Looks like the repress is finally happening!

Loma Vista has the photobook edition by itself, $50: https://bodega.lomavistarecordings.com/products/a-black-mile-to-the-surface-vinyl-photobook

Out 8/25 Preorder: https://store.qotsa.com/collections/villains/products/villains

This has actually happened before, not quite to the extent of everything being a lie but ahead of Era Vulgaris they did actually feed the media a whole bunch of misinformation about the album including fake guest appearances just because they were tired of the predictable press cycle bullshit ahead of an album release. Regardless of what happens they've earned the right to have their albums be blind purchases with me and it'd probably take two or three utter stinkers of albums to see that change. Raw QOTSA = good Polished QOTSA = good

No need to be gross.

Just got the new album today. The first song "...Of Your Fake Dimensions" is a perfect opening song, really grabs you. Half-way through listening to it now and very happy with it.

Deluxe is $37.49 on the Matador site.

Thought Paracosm was alright, but not really digging this song. Sounds a little flat, and almost forced with the background noise overlay. What I liked about the last album was the lushness of the sound; not really getting that here.

I enjoyed Living Thing for what it was, but the two records after are very forgettable and can often be had for cheap.

The photo kinda shows it, but mine has a fair amount of gold. No chips, too! Gonna throw it on as soon as I'm done with what I'm listening to so I'll report back on the sound quality. Edit: Just finished disc 1 and I'm happy to report it sounds great.

Wasn't sure if this was posted anywhere, but there is another variant for The Fifth Element soundtrack up on TTL and Light In The Attic. Limited to 500. https://www.turntablelab.com/products/eric-serra-fifth-element-ttl-exclusive-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp

Just part of the "Crack Up" theme

Finally!!! Special 180 colored vinyl Collectors' edition: $45 Standard weight black vinyl: $35 http://kayodot.bigcartel.com/product/kayo-dot-choirs-of-the-eye-2xlp-pre-order I’m beyond stoked to announce that, after 14 years, Kayo Dot’s debut album, Choirs of the Eye, is finally being made available on vinyl for the first time! Thanks to consistent pressure and demand from fans, Choirs’ original label, Tzadik, has been kind enough to grant us permission to *self-release* a special edition of this masterpiece. The only way we can make this happen, therefore, is through pre-orders. Here are the details: • A 2xLP housed in a fancy reflective silver and black gatefold jacket, with an insert featuring *all the lyrics for the first time ever* in their official form, photos, charts from the original recording session, and any other visual artifacts from the original sessions that we can dig up. • Audio remastered specifically for vinyl, from the original masters, by Scott Hull at Masterdisk, who mastered the original CD release back in 2003. • Bonus material will be provided to everyone who pre-orders, including: - An unreleased outtake from the original recording session, in other words, an as-yet-unheard Choirs of the Eye studio skeleton (which will be delivered when the LP is delivered). We’re not sure yet what form this will take - maybe a high-resolution digital version that you can use as a stem in your own music, or maybe a cassette with other weird stuff on it? That’ll be determined by how well the pre-orders do. - The full multi-camera video of Kayo Dot’s performance of Choirs of the Eye at The Stone in August 2015 (which will be delivered as soon as you pre-order! - we'll be manually emailing out download codes for these, so please give us 24 hours to get it to you) • 250 copies will be available in a special collectors’ edition 180g black and silver/white swirl colored vinyl with a bit fancier textured cover, and the remainder will be available in standard weight black vinyl without the textured cover. • Edition of either 750 or 1000, depending on demand. Estimated turnaround time for all of this is roughly five months. That means we’re aiming to have everything shipped out in the beginning of December, to arrive in time for Christmas. Special 180 colored vinyl Collectors' edition: $45 Standard weight black vinyl: $35 Shipping: US Priority Mail = $12.75 for first unit, add $5. each additional unit Canada = $15. for first unit, add $10. each additional unit Worldwide International = $25. for first unit, add $10. each additional unit

Heck yes! ordered me up that Death Fortress, last album was real good. Also ordered the latest Mare Cognitum on purple wax been needing it for a while, and Mesarthim Pillars LP for $10 got thrown in too.

Where are the Ambient Music represses? I want those badly.

I'm with OP. Would love a copy with the peel and a variant would be cool too, but my copy was hella cheap. This is my favorite pre-70s album.

US matador: Standart - $20.99 Deluxe - $37.49 UK matador: Standart - £ 20 Deluxe - £ 25 L-O-L Listened to the track- for me It has worst sounding FUZZ in history of Queens. Blunt and not energy driven. Sad.

Same. That jacket is pretty damn awesome.

i can. they are just gonna be a K scribble.

I also finally got the media mail option. I had to create a new account with a different email because my password wasn't working and when I tried to recover with would send me an email saying, "Your new password is:" with nothing. Anyway, for those having trouble you may need to sign in first before adding anything to your cart or create a new account. I just want a chance to win that "Golden Ticket".

