Thought you were looking for something to break records. Was gonna suggest a hammer.

Once again, just because somebody doesn't like that noodly stuff, doesn't mean they don't get it or don't appreciate the musicianship that goes into it. It just means they don't like it. I think Trey is an incredible musician, maybe one of the best of our time. Cannot stand a single song the man has ever written. But I have awful taste in your cool guy opinion, so it doesn't matter what I think. And about Ryan being into that stuff back then, I actually didn't mind the jammy stuff in 2005, even though it's definitely not my thing. I thought it was pretty good at the shows and Ryan ripped some awesome guitar work for those Cold Roses and JCN songs. I found it interesting to watch. Neal, not so much. The songwriting was nowhere up to the level it was in 2005 after he joined the band. And I know that's mostly on Ryan (which he obviously realized when he fired the Cardinals) but once again, if you go back to what was said at the time, Ryan used to talk endlessly about Neal's influence on his songwriting. And if you compare the Cardinology era stuff with some of the crap on Neal's records and what Ryan used to let him play at the shows, it's quite obvious that was the case. Sorry you can't deal with somebody's opinion that Neal's boring as fuck, but it would be cool if you could grow up with your responses.

For a bunch of vinyl enthusiasts, this thread is really highlighting how little some folks know about how records are brought into existence.

<SEALED COPY> $10 PPD (US ONLY) Just shoot me a PM if you are interested and I'll pick a name at random tomorrow morning. Take it easy!

http://store.angusandjuliastone.com/store/angus-julia-stone-angus-julia-stone-2lp-music-album-vinyl-4736425 Super pricey at $55 for a 2LP but shipping in Australia cost me $3 for 2 copies of this, which kind of makes it a bit easier to swallow. Not sure how much shipping is going to cost for those outside Australia though... Anyway im looking forward to this release so thought id share the PO around. As some would know their last LP is worth rediculous amounts, I didnt want to risk this selling out and missing out! For anyone who hasnt heard them before id urge you to! Theyre incredible!

Guys, if anyone is looking for Vheissu go to: www.pylonrecords.com They have three different colors, contain the original album artwork and they probably sound a lot better than the HT repress! I got the clear. Hit it up! P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.

And the winners are... permafaust 3arl Steviex2Shoes Congrats! Again, thanks to everyone who entered! Over 30 entries this time as well. Until next time...

People can be assholes. The other day some dude smacked my head with the wheel of his luggage and didn't even apologize. But the truth of it is I have this sick enjoyment from making pissed off people smile. We are a special breed. I used to say I wanted to work at the DMV... This is similar. But there is something so special about it. I have a crazily multi faceted role, and it keeps me entertained and on my toes. The best part is when you make the day of an asshole they usually end up being pretty cool. Sometimes people just hate traveling and need someone to listen to how shitty security was.

I was gonna say USPS could do a fine job

Scores are dope background music. I spin Moon and Solaris on the regular.

Hold up. Do you mean that double LPs aren't supposed to be $30 a pop?

I find I enjoy their discography as a whole, but for different reasons. I suppose it also helps when you grow up with a band who's sound "grows up" as well. I still jam Illusion of Safety just as much as Beggars or Major/Minor and enjoy them just the same, just for different reasons. At this point its also really cool to listen to their progression. I do the same with Cave In too.

My Simple Math was really warped when I got it too. Sent them an email and they had no problem sending me a new copy. Stand up dudes to do that.

Correct.

On a lighter note, all this talk of bears makes me think of this Simpsons episode.... Homer: "Now to fall gracefully through the windshield....."

Hey Ben - you're as helpful as ever! My prices are based on popsike history as well as discogs listings and prior sales. As I mentioned, IN BOLD RED LETTERS, which you may have missed, these aren't set prices. They are opening numbers. I am open to discussion and negotiation. I know what it's like to be hunting for these variants and to be trying to avoid ebay as much as possible and deal directly with someone who is willing to talk price. I'm trying to give other people that same opportunity. I've already sold a few things. I never said I was trying to sell them "fast"... I want them to go to good people. If you're just going to come in here again to tell me to "go to ebay" don't bother

Here, this'll help:

I'm not sure why you're bringing this back up, but if you are still completely ignorant to what the point of it all was, let me try to explain. It is not cool to invade someone's space. If someone's fine with it, then good for them, but if you're not, there's no reason you have to be forced into that situation. Culture values aside, it's still uncool that people can feel entitled to assume that it's alright to kiss someone else without their consent. If a strange man came up to you and decided to kiss you, I'm sure you wouldn't be okay with it. Unfortunately, it's mostly women who have to deal with that kind of stuff. Also:

fairly soon i'd say demand > supply ITC is certainly up there as one of my favorite labels. solid music, innovative hand-made releases without being gimmicky--the passion for what you're doing really comes through. i love that people here see that too. can't wait to see what's next.

i'm in love #194/269 Interpunk still has more of these available if anyone else missed this the first time around: http://interpunk.com/item.cfm?Item=195498& Sounds INCREDIBLE.

