Somewhere, there's a skatepunk band who can't bring their album on tour due to plant delays because of Herb Fucking Alpert.

I...I don't think you know how negotiating works. But in all seriousness, that's the most Canadian thing I've ever heard. I kinda want to give you a hug.

Having +44 on vinyl again is getting me hyped for BCR repress. Always seemed like those two albums went together in a weird way.

This is really exciting news. This reissue was fourth of my want list, right behind: 1. "The Best of Perry Commo" Readers Digest Collector's Edition box set. 2. Random, extremely dusty Glen Campbell 45 in generic white sleeve. 3. Beat to hell sleeve of some random Beatles album with heavy pen scribbling, John and Paul's eyes crossed out and hearts around Ringo's head, missing the vinyl. Thank you, vinyl comeback!!!

has VC has become YouTube Comments Collective for Halloween?

Weird... When mine starts playing, there's a really faint noise, "hey travisss"

There are components of your rant that are truly justified, Satan: the recent increase of (misplaced) threads dedicated to Fall Out Boy inquiries and Paramore pricing. The New Bermuda dude who's genuinely upset that his colored wax doesn't match the mockup photo. The never-ending stream of complaints about shipping costs, corner dings, flipping records, and securing tour variants. It's nothing new, and it's more than alright to blow off some steam now and then. However. You're complaining about what makes VC so tough to browse, some days... but the irony here - if I'm being brutally honest - is that I'd rather read about seam splits and absurd MSRP prices over "VC veterans" grasping for attention. I've called you out before because you post some of the dumbest try-hard shit I've ever seen on the boards. Ranging from comments that broadly dismiss everyone's tastes (i.e. "There's a similar discussion to this one going on in the [ ] thread, but none of you would know that because you all listen to shit") to tastefully posting "ya'll are a bunch of faggots" in the middle of a discussion on [homo]sexuality – and why it's not alright to post derogatory comments pertaining to it. I mean, I get that you're trying to be ironic or witty by attempting to derail topics in the flashiest ways possible. But it just comes off as "hey guys look at me i'm being all edgy and shit lol". It's embarrassing, and it induces way more cringes than any number of non-ironic Crosley threads will. At least for me. I've been accused of being a VC elitist more than once. I'm pushing 9,000 posts, I'm aware, and I've been a member for nearly 7 years now, but the majority of those posts (and time) have been spent on niche discussions about music I'm excited for. I don't regret them. I do a lot more lurking than posting, and find myself scrapping a huge portion of my posts when I consider the weight of my words and whether or not they're even worth submitting. [This post, for example, has been considered for deletion at least three times now.] I was a part of the Proboards just like you were, so, yeah, I've seen some shit. And I feel like there will always be new topics and members to point and laugh at. I can't deny that it's nice to have a little fun with the newbies now and then, and I'm all-too guilty of getting in the periodic jab when a redundant questions begs for a sarcastic response. But there's no reason to continually harass new members past the point of some light initiation hazing. As far as tastes? – it's all subjective, sure, but you're right: as a collective, this board's tastes are fucking terrible. There. I said it. More and more young people join every week, and there also seems to be a select group of adults who are chomping at the bit for Blink-182 reissues. It's whatever. But you need to stop stressing it and just adapt. I don't even graze the Hot Topic repress threads, because - as snobby as I may sound - I basically have zero interest in 99% of the music that Travis is pressing splatter copies of. Why rain on someone else's parade, or waste the energy to post something negative in a thread clearly catered to discuss the excitement for a release in a positive environment? It seems pointless. Work can get a little boring for me, of course, but there are a million other things to read and interact with, on the world wide web. Once you develop a knack for letting those threads bubble up to the top of the boards while still tuning them out, it becomes pretty easy to lighten up and care less about the "inferior" music that so much of VC seems to be stuck on. I love a good discussion on genres, tastes, and what it means to explore new music; even if I poke fun at the folks bouncing off the walls for My Chemical Romance represses, I don't think that I'm somehow better than them because my tastes have "evolved" past "high school drivel". I just keep on scrolling and find something relevant to my interests. It's pretty easy. Members being attacked for their age is just stupid. I agree that an occasional joke is worth posting when the comedic timing is right, but when users are being ridiculed just for being younger [or older] than the general age pool? Come on. DOMAN's in high-school and posts more articulate, relevant replies - that are in line with the forum rules - than a huge portion of new members. And Don (drds89) is probably old enough to be my dad, but has no shortage of excellent recommendations and positive things to contribute to a lot of quality threads. Point at hand? – age is moot. Let it go. If you really want to keep at it and get nasty, though, we can talk about your sleek "ninja edits", where you go on caps-lock tirades and then proceed to backspace them, leaving a simple "sorry I was drunk" in their place. Losing your cool to someone half your age, flying off the handle, not having the balls to stick by your initial rant, and blaming it on a mid-day buzz? That's pretty cool, I guess. But proceeding to reply with "fuck the fuck right off, you don't know me or my sense of humor" when someone casually calls you out on it – that, right there, is the true essence of pushing 30. Give me a break, man. I'm all for healthy, isolated rants and I'm also a sucker for irony. This topic delivers both in spades. Sorry if I come off as a condescending prick. I'm just staying true to the thread's theme, I guess:

