We're entirely blown away by the response on this record. Never in a million years would we have expected this. Thank you all for the kind words and support! Can't wait to share more songs with you all <3

Avant-garde chamber group Rachel's present the vinyl debut of their last full-length album systems/layers on Quarterstick Records. Originally released as a CD only in 2003, this double vinyl LP also includes the vinyl debut of Rachel's 2005 EP, Technology Is Killing Music. Praise for systems/layers: “Brilliant… A modern soundtrack to city life—an aural survival pack that pulls out moments of delicate beauty from all the s**t and cacophony. Don’t leave home without it.” - MOJO “Sonic layers, classical elements, pieces that seem unfinished, no guitars - and somehow it all works.” - Los Angeles Times “The avant-classical Rachel’s is our connection to beauty, to clarity and simplicity, to warmth that radiates from a single gesture.” - Magnet “Undeniable power and grace” - Pitchfork Included on the last side of this 2xLP release, Techonology Is Killing Music is an ideal companion to systems / layers. Assembled in the same cut up style, this 20-minute EP is a long-form suite comprised of material sourced from systems/layers studio sessions, live performance, and field recordings. Limited edition white double vinyl LP in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeves is available directly from Quarterstick Records and can be pre-ordered at the following link: http://store.quarterstickrecords.com/products/rachels-systems-layers-vinyl (black vinyl also available) From now until October 2nd, Quarterstick Records is offering a deluxe pre-order only bundle including an exclusive Rachel's t-shirt with systems/layers vinyl (black or limited edition white). Pre-orders for this deluxe systems/layers bundle can be placed here: http://store.quarterstickrecords.com/products/systemslayers-bundle-3 And, while supplies last, fans can pre-order the vinyl debut of systems / layers with an original letterpress poster for the SITI Company & Rachel's 2005 theatrical performance of systems/layers. Printed by Dexterity Press, this 19 inch by 12 inch poster was recently discovered in the band's archives. Pre-order the systems/layers 2xLP (black vinyl or limited edition white vinyl), the exclusive Rachel's t-shirt and the Dexterity Press letterpress poster at the following link: http://store.quarterstickrecords.com/products/systemslayers-bundle-4 October 2016 also marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Rachel's album The Sea and the Bells.

What's your estimate on a time period before these sell out?

$390... what the fuck.

They didn't even bother to include the centers? Classic cash grab.

Less than 500 of the gold left don't sleep if you don't think it will sell out today. Edit: They added a few hundred

Dynatron - "The Rigel Axiom" EP Pre-order: early September, 2016 Release: November 4th, 2016 - GREEN STARDUST & BLACK SWIRL [65 copies USA/Canada, 135 copies Rest of the World] - BLACK [35 copies USA/Canada, 65 copies Rest of the World]

Yeah, I'd like to echo the sentiment that this is in no way a cash grab. Hypothetically recording two new tracks onto a 7", throwing it exclusively into another reissue of their S/T, and charging double the normal price... would be an actual cash grab. Musicians writing quality new music – even if it's 17 years later – is a very good thing.

Youse guys better jump on that tape project before these sawft ass gingerbread Phoenician fuccbois on the tape board (I asked to be made) get me sent to Guantanamo haha. Geuss this is what I get for trying to hook fellow fans up with something cool.

AF is the CCR of emo. This shouldn't be that shocking.

Don't worry about that. Your profit margins decreased a week after rsd. Buy music for music

We have a long established history of treating minorities and women awfully. And a great amount of responsibility for why that treatment started to change was that the views reflected in our laws and by our leaders changed. I believe in social constructionism and that progress can be created and also lost- it's not cumulative and set. The views of our leaders affect the views of the people and vice versa. If we want to keep marriage equality and push forward on social issues, we need to keep electing officials who share a platform that wants to keep moving things forward. If you elect officials who want to unravel progress, progress will be unraveled. It won't happen instantly but you can look at the Trump phenomenon to see how constant repetition and approval can create a drastic difference in a group's comfort and confidence in espousing really hateful and ignorant speech in public. You don't know the racial makeup of posters in this thread. I'm half-Mexican and half-Cuban and both my parents were born outside of the US. Consider this one noted example of how a small misconception that is false can ever-so-slightly color your overall perspective. The naked statue stuff is embarrassing. It does more to harm women than it does to attack Trump in any meaningful way. It's re-enforcing the idea that its OK to attack people based on their looks, whether that person is a great person or a polarizing person. It's a really unhelpful form of 'activism' and gives groups a perfect distraction to zero in on to avoid discussing macro issues. I forget my college 101 list of fallacies from logic/english class but using one example (naked Trump statue) to make a broad generalization ("Conservatives are more socially progressive than Liberals right now") is on that list.

Who's down again this year? It'll be open for a week.

Ha. I'm a real sucker for this concept. Everytime.

New ETID song tomorrow, fuck yes

.....*cough* press Days Away *cough*.....

Maybe you wanna be on the internet around noonish tomorrow?

Dammit. Where the fuck is Santi????

New song Man I love the sounds these guys make.

Vinyl pre-order here: https://qrates.com/artists/11909/items/12420 Endless Summer (Vocal Edition) The Midnight's first full length album "Endless Summer" is now available on vinyl. Due to the length of a single vinyl LP, we were only able to fit a limited amount of songs on each side. So we chose to do a vocal edition for the vinyl version of "Endless Summer". The songs "The Comeback Kid" & "Vampires" have been slightly abbreviated to fit onto the vinyl. Depending on the popularity of this release, we might also make the instrumental tracks from "Endless Summer" available on vinyl. Thank you for your support!

