Mar 11, 10:20 PM EST Kendrick Lamar Cancels World Tour BY DAVID S. SPUDNICK Associated Press LOS ANGELES, CA -- A spokesman for American musician Kendrick Lamar has today revealed the hip-hop star plans to cancel all future tour dates as he tries diligently to keep up with demand for his newly released vinyl record album, made available as a signed limited edition from the rapper’s official web store. “We originally were going to offer a mere two thousand” the 28 year old from Compton told the AP “but when the orders started pouring in, I felt I owed it to the fans that made me the success I am today to continue to autograph and all the kids out there who desire an autographed copy get their wish.” The pre-order count currently sits at 4.8 million copies, with a reported 30,000-40,000 additional preorders coming in per hour. A Top Dawg Entertainment spokesman has confirmed several addition servers have been added to their web store to meet demand for these signed copies. In related news, Mr. Lamar has also revealed he has scrapped any follow-up albums as he focuses his attention on working through the piles of albums still left unsigned.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I ended up with a spare Life is Strange record. I'll give it away on here soon, once i work out how to do it fairly. (Please don't PM me asking for the record - when I give it away, I want to make sure that everyone has a shot)

I posted and deleted. I don't want anything to do with the bitch-fest happening in here.

Dude. I'm the same guy who about 2 years ago sent you photos of a box that arrived with two totally torn/split open corners. 3 of the 5 records hanging out of one of the corners had magically managed to worm their way through your bullet proof paper mesh covering & get significant tears on two of them with pretty gnarly bends on all 5 of them. You know that sick to your stomach feeling you get when you are super disappointed after waiting 3-4 months for something you expect to be awesome to arrive & instead it shows up totally fucked up? Well I had that feeling when the guy at UPS handed me this box. I even took photos PRIOR to opening the box because the damage was so impressive. I emailed you the photos & was super polite about it all & you acted slightly put off by my simply asking if you had any extra sleeves. After bitching at length about how hard and expensive running a label by yourself is & my only having asked for 3 sleeves, you charged me $20 for them. Cool. I then sent you $20 for the sleeves. AFTER I sent the money, you then told me I had to wait until I ordered more records from you so you could include the sleeves with that order & not have to pay for shipping the sleeves separately. Awesome. Whatever. I totally realize I'm an idiot for continuing to order from you. But maybe next time you refer to people as shitting on your releases simply because they criticize the amount you charge for media mail, you should consider that maybe that person has dealt with you before & has a reason for being a bit bitter/critical with how you do things. My current order with you is #7879 & is for one copy of the Perturbator "The Uncanny Valley" clear 3xlp box. I would greatly appreciate it if you cancel/refund this order. While you're at it, you can look at all the other stuff I've ordered from you over the years without a single complaint other than the damaged sleeves I mentioned above. Lastly, you can take solace in the fact that there will be one less person in the world with a reason to "sh*t" on one of your releases ever again.

From what I have understood, eating healthy (right amount of calories) goes a long way. Combining that with a couple, or three, walks a week is even better. And who says you need the gym to work out? I haven't been to the gym in ages, I always work out at home. 5 minutes is better than no minutes too, as long as you warm up, so you don't hurt yourself.

POPs are up!

I finally managed to track down a reasonably priced copy of the 1997 Parappa The Rapper release. Now yeah, picture discs suck but just look at the art on this thing!

The Dillinger Escape Plan

smash the windows Mischief Brew’s debut LP, long out-of-print, has been given a new coat of paint! We've re-released the album on 180 gram vinyl, completely remastered from the original tapes by Carl Saff. “Smash The Windows” is a carnival-punk whirligig, a menagerie of the bizarre combining anarcho-punk with Eastern-European folk, Django-esque swing, Beat-era jazz, Celtic balladry, and straight-up anthemic rebel music that somehow pulls off a mix of The Pogues, Utah Phillips, Chumbawamba, Morphine, Subhumans, Motherhead Bug, Tom Waits, and some kind of dusty fairground organ that you smashed a bottle of whiskey against. Recorded in Brooklyn at Vibromonk Studios in 2004 by Danny Shatzky and Tamir Muskat (Firewater, Gogol Bordello), this is more of a musical soundtrack, with characters and settings, than a traditional punk record. It also features a slew of guest appearances by members of Balkan Beat Box, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Leftover Crack, The Citywide Specials, and more. Includes a digital download of the album, plus unreleased outtakes. Songs: 1. The Reinvention Of The Printing Press 2. Citizens Drive 3. Lightning Knock The Power Out 4. Nomads Revolt 5. The Lowly Carpenter 6. Ten Thousand Fleas 7. Swing Against The Nazis 8. From The Rooftops 9. The Gypsy, The Punk, And The Fool (A Tale) 10. Roll Me Through The Gates Of Hell 11. Ain't It The Life? 12. A Liquor Never Brewed 13. Departure Arrival 14. Bag Of Pepper (Digital Bonus Track - Outtake) 15. The Lowly Carpenter (Digital Bonus Track - Acoustic Mix, Outtake) smash the windows

All records have undergone the Spin-Clean process, with the exception of those released within the last couple years (because they were/are visually and aurally pleasing to me).

More of the recent releases have been added (ex: Mondo soundtracks, Sub Pop) to the inventory.

More on that in the next two weeks!

A kickstarter for hotline miami on vinyl. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lacedrecords/hotline-miami-collectors-edition-vinyl Yea instantly backed!!

I'm fucking glad it's fucking Friday

Dude, I think I love you.

I think that may've been the joke...?

We blowing people for the Vertigo Flowers variant now?

Considering the amount of variants out there? I would. The Hobby™ Portfolio™.

If you want them, get them. It's fun organizing your collection and setting up your storage and there is no shame in enjoying your records.

I never really understood the need for the dividers. Don't most of you know your collection well enough to where you can find the "P" or "J" section rather quickly? I can see the need for the dividers in stores obviously, just not in personal collections.

Hotline Miami twitter teased something soundtrack related. Let's all hope this is HM on vinyl.

I'm a mwY variant collector.... 2 worlds collide

Do not request clear!

Just to be clear, is there an orange variant and if so where is it available? /s

Didn't even sell out in 30 seconds. Is Mud a dud?

Woot. Would this be an appropriate time to say 'Fuck Victory Records'?

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

https://kirbysdreamband.bandcamp.com/album/the-pink-album If you guys love retro game music, highly recommend grabbing this album before it's gone for good ElectroRock covers of Kirby songs with some other awesome games spliced in there (Street Fighter, Sonic, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, etc.) It's a gatefold on pink vinyl, only 300 copies total I think.

No, 65daysofstatic is doing the music and they're a pretty solid post-rock band.

Sincerely consider this one of the best moments in musical history....getting caught/called out on being nothing more than a dancer lip-synching to heavily auto-tuned backing tracks and instead of trying to push forward with a career, she realized she was a clown, danced off stage as a clown, and let that be that. That incident kept her from spewing out album upon albums of insipid radio pop bullshit....hopefully made her re-evaluate her life as well. It'd be rad to think that some super fan of hers, like worshipped her, completely made said-fan reevaluate their musical tastes in finding out their idol was a fraud....and pushed said super fan into seeking out legit music as a result........one could only hope that was the outcome from all of her fans An almost perfect moment in the history of music in my opinion
