Came in to see about a stream...

Reports are in. adamrfox is officially a 15 year old girl.

And this is what we can't have nice things on VC. Any personal "issues" you may have w/ another VC member, please take it to PM's and off the boards. The "public shaming" that has been more and more of a trend around here has gotten tiresome.

The internet is serious fucking business.

This is getting ridiculous. And honestly, if everyone wasn't such a whiney stain, you could've gotten lucky on it, but hey, everyone had to complain that the guy bought them up. Oh well! Sucks for the people who didn't know the store had them before, but tough shit for them. Not like they'll know anyway. If they wanted it that badly, they could've put in an order for it through their shop, or just, oh, I don't know, get it elsewhere. People have reasons for doing what they do. I flip sometimes, yeah, but I also try to balance it out by selling things at sometimes more than reasonable prices. It's not something I'm proud of doing (the flipping), but it's also something that I don't fucking blab about and advertise 'cause holy fuck, there are some goddamned animals here. (If people want to hunt me down on the bay, I'm not hard to find, anyway, so oh well.) So people try to play their hand in a the low-level stock market-esque game of flipping. Who cares? Why do you care? is it jealousy? It is the "that could've been mine!" factor? Is it a matter of being envious of the money needed to get the record in the first place? I don't even know what to put here anymore 'cause right now I'm pulling stuff out of the air, but for God's sake why is it so hard to just say "oh well, someone else got something that is highly sought after and now I will have to pay a premium for it. Maybe next time?" I mean, fuck if it means that much to you, I defy you to start your own record store and never sell anything for the original MSRP when the record originally came out. Good luck if you ever cross paths with a copy of Deja or Futures. Sell Deja for $20 and Futures for $25. I fucking DARE you. Sell an OG press of Chung King for a couple bucks. Sell off a copy of sink or Swim on black for $12 or $15. I guaran-goddamn-tee you would not. So if someone picks up a bunch of copies and becomes, in a sense, a small store, why is he so evil for this? Whatever store this was would've done the exact same thing. Don't fool yourselves. Duder doesn't have to explain anything to you. He doesn't. "Why didn't you do *blah blah blah*?" Because he wanted to do otherwise! "Why don't you sell them at cost?" Because he doesn't want to and doesn't NEED to explain why! No one needs to explain anything about their motivations to everyone because this is not Soviet goddamned Russia. No one needs to show anyone their papers about their intent to sell a fucking record. Being a victim in the past (someone took issue with how I was spending the money that i earned from selling my own records*), I just want the policing of what people do with their money and the choices they make to fucking stop. It's absolutely outrageous. It's not your fucking money to preside over. And if they buy something with it, it's not your place to tell someone what they can do with it. But seriously, once another member puts you in charge of a trust fund in their name, go for it, but why the fuck can't people just leave people alone? People are going to do what they are going to do, whether you shame them about it or not. Save your energy for something more constructive. Start your own label and only let people buy one copy of anything, period. Open up the store I mentioned earlier. When people see opportunity, sometimes you can't pass it up. People want this, he found them, he can do what he wants with it, and good for him if he stands to make more money because they're on pink. Just holy God, lighten up, people. They're just some goddamn records. (*not calling them out, and if you really care that much, you can search for it, but I don't really give a fuck about it now, just putting it forth as an example)

Adam is my favorite user on these boards, simply because he has the most entertainment value.

i think i'm going to take a chance on ordering a big package, then cancelling it, and waiting to see if it magically shows up in the mail. is that immoral? probably. does merchnow suck at inventory management? yes. i think i can only justify getting the $40 package right now. fuck, those single LP prices are RIDICULOUS through hopeless. also, clear gold always ends up being so lame. should have gone for solid gold like that living with lions record.

I know I should separate the music from the person, but it's hard for me to support these guys when they are such turdburglers

Brand New - Daisy

Jesus, $20? Will definitely pass.

I heard the only way to get a copy of the cd was to tweet kim and give her a compliment.

Holy shit.

these shirts are awful. but i did have to buy this one on site when i saw it a few months ago.

Looking for this?

YES YES YES. Glad you got to the OP, veggie. Looks awesome. This song is unreal. AJ was absolutely right when he said they were going in the direction of Work in Progress.

looks like adam ended up being the one that leaked and uploaded this onto it leaked. what a dick move.

Just wanted to remind everyone that it was homeworks' fault. Ohh, and

NOW you know why they pressed so many

'what are you doing buying records when you have bills' and questioning the priorities of others while sitting on a message board all day trying to be the alpha male douche-bag.. priceless! VC should be charging admission.

Last couple times I've seen them in the past two years has been a bunch of new stuff with the normal old favorites. While I agree that it would be "cool" to hear it acoustic, some of the most fun and memorable shows have been these 10 year anniversary shows like nfg's self titled and sticks and stones, finch's what it is to burn, starting line's say it like you mean it, sugarcult's start static and rocket summers calendar days/hello, good friend. None of those were acoustic and I don't think this one should be either. Do intimate venues for acoustic shoes and then play the electric version at bigger venues for more to enjoy.

