Make this: but sell it for $300 instead of $3000. And also be based in the USA

I've always dreamed of a Kallax-like shelf, but with the records facing cover out in some type of crate that slides out on brackets so you fan flip through the album covers and slide it back in if that makes sense. The brackets would have to be super heavy duty. That would be awesome.

Last August we sold our house. Built a new house, finished it in October. Then decided to finish the basement myself. Been without records and audio for 10 months. About 3 weeks ago I finished the basement enough to start moving stuff in. It's a work in progress with still more stuff yet to come from the framers.

Mine, too

Received my copy today. The signature looks like the pen was running dry. Considering this is a collector's piece and how long I waited for it, I'm gonna send them an email to get another signature with a new Sharpie. Kidding. Really happy I didn't sleep on purchasing this.

Back in my day you preorded a Converge record without knowing which variant you got or what the variants even were. I doubt it'll be a full album pre-order. A full album announcement with the singles, probably. A 7" with those singles to go with the announcement, maybe.

OK! WE have some winners! Yes plural! I decided that since you guys are so great, that I'd double the test presses for this giveaway. I assigned each entrant a number and then used https://www.random.org/ to pick. Winners of the reject test presses: @highfives & @EquinoxDesignLab PM me for details on how to redeem! Thanks again all! Tell your friends!

A "Kallax" type shelf that has a "thinner" outline to accommodate more records when the units are placed next to, and on top of each other....BUT a stronger outline than an Expedit....AND some type of "sliding door" on the front that will conceal all the records inside, and keep the spines from being scratched up by the cats.... That would be my "dream" record shelf.

Wow...I never expected this much feedback! I don't have any specific concerns with my records. After listening to everyone, I feel comfortable about how they are stored now. As for the value, it's all relative. I have about a dozen pieces that are worth north of $300. For some, that is pretty minimal, for me, that's pretty high. Specifically, here are some things that I was thinking about when I made the first post: Ramones - Leave Home (test pressing) Misfits - Horror Business Warzone - Lower East Side EP (1st pressing) AFI - Sing the Sorrow Zombies - Odessey And Oracle (original pressing)

Good catch. Looks like the blue pressing is /500.

Looks like The Sound Of Vinyl has blue copies available... SOLD OUT

I've vowed to stop buying 7"s. I've done well for the last 2 years. But...Converge. Ordered the red

Well, I looked at it wrong to be honest with ya. I kind of figured in my head that the record player had a spot to be there, not just put there for the photo. So yes, now that makes more sense. It doesn't fit into the room I've got going on right now though. Anything like that would block the vents. I've got a 1950's antique case with the turntable on the top and we're also getting stackable modular cases. That would be my suggestion to the OP, make your stuff expandable. I love my antique case, but it's too small. It's been full for months and months.

@batman @BuzzersonKillwell Just got back from our VT trip. We weren't able to get outside of Waitsfield after our hike but was able to get my hands on some Sip of Sunshine, Heady Topper, Maine Beer Co - MO and Rock Art's Limited Access at the Village Grocery in town. I grabbed a pint of Hill Farmstead's Edward at Mad Taco and it blew me away. Such a superb APA! Also had Fiddlehead's Second Fiddle DIPA and Drop-In's Heart of Lothian Scottish Brown Ale during dinner at Fire & Ice in Middlebury before we started our hike. Both were really tasty. I was a bit surprised with Heart of Lothian, as it didn't seem to get much love in ratings, etc. Was super fresh/drinkable and had awesome flavor. Thanks for all of the insight and recommendations. Definitely looking forward to getting back up to VT/Maine again next year.

Preorders always go live at 1am eastern , emails around 10am Should be /500

Super good, super intense...

Dang! Someday I'll win something. Thanks for the fun contest though. Got the sunburst, so it's all good.

Who?

You might have some trouble fitting 12" records inside that 7" sleeve. But that's what she said.

Random bump. But I've been listening to a lot of Lil Peep, $uicideboy$, GHOSTEMANE, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, LIL UGLY MANE, XXXTENTACION, and Ski Mask The Slump God. Kind of a random combination I know, and I also know that a couple are laughable, but oh well. Enjoying the hell out of all of them right now,

There's a lot of good music coming out these days. I feel like ever since Odd Future came out and did their own thing in 2011/2012- more and more people are doing what they want to do with a lot of alt-rock, emo, and metal influences. I've been listening to a lot of Ghostemane, $uicideboy$, and nothing, nowhere. Starting to get into Lil Peep as of recent. What are some of your favorite artists right now? I want to find some new people to listen to. Here are some tracks by them: GHOSTEMANE x Clams Casino - KALI YUGA $UICIDEBOY$ - NEW CHAINS, SAME SHACKLES nothing, nowhere. - i've been doing well lil peep x lil tracy - white wine

I've been listening to these guys. They have a blackgaze thing going on. I guess there is another band also named Weltschmerz. I don't even know how I stumbled across them. No vinyl yet, but name your price on Bandcamp. https://weltschmerzband.bandcamp.com/album/static-in-the-presence-of-intrusive-consciousness

have you tried your local dump? might be easiest to unload these there.

