nice sales pitch

I know the guy is an asshole, but I think more impact would be made if he dies and fades into obscurity with only his family caring that he's dead. The more attention you give to these kinds of people, the more they seek. And of course the dictum is true: hate begets hate.

don't hate just cus you were a lame baby who mooched off your parents

This album is what, 15 years old or something? I think you can wait a few extra days for it.

Got all mine today.

Damn, Cowboys just put the NFC East on notice. Brandon Weeden signed to a 2-year deal.

I picked my copy up at the post office this afternoon. Glad to finally own this sucker.

Fixed.

Who cares?

I really can't get much more out of this band than The Shape of Punk to Come, Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent, and the song Circle Pit. I might add the Everlasting EP to that as well. The rest either tends to feel not very well done or is so far from the style I like. Definitely don't just blindly purchase without checking out the material first. It's all pretty different than The Shape of Punk to Come.

They've been doing that more and more with "RSD First" releases. Released as you said, in about 500 on an exclusive to RSD variant before the widespread, usually standard black release a few months down the road. A good example would be At the Drive-In from last year or the Incubus reissues from a few years back. I'm torn about the One Direction release. The record snob in me wants to scoff, but there's also the side of me that is happy a new generation/demographic will be introduced to the magic of independent record shops. We all started somewhere, hell I know every word to the first Backstreet Boys album. But its hard to discover all the goodness of non-top 40 music when you're only exposed to the marketing of iTunes and commercial music mega retailers. There's just something about walking into a good record store that everyone should experience. I can't count the amount of times where I have lived out the "Beta Band scene" from High Fidelity- where something was playing on the speakers in the store and I asked what it was and then immediately bought the record. For every hundred teeny-boppers that come out on RSD just to have the latest One Direction single to frame on their wall, there will be a few that fall in love with record stores and I think I am ok with that. Plus it will be hilarious to watch the faces of these kids looking for a One Direction record who show up when the store opens at 10 and see the line wrapped around the block.

that's cute

Yeah, why does it matter that they are sealed? Oh, right - because for some arbitrary reason that increases their resale value on eBay.

I will see your Jurassic Park and raise you some cats.

i don't care about this band at all, but i'm curious why he didn't answer with "mmhmm". seems like a missed opportunity.

Kind of can't wait to see what kind of picketing goes on at his funeral.

this isn't paramore

http://www.outerbatteryrecords.com/products/dinosaur-jr-farm-and-sky-bundle Limited to 500 copies each. Can be bundled or purchased separately. Both great Lps and I needed a replacement for my scratched copy of Farm. Better jump on these!

People live in different parts of the country. Of course it's gonna take longer for some to get theirs than others. I ordered Tues & will have mine tomorrow. I consider myself fortunate.

Mine arrived today. also, holy crap is that Past is Prologue jacket nice. it's heavy-as-fuck card stock. thing weighs a ton.

Can't tell if serious.... You get something within a week of ordering and "thats way too long". Get over it.

Paypal is a great and curious beast. I once paid for a copy of Dead to Me - Cuban Ballerina and immediately got an alert that my money was being held until I called Paypal to clarify my purchase. Apparently because the notes said "Cuban," I had to state what the item was because the US is not allowed to deal with items from Cuba. The guy told me that even purchases involving movies with Cuba Gooding Jr. get flagged if his name is in the description. Good times.

So if every other webstore you found were sold out... You think someone here has 3(!) extra copies just in hand to get to you? Most folks here are going to have the same access to the same distros that you do. If they're sold out for you, they're sold out for us.

I like how the primary reason to buy it is to hang on your wall.

i work downtown and all the bars opened at 7am for st. patricks day. throngs of people my age dressed in green already out drinking. didn't do a good job of hiding my disgust. DO YOU PEOPLE NOT HAVE JOBS?! GO TO YOUR JOB. pro tip: if you're out drinking before 9am, regardless of what day it is, i think you should probably stop and reevaluate your life.

Sad but true on the latter. I am convinced that the issue here is with Columbia/Sony. Let's think about it: SSTB had a decent number pressed a few years back (due for a repress) and both Afterman records are readily available but yet IKSSE:3 only saw one run upon release. Every Coheed record released on Columbia has either never been put to wax or is harder to find by the day. But what about IKSSE:3? Well, though it was originally put on via Equal Vision the record was "upstreamed" (aka bought out) by Sony once the band started making it big. I'm sure if Sony didn't have their grubby fingers on that album we would have seen a repress ages ago..definitely by the time the 10 year anniversary hit. So long story short: apparently Sony is either allergic to money (which I doubt) or they're just oblivious to the demand of both IKSSE:3 and Good Apollo Vol. I on vinyl. No wonder the music industry is falling apart.