I see Ole Sourpuss has finally gotten around to repressing these things

matador's site is too fucked up.. now I don't see any shipping options.. Fuck this I'm going BM or amazon

Got media mail at Matador on the Delux but man did the checkout suck. 25 minutes refreshing.

They said from the get-go there wouldn't be any guests. I suppose there could be surprises but we'll see.

This new single is awesome. I'm absolutely sure some people will hate it but if they want to do a dance record I'm all for it. Which is weird because I think the new DFA1979 is garbage for the same reason.

That price and then adding insult with Priority only. Geez.

Probably

Fifth element obi.

Yeah I can't get it. I may just hold off -- I'm hoping BM will have both the deluxe and Indie up soon.

https://boomkat.com/products/memories-live-longer-than-dreams-53b6fde9-7537-4d71-b986-255ce31cdd87 part 3 is up

Well, that's lame. Sorry.

They dont do pre orders so you have to wait until its released to order, but juno.co.uk has this for about 22 and some change, their shipping to Canada is like 7 or 8 dollars, same as to US. Highly recommended site, never had issues with them. http://www.juno.co.uk/products/peter-bjorn-john-writers-block-reissue/652262-01/

Mondo are releasing the soundtrack to Magnolia this year! So excited for this!

..ordered the /250, now I'm broke, but happy.

Went to the one near my work and walked out with the last RTJ3. Such a steal. Thanks for the heads up. Also checked out HMV's vinyl sale and whilst online stock is low many of the titles that are on their sale page are readily available in store. Saw tonnes of Jeff Buckley. They also had an abundance of My Chemical Romance marked down from £20 to £12 and more copies of Linkin Park's - Hybrid Theory than you could shake a stick at for £9.99. Not my bag but I suppose if you were going to make a nostalgia driven purchase at least those price points don't sting.

New Lluvia and Death Fortress are up now at Fallen Empire: http://store.fallenempirerecords.com/

When I say Pop, I mean contrived, overproduced and built to sound like everything else in top 40 within reason as it applies to the base genre. QOTSA were never that. Even with some of their more accessible hits, they still felt like themselves. I don't like where the clip sounds like the song is going but I'll reserve final judgement for after I hear the full album. It just doesn't bode well. I understand that "Pop" has a few different meanings to different people. I used it like a four letter word to indicate the aforementioned traits. There is plenty of music I like that happens to qualify as "Pop" by traditional standards but I'm never going to say to people that I like "Pop" music. I like music that could qualify as "Pop" depending on how much different and obscure music one is aware of. Pop is usually bad in my personal opinion, especially if you have music that you solely regard as pop and especially for the past 20 years or so. I just prefer music that comes from musicians who can not only perform, but also write their own original music. I don't like music that sounds like it was Frankensteined based on market research and pre-packaged to be put in a Target commercial. I've gotten to the point in my life where I can hear that shit a mile away and when I hear traits like that creeping into the body of work of bands that I respect for having a unique flavor all their own, I get miffed. All I'm saying is something sort of stinks in this situation so far but its definitely a little too early to tell and I'll have to wait and find out how bad they may have been infected until I hear the whole thing or even just a full single at this point. Again, I could be wrong but "Pop" is still a bad word in my context.

Lullabies. I like a few songs on EV but I rarely ever play it. It doesn't have to be desert rock but with JT on the drums you might as well do some bombastic prog rock shit. If they could have taken the tonality of "My God Is The Sun" and based an album on that type of rocking and complexity, that would be good. I wouldn't call that "desert" necessarily but I'm not interested in this band going full Pop. There are a million ways they could go. I'm just shocked its this direction. I could be totally off and there might be mostly killer shit on this album but when you consider the producer and the comments it feels like we're just going to get an upbeat Maroon 5esque Pop/Rock album. Emphasis on the Pop. I hope I'm proven wrong. That clip reminds me more of "Moves Like Jagger" than anything from TCV or QOTSA.

Really wish Cuphead was coming to PS4. LP set looks awesome though.

This is definitely going to be one of my favorite albums of the year.

Yeah I checked that session as suggested. So good indeed.

you're always annoyed when you don't get black vinyl, we get it.

nothing crazy, but my brother gave me a bottle of Maker's cask strength for my birthday. I've actually never had any. I won't get to try it until next week sometime though (blood pressure medication ran out before I could get in to a new doctor, so I'm being real kind to my body in the mean time)

Discovered this at my local liquor megamart today... I have enjoyed the Redemption High Rye several times at $27-30 a bottle. This is a 9 year aged, premium product at $81.99 on the shelf. I told my wife to add it to my birthday/Christmas list.

I got a bottle of lagavulin 16 for festival from my in laws and really enjoy it. ron swanson would be very upset with you...

I finished the cabinet I was working on. Cost under $200 and should hold about 700 albums or so. I'm just really proud of the top. Too bad you can't see too much of it. Next step is getting a separate amp for the record set up. Feels good to design and build it myself instead of going to IKEA or paying an arm and a leg for a piece of furniture. It's a nice median between the two.

your list is absolutely insane. Seriously.
