Travis, when will there be another ChasHawk post?

Prediction: All records will be delayed til 2017 due to vinyl plant backups.

The deed is done, it's offical, I own a copy of hot damn...for the second time in my life. Yas

Get trolled almost two years later. Bravo Alex.

I was hoping this was for the RSD version of Sports by Huey Lewis and The News

Follow your favorite labels and bands on social media (FB, twitter, Instagram). They usually give the heads up well in advance of a pre-order. This forum is also a very useful tool for keeping up with the latest PO's, variants, etc.

I can recommend a few. Actually, I'm going to start a world beat/world music recommendation thread after I post this. People have already mentioned Sun City Girls. They had a long and interesting run that began along side other Phoenix punk bands like J.F.A. but I wouldn't call SCG a punk band. Their discography is rather large but favorites tend to be Torch of the Mystics and 330,003 Crossdressers From Beyond The Rig Veda. I also really like Sumatran Electric Chair. They're not for everyone but if you're a fan of Middle Eastern or West African music or The Residents---then give them a try. Even though I love Krautrock, I'm not a huge fan of Harmonia. But I really like and recommend picking up Deluxe. Harmonia was Michael Rother from Neu! and Moebius and Roedelius from Cluster. This means lots of electronic/synth sounds and beats with some guitar for punctuation. Brian Eno was a huge fan and joined them/ripped them off at one point. The box set mentioned is really for the true fan but if Harmonia sounds interesting then I suggest you start with Deluxe. The record I can't recommend enough is Tribo Massahi. If you like Brazilian psych or Fela Kuti, I suggest you grab this. It has been on heavy rotation around here the last few weeks. While the record is broken into songs, each side sounds like a long jam session that flows seamlessly from one song to the next without interruption. I found a copy for $22 on Discogs which is close to cost. It retails in the $35 range. While I know and like Don Cherry, I'm not familiar with this release especially since it has never been released. Cherry played with Ornette Coleman and Charlie Haden. He put out records under his own name as well. He's also the father of Neneh and Eagle-Eye Cherry. If you like jazz, then check him out. The Popol Vuh record is also highly recommended. Another Krautrock band that's really just Florian Fricke and a host of collaborators, Popol Vuh is like nothing else. While Krautrock tends to be associated with synthesizers, Fricke moved away from electronica early on and developed his own sound. This record is a beautiful and dramatic soundscape that is both moody and moving. I almost forgot about Doug Hream Blunt. I picked up a two song 12" single last spring that left me wanting more. Blunt creates a funky groove and delivers sexy lyrics with a laid back tone that don't sound dated especially if you dig Ariel Pink. The 12" is a remix so I'm not sure what blunt creates without being mixed by someone else but I'm definitely checking out the full length. I'm not sure about the rest of the list but I may check out a few.

Lol.

There will be lots of easy passes.

Is it bad that I'm so broke that when I saw that thread title I thought "NO NOT NOW" ??

Yeah, well let's see what he names HIS record label... Oh wait...

Got them all, taking a picture of them under the Christmas tree once I get them all in. So excited to play them on a good record player with proper weighting.

Your destiny is being achieved, your highness.

Not to sound at all condescending, but as someone who used to bump heads with you more than most anyone else on the board, I just wanted to say that your choices haven't gone unnoticed. You've made tremendous strides in being supportive and positive to the forums, and I admire that. We all have rough spots and go through personal shit that gets reflected in some of our posts, but it seems like a lot of that is either behind you, or that you've taken a whole new approach to keeping a lid on it as far as your online persona is concerned. Either way, your posts have been pleasant for quite a while now and I feel like I appreciate that fact more than most.

Hi guys and gals, There are a lot of great people who contribute to this board and I'm very thankful to be a part of it. I realized I was being a negative asshole here for a long time, acting like an internet keyboard warrior, and surely pissed a lot of people off while acting a fool. This is an open apology for acting like an asshole. This board has helped me snag some really good deals / grab PO's that I would not have known about otherwise, and I'm forever grateful for it. Moving forward, my goal has been to be a solid contributing and positive member while staying away / out of the drama. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, Festivus, or whatever you may celebrate, and a happy New Year. I look forward to 2016 full of awesome releases and opportunities to discover new music. -Mark

WHY DO YOUR EYES PARALYZE ME?

