I thought this might be worth sharing, kind of a cool story. So I told my buddy about Whirr a few months back, and he got into them pretty quickly. Ended up going to the San Diego show (I live in the Chicago area), and I asked if he'd pick me up one of the /25 posters. Figured they'd be gone, but worth a shot. I guess he ended up talking to Nick Bassett and got one which is awesome. I'm not certain how exactly this came about, but I'm guessing my friend mentioned that I had turned him onto Whirr or something and that I was dealing with some rough shit at the moment - my dog just passed away last week, and that's been heartbreaking to say the least. Not to get all morbid or anything - but a friend also passed away in the same week, so it's been heavy to say the least. Anyway, I got this poster in the mail today (along with a setlist), but didn't realize what was on the back right away. I'll just post the pictures to tell the rest of the story. Truly shows how genuine the Whirr dudes are - they did not have to do this at all. My friend said he didn't ask them to write anything at all, so it seems to have been done on their (Nick's) accord. I just think it's pretty fucking special. Might seem 'whatever' to some people, but I figured I'd post regardless. To clarify, my dog's name was Tess/my name is Alex. I wish I could frame both sides of this. Must figure something out... Also, anybody notice that it says #1/25 on the front, but on the back it says #1/100? Accident maybe? I honestly couldn't care less about the 'limited' aspect - it's one of a kind to me. One of the most thoughtful, random yet perfectly timed gifts I've ever received. I'll back Whirr forever, no doubt about it. tl;dr my dog passed away, my buddy grabbed me a poster in SD, and Nick from Whirr wrote a message on the back. says a lot about the dude/band as a whole vs. their online troll persona.

Records... LPs on the bottom, 7"s up top, 10"s and other oddballs in the bin on the right. CDs and cassettes. really need to find a good solution to store these damn things.

SRC will NOT be doing Deadbeat. ;-)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Favourite-Faded-Fantasy-VINYL/dp/B00NAOSTH4/ref=mb_oe_l/276-6681744-9131962 The 8 year wait is over, Damien Rice is coming out with a new album. There is a pre-order for the album on vinyl! Now let's hope he presses the other albums!

So awesome to see them give a positive experience out of a difficult time. It's actually inspired me to share my own little Whirr story, although mine comes from a pleasant time. For Christmas this past year, my girlfriend of 5 years (Amy) contacted Nick about sending some of our records out to him to be signed by the band and returning them back. Instead, he picked out his copies of Distressor on 180g and the 2nd press of Around and got them signed by everyone, and included a nice surprise. I have every Whirr variant ever pressed, so to have this piece to add to my collection is so cool. Anyway, here's the surprise I got:

Posted this in the record storage thread, but might as well post it here too. Need to find a better solution for mass cassette storage. The way my cassettes are currently stored...

I don't care for 5SOS but I really appreciate how much they've helped other bands with free promotion. It's kinda amazing to see the amount of fans All Time Low, State Champs, etc. have received because of a simple tweets these guys post. But I digress, this isn't the ALBUMS YOU WANT PRESSED THREAD it's supposed to be updates for things Hot Topic is currently pressing. So we should really try to stay there.

I did my friend, a few people at riot fest, then back to their hotel until about 3am. Im on the left. Only 2 in this photo, but spent most of the night with rodger the keyboardist.

Hahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahaahhahahahahahahahahaha

Local H - As Good as Dead

Why would someone born in like 1997 want to watch Friends? Why would anyone want to watch Friends?

I GOT ONE!!!!!

Everything's going fine. I got my package from danementzer yesterday and shipped out somethingvinyl's parcel yesterday as well. I'm sure he's setting up his giveaway as I type this.

Yeah I'm going to have to go with Yip being the cause here. The Floral Green mp3's i have sound like a shitty web rip but they were straight from the CD. The beginning of Make You Cry especially sounds like dog shit

GEEZ! Someone wanna tell Romo to throw to an open man instead of in between double and triple teams? Shit! This is bad QB'ing -Genuinely Shocked NFL Fan Who Rarely See's thee 'Boys Play Aside From Playoffs Thanksgiving

I suppose, but if you actually wanna listen to the tapes it's probably a nightmare. I dunno about anyone else, but I like to see every tape and pick the one I want, when I hear 'cardboard box' (and considering the number of tapes this guy has) I imagine a stacked pile of tapes in every box that he probably has to dig through, remove tapes to find the ones underneath etc. I can't live like that.

i fell asleep on my couch and missed the show in my city on Friday. They have pretty consistently had vinyl, a few shirts, patches and show poster the past times i have seen them. see no reason why this time would be any different.

OK peeps, this has been up a couple of hours, y'all get your copies yet?

"Joyce Manor-the T-shirt, Joyce Manor-the Coloring Book, Joyce Manor-the Lunch box, Joyce Manor-the Breakfast Cereal, Joyce Manor-the Flame Thrower..."

I feel like as long as the whole record is on a single LP, its probably not going to sound good

This is so great to see all the positive Whirr stories. Labels like Graveface and RFC wouldn't fuck with them if they were really as bad as people make them out to be

"US vinyl is"I've solved it

Exactly why I thought this might make an interesting podcast. All of VC needs to be guests at some point.

the upside to this is as soon as you get home, you can take off those pants and crack a beer. no one will ever judge you again. only my cats judge me and i tell them to fuck off!

I'd say I fall into all 3. I like everything with the current lineup: Black Sails all the way to Burials.

$5 more than epitaph before shipping, nice. Keep it classy, Hot Topic.

Funny how things change -- Detroit not a lock to even take a wildcard spot

Don't get your panties in a twist. You were the one that acted like people that buy a record for trades are pricks.

Aw man I want to grab that cam & sam bundle, and I want to grab one of those soundtrack tapes when they go up. I keep telling myself to spend less money, but I might end up breaking buying these things.

Michigan hahahahaha GO IRISH

Thanks so much!

Ah... Alien and St. Stephanus Belgian blonde ales.

Hey Travis, great work on all those releases. Do you think there's any chance of the 5 Seconds of Summer album ever getting pressed? (they pressed the latest single on a 7 inch with American Idiot as the b-side) Asking as there's apparently an exclusive merch range coming to hot topic soon! (serious question. a double LP with bonus tracks would be the greatest thing ever ha)

Setup complete! Getting the placement just right took awhile since they are physically smaller than the Polk's. They sound great though, bass is perfect and Norah's voice sounds amazing!

I enjoyed it. Button mashing greatness haha.

I pick my nose. Nothin' like diggin' a big boogie out, all in one piece.

I thought this was going to be a thread about getting beer really easily.

Pretty much exactly like this

Remember folks, if you can't get a tour variant....it's because of this type of cock bag: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291237016498

On occasion I find myself saying this. My apologies

It's crazy that people feel the need to come to SRC's defense. To me it's like defending Wal-Mart, or the cops.

"Bruins invite Ville Leino to training camp". lol

Sunday funday bump it up! Getting ready to fertilize my back lawn. YARDxCORE!

I upgraded my inner foot-sleeves to better match the level of my system.

that "just what I needed" cover on replicants is so fucking awesome.

Everything they have been selling is top notch quality merch well worth the prices they're charging. I will continue to support this band any way I can.
