Some poor soul is going to have to cancel hundreds of orders today. The Facebook post for the signed vinyl had 1,500 likes just 90 minutes after being posted last night. Or maybe they'll hire Kendrick Lamar's assistant to sign all of 'em.

I saw them in a community center in Foxboro, MA in I think it must have been the winter of 2000, like february/march. It was mind-numbingly cold. I remember the heat in my friend's car barely worked and by the time we drove home after the show to our dorms in Lowell (1:15 away or so) I couldn't feel my feet anymore. It was freezing in the venue too; everyone wore their coats even when they got in the pit. There were four bands, the first of which was my friend's emocore band, then some other band, then Converge. The place had a stage but they set up on the floor and jesus fuck they pounded the hell out of that place. Everyone was very into getting in the pit or at least standing very close while they played because it helped you to stay warm, even though the place was way too big for the number of people there. Cave In was the last band/headliner and it may have been one of the very first times they played the stuff that was going to be on Jupiter which came out like 6 months later. There was a part where they were playing toy ray guns into their guitar pickups with delay pedals and stuff, in addition to just the general space-rock differentness of the Jupiter material. All the hardcore kids were PIIIIIIIISSED. They were like "what the fuck is this Pink Floyd bullshit??!?!?!!?" and I just laughed. I didn't know Converge or Cave In that much at the time (I had heard them both here and there) but for everything that happened it was one of the most memorable shows I've ever attended.

I received a box from Amazon today. I opened it thinking it was the last of my xmas shopping, but there was curator stuff in there instead! I actually texted my mom and girlfriend asking if they ordered something through Prime and sent it in my name/address, but they didn't. I looked around for a packing slip, message, etc. and found this... This was sent by none other than...na na na na na na na na.. @batman!! Thanks so much Batman! I love The Menzingers and for some reason I didn't own this album. I'm actually going to see them this weekend in Scranton for their annual holiday show. @shadowkid33 are you going again this year?! I'm psyched to check out the Bukowski book. I have two of his books and this one is full of poems throughout his life. It's a big one too! Last, but not least.. awesome job on the Please Kill Me book! I have the older edition, but they just released this 20th anniversary edition which I really wanted, but didn't want to re-buy! Thanks again Batman and hope you have a great holiday this year!

So yesterday I got a package.. All i can say is thank you.. I loved it.. I received several 7"s, and a CD. 2 band i never heard, but i enjoy local bands from other cities, so that's a plus. Will be listening to them shortly. I also received a ICARE for vaping. Which couldn't come at a better time. We ran out at work before i could buy one, so i'll be using mine shortly as soon as i can get a higher concentration of nicotine juices (today got some berry lemonade) I also received some chocolate brittle but that didn't last more than 10 minutes. how anyone can know i loved that stuff like crack is beyond me because i never listed it. It was literally opened and was eating it as i checked out the stuff inside the box. Stuff was so good. So from the bottom of my cold dead heart... THANK YOU!!!! Thanks Ianmonsta!!!! I really appreciate it!!!!

I would gladly pay $50 for a record I love. The suckers are the ones who paid $100. quit trolling.

Not only that, we shouldn't be allowed to play their records anymore.

So any band that no longer plays live should stop selling their music? Seems super logical.

Please stop.

SRC should do deluxe pressings for the early FOB records. I'd buy em all.

HEY OOOOOOOOO!

SRC should not do anything

Received both LP grab bags today. Not bad at all since I only own 4 out of the 20 sent! I didn't open any to see if they are colored/limited, but I don't think they are which is fine. Banner Pilot - Souvenir (already have) Big In Japan - Destroy The New Rock Bracket - When All Else Fails Joey Cape - Bad Loud Vol. 1 Consumed - Breakfast At Pappa's 10" Diesel Boy - Venus Envy The Flipsides - Clever One The Loved Ones - Keep Your Heart (already have) Old Man Markley - Down Side Up Only Crime - To The Nines Pour Habit - Got Your Back Screeching Weasel - Television City Dream Screeching Weasel - First World Manifesto Squirtgun - Fade To Bright Snuff - Blue Gravy 10" Strung Out - Prototypes And Painkillers (already have) Sundowner - Neon Fiction (already have) Swingin' Utters - Brazen Head 10" Swingin' Utters - Live In A Dive Tilt - Viewers Like You

Uh-oh

So I got some real listens in and this record is absolutely incredible. I'm pretty much over the screamo period of my life other than a few staples but this record (despite only covering one side of a 12" record) is easily one of my favorites this year. I can't actually believe that I'm considering it one of the best with all these other 60+ minute LPs. The last two minutes of the last song... fuck me.

