Any word on their Stuart Little 2 release?

One sentence form him could be a few pages. Would be much better if Gumbo was "featured" under each album description/review and he's allowed 3 words. GUMBO'S 3 WORD REVIEW: "orgasmic ear-jaculation pinnacle" "transcendental archival masterwork" "incredulously precocious pandemic"

The HT copies of AWKIF got bumped, probably coming out around early December

Whiskeytown's Strangers Almanac appears to be available on Amazon right now... for $26 Prime/$19 Marketplace. I'd grab it soon if you're interested.

There also may be a red copy (could be weird saturation but it doesn't look like a burst or translucent) from another Australian store (Remote Control Records). Here are some snaps of what is out there so far: Flightless tri /1000 Flightless blob /1000 ATO starburst, U.S. retail (?) (photo credit to instagram user vinylcreep) Bootleg edition, indie exclusive (/1250) (photo credit instagram user ambient_hum) Yellow Flightless pressing, Aus retail (?) Red (?) Flightless pressing, Aus retail (?)

You already posted this exact same thing on this page.

I recently was asked to do a design for a David Bazan show, figured some of you may be interested in this! 16x20 4 color print. The 4th color is GLOW IN THE DARK, which is a hidden layer in the light. Really excited with how this turned out. Limited to 50, there were only 15 left after the show. The few remaining copies can be ordered RIGHT HERE. Here's an example of what the glow in the dark layer looks like:

Okay, since I've already opened mine, I figured I'd go ahead and post a photo of it! Here's what all I got: Beach House - Depression Cherry (Loser Edition, clear vinyl in velvet sleeve) Funko POP TV Leela figurine a really rad 50th anniversary Looney Tunes cup from 1990 some awesome stickers! a note with some info about the selection and some clues as to their identity. I absolutely love everything that I got, and honestly, the amount of thought that went into each part of the box made each thing better to me. Kudos on the Leela figure, I very recently started collecting vinyl figures to display on my bookshelf AND she's actually my fav Futurama character, so that's a win-win. And yes, I did mean that I collect drinking glasses and mugs from the 80s and 90s, so you were spot-on, haha. Also! I'd been meaning to pick that Beach House album up, so that was a very pleasant surprise! Also, based on the clues in the note, (from Michigan, same age, hangs out in a lot of the pop punk/ska threads, etc.), I'm almost positive that the person responsible for this lovely package was SmikeX13! Did I win?

Tell my family I loved them.

// A Love Letter // We all know you not only have an aesthetically pleasing formatting structure, great taste in music, PS, but you're also the nicest fucker, yet entertaining fucker at that, I've ever met on here. Plus you are god damn handsome as hell. You won the genetic lottery, but then were placed in the middle of fucking nowhere CA to make up for it. I should have used some nice type face in AI, made an album cover flow of the playlist I made to type of this short love letter, and then posted it. Or even better, taken calligraphy classes, invested in a fountain pen, written the letter, made you a mixtape to go with it (of said playlist), sealed it with wax [and a kiss], and had a carrier dressed in robes hand deliver it to you on your lunch break at work. Fuck, might as well at least make the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/matt_photographs/playlist/2lj4xaXIC5dfR3DQac40iR Notice how the number '1' repeats, Derek? That's cause you're my '1'. You're the only one for me.

I should see of I can find my old Minor Threat shirt. I thought I was so fucking cool wearing that shit in 9th grade. I say while smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer...waiting for my girlfriend so we can smoke a bowl.

Let's hope for Chariot.

yeah me too that one caught me by surprise. I got both Marietta records (their new album is really good, I wish that the splatter variant was still around it looks awesome) and Tommy Boys a 2LP for $15 shipped, I thought I had stepped into a time warp of the old VC boards for a second. discovered Souvenirs - You, Fear and Me as well. that Hollyhocks ep is another really good release but I cant find any info on the band/project other than the linked bandcamp page.

Warning: this thread will make you buy really good LPs from newer/active bands for under $20 a pop. That goes against everything current day VC stands for!

I can't wait until the world ends and I can loot all the Dixie Chicks CDs from Kmart with Charlie

Thank you to whoever down voted every post in this thread Really fucking mature of you. Really.

Fault in Our Stars is offensively bad in every way. If it had just been Willem Defaoe's character being mean to those shitty kids for two hours it would have been movie of the year.

W-X reminds me of the first couple White Fence albums with zero of the rock influence. Not entirely what I was expecting but am still digging it. Tim Presley is the man.

You post reminded me I didn't put up my VPN yet because my school network blocked whatever that picture is. Thanks <3

Is that something people say that you can't stand or are you explaining what sewage is?

Funny enough, I'm making tacos tonight. Thank you sir.

The lady and myself just switched back to flannel sheets for the winter. This couldn't come at a better time.

Wait, I thought these were part of the mislabeled OG press? eidt: according to discogs: http://www.discogs.com/DIIV-Oshin/release/7666507

Happy birthday!!