I drunkenly pushed some hott straight girl up against a wall this weekend and made out with her... Apparently she was super into it so probs turned my first girl gay. Proud of myself

Looks like a great excuse to reissue the rest of the FOB discography, another splatter series....?

Well, slight change...this came on clear vinyl with blue and white splatter. Still looks really awesome.

Hey guys! I've been somewhat MIA from the VC forums as of late but, as you see from the quote, I've begun a group collective to snag a bunch of these TWDY records from the man himself, Tom @ Hobbledehoy! I've spoken w/ youalreadydid and, if you would all like, we can just come together and get a nice batch of records at a much lower price!! I've been shipping records for some time now and take the utmost care in every single shipment I pack. I'll gladly handle the distribution to you all within the US. If you'd like to be a part of this, message myself or youalreadydid and we'll get this going! I'd like to set a deadline of July 20th for orders. Maybe earlier, depending on interest. With the July 20th deadline, I'm allowing a moment for those of you who may need to procure funds. I assure you, as a bunch, this will be much, much cheaper than buying it individually. I've spoken plenty w/ Tom over at Hobbledehoy and he's entirely on-board. He's rock solid. Let's show this fine dude some love and snag this damn fine record!! Best wishes to you all! Ryan

I was the same way at first, but after enough chatting back and forth online you have plenty to talk about in person.

Pretty sure that was in response to me. Nobody likes to read that they have garbage cans for ears.

Neal's been given an opportunity to play with Phil and Bobby from The Dead as well as Chris Robinson too. Probably as a result of his connections with Ryan. It's too bad he's such a shitty musician, probably tortured those Dead tunes...

For the time period and how old they were, I would say it was good. But I was 14 at the time so what do I know. Plus, I'm going to be extra defensive about this band because they are my favorite band of all time. I can't help it.

HAHA! Thrice has never "sucked". Clearly you do not know what you're talking about. Thrice paved the way for many musicians and bands alike. They are one of the best examples of a band growing and fine tuning their sound over time. If you can find those albums for that cheap then you should have purchased them and made some money. GTFO.

$5000 from 5000 represssed records? CHARITY

Now you know how chicks feel watching GoT. Haha

Thanks for the info, but seems today is a "crazy postage" day, they want $50 for international shipping, so just over $105 total. As usual, I'll wait hoping amazon gets these. Edit: scratch that, just placed an order on amazon, came to $44 shipped. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Angus-Julia-Stone/dp/B00L6DXHV4/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1404253618&sr=1-1&keywords=julia+stone Edit 2: even cheaper on amazon.ca, preordered for CAD $38 shipped. http://www.amazon.ca/Angus-Julia-Stone-Vinyl/dp/B00L6DXHV4/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1404253834&sr=1-1&keywords=julia+stone

A hellish red/orange/yellow, maybe something like this... So bummed I missed that press... was able to get the clear w/ splatter so it all worked out

Torture had pic discs & colored vinyl so it's possible.... CC really loves their pic discs. Probably cuz most of the artwork compliments it nicely.

Check out the protomen while you are there. They know how to rock.

For the prices you want, take it to eBay.

i think VC has found its slogan

I just up a couple of our digital releases on bandcamp. Shoutout to Chrissingmeoff, Boy Toy is really great. Also Lopez on the Runway is there. It's a dead band, and has been since 2010, but I've been listening to them for years, and managed to contact a member who was cool with me putting them out. Tapes coming soon! Keep a look out if you like what I posted! http://outofbreathrecords.bandcamp.com/album/demo-14 http://outofbreathrecords.bandcamp.com/album/discography

This is a terrible sentiment, luckily it was just a kiss, and not a grope. People forget how bad things are when they don't happen to you. What if your daughter or wife or mother was the one to be violated onstage? I doubt anyone would stand to just let that happen. I've heard of a time where someone kissed Shannon from Hunx and his Punx/Shannon and the Clams and she punched him in the face, I used to think it wasn't that big of a deal. But when I see young girls crowdsurfing and getting groped by dudes , it pisses me off. I understand a lot of social justice is kind of a pissing contest to see which one is more stupid, but rape culture is not one of them.

Since shirt is not in the title, when I looked at the first picture, I just thought it was a print and they signed the fucking couch!
