Spent the last couple days remodeling my office / record listening / storage area. Still a couple smaller things to do, like waiting for my 7" wooden boxes, new speakers and a couple more frames to arrive, but this is pretty much it. vis à vis:

Boy, who would have thought their sound would change over 22 years...

Arguing about variant collecting... on a vinyl site... and to think I've seen stranger things on this board...

We're on a website dedicated to buying music on huge ass wax discs. We all got problems. Also to note, sent a tweet to Lakeshore/Invada about that boxset and they told me they're still 'working on that'.

While I'm sure this record will be great, here's the really exciting news — through their new label, Cursive will be reissuing all of their records, starting with Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes and Storms Of Early Summer: Semantics Of Song, later this year. FINALLY, those first two albums will be back in print on vinyl!

Ordering without hearing the new track. Need everything Tim. Really curious about this new label. Feels weird not buying something like this from Saddle Creek.

Anyone who claims something I don't believe is only as credible as team of analytical reporters at a major news publication!!

Remember when he isn't even the president yet? Yes the economy has been doing good...its been improving for like 6 years straight now. Lets see how that trend goes for the next 4? But I am happy to see you post the economy is strong under Obama.

But you do give a shit or you wouldn't have commented.

its in 11minutes, you'll be fine

This was taken over the holidays. The collection is in the bedroom - away from our toddler's grasp.

thanks. will do.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Score Ken Burns’s ‘Vietnam War’ https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/arts/music/trent-reznor-atticus-ross-ken-burns-vietnam.html?_r=2

Cool... let's keep repressing stuff that I already have and leave Frankenstein Girls unpressed. sigh.

I know it's still a little early on in the day to call it, but I can say with adequate certainty that this is the least intelligent post I'll read on the boards today.

If you dont include all the other stuff its like 20 bucks a record. Considering it has many records that were never pressed and the cost of LPs these days its pretty fair. That accordian box probably cost like 15-20 to make alone.

unjust hype creates obsessive behavior in weaker individuals

i had the original version and sold it for literally $10 PPD. MSI is one band that I used to love, but just cant get into 15 years later.

New Thread Title

He give so little of a shit that it infuriates him and eats away at his very innards that some of us would be so naive as to think he actually gives a shit, so he continually monitors the board to make sure no one has mistakenly pointed out that perhaps he does give a shit, all the quicker to strike back and reiterate that he clearly could not give less of a shit.

Man you must be an amazing doctor, throwing around DSM diagnoses based on one picture of some plastic. I hope you win an award.

I don't have room to show the records too but nevertheless this is my collection of Isis records. I'm far from finished but these aren't that bad for almost a year's worth of collecting. From left row to right: Isis - Mosquito Control EP (1st press 'White' /100) Isis - The Red Sea (10th Anniversary Edition 'Clear / White Splatter w/ Translucent Red Speckles' /100) Isis - Celestial (2nd pressing 'Brown Swirl + Red Swirl' /250) Isis - Celestial (4th pressing 'Clear Yellow & Opaque Yellow Splatter / Red & Pink Splatter' /500) Isis - Wavering Radiant (Yellow / White Swirl) Isis - Oceanic (1st pressing 'Purple + Brown' /125) Isis - Oceanic ('Brine' /300) Isis - Oceanic ('Translucent Light Green' /200) Isis - Panopticon (5th pressing 'Black w/ Orange Splatter' /289) Isis - Panopticon (5th pressing 'Blue / Black Swirl' /209) Isis - Oceanic (1st pressing 'Black w/ Brown Marble' /6) Isis - Panopticon (1st pressing 'Clear + Black' /100 Isis - Panopticon (1st pressing 'Clear + Clear w/ Smoke' /75) Isis - Panopticon (1st pressing 'Black' /700)

It's a fucking BASS GUITAR AMPLIFIER. You can't trouble-shoot stupid.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man,

The Hot Topic thread truly is a never ending cycle.

it's a shame i missed out on the gold. however, i'm going to get the black matte version, copy it to a blank bathtub-white colored cassette of my choosing, slice my finger open with a knife, drip my own blood on the bathtub-white colored cassette copy that i just made and watch the blood dry while listening to the black matte version i purchased. then i'll have the coolest, most-limited version of this pressing.

Not sure why I can't add text to the above message. Anyway. Do I really have to give back my card when I plugging in a $2000 turntable and $1000 preamp into it? Actually, that might make it worse. Nevermind.

Same reason any of us collect anything. Because they exist and I can.

Super-solid, thanks again for making it!

Waterloo in Austin is having a listening party with free pizza Friday night! Of course I'm there.

New track is awesome.

hmm. feelings-based economics. is this what they are teaching in schools these days!?

@tvham It's custom made! Got a cheap white shelf at the hardware store, cut into the right dimensions, and a couple furniture feet from ikea. Cost less than $10! @JRHews Ugh, don't even get me started.. I'm living in a pre-war house and the floors are slanted beyond belief. I spent hours to level everything, but still mounted it all to the walls, to be sure. Also put loads of cardboard below the 4x4 to make sure it's not going anywhere..

Or they could just go ahead and press the Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead albums . . .

"analytical reporters" LOL

remember when trump-haters thought trump would crash the economy? the dollar is currently so strong, i'm buying vinyl from europe at lower rates than i ever imagined. not sure how long this will last, but carpe diem!

i already have the original, but this one has bonus tracks and shit. def need that frankenstein girls though.

+1 for the night vision!

But how?

I subscribed to New Japan World to see WK11 and New Year Dash live last week and I'm so happy I did that. Okada-Omega is legit the greatest match I've ever seen. I mean, it was so good, it clearly stood out among fantastic matches like Naito-Tanahashi, Shibata-Goto and Kushida-Takahashi. I have no idea how Okada and Omega are going to try to top that in their inevitable rematch. I'm actually scared they're gonna kill themselves. Regarding the Royal Rumble, this is probably the most unpredictable Rumble in years. I'd love to see Jericho win, although Balor or Joe would be just as good.

saw this the other night and LOVED it. well done, sir.

I'd argue that it's a trend in the way that vinyl is a trend. There's been a very active cassette scene for quite a long time and it's not really going away anymore than vinyl is. Quite a few artists I like do primarily CS releases and were doing so way before this recent boom. I won't argue that there are plenty of releases cashing in on the tape trend, but I wouldn't call this one of them.

Being a slave to the variant-game sucks but I know how that struggle works. In a similar situation I'd probably pass on the black and save that money for Discogs prowling, down the road. Not to downplay anyone's excitement, but its 2017 and I'm still going strong against the recent cassette trend. Really cool they're making this available, but a shame that it's exclusive to tape.

These are gonna go live 12am EST Friday 13. Spooky.

I think you severely overestimate the amount of money people are willing to pay to see Isis play live...

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

Aw yeah, I have a couple CD's and as far as vinyl goes Dare to be Stupid, Self titled, In 3-D and Madatory Fun. You know it If you want one I have a couple more...