Found out one of my Mexican friends handed it tacos instead of candy

Received from BRLSQ the piece from the Fragments show I snagged. It's a stunner!

today's taco count: 3

Picked up a copy locally today. #3380/4000 Haven't had time to spin the records, but I listened to the CD on a nice country cruise through southern Indiana. Goddamn perfect first impression.

I LOVE TACOS!!!!

FYE has 25% off of one item until 11/3 - CRISP25 - http://www.fye.com/- David Bowie Five Years Box $194.23

Maybe I'll take $80 and throw in a free record.

Miiiiiiight be getting a tattoo in two weeks. My girlfriend and I have been planning to commemorate the one year anniversary of that time we got really drunk and fucked a stranger from the internet (each other)

If I were a business, my minimum goal would be 10000000% because I'm running a business not a freaking 300% lazy ass non-profit.

That's like...the minimum goal of any business...so yeah, I'm sure he is. That means he's paying 1/3 of what he's getting back out of these just to make them. 300% profit is barely worth even doing in the business world. I can't stand ETR, but 300% isn't shit.

I just opened my laptop and the weird music was back. I can't figure out where it's coming from and need it to stop

bought a hat of all things

$7 shipped for the standard? Why the hell not?? Ordered! Thanks for the awesome deal .

Literally no idea. I don't remember passing out and woke up in all my clothes. Good times were had though! I think Kevin is my new favorite person. You're definitely up there too <3

He hasn't updated it in 3 months because he is 1 person doing everything and im sure the web page is the last thing he cares about. I don't think I would trust any label more with something like this then BM. Dude is top notch.

Happy Halloween friends

The prints were outside the sealed box set!

Ah fuck didn't realize someone already made the Humperdink joke. I remember my grandmother telling me she had tickets to see him and I laughed till I cried because I refused to believe someone was not only named Englebert, but had the last name Humperdink.

Every release should have this as a description! Made me piss my pants in laughter!

Lemme know when they start repressing Engleburt Humperdink's catalog

It'll sell because all these bullshit "remastered from the original original super original master tapes in an all analog environment on equipment that hasn't been used since 1971 and pressed on 9,000,000 gram extra ultra never seen the sun quadruple virgin vinyl at a triple secret pressing plant in Mauritius where there no are environmental laws to keep them from doing it the way it was done in the really good old days, and housed in a 27" thick cardboard slip case made from old growth redwood super board, with a hand-tipped on spot varnished offset printed cover, made using the original negative and hand numbered in a minute edition by the grandson of the original cover model, who is sadly long-dead." $85. Sold out by Xmas.

Woah, just got the email with downloads for VIP. It also includes stems and instrumentals. Also, there may or may not be an easy way to download everything... Not sure if it's okay to post in the thread.

These look really awesome.

Who the fuck ok'd this?! There's like 30 copies sitting in every thrift store in America.

Ima tell a story right now. Last Saturday I worked my first Saturday night since the end of March. Grabbed TBell on my way into work (be there by 8pm) ordered cheesy gordita crunch sub chicken and chicken tacos meal and a cheesy-bean-n-rice burrito. Gave me beef on all items....no time to take it back. Get to work and simply don't want the last taco. Leave it in the jeep to throw away later. Get out of work at 5am.....driving home...remember taco....ate a 9 hour old TBell taco on my way home from work at 5am. NO taco left behind (even TBell tacos)

What you all don't understand is that, the more you criticize ETR or this release, the more Stl Ben has to keep posting that he doesn't care and in fact benefits from it.

Sheath sold 2 of the 10 Martyrdom TPs in the past year (no I didn't get one, and besides the latest, it's the one I need, too. I had the chance but cash flow was tight). Hoping they have at least one more left.