That is definitely a 12", and I hope that it is the Blood Moon set. The clips I heard sounded killer!

Can't speak on specifics since I don't have the persons info but I'm guessing that the 3 lps were ordered separately (black) and not the actual bundle. We're still waiting on the bundles to arrive in the warehouse so no one has gotten those yet. I think they'll be here late this week. Which means your records won't hit street date. Yipppeee, we get to field a bunch of emails asking "where's my shit you fucking assholes? " tis the season

I'm afraid to ask how old you are.

The dollar is at an all time high due to the current president (and volatility in Europe and Asia). I'm so glad you've come to your senses and appreciated Obama's leadership over these past eight years.

Maybe he was just showing off his finely manicured hands.

http://youkeepthediner.bigcartel.com/product/wax-packs-series-1-sealed-boxes ***** 2019 bump, just had 36 boxes returned to me that a distributor found.

Robotic Empire is extremely excited to announce pre-orders for a long requested re-issue! Isis' - Wavering Radiant 2x12" is now available to order in the Robotic Empire Online Store: Order Wavering Radiant HERE! Choose from Blue & White Splatter Colored Vinyl, Black & White Splatter Colored Vinyl, or Standard Black Vinyl. We expect the records to arrive mid January and they will ship out ASAP after arrival. Remember, if you are ordering other items along with the Wavering Radiant pre-order, those items will be held and will not ship until Wavering Radiant arrives to us. The music of Isis is a suitable metaphor for their 12-year career; patient, meticulous, fraught with tension and gradually building towards an apex of seismic proportions. Isis have successfully navigated the process of growing and evolving without disavowing their initial vision. Wavering Radiant finds every component of the Isis armoury coming into equal play and becoming an audiophile’s dream. Grandiose without being over-indulgent, epic without compromising focus.Wavering Radiant is the fifth and final full-length album by American post-metal group Isis, last released by Ipecac Recordings in 2009 and produced by Joe Barresi and recently remastered for vinyl by Mika Jussila. It stands as Isis' last full-length album, as the band split just over a year after its release. The album continues Isis' history of lengthy songwriting, yet presents a slight departure from the soft-loud dynamics and post-metal aesthetic which characterized previous releases.Reviewers noted a continued increase in melody from previous releases, and many were quick to note an increased prominence of keyboardist Bryant Clifford Meyer's work, using a Hammond B3 organ. In keeping with Isis' retinue of concept albums, a thematic strand runs throughout, dealing with dreams and Jungian psychology. Robotic Empire is thrilled to once again to supply this gatefold, double-LP vinyl edition of ISIS’ classic album on black and limited colored vinyl!

I'm taking a work trip to Austin in January and have one free afternoon/evening to pack in all my record shopping. I'm staying right on the Colorado river it looks like, so any recommendations for shops near there would be much appreciated! Thanks, friendly VC'ers.

I wonder if the limited to 200 pressed is true? If it was limited to that amount it would have sold out by now. I have a funny feeling they pressed more?

InterArma, Cobalt, Khemmis, Vektor... all very good.

Got mine today as well, looks like I got a few of the same ones as curator: Consumed - Breakfast 10" Snuff - Blue Gravy 10" Swingin' Utters - Sounds Wrong 10" Sundowner - Neon Strung Out - Prototypes Screeching Weasel - Bark Like A Dog and First World Manifesto Joey Cape's Bad Loud Vol. 1 Joey Cape - Doesn't Play Well With Others Bracket - Live in a Dive Tilt - Viewers Like You SFH - From The Dumpster Fluf - Road Rage Only Crime - To the Nines Dogpiss - Eine Kleine Old Man Markley - Down Side Against Me - God's Ears Avail - Front Porch Stories Fabulous Disaster - Put Out or Get Out Diesel Boy - Venus Envy Everything I've unsealed has been black so far. Was hoping for some Tony Sly/Nufan stuff but I can't complain. Got a couple awesome "not my fucking president" donald trump stickers as well. I'm down to trade if anyone is interested.

