Spent today color matching records to colors to be printed. Yes I know there's no gray or white shown as those are the easier ones to match the vinyl to the print versus the print to the vinyl. Chreers, Todd

Crazy talk. This album is better than Crimson by far and better than a lot of Agony and Irony.

I didn't realize me giving cwhit a deal would start a full on war! Calm down guys! But for those of you that want to see us in your town you can do one of two things 1) email [email protected] or 2) Bug the shit out of Kevin and Seth on twitter on their personal accounts ;-) And thank you guys for all of your kind words about our album. That's the kind of stuff that keeps us going and doing this stuff. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! -Andrew

Hot Topic exclusive color. Looks pretty cool, there's a little green swirl on there, I doubt they all have that though.

I left a comment on Relient K's recent post asking them to make the vinyl available online and they "liked" my comment. Take that for what it's worth.

The retail version has The Ballad Of The Tragic Hero (Pity And Fear) as the b-side. There's also a promo that is deceiving. The b-side is Private Helicopter, but it lists Carlotta Valdez as the artist for some reason. I did some looking around to find out more about the Merrymakers LP and found an old VC thread about forgotten 90s bands where someone said they picked up a copy used for $4 at FYE. So if that and nelso are to be believed, it does exist.

Check out the cool cats handing out late passes...

No splatters, but this series is really awesome. Definitely looking forward to the next batch.

I didn't know that if there's a lot of interest in records listed that it turns into "make me your best offer". Kind of bullshit, IMO.

@Matthewhoopes said to me on Instagram that the vinyl will go up soon on the site for preorder!

I've known them for a long time and I have never seen them even come close to being dicks.

Anything The Aquabats! wish they made all of the picture discs back in the day

this album is going to be amazing

This is the best Alk Trio record in so long. It's so good.

Sweet. Thank you! Yeah, if they sell them online I'll get mine that way instead.

$50 + $3.88 on eBay is much more ridiculous.

Only Love alone is the best Trio song in the last 10 years. There are a couple of clunkers on this new album, but there are more than a handful of really great tunes.

If you don't like the new song you're allowed to give up.

For a pessimist I'm pretty good at bumping this thread.

Wow. Sounds like this entire pressing is a dud.

New song at 4 PM

sure isn't like AP here!!

Holy shit is this post real.

And people say vinyl is trendy lately...

Not sure if this dude's got any left, but count me among the happy customers. Fast shipping and the product is exactly what was described.

Got my old Thorens tt back from storage the other day and found out that I had completely forgotten about this Beastie Boys splimat. If only I could get my hands on one of those Grand Royal slipmats they made back in the day

If people are looking for an european distro, we have the red and gold version in stock here.

I like the Technics Pac-Man!

Arkham Asylum, have no idea why i didn't play this earlier. Started it today and will most likely finish it tomorrow.

Yeah, well he even sold off all of their gear. He needed to force a break on the NIN front. He did and hopefully that helped him out. I mean if someone as talented as him really threw in the towel for good something would be terribly wrong with this world

I bet these are something we'll see on ebay in 30 years for $100 and we'll remember this thread.

My copy looks like the scorpion picture disc, but the vinyl on the D-side is blue instead of clear. Mistake or...? Do I have a ticket out of the ghetto on my hands?

No war, just a discussion about the difference between sweet band dudes giving deals and kids that feel entitled to discounts and ask smaller bands for one bc they know they can haggle one.Can wait to hear these jams live, See ya in two weeks!

I'd offer more than cost, but the $100+ they were going for on eBay is way too much for a 7" released today.