10th Anniversary Tour variant (Cloudy Clear) up online at FBR webstore... http://store.fueledbyramen.com/almost-here-clear-vinyl.html Not sure pressing amounts vs. the orange

Reasonable to imagine people picking this up on a shelf will think it's Americ's album "Anfootball" and likely contains non-English lyrics.

But the celebration was short lived when they realized all of the fucking Air Heads they have to buy.

Sorta regretting not jumping on a silver - if anyone has the opposite feeling and wants to sell theirs, PM me! Somewhere my wife just got telepathically sick to her stomach and she's not sure why.

Nice, people are already flipping the silver on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/American-Football-LP2-Vinyl-Silver-SOLD-OUT-UK-Edition-180g-Sealed-250-/152216243361?hash=item2370cb8ca1:g:3GoAAOSw-itXvJv6

The typical method is: "Add a shitload of the item to your cart and try to break it."

Yup. Woke up, checked it, and finally just pulled the trigger. I am ASTOUNDED at how quickly these have sold, but stoked for PV. They're a good company and deserve that kind of business.

If you order it from MD, use MUSIC20 to save $5.

Not to brag or anything, but yeah, I saw Collective Soul in the early 2000s. *cracks knuckles*

Apparently you don't even know the difference between a question and a statement, so I guess there's no reason to continue this conversation

She's also the only candidate who is attached to a major party platform that pushes for progressive social issues in the United States via legislature and judicial appointments and she is the only candidate who is not attached to a major platform that openly seeks to roll back advancements in social issues via legislature and judicial appointments. Trump presidency with Republican platform = US corruption continues, social issues take a step back Clinton presidency with Democratic platform = US corruption continues, social issues continue to move forward If corruption is a major concern for Americans, I see positive change as more possible when the quality of life within the country is higher, education is higher, and critical thinking is higher. I don't see positive change to corrupt practices as more likely in a country where irrational, emotional thinking, denial of science, inequality, and institutionalized/leader approved lack-of-empathy are prioritized. I don't buy into the simplistic binary of "Clinton is corrupt / Everything else is non-corrupt" or the slightly more nuanced binary of "Clinton is corrupt / We don't know that everyone else is as corrupt so they could be less corrupt maybe".

how about we rename the thread to "Upcoming Hot Topic Releases That antisyntax Is Interested In"

Usually I use a knife, but instead of opening the record I insert it into my heart and die.

$390 record that will more than likely be played on an LP60.

Yea, you should have just spent your money on blow and hookers...would have got a better bang for your buck.

Just came here to post this haha Definitely hoping for the instrumental release as well. And Days of Thunder.

Oh, in that case I will go sit in the corner and be quiet.

Of course I'm down. Still bummed my giftee last year dropped off the face of the earth shortly after I sent the packages out, but that won't stop me from participating again.

Literally just placed the same exact order. Cheap vinyl and free shipping makes me feel very content.

Food service: Front of house is coked up and they won't share. Kitchen is stoned as fuck and they'll hook you up.

I mean if we want to be really honest you can hear a ton of what we consider Owen in AF1 too... If you don't hear the similarities in some of the guitar work in AF1 and Owen's first 3 records... maaaaaan. Kinsellas are the shit no matter what the name on the album is. I re-read this and it seemed unclear. My point is, AF inspired Owen, so, Owen inspiring AF is kind of assumed. The "origin" of the inspiration could go either way

Coming up in October, Waxwork Records is releasing the soundtrack to Mad Monster Party, which would be a fun addition. There are a few comps out there that are bunch of rare 50s, 60s and 70s horror songs. https://www.discogs.com/Various-Its-A-Monster-Bash-Party-Vol1/release/4950156 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Ghouls-Night-Out-Volume-1/master/617807 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Ghouls-Night-Out-Volume-2/master/679530 I saw someone recommended the Frankie Stein records and also the Ghouls (which I couldn't recommended enough, especially the Ghouls). This is one of my favorite 45s that I own, it's a promo 45 put out by this horror host in Syracuse New York named Baron Daemon. https://www.discogs.com/Baron-Daemon-The-Vampires-The-Transylvania-Twist-Ghost-Guitars/release/6387861The two songs are so amazing. It's kinda pricey but well worth it. This Munsters album is another great Halloween album if you can get your hands on one. https://www.discogs.com/Munsters-The-Munsters/release/3997698 This is also one of my personal favorites. https://www.discogs.com/Wade-Denning-With-Kay-Lande-Halloween/master/674354 It's Wade Dennings and Kay Lande, who put out other kid records way back when. Again, it is kinda pricey but I've definitely seen it in cheap bins. I think people see the record and assume it's garbage. The song Halloween Dance is so fun and catchy. You can check it out here

Lakeshore reposted this pic from a Danish electronic group that has nothing to do with this release or the folks involved. I wouldn't put too much stock in this artwork...

You never mentioned current bands anyway, you just said 33 years. I was just naming bands that are still making music. There's dozens that have broken up/members pass away that were around around for 33+ years. AC/DC is another current one. Been around since the early 70s and their last album was a pretty big seller. Hell, they are currently touring with Axl. You've never heard of Iron Maiden? Rush? You just made my point.

Amazon is brandishing a re-issue of Mike Patton's long out of print classic, "Mondo Cane". Due July 8th.

hmmm time to try and talk the local stores into buying tapes again.

On the kob, kreamed, kanned. am I doing it right?
