First off… wow! Thank you so much Secret Santa for the amazing gifts! Etiquette says I should have waited until the end of December, but it’s all good right?! Before I give it a guess, here is what I received… Pee-Wee Herman shirt! Starmarket - Four Hours Light CD V/A - SubUrbia (1996) Soundtrack CD Little Sister - Things That Are Forever CD (SS’s defunct band) Ordet - You Are Now Leaving The Boardwalk Of Fame & Happiness (SS’s solo CD, the disc has the band name as Less Than Everyone, but I think he changed it to Ordet since then…) Pity Sex - Feast Of Love LP (half bone/half maroon w/ bone splatta!) Tracy Chapman - S/T LP Pat Smear - Pat Ruthensmear LP Last, but not least… 3 mix CD’s which are all excellent! I seriously only heard a few songs previous that are spread across these discs, so these mixes introduced me to a lot of great music. I’m still on disc 1 since I can’t stop listening to it. I decided to make a unboxing video and post it on youtube which I’ve never done before, but it came out alright… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb5ngP2KJTs I was worried at first since my SS didn’t leave me any clues in his letter!! Luckily, he sent his previous band and current solo CD so after some research, I am 99.9% sure my SS is… shadowkid33?! Thanks again for everything and expect a lengthy pm this week with some feedback on those mix CD’s (and your music as well)!! Can't wait to see what everyone else received throughout this month and December.

Hey buddies, I'll make this quick! I'm putting together a compilation of cover songs that will be available digitally and on ltd. cassette tapes. I'll be donating proceeds to The Trevor Project (http://www.thetrevorproject.org/). I'm looking for some more tracks. If you play in a band or write/record your own stuff, or have a friend who does, send me submissions! I want this thing to be killer and would love to have some VCers involved. This comp will feature Merit, Jon Snodgrass, Micah Schnabel (Two Cow Garage), and most Hot Vodka Records artists/bands to name a few. Please PM me or shoot an email to hotvodkarecords at gmail dot com. All submissions are welcome! Thanks guys/gals.

Just getting this thread started now... It's only a matter of time before it needs to be bumped.

Where's Turbo Kid??? ;-;

Just got an email asking for a phone interview for a job I randomly applied for in Omaha.

http://hastebin.com/raw/eziriberin List of 925 names that Codsworth can call you in game. Never in 1 million years did I expect that my preferred name would be on the list. Rook it is. I love you Bethesda.

You guys realize that Visions was a pop album too, right? Pop music isn't synonymous with bad music.

I made spaghetti for breakfast.

This might not be a recent picture, but this is a young Butcha in his favorite Halloween costume. I remember trick or treating in it and instead of saying trick or treat it was "what're yaa gonna doo brotherr?!"

I think the quality of the music has already been discussed quite a bit, for a couple of months now. It's been out digitally and on cd/standard vinyl for a while. The more pertinent conversation at the moment is about defects in the deluxe versions that have now starting shipping out. It's not ridiculous that people are interested in if their copy is going to arrive with problems or not. No need for people to keep being snarky.

Ty Segall Mails VHS Tape Featuring New Album Emotional Muggerhttp://pitchfork.com/news/62025-ty-segall-mails-vhs-tape-featuring-new-album-emotional-mugger/

Mine arrived today, as well. Everything is beautiful, nothing is hurt.

^^^ yup

It was great, really. It's really cool to make new connections with those who share your likes and hobbies. I have met some great folks here in the past few months that are more genuine than those I know in real life

So, i put it up there for 30 bucks because i didn't really care, it was free. By time the auction ended it hit $950. I chatted a bit with the winner, and apparently it was a 3 way duel between the 3 biggest collectors on the Foo Fighters O-Board. Fucking What?

Immense gratitude to Marc!!!

In my head I was like 'do all British people love Harry Potter...' or am I just being an asshole. Haha.

wow i randomly found this yesterday and bought the cass... weird this thread would pop up

Blue is back up on the TEB webstore. Enjoy.

Well I drank my ass off after the Panthers and Knicks won. Now I need some Waffle House for this hangover. I might clean after that haha

Thank you both for the replies!

ive been to a couple shows where it's a problem. When someone is singing so completely off-key near you, where you can't hear the artist you came to see. It gets distracting.

I gotta say, that new Keep EP is one of the best things I've heard all year. So stoked to get the 7". Their first EP is awesome, too. Definitely a fairly hidden gem.

I freaking love singing at shows. I'm a words guy though.

You don't deserve it if you couldn't come up with that.

I saw them a few years ago. Ozzy sounded rough but the rest of the band sounded good enough. They played everything you would want to hear. It worked out.

The fact that you're not permanently IP banned is a perfect example of how fucked sideways these boards are. Fuck right back off to wherever you've been for the past week. It was a lot nicer here.

James, new Thomas Hunter!

Nice! My pleasure glad you were able to get it on the cheap even if not the 4.99!

Yesterday/last night went to see Minus the Bear in Orlando and hung out with James. Before the show we hit up Gringos Locos and they have bomb-ass tacos.

You'd have a terrible time at a Dashboard show

They seem to want to have the Data Disc model, right down to the early access to email subscribers and web-store exclusive variants.

Shipping orders again tomorrow. Get those orders in. Only 11 more yellow/pink splits left for Day at the fair. Also buy 3 shirts and get a free copy of Abel.

I went to a strip club they opened here years ago, and one of the first girls that did the whole "come by and try to sell you a dance" bit, was a chick I had senior english with....So, I got a dance, then told her I had been staring at her huge boobs our entire senior year and that it was nice to not have to imagine anymore lol

Tyler Stout made a 'Blade Runner' style poster for El Vy's 'Return to the Moon' album. I picked it up at the second night of their Portland shows.

As long as you're not an asshole or an idiot---we're always friendly.

Do you think SRC will release these on CD next year?

So earlier in the thread I complained about the USPS losing my package and I feel the need to give a shout-out to MerchNow as a follow up: I emailed them letting them know that the package was MIA. They responded swiftly letting me know that they would file a claim with USPS and get back to me in 1-2 weeks. I waited about three weeks and then sent a follow-up emails asking if there had been a resolution. Another swift response saying that they would move forward with either a refund or a replacement, whichever I choose. I naturally chose the replacement. ;-) They shipped it two day priority, packed like a tank. Very awesome problem resolution - I'm impressed! This is also the very first time that I've 100% lost an item, so I am still counting my lucky stars considering how much mail order I do. Sorry for the novel. I wanted to spread a little positivity.

Supposedly the label is getting everything in next week now...supposedly.

I'm the opposite. I love Grimes, but think Lana Del Rey is ridiculously contrived and boring. But different strokes, I guess.

.

If I was too late I'm definitely looking!

available now to JN VIPers...105 and some change shipped and it comes with a signed flexi post card that will be sent out beforehand (for colored /300 version only)

Glad this has been resolved and all parties have agreed to let it go!

Their webstore is 50 percent off everything...I just picked up a few tour prints to gift out. Coupon code - "fireworks"

Redroom, you're my favorite

From Danny about the gap between songs: These are EXACTLY how they should be. I am sorry your not happy with the items but they are no sourced from a CD. when audio is put on a record each song needs to have a gate so that you can find the track and that the turntable operates as it should. If this was a CD reissue then you would be correct in saying its an issue. Also there is a gap in the CD or it would not be another track. It just is very very small from track to track. This is a vinyl record and this is exactly how it should be. It sounds flawless. I too love this album and would not create a product my company was not proud of.

Merry Swiftmas.