The setting: Buffalo, NY in early February of 2010. Matt and I are both managers at an ice rink, and President's Day weekend we have a pretty big tournament. We sign up for extra shifts for events like these, so Matt takes the Saturday morning shift. Matt is a known partier, so our one boss already is skeptical about whether this is a good idea for an early shift, but Matt is actually really good about showing up to work no matter what. The build-up: A new strip club just opened, and Matt has been frequenting it quite a bit because, well why not? Who doesn't like strippers, especially when the place actually serves good steak, too? Friday Night: Matt has an open-bar fundraiser around Happy Hour. He goes and starts drinking hard because it's an open bar. Afterwards he ends up going downtown with one of the strippers who he had befriended, but at the one club, they kick him out because he threw up. He and the girl go to another club. After hanging out there for a bit, he goes out to his car for something. While he does that, his stripper friend waits around the corner of the bar smoking a cigarette. Matt is walking back from his car and sees three guys around the girl. He assumes they know her and thinks nothing of it at first. As he gets closer, he sees that the girl is upset and they seem to be giving her a hard time. He walks up and says, "what's going on?" One of the three replies, "you better get the fuck out of here if you know what's good for you." (just like any character in a movie would say, right?) In his mind, Matt goes, "alright..." and starts walking away, then clenches his fist and takes a HUGE charging 5-step swing at one of the guys and just blasts the guy in the jaw. The guy drops. Matt starts to turn toward the next guy but BLAM! He's hit hard by something from behind, blacks out, and drops to the ground. Saturday morning: ~6:45am. My phone rings, and it's my boss, but not the one who questioned whether Matt should work that morning. A different boss. Call him G. [we'll call the other boss M.. that comes later] I squint at my phone, because I'm blind. G - "Hey, uh.. do you know where Matt is?" Me - "uh.. no.... he didn't show up?" G - "No, he's not here and he usually calls if something comes up or he's going to be late. He's never just outright missed a shift before." Me - "I dunno.. he's probably dead in a gutter somewhere." G - "Well, I'm actually a little worried because like I said this is unusual, he never no-call-no-shows" Me - "Alright, I'll call around and see if I can find him and I'll let you know." I hang up, try to call him and it goes right to voicemail. I send him a text saying G was looking for him, then call one other friend who doesn't answer because it's not even 7am on a Saturday. I figured it was pointless to keep calling, so I go back to sleep. About 45 minutes or an hour later I get another call. It's G again. G - "Any word?" Me - "No, no one answered. His phone is off, but I'm guessing you knew that already." G - "Yea, we tried calling him. We're short a person right now, though, so can you come in?" Me - "uh.. yea, I'll be there in 20 minutes" I'm thinking, what an asshole, you better be in a gutter now. I work the shift til mid-afternoon or so, then go home, still no one has heard from him. About 8pm I get a text from a co-worker: "Holy shit! Matt was really almost dead!" Matt, without his phone, showed up to work just to check in. Here's where we learn the rest of the story. Back-up to Saturday morning. Matt wakes up in the hospital, turns his head and opens his eyes to see his mom, his dad (they're divorced), and the stripper sitting in the room. His mom immediately stands up and with angry-yet-disappointed-while-still-relieved tears leaves the room quickly. His dad actually starts laughing. The stripper just sits uncomfortably and then a nurse walked in. The nurse explained that he had been knocked out, broke his nose, had a gash over his eye, dislocated a wrist, broke two ribs, and took quite a beating otherwise. . The nurse goes through the standard check-out stuff, then goes, "oh, do you want this?" She holds up a bag filled with a bloody pen. Matt responds, "no, what the hell would I want with that?" The nurse adds this info: "We had to cut this out of you. It was jutting out of your chest; we had to siphon the ink out of your blood." Matt: "Wait... you gotta back up." From here, the stripper tells much more of the story. Back up again to Friday night as Matt is first hit and drops to the ground. As soon as he hits the ground, the two standing guys start stomping the shit out of him. The stripper runs around the corner to the bar to grab the bouncer. When she comes back, the three have done a good job on Matt, rifled through his pockets trying to take anything of value. His wallet was stolen, and they went to take his phone but it was a shit flip phone so they spiked it back at him. As they ran away, one found a pen on the ground, stopped, picked it up, then turned and stabbed Matt in the chest right over his heart. The stripper gets back to him, the bouncer went back in to call 911, and Matt is in and out of consciousness. He's alert enough to know he doesn't have health insurance so he convinces the girl to help him into the car and drive him to the hospital instead of taking the $1000-taxi ride. Then he blacks out for good, probably bleeding out because his BAC when they measured him at the hospital was about a .35 at the time. They couldn't even give him medicine because they were afraid his blood was too thin as it was. Now up to Saturday morning again. The stripper is gone, and he's walking out of the hospital with his mom and dad. His dad laughs and says, "at least you left me with something to look at." His mom, again near crying, says, "do you know what you said in the middle of the night?" Matt obviously doesn't. While the nurse was talking to him and everyone was in the room, he goes, "this means she's gotta put out, right?" His mom wasn't a fan. When Matt gets home Saturday night, he calls his voicemail. M, the other boss, had left him about 5 voicemails, each one progressively angrier. He was swearing in the last couple, actually yelling into the phone, meanwhile, Matt nearly was dead in a gutter like I joked about. Prologue: Matt saw the girl exactly one more time and never did get to hook up with her. I have since made sure that every new employee we get at the ice rink hears this story. He has since had 2 or 3 other near-death experiences, one a texting-while-driving story where G texted him bc Matt had told him he was going to be about 5 min late to work. G responded "ok" and while Matt was reading it, he drove up the front of a snow-plow and completely rolled his truck, which was totaled. He had a MASSIVE concussion from that one and had headaches months later from it. But he's still alive, somehow. Around the time of this story, his "catchphrase" was "living the dream!" Anytime anyone called him out for doing something not-smart, that was his response. I had always told him he should write a book about his life, so when this happened, I told him that the title for this chapter of the book was pretty obvious: "The dream nearly ends."

