Like a 30 year old collecting posters and pieces of plastic with Phish music on them isn't dorky. We are all lame. Get off your high horse.I'm "socially awkward", do not want to talk to a single person in the RSD line and proud of it.

You guys are better people than me. The few times I went out on RSD and waited in line I immediately hated the folks around me in line. I just stood in line silently and quietly seethed about the annoying people around me until the store opened.

You're just being silly, Barry.

Alright, this thread is where it started for me with TAC so I'll post this here. After hearing all of the hype about these guys, buying Two Conversations on a whim and loving it, I decided that, over time, I was going to get their discography and listen to each one for the first time on vinyl. I went from Two Conversations, Illumination Ritual, Sagarmatha, LLO, End of Ring Wars and ending today with Mare Vitalis. The depth of their discography is mind boggling. After hearing TC through LLO I thought I knew what they sounded like; more or less had them figured out. I was sorely mistaken. End of Ring Wars absolutely blew me away. I didn't have any backstory on how TAC started and so it was a great shock when I started hearing 90's emo blasting out at me. Listening to Mare Vitalis now, I can definitely see the transition from that into more of their current sound. I remember talking to Derek when I first listened to TAC and thought it was strange when he told me he couldn't really rank the albums sequentially in which he liked more than the others. After listening to all of their LPs that makes a lot of sense to me now. I don't necessarily think I could break them down into a certain order but I do know that this band has slowly become on of my favorites. The body of work that they've put together is really some masterful stuff. Super glad I stumbled into this thread a number of months ago when I did. So I guess I just wanted to say thanks for providing all of the hype and piquing my interest guys!

fucks sake, put out Poet's Life on vinyl already...

I was lucky enough to get to listen to this just now and holy crap! So so good! This band just does not ever disappoint. Extremely impressive album.

sorry. just had to

Every year I've waited in line for RSD, I've had a blast, just sayin'...

First post and you're offering to trade jazz records for TDAG on Vinyl Collective. Oh boy, you're in for a ride.

Got to love the fix descriptions.

Hoping for a Fleetwood Mac Rumors reissue.

shit. so glad Relapse have their finger on the pulse. i'm gonna buy one now. fuck the music inside, ITS GOT A KICKASS 3D COVER.

Guys, I have been looking for a cool vintage stereo for my garage for a while. Today I scored a 1964 RCA 4VF326 console stereo for 32 dollars at my local thrift store. It still has the original manuals, its a tube unit and it still works. I may sand it down this fall and apply some fresh stain. Here are a few pics:

record-ing is real i have a lawyer on retainer. RRRREEEEETTAAAINEEERRRR!

this and the Dog Problems repress page give me panic attacks

Will do, once again, thank you!! *fistbumps*

This is awesome, I'm very happy that you've experienced TAC in the manner that you did. There's nothing better than suggesting music to someone (not saying I was responsible for this) and them coming back with such a good experience, let alone a detailed listening experience. Thanks for sharing.

time to change the tread title to The grown men arguing over what they like thread

and amidst all the bullshit of vc...beauty still lies within in glad to hear that man!

are you guys still whining about this?

Disregard everything this guy says. All of rudeboy's suggestions are solidly backed.

i really wish ETR would do this release

: ))) all i ask for! hahaha. Yeah, they're cool dudes. Glad to be able to put out a track by them, especially a jam like that. Keep your eyes (and really everyone in this thread because it appeals to them) peeled for a review of a band called Deer Widow, my writer (a VC member actually) loved it and it's really good late 90's styled emo stuff.

$4

Jack replying to someone asking about the Jay Z delay: <Jack White> @STEVETRON3000 they gave us the music AFTER the world had it, takes a long time to put vinyl into the system

This is the exact type of crap that is making me buy less records. All these excessive variants all at once and lame bundles becoming the norm. I think the onesie in a bundle takes the cake for trying way too hard. I would have normally bought this record and now I'm not motivated to buy it at all.

You guys know it's ok to not like something by an artist, right? It seems like a lot of you are about it because it has kensrue's name on it, yet vehemently disagree with Christianity or worship music - this will be a worship album, not his please come home follow up. Might be best for you to skip it and not get super angry at the upfront Christian lyrics.

This guy gets it right:

These new songs they are releasing are unbelievably good. I don't own any of their previous stuff, but this one is a must-buy for me.