I wish that scene were a person so I could fistfight it. Not JGL though, he's a precious angel.

I've bought so many records in the last month that I can't remember exactly everything, but here's some of the ones I'm most excited about: Atmosphere- You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having 10th Anniversary 4xLP Atmosphere: The Fun EP, picture disc Felt 2: A Tribute To Lisa Bonet 10th Anniversary 4xLP Dillinger Escape Plan- Calculating Infinity, orange Death By Stereo- Day of the Death, translucent orange NWA- Straight Outta Compton Eminem- The Vinyl LPs, Hastings eBay bankruptcy sale edition Lydia- This December; It's One More and I'm Free

To be fair, Neil has been gouging on his releases for years. Even before the vinyl boom.

The last two posts describe me.

People will bitch about how bad RSD has gotten. Will still spend hundreds on RSD releases.

get ready for some weird shit. Sir Richard Bishop is out there. Also, fun fact: Sun City is a retirement community out in AZ, pretty much, so they're name basically alludes to them being old ladies. I second the worth a listen, its just so in its own class.

UGH!! and yes the VC crew met. had pizza, talked life outside of VC and collectively cried that a few of us drove all the way from NYC to have no record release variant. waaa. except of course for the picture above. 02/100 which is more like 01/01 .. damn you thedillon

Look for the picture of the cow the Highway Patrol tied to a street sign lololol Edit: "Ok Mr. Cow, you stay here...."

I've ordered from them 4 times as with the money off codes they can be the cheapest way of getting hold of things. First sleeve got bent. Everything else has arrived mint.

haha I was about to say MultiQuote can be your friend. But on the real, we weren't attacking you. We were discussing it with you. Explaining it from our point of view. If you took it as a bunch of cool kids flaming you, you missed the point. Some people have very sarcastic tones, some people are direct. Just have some fun dude and don't take it personal.

yesssssssssss mine arrived today! it is indeed the pressing i expected (and really wanted) it to be, etching is L-11458M-A DOG-047 A no date or any markings indicating the date unfortunately, since Doghouse said it was the 'remastered' version, and the remastered CD came out in 2001, I'm going to assume this pressing came out on or around the same time, so by my calculations there's been the following pressings, each has a new test pressing: 1st Press - 1997 (Black, Coke Bottle Clear, Translucent Blue, Translucent Red, Translucent Gold) 2nd Press (Remastered) - 2001 (Black w/ Different Center Labels) 3rd Press (Euro on Defiance Records) - 2002 (Black w/ Different Artwork) 4th Press (Reissue) - 2008 (Clear, Opaque Blue, Opaque Pink, Translucent Gold) 5th Press (15th Anniversary) - 2012 (White, White w/ Blue Haze) 6th Press - 2015 (White w/ Blue Splatter)

You all make my banana stand

someone beat me too it!

I just ate a burrito.

False hope thread - haha

calling people turds is fun. I also love the term wiener rock. ie. that hot topic thread is full of turds and a bunch of wiener rock.

This. Can't wait for more updates from rhcp02.

Free Shipping on their webstore if you spend $50 or more Code: FREESHIP Now would be a good time to get the red/black split if you haven't picked it up yet!

The ones I read did, but thats's neither here nor there. The fact remains that it still doesn't make him any less of an asshole because it's life saving medicine for "only" 2000 people per year instead of the entire aids/hiv population. He has also done similar things before. Dude's a turd.

yeah, this list really caters to VC's core audience.

DAMMNNNNNN YALL JUST GOT CALLED OUT BY john.

TBH I think this price point is fair as it will support a struggling online indie music shop, Disney Music, as they fight to bring an up and coming indie music conductor, John Williams, and his music to the masses......

I don't like when people open their gifts early. I'm a broken record at this point.

I have a co-worker who always says the phrase "in the mix," and the way this person punctuates the X in "mix" drives me up a fucking wall.