Enjoy. http://www20.zippyshare.com/v/23821329/file.html

Whenever someone calls you out on something you immediately post something irrelevant to the point just like above. Anyone who's a part of a small community like this, ESPECIALLY someone who runs a record label should know better to not be posting "I'll post the link but people would get pissed." Do you really not understand why a small company who has dumped more marketing money into this release and pressed more copies than any other release in or 100 release catalog would get pissed about you waving around the fact that you want to post a link to download it on this messageboard? The fact that you don't understand this is insane.

I am fucking old. I can't believe this is 20 years old. I bought it when it came out.

Hey timbrh2001... SHUT THE FUCK UP. We don't need your constant opinion on every page of every thread. Fucking vinylz police.

Have you considered putting laxatives on the pizza?

the white people want graduation on vinyl.

looks like it got re-upped with the V0 version on it-leaked, and guess whos on the user download list? adam. still cant wait to hear this album though. ahhhhhhh.

VG soundtracks would be tough, if not impossible. They are out there as albums so they could be licensed as albums. Problem is they're out there in Japan, not here in the states. It becomes a whole international thing, licencing it from a Japanese company for release in the states, and there are usually stipulations about changing artwork and altering the material, territories in which it can and cannot be sold, etc, it becomes a whole mess. I'd love to see some classic nintendo OSTs on wax. The Zelda series especially. The movie soundtracks and score would be doable, at least they should be. But I don't see there being much interest in them for them to sell well. The video game/pokemon demographic is one that intersects with a very small population of the vinyl collecting community. The 2BA master songs were popular and memorable for even those who were casual fans of the series way back when. Even then, I only see even a small pressing run selling well if it is marketed as a collectible, and will most likely only be purchased by A. those who are still very much involved and interested in pokemon and are collectors, and have been since the early days. Or B. people who were only casual fans way back when, happen to collect vinyl, and want to go on a nostalgia trip. I wish I currently had the funds to pursue this more seriously, but I have been so focused on recording my own music lately. If I could share the crazy ideas I have in mind for this pressing without them getting jacked, or somehow prematurely creating internet buzz for something that may never happen, I would. I wish I could.

You can look at that as supporting, or being irresponsible with your money.

What do some of you people not understand? He came in here last night bragging he had it but didn't want to post a link because it might piss some people off. The OWNER of RFC called him out and he then proceeded to upload a leak to a well known/ highly used site.

No it's not. I think a few years ago I would be way more into this, I appreciate their last two LP's, and they are really fun live. But, ugh I don't know about Defeater anymore. Feels weak.

My day is made. The Drive OST thread finally got locked. This is the best thing to happen to the boards in a long time.

Finally got this yesterday. Wife was stoked it came on her birthday. Only took a few months.

Well shit the bed! Can we make this a Captain Spaulding appreciation thread now? Since every piece of useful information was lost 20 pages ago? Seriously, shut this shit down...

I'm only going to reply to your stubborn ass one more time and then I'm done because now your just pissing me and everyone else off. I never came on this thread and lied to anyone. I saw 4 Drive Soundtracks and thought it would be cool to help some people out with a plain black copy. I guess I should have said "Assuming these are all black, I will sell these at cost plus shipping." My mistake. I never said I wasn't going to keep these sealed by the way. Do you really in my wildest dreams think I would buy 4 copies and get all pink, let alone one?? I was more surprised than anyone to find out I had just scored 4 pinks. You and a few others gave me a hard time because I was buying these. As soon as I found out that they were pink you try to flip the story and say I'm lying and not being honest about my intentions. Like I said before, a dent in my medical bills seems a lot more enticing by getting $400 than $160! This wasnt a ploy to get anyone to pity me and buy my records. It clearly changed my mind about paying off some more medical debt when i found out they were worth a whole lot more. I don't have a woe is me story; I could care less if you pity me or anyone else. I never lied to you and say I wasn't trying to flip these after I found out that they were pink. Your just an idiot and have assumed things this whole time you've been posting on here. Let me help you out and get you to stop annoying everyone because this is what seems to be your reason for consistent nagging. I AM FLIPPING THESE 4 PINK COPIES OF THE DRIVE SOUNDTRACK! Are you better now? Quit trying to be the tough guy on the Internet and try to tell others your opinion of whether or not what they post is truth or a lie. If you were really so concerned about my "story" you could have personally messaged me but instead you felt the need to let everyone know your status as Drive Soundtrack chief commander.

Just tell them you would like extra stitches.

played there with Houston Calls once. I felt important. RIP.

wow, i mean, shit, this was entertaining for a bit, but this shit just needs to be locked up at this point.

i have officially secured all variants of this record, including test. /feelsgoodman gonna wait till i get a copy in to spin it to listen for the first time. this is gonna be hard with the leak floating around....

In my part of the state, once you take away the 20-something's with 3+ kids, the drug addicts, and the... "southern folk" the number dwindles.

wait you consider what adam does a record label?

Along with the E!E!/IIOI split and The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About...

Oh man.

I didn't know this was a thing, and now that I do, I don't understand the appeal in the slightest.

Pokemon 2BA Master - Colored like a pokeball, limited to 150 (1 test press so it equals 151)

I love me some Tim...

Don't move. There's... a bird on your shoulder.

dammit i'll be in austin on the 13th and 14th.

Got this about 2-3 months ago:
