Y'all are dumb they add a new variant because of high demand and make it a different color while pressing more making it less rare and you still complain. If a label is charging $21 shipped for their LPs hop the fuck off of them!

nah.

Museum of science is cool. Maybe bring them to see the blue man group at Charles playhouse.

@Tommy @The Ghost of Randy Savage BROTHERS IN LIBERTY!

I almost always do when it comes to politics.

no one is looking forward to a $99.99 brand new record. not a single fucking person. gtfo.

It's hard enough for smaller labels to make money off of vinyl these days. If more color gimmicks work then bring them on. More money for the band/label, more options for the consumer.

I don't think it's about the label misreading the demand for this album. I think it just might be smart business. I wouldn't fault Saddle Creek at all if they took a look at what Painted Shut was selling for on Discogs and said, "You know what, why shouldn't we be the ones making money off of our own releases". For those saying "it should be about the music", I agree. However, to act like some people didn't pull the trigger on this solely because of the value of Painted Shut is absurd. Bottom line, good for the label and the band. They should be the ones benefiting off the album, not the secondary market.

I really don't have anything meaningful to contribute here but I can say for certain that I agree with most everything Shitty Rambo has been contributing to this thread.

My guess is they saw that 200-300 people bought the 500 copies and wanted more people/fans to get in on the color train. Good job to them for changing the color and noting it as a 'second press' instead of adding more copies or advertising a new third 'first pressing' variant.

Also a brown guy. I think liberalism and the left and whatever else you want to call that 'side' deserves a ton of pushback and scrutiny, even when it's uncomfortable or confrontational. But I disagree that said push back should be delivered in the form of playing devil's advocate for groups that promote hate or racist ideals or even attitudes that are less sinister/intentional but built on the framework of racist ideals. I'd love to see young, frustrated males on the internet tear Democrats apart for benefitting from corruption and economic inequality while pretending to care about everyone and bring about change in that area. It's a bummer when that passion and frustration is channeled into fighting peers who advocate for minority groups and communities and to perpetuating the idea that empathy is a weakness and flippancy and a lack of empathy is an intellectual strength. Making it safer to be outspokenly racist or rude and safer to perpetuate less overt racist/rude ideas without any challenge will definitely disrupt and frustrate your peers, such as fellow VCers, but it will also lead to a lower quality of life for disadvantaged groups and do absolutely no harm to the people at the top who are truly benefitting from our current system. That said, this is the internet and we are males, so fighting and dick-measuring is going to happen but I hope, at some point, we can find similarities and aim our toxic venom upward at the corrupt instead of at each other all the time.

Shout out to the person that said "Do your own research you clown" in the notes section All I have is my own experience with selling used records. How else would I do this research without the help of others? Trolls gotta troll I guess... Oh and to anyone that does want to BS and troll the survey I can just delete your submission with one click. Yawn

we fixed that! expect an email from the store if you haven't yet. we're actually doing two different pressings, same plates but our split variant is limited to 300 and has dine alone logos on the jacket, labels, etc.

I'm down for whatever. I would suggest 15 people @ $20 each. So basically $10 per rumble. Each match is winner takes home $150.