Today is James' birthday!!!! Make sure you wish him a happy one!

I wish I could remember what my first post-rock album was. I recall reading nothing but praise for the likes of Godspeed and Mogwai, but me being 15 and just starting to get into a lot of [what is currently] VC-core – Thrice, Brand New, Circa Survive, Coheed & Cambria – a lot of it went over my head. I couldn't wrap my mind around songs that went on for 8-20 minutes and featured minimal lyrics, if at all. Where was my bombastic chorus? Where were all the hooks? Where was that angsty post-hardcore energy? I made it halfway through the snoozefest that was F♯ A♯ ∞. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place sure did sound pretty, but... was that it? For a whole album? I dug the movie Gremlins as a kid, but why the fuck would someone name their band Mogwai, and more importantly, why were they so boring? I was a lost cause. These and more resided in my iTunes, untouched. They became albums that I'd "eventually get around to" and explore more, once I got Thursday and Underoath out of my system. I recall having Russian Circles' Enter in there, too, and being both impressed by the aggression of it, but also iffy about the song structures and lack of lyrics. It wasn't safe enough for the genre kick I was on. But somewhere along the way of exploring new music (and lots of shitty post-hardcore that I still warmly cringe over, upon reflection), I stumbled across Moving Mountains' Pneuma. I've always said that that record does a swell job at bridging the gap between post-whatever and post-rock: there's enough structure in it that it's relatable for teens who've never crawled out from under the Thrice rock, and enough instrumental finesse that it cracks open a few doors into the post-rock world. Before I knew it, I was living for those builds and climactic jams, and actually digging the instrumental passages more than the choruses themselves. I began chasing something similar in sound... hunting down blogs and RIYL lists in hopes of scratching my newfound itch. That's how I bumped into The Appleseed Cast's Low Level Owl: Volume I + II. The first volume, in particular, really opened up my eyes. Like a lighter, softer version of Pneuma that I could really groove to. I believe that was how I became introduced to Mylene Sheath - perhaps from distro links - and I remember placing a pretty ballsy vinyl order based off just a few samples of songs. I grabbed a maroon, first press of Caspian's Tertia, a swamp-blue split copy of GFE's From Fathoms, and a translucent-green press of ITTCT's Above The Earth, Below The Sky. I was working part-time and fairly new to the vinyl game, and there was a moment where I was wondering whether or not I had sunk $80 into a handful of albums I wouldn't warm up. But the day they arrived was nothing short of glorious, and those fears quickly melted away. (I'm sure I still have that invoice somewhere, too.) It didn't take long for me to fall in love with all 3 of those; something had clicked, and my brain had conquered the post-rock roadblock I was hung up on. I was pleb no longer. Those soaring crescendos and gargantuan riffs were enough to keep me coming back for more and more. Russian Circles' Enter became appealing overnight, and Station was released immediately after. Excellent. EITS' back catalog suddenly knocked me on my ass, and everything was coming together nicely. It still took me a bit of time to get into the brooding atmosphere of Godspeed, or the abstract likes of Sigur Rós' vocals. But obviously those have become favorites over the years. I can probably, honestly, trace it all back to Pneuma.

Got this nice colored version in, what a great trip is this album, i like it very much!

Hahaha. I appreciate your strong opinions cause I know you have good reason for it. For me it's the first three. I don't need anything after that. But I sure as hell can't choose my faovrite from those. They each have their own sound, own style, own theme. I have the best memories connected to Crisis, but I think I enjoy Watch Out! more. Hell, if I put on any Alexisonfire song I'm going to be listening to them for a few hours. I remember seeing them at Bamboozle in '06. They were the first band of the day, so it was like at 11:30AM. I don't think I've ever seen a band with so much energy, especially that early in the morning, like god damn. SO much respect.

No punk list should never exclude MINUTEMEN

So you're putting a valuation on this vinyl of $40,000?

I tried to press this about five years ago. At first I was going to fund it myself, but when I realized it would need to be a double LP and how expensive licensing would be, I pitched doing a kickstarter to raise $2,500 (which is less than half), I would fund the rest. The band was for the pressing in general but their manager, after going back and forth, said no because it could be bad PR for the band if the kickstarter didn't reach its goal. I said they'd have no problem hitting it, then they said they're going to wait until the rights of the album divert to them in 2014 so they could do a proper remaster. Offer 400 copies for $100 each, there's your bad PR.

"There is a difference between black people and n*****s" I fucking hate this one so much

I was talking to a dude between bands at a show with my friend and he referred to us as "you cats," people in his anecdotes as "this cat," etc. I could stand it, but I thought it fit with people talking about terms of endearment. As far as what I can't stand, music edition: *is playing/listening to something remotely emotional* "What are you playing/listening to? It makes me wanna kill myself."

Medeski Martin and Wood - Shack-man Suicide Machines - The Suicide Machines 25¢ each

Another two dollars well spent

The RSD one(s)? Are they worth more than cost? I assumed they weren't once the 12" came out.