To the OP, what you have to consider was that for decades vinyl was the leading format for music. Tapes dominated the 80s, CDs decreed the 90s, and records were always there in the background. Maybe its wishful thinking, but I see vinyl resurgences more as a reclamation of power and return to the norm over lesser formats than a trend. But I don't know who's buying records and why. However, I do see somethings that point to trend a could lead to a collapse. 1. 180 gram record. Record labels will have the consumer believe that 180 gram records are a sonically superior product. Not true. They also claim that 180g records are less prone to warping. Anyone receiving records in the summer knows this is also not true. Almost all my 180g records are warped whereas my thin records are flexible and fine. 2. Colored vinyl. Colored vinyl doesn't always sound worse than black, its really up to the mastering and how worn the stampers are that determine the quality of sound. However, when you get into crazy things like splatters, half and half, and glow in the dark vinyl, you introduce new elements of surface noise that detract from the purpose of a higher auditory experience in order to have something pretty. 3. Consumer fatigue. Here's something no one talks about, but I'm sure all can relate to this pattern: 1. new enthusiast getting started scoffs at record pressed on 5 colors. thinks collectors are fools. 2. complacency sets in with color owned, looks at pretty pictures of variants on the internet 3. decides to buy a variant to see what its like. 4. has desire to get another 5. becomes hooked, gets the rest, no matter how expensive 6. time passes, records sit on a shelf unlistened to. shelf looks stupid having 5 copies of the same album 7. new pressing is pressed on 3 new colors, buys them all not out of desire, but in order to maintain collection That's where the consumer fatigue steps in and it could possibly threaten this resurgence of records.

Went and saw "Mud" last night. What a spectacular film. After despising Matthew mcCaugnahey(sp?) For a long long time, This and Killer Joe might be changing my mind about him

Will sell my OG copy of From Scene To Shining Scene.

Thanks dude. What was even better about it was that it was at $34 and I bid $300.99 with 8 seconds left. Won it for $36 plus shipping. THAT was an adrenaline rush.

So it looks like we fixed the issues regarding people not being able to save items but only using the VC Skin. If you are using the VC Color Blind skin you are still not able to save items. I am working on fixing this right now. I added the HUM release to your collection and it works fine using the VC theme. When i change the theme to VC Color Blind it did not work. I was not aware that both theme's needed coded. We were under the impression it had nothing to do with the themes. Will update everyone soon!

Wood glue. No joke I use it all the time and it works beautifully