New Rez is up on MMT! https://midnightmoontapes.bandcamp.com/album/daytime-kicks

Hey guys, All of your personal opinions and what you do with your ears, money, time, and personal material possessions affect my real life and are an inconvenience to me. If you could all kindly be the type of people I would prefer you to be that would be great. Mostly just be another version of me, I'm not much into variety and change. Thanks, deafening

“I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you fucking like something, like it. That’s what’s wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, “You’re not supposed to like that. That’s not fucking cool.” Don’t fucking think it’s not cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” It is cool to like Britney Spears’ “Toxic”! Why the fuck not? Fuck you! That’s who I am, goddamn it! That whole guilty pleasure thing is full of fucking shit.”

if the cover art is any indication to what her art looks like..... I'm good.

More judgment on people's music tastes please. There just isn't enough.

Nobody belongs anywhere, Nobody exists on purpose, and everyone is going to die.

i like to remain a mystery

My parents told me to come over for dinner last night with the promise of tacos, but when I got there it was vegetable soup. I've never been so disappointed in my life.

Alright, here we go. I've got my coffee, sat down at my desk... let's talk about Babby's little temper tantrum. First and foremost, your post is embarrassing as fuck. Like a lot of your posts lately. You might be the biggest fucking hypocrite on these forums and it cracks me up. I started to go through your posts just to make sure I wasn't about to go off with the wrong idea, but no, I couldn't even get past the first page of your posts without seeing you be a massive shitlord. You're mad... about people being mad... about flipping? You've stalked Kanye Kess across the fucking galaxy to shame spiral him for being a flipping wanker. And now you're going to post a VC-wide callout thread about giving people shit for complaining about flipping? That's not to say I disagree. If it's blatant and shitty, call people out. If someone is selling something for a profit, shut the fuck up and don't buy it - on that point I agree with you. "When this place was in it's prime" - Dear God where to start with this elitist bullshit. Your post reads like the saddest little hipster temper tantrum from someone who liked VC before it was cool! Do people complain about a lot of petty bullshit? Yes. And they get called out for it. Do some people get a little SJW tumblr around here and PC police? Yes. Sometimes it's warranted, sometimes it results in some pretty entertaining/enlightening conversations. I guess it's easy to miss that when you think you're so fucking edgy that everyone will laugh and pat you on the back when you go in a thread about how the use of "faggot" as a derogatory term is fucked up and say "lol you are all a bunch of faggots". You are so fucking edgy, man. Congratulations. As far as "the glory proboards days" You're so salty about the fucking boobies and butts threads getting locked and deleted. Grow the fuck up. What is wrong with you that you need to come to a forum ABOUT VINYL RECORDS for your spank bank material. Fuck off with that shit. The internet is literally filled to the overflowing brim with porn, I implore you to go find it elsewhere. "Lighten the fuck up, and listen to your records" says a guy whose last status update in July was "thinking about just selling everything. havent spun a reciord in months." So why are you here? You want everyone else to lighten up... but I don't see anyone else writing an "Open letter" crying and whining about the quality of their precious boards. Now let's touch on your "pop punk" comment. Do people listen to music you think is shitty? Yes. Do people listen to music I think is shitty? Yes. Who fucking cares. Poke fun, and be done with it. What your comment really speaks to is your fucking elitist ageism nonsense. You're a fucking month off of 31, dude. You're posting on the forums of a website that sells My Chemical Romance and Jimmy Eat World represses and you're pissed that there are teenagers here? Grow the fuck up. Half of your latest posts are you going around insulting Doman and Rezqua, on their fucking pictures and posts. Are you kidding me man? You're so fucking insecure with yourself that you need to go around picking internet fights with people who are LITERALLY half of your age? Am I the biggest fan of some of the stuff those guys posts? NO. But they are a hell of a lot more tolerable than some nearly-31 year old asshole having a mid-life tempter tantrum on VINYL RECORDS forums who doesn't even listen to his own vinyl. Go join somethingawful or 4chan if you want to post pictures of tits and asses and talk about your sexual adventures every day. I think it's safe to say that these forums aren't the place for it, and everyone is getting pretty tired of your elitist tr00 punX nonsense. So, chill out, let other people live their lives, and listen to your records.

Parahoy just announced the lineup today for the cruise in March and Chvrches is going to be on it this year. So that makes total sense that Haley sang with them.

Sorry but the gif I just posted has been scientifically proven to always be hilarious forever.

Day 26: Still no sign of Black Deluxe. Beginning to lose hope. Supplies are running low. Torrented FLAC files are now the only thing keeping me alive. Not sure how much longer I'll survive here. Some nights, the spot gloss varnish haunts me in my dreams.

high school me is hyped

Forgot to post this here, but got my neck done by Dannii G a couple weeks ago at the Portland Tattoo Expo! His IG: dannii_ltp13 Mine: xerrrricx

Further Seems Forever, Emery and Armor For Sleep should all be up online any day now. As Cities Burn will be next month