Thanks for all the orders please notice that our shipping options are cheaper alot of lables charge £6.50 to post a 7" to the u.k from the u.k were charging £6.50 to post it world wide....and if you buy both color ways we can do it for £10...so just cuz were in the u.k dont be put off thinking that the shipping rates will destroy your paypal account...cuz it wont ...chances are we might put in a bonus 7" with the double packs..

in the same breath, it's not fair for you to judge how someone else grieves. people deal with shit in different ways, just the way it is. dane, my deepest sympathies. i wish i could be more of a support. i know you said you're an RN, so i'm sure you're familiar with kuebler-ross and the stages of grieving. i suspect your current obsession with suicide is part of an attempt to understand your brother more. that's perfectly reasonable, but i suggest you try to split that time with something that will progress your own healing. read stories written by survivors, read about the grieving process, maybe join a support group, seek therapy. you can spend the rest of your life trying to come to peace with something that might never make sense to you, but you can certainly find peace with yourself sooner. stay strong, buddy.

hello? *echo echo*

love reading through threads that drew, toki, and travis are drooling over. gets me pumped for records like nothing else.

Would like to discuss this. I'm a big live show geek, a concert goer before a vinyl collector. What was the crowd like? I find so often that a live show has more to do with the people watching it, than the people up on stage performing. Specifically I'm talking about in modern rock, be it any genre of metal, punk, whatever. Don't get me wrong, those on stage are absolutely the ones giving a presentation of their art, and are responsible for influencing the spark that ignites the excitement in the crowd. I'm not trying to let them off the hook by any means. That said, was everyone standing there with their arms crossed wearing a scowl on their mug? If you have a venue full of folks not scared to let go of inhibitions & smash their neighbor & run around in a circle, crowd surf, a live show like Norma Jean has the potential to go from 0 to 60 as soon as they start playing, every time they play. But if everyone's standing there with their hands in their pockets, you might as well be watching the DVD at home. Not to mention the band gets way more into it when they've got a crowd full of people participating. Though I know moshing isn't for everyone. But you at least get what I'm saying. I've been at shows where it isn't extremely fun or exciting & it's because the people in the crowd suck & are being defiant, while the band is doing just fine on stage. Or maybe they're just standing their holding up their iPhone recording. You're seeing this LIVE-WHY are you filming this?? I have nothing against a picture or two but put it away. Leave it in the car. "I'm here seeing this in person, but I'm gonna film it-and watch it later on my laptop!"

I've waited longer for worse.

If you've slept on that Alcoa debut, get on it. One of the best releases of 2013 in my opinion. Derek is a tremendous lyricist.

I disagree based on experience. I have no shortage of self confidence in my work. I also have hearing issues and if there is background noise, which is often, I direct my ears towards the speaker then turn to talk to them. You want my creative? Well, don't be a weak pansy and take offense to me not staring you in the eye 100% of the time. I'm fairly successful, landed four new projects in the past two months that I've fully pitched and negotiated. Let's at least leave room for exceptions instead of speaking absolutes. Also, when will dudes learn that crushing someones hand in a handshake doesn't make you look strong as opposed to an asshole. Yes, firm is good, show you want to be there but there is no need to hurt people in some macho display.

This would be an awesome release.

I think people that don't make eye contact are creepy. Look someone in the eye when you talk to them. Maybe smile, even.

Hernandez's Pistol Offense: This is fantastic! haha one of the best names I've ever seen

I don't have experience running a distro, but I do run a small label and I'd say the general idea is to get in touch with labels, buy vinyl from them at wholesale/distro rates, sell them for a profit. We need more distros, they have all basically went away. I think a smart idea would be to buy from labels early on and get first pressings, then if one day that variant sells out, you're almost guaranteed to sell your copies. Also, once you're big enough you can ask labels for an exclusive variant that only you stock in your store. Another good idea is to not get greedy and charge like $17 for an LP you got for $8, keep it reasonable and you'll gain loyal customers with repeat orders.

I just ordered a deluxe. I feel like such a whore...

usually glow-in-the-dark have a ton of surface noise.

http://www.relapse.com/search_result.php?search_by=all&q=red+fang&x=19&y=5 All the options. $45.99 for a 2LP "deluxe" is fucking insane. Relapse can lick a dogs dick with those prices.

Or that his works are written for preteens.

Heres a picture of my Blacklisted collection. Someone requested it, so here it is. Missing tests, and like two other records.