Awesome, thanks man!

Did you ever get a new table?

Anyone calling any of their records "pretty valuable pieces" always gives me a laugh when I hear what they are. That box above is neat and gets the job done but it's ugly as fuck lol

That's awesome! Love me some Edward and MO. Maine Beer Co. is fantastic. I'm up near Boston for the week. Had some Trillium DDH Scaled & Launch Beer and Hill Farmstead Society and Solitude.

LOL Bud, what if I told you you can write bad songs about things that mean a lot to you. You've never heard a song about a super personal/meaningful topic that sucked ass? This sounds like the last 10 years of CCM Mom Rock distilled into 1 song:

My wallet is glad it's only a 7" haha nerd that long sleeve shirt tho

Ordered the DW exclusive with the quickness. Love that it's a red. Feels like it's a balance to the blue hues of the cover art.

New album out later in 2017.

7" up at deathwish. https://deathwishinc.com/collections/converge/products/converge-i-can-tell-you-about-pain-b-w-eve

Hallo. A dane here. I don't live in Copenhagen, but I've been there a lot of times. As mentioned above then Route 66 is definitely worth a visit. You should definitely also visit Christiania when you're here. There is also dinner place which called spiseloppen as far I recall, they should have some vegan food for sure. Copenhagen Street Food is definitely also worth a visit. They have their own website, where you can read more about it If you're interesting in going for a concert while here then Vega is a nice place to visit. If you want to do some tourist stuff in CPH then I would recommend to go to Nyhavn. Lovely place where you easily can get something to drink and eat. There should also be some canal tours nearby nyhavn. It's a good way to see Copenhagen and the canal tours are not that expensive, you can check that out here http://www.havnerundfart.dk/canaltours/index.php?page=forside.php I've been in Stockholm a few times as well, but I don't know that much about Stockholm compared to CPH. Anyways, in Stockholm be sure to visit Gamla Stan. There is a record store in Gamla Stan called Plugged Records which is worth a visit, and there is definitely a few good places to eat and drink there as well. Also general advice. None of these countries use euro as currency. For the scandinavian countries, if you're out late at night there might not be any busses or trains going to your hotel, be sure to check the schedules. In denmark we got an app and webpage called rejseplanen. It's so easy to use and very handy if you want to use public transportation.

I got an email as well. I bough the cassette version and the email stated that since it took so long, they were throwing in an additional cassette of new/unreleased HKE material. The wait has certainly been ridiculous though.

Glad youre having a good time so far!

Currently cranking and playing the shit out of these Zelooperz tracks. Bulletproof Dophin production is on top. Also, i'm working on some beats and stuff using Maschine... anyone else here do that and interested in a thread on the topic? PEACE.

Holy shit yeah! Thanks Eric!

If by chance you have T-Mobile for your regular cell service, you are all set and don't need to get any other service while in Europe. They are a German company and it's quite a good perk for using their service. Goes without saying I suppose but the ladies in these three countries are most easy on the eyes, so brace yourself to be overwhelmed. It's really something else.

NPR posted this today:

And boy is it killer!

This is a joke, right?

I dig Ghostmane's music a bit, but I don't really like his vocal style/sound. I've tried multiple times. $uicideboy$ on the other hand I really like. Always look forward to Ruby's verses.

They've never done variants before, I'm guessing they won't do it this time either.

Snagged them both on their website already but here's the MN link for anyone who still needs to try and get one. http://hopelessrecords.merchnow.com/products/v2/256553/louder-now-gold

I'm just waiting for mumble rapping to end.

To be quite honest, there were two years in a row where I think I bought literally every record, and you guys probably had my address/email cued up to memory. However late last year, and early this year, several of the records I bought just didn't catch me the same way all those previous did, and was a little disappointing with some of the hype on them to only be let down, so I kind of stopped keeping up with the label for a little while. I have no doubt that you guys vet all the releases you offer with the the utmost seriousness, and truly believe that they will be hits. Many dont become so because of their following, and like you said, a lot of your emo releases of the past carried these crowds over to similar releases, so these new ones get kind of lost on them/us. As I said, I haven't kept up in a while, so Ill have to stream a few of the new ones to see how they win me over, but current it's not a must-sub for me. Now if you were to say new releases by Prawn, Joie de Vivre, Caravels, Crash of Rhinos ect were coming down the pipe this coming year....well.../drool :0 Must love and respect guys! I'm sure thier will be some quality albums next year I will grab for sure.