So how are those records coming along

lol Hey, I thought about it, and I can only credit this typo to being part of the Snoop Doggy Dogg/Dr. Dre era of the early 90's. Snoopy's big song was Who Am I (What's My Name?). Idk what the hell else would've made my subconscience write that. lol What's my age, what's my name...none of these guys know who they are.

I was serious, and I do live in NOVA. I think it is something most people can do, and if you changed one with a headshell, you should be able to do this, just buy taking a title more care with the angles that you use when holding things. The cart itself is not fragile, so you can firmly hold it from the sides with the nuts (huh-huh. Yeah!) in place and drop the screw (uhhhh huh huh) in place and tighten it. But if you still don't feel comfortable, or want some assistance, feel free to send me a PM.

All aboard. ///// WHAT IT IS People like free records. People like to feel good about themselves. And people like to free up shelf space. Why not take the opportunity to enjoy all three of these luxuries in one single thread? +Karma Train is an ongoing giveaway of good feels and free records. The rules are simple: one item is offered up at a time, and will be raffled off through various means. Enter if the record appeals to you, but note that if you win, it is your turn to clear some shelf space and give away a prize of your own choosing. ///// HOW IT WORKS There aren't too many rules at all. The winner of each giveaway becomes the raffler for the next, and it will be up to them to set any specifications, which should be made clear well before it is time to determine a winner. Some things you may want to consider, if it is your turn to give away an album: Are you limiting your giveaway to members in your country? Are you willing to ship outside of your country, if the winner covers the costs? Should the winner be required to have a certain amount of posts? How many entrants will you allow? 10? 20? Everyone? At what point will you cut off entrants? Using a # cap? ("First 20") Or by time? ("One week from this post.") Do you have a mailer and shipping supplies on hand? Are you willing to cover the cost of shipping, or will you be asking for ~$4 to cover Media Mail? How will you draw names?* From a hat? Using a random generator? Name tags fastened to a slip mat? Most of these things should be established in either a post or a PM to yours truly. I will update the first post of this thread to ensure that we're all on the same page at all times. *If you do not have a method of drawing names, I will create a looped GIF to randomly generate names for you. You may draw or you may have me draw in your place. Whichever you prefer. ///// THE GREEN LIGHT • NEW! Effective May 19, 2014, there will be a new rule implemented to this thread. This is the green light rule, and ensures that no one is taken advantage of. The rule is simple: if you win a raffle, you will not receive your prize until you've submitted an entry of your own. This means that you must verify what you'll be giving away, when you'll be declaring a winner, and also confirming that you have both funds and materials to physically ship the prize out. If you do not have the means of shipping a prize, you will not receive your record. (And you probably shouldn't be entering in the giveaways to begin with.) Members who fail to abide by this rules of this thread will be added to a black list, where they will be denied entry to all future giveaways. All it takes is one member being shitty to derail this whole thread... so let's all be on-the-ball, and see how far we can take this thing.

The fact that there are people complaining that they didn't have it in hand within a week of ordering it seriously blows my mind.

Sometimes my mom breaks out what few baby pictures she has of me, just to show me what a little shit I was. Oh, you wanted a nice family photo in front of Cinderella's Castle?

A phone that made him a warm bean.

I think it's kinda cool that this thread gets me more excited to give away something cool than it does to win a free thing, I keep looking around the collection thinking 'what would VC like?'

I saw her butthole once.

Damn I'm working this band to the bone on my mixes

Thumbs up to you for bringing up the tour. I hadn't heard about it. Saw this post a couple hours ago...got the presale code and ordered tickets an hour later. Ended up with tickets front row center stage. Hurt my wallet, but psyched.

TSR will probably help you out. [email protected]

There'll be a whole new type of crowd to fight through this year

True, I guess I was thinking if it was the opposite of how they picket. Showing signs of love instead of hate, you know what the Bible actually stands for...

The Bravery

Thanks Collin. I think I have enough to do that but it looks like someones already beat me to it.
