toki I'm just tossed you $10 for the cause but you can just leave me out of the raffle, I don't have any use for the print.

http://www.earcandycharity.org/ This is an awesome charity. I don't care if I win the poster. I just wanted to get it to the point where money would be going to this good cause. If you have a couple bucks, throw it toki's way. I LOVE THIS.

I have always felt that live albums are like greatest hits. Put some tracks out that people know and hope they buy it

Don't you make the offers in this situation?

you shouldn't keep your record on their sides ps you have a cool gravity defying room

boo this man

No. It's the same reason I don't buy jet fuel.

Every time someone posts an auction from Issei my soul dies a little, it's like posting LazyLab's stuff.

Instagram, Facebook & twitter

shut up.

my hands were literally shaking when i opened this one.

Once you go black you can never resell and get your money back.

Buy black and shut up.

"Record labels first need see that this is happening" You've been living in a hole, huh? The reason for the variants is to drive a collectors market that helps move records. Variant collectors of popular bands are bread and butter. Kids on the fence about a new band jump in for a limited variant. As to buying more than one copy of a release - not my standard operating procedure but I have no shame in knowing I can trade an LP for one I missed and is now being flipped. To use your example - I traded a Floral Green for a Shed on Blue straight up. I then gifted my black vinyl Shed to someone else. To me, the system works. I have no shame in that I avoided paying $80 for that copy of Shed by grabbing two Floral variants. Way back in the day I traded my Crippled Youth 7" for a Sick of it All and Chain 7" - you know, I wasn't interested in getting the $3 I paid for it when I made that deal in 1996. Judge me all you want but there is nothing wrong with finding a way to fill holes in your collection. You're overly serious and angry about it. You make it sound like you got into buying vinyl in 2012. Revelation perfected limited releases in the 80's and it's been copied ever since. Your internet rage might make you feel better but it isn't worth much.

so mr. ry i watched both the new girl and community tonight. in conclusion new girl > community. i said it before but new girl actually makes me laugh out loud. community didn't do that tonight. sure the episode had some good parts but overall it was just meh for me. lates.

Shes not your girl, you tell her, shit.

That's awesome buddy. I'm on month two of sobriety and it's going pretty damn well. The first two weeks were awful, due to alcohol withdrawal (I really did drink a lot), but after that passed it's been awesome, especially knowing the money I pissed away can go toward actual items that I can keep longer than a few hours.

Nice article on the making of the deluxe CD and LP: http://www.thinktankmedia.co.uk/blog/Atoms

Headline: Dumb Thread gets Better Thanks to Rad.

Soup is my favorite, would definitely buy that. On the fence about buying this release but I probably will if its around $20-25

look what i can do. i got blair to sign that Day Three 10" the last time (actually, the only time) Jealous Sound came thru STL. i'm a slut like that.

Haha, I said something similar in the Blind Melon thread.

If you're indecisive on whether to grab the 180g or not, there's only 56 left. Just giving you the heads up.

It was actually Pleasant Dreams, Subterranean Jungle, Too Tough To Die, and then Animal Boy so the precedent of ignoring order of release has already been set.

Dislike

i have reached my like quota...

Currently doing the typical related video after related video on youtube thing. Just wanted us all to remember that time in Evander Kane's rookie year when he fucking laid out Matt Cook with 1 punch. Fuck that was so awesome. http://youtu.be/3WKAY7BETEg

Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.

I don't understand the pissing contest; you all had the money to place bids and make purchases through ebay.

trying to get the first two goldfinger records done, waiting for an email back from John Feldman about it