THAT is a great haul!

I wish! I'm playing a show on the same day down by where I live though so I can't make it. I'd rather go to the Holiday show honestly, but I booked my gig before they announced the date. I might sneak out of my show early and see Loone in Philly though - and I'm seeing Menzingers acoustic at Vintage Vinyl in February so it all works out in the end.

Deathwaltz just replied to someone on Twitter inquiring about FWWM, they said that it's getting announced early January, and then going on sale late January/early February. It's good to finally have a little bit of news on this.

Turntable Kitchen has been a great subscription for about 5 years now, this is the only subscription service in my mind that has been worth it month in and month out. Very excited for the new LPs there are doing. Now if I can just find that last 7" from the subscription that I need....

Anyone else get tickets for Sigur Ros? I'm beyond stoked. I've never seen them before.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter soundtrack is coming to vinyl in January through Milan. Say what you want about the movies, but the scores are always first rate. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MSYCZ7X/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1481649335&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=resident+evil+vinyl&dpPl=1&dpID=51pJ1FjP1vL&ref=plSrch

I think mine come from work stress, and my anxiety issues. I haven't been on meds for a few months because I don't like my doctor, but have not had time to go see a new one yet. Nice, enjoy. That OM30 is supposed to be the sweat spot in that line. $219 is not bad, esp. since those smaller styli last a lot longer before needing replaced. Congrats!

Yeah, over the years I've had quite a few packaged with random empty sleeves to try and protect the actual record.

Not that anyone is super invested but I got an offer today from a place im stoked on. I worked really, really hard to make this happen and I'm allowing myself to be pumped tonight.

Hah, that's pretty neat.

I'll echo the End of an Ear recommendations. The new shop is nice too! The exterior doesn't quite have the charm of the old one, but it's bigger. Waterloo is overpriced, I don't even bother going there when I'm in town now.

Bull Moose sent me the red version!! I'm so happy.

The Democrats blew a 3-1 lead

For example, on Gmail you can say your email is [email protected]. Popmarket will see it is a new email address, but Gmail sees it as an email that should go to [email protected] but that should be put in a [email protected] folder.

You're engaging the wrong person. WAXXX is pretty clear about the parameters of how and what he discusses. I'd describe it as a bit flippant and, at times, weirdly attacking of others' masculinity (the "crying" and "impress your girlfriend's kids" remarks are hyper-focused on challenging your manhood as a form of establishing authority in a conversation, which I think tells us that he views that as a sensitive spot or place of weakness to hit?). The "for the LOLs" stuff works for him and a few others as a way of killing time on the internet and instigating reactions for entertainment, but a back and forth conversation isn't going to stem from there. I think you'll need to keep the discussion going in person with non-anonymous individuals or through PMs with people who are at least willing to respect the dialogue as legitimate, even if they're disagreeing with you. There are opportunities for conversation online where your sincerity isn't immediately attacked as soft or weak or non-masculine.

After getting 'Lost Highway' OST on vinyl, this is the second one I need in terms of soundtrack of my youth. Fuck yeah!

Sorry, it's be a while, but here's the pics! As I said, the box was pretty damn big: Inside were 3 wrapped gifts.. one was pretty heavy: The heavy one was a daft punk boxset i'd been wanting for a while! Second was a couple records. One was one of my favorite albums FUNKADELIC!!! I hadn't heard of the other band but have been giving them a listen and I like what I hear! The last box was a rad Lego set fully equipped with moose! All in all, I loved the gift! Based on the clues that the note had has, my SS this year was: Green Tea Papi Thanks dude!

The art has grown on me. It looks like something that would have come out in 1992. I think the whole band name should have been done in soup letters. Go big or go home lol.

Grabbed an AT440MLA at the Audio-Technica warehouse sale.$160 for it, so not too bad.

Classic JAMC...I am buying this as soon as I possibly can.

god the vocals are bad on this. sounds like Fred Schneider. can't wait for the Rock Lobster cover.