Can a brown guy chime in? Unpopular opinion: I don't think being racist is the worst thing a person could ever be (I.E. a rapist or murderer is significantly worse). I also don't think people exercising their freedom of association makes them inheritly evil. People tend to gather with other people who look like them, and making a law that insists they need to interact with other people isn't going to curb any ill will they may have towards individuals of different ethnicites. I also have absolutely no problem with someone using their "privilege" to their advantage, inherited or not we're all different people with completely different backgrounds and situations. Some people's lives suck a lot more than others. A poor family on welfare in the US still lives significantly better than a poor family in Sudan does. You can be white and poor, in fact in '07 PBS put out a study that said 41% of the homeless population is white, with the second highest being African Americans at 40%. Since I'm talking statistics, it's worth mentioning that Asian people in American are far better off than most white people (they excel in wealth, education, and even live longer). Does that make them racist? I don't think so (or really care). And yes, you can absolutely be racist towards white people. Demeaning any individual because of the color of their skin is what racism is. You can't just change the definition of a word to fit your agenda. If this level playing field you guys speak of based on the idea that the state should forcibly acquire another individual's property to disperse amongst people who have less then that's terrible. You're advocating for theft via the threat of violence against peaceful individuals. If the level playing field is that everyone in America has the same individual rights and their own personal actions determine what their quality of life will be, then I would agree and also argue that playing field is already in effect. The things that set this off balance are usually products of the state, like The War on Drugs, artifical prices on labor, housing, low incentives for high skilled workers to enter public services like education, etc. You guys really should stop pointing the finger at your neighbor who has little to no power over any of this and start questioning your goverment. If the Puerto Rican guy across the street doesn't like Asian people that's not going to effect anyone's life, but a cop throwing a black or brown man in a cage and taking him away from his family because he had too much of a plant they didn't want him to have drastically impacts his and his family member's lives.

Everyone that records concerts and/or firework shows should be required by law to re-watch their video(s) every day for the following six months. Some lady in front of me at Lolla last summer brought out a fucking laptop.

Love it when labels do free shipping

I hope to someday grow up and become as intelligent and mature as you seem to be. I want to see everything very clearly, as only you can teach us. Also, I'd rather be called a "libtard" or "snowflake" rather than powder puff. It's what all of the other grown up people call us.

Represses are up! Red, blue and orange variants https://profoundlorerecords.merchtable.com/music/bell-witch-mirror-reaper-2xlp-repress/?no_redirect=true

I love how conservative snowflakes cry and moan over everything changing yet someone wanting equal footing in life is a pussy. This exactly. As someone from a populated city I've noticed racism truly doesn't exist in rural/mountain areas devoid of PoC that's why it's such a non issue to them though /s Seriously though my sister is half black and I'm as white as you get the things I hear when I take her places would seriously confuse some of you that don't see color. Keep on with your ostrich mentality though.

You don't understand what racism is and that's ok. "I don't notice skin color!" and "What about when black people kill white people that doesn't make the news!" not only contradict each other, but work to try to erase the struggle of people of color. Historically and in present time. Which is a product of racism. Racism isn't just someone burning a cross or yelling "I hate [racial slur]s!" Racism is systematic. It's deeply ingrained in our society and assholes like you are part of the problem.

Nah man, the reason that "I don't even see skin color" is bullshit is not because it's inherently racist of the individual to have that stance, it's because it's willful ignorance. Racism exists, it creates an unfair power and privilege dynamic, and reasonable people don't just try not to be racist themselves but they also try to counterbalance that racism. It's not about fighting other people's battles, just SEEING skin color and realizing that there are things you can do to help the situation. It's great you're not racist, if you don't notice/see/believe that other people are and that it impacts those they look down on negatively then you're an asshole.

i have to say the vinylcollective posting career of user @puttheneedleontherecord is starting out on the right foot

Four entrants so far. Will PM and collect once we hit 15. TheWindBlower njpunkmusic somethingvinyl scottheisel kcblackrob marc32137

I would also pay $20 for a spot in each Rumble.

Quite welcome. As far as Fenway Park goes, the place is not cheap and not all the tickets have good sight lines. There are columns in the way and when the ticket said obstructed view, they mean it. The outfield is probably the cheapest area, but Fenway is one the most expensive tickets in MLB. The concessions are the most expensive in the league. Also, if you plan to go in April, the weather is very unpredictable in New England at that time of year, so be prepared for anything, as best you can anyway, when on vaca. It's quite capable of still being pretty chilly then. That all said, it's a great old park and one everyone that likes baseball should visit.

Awesome. Duck boats were already on the list but swan boat and the coil sounds great thanks

Is he a famous golfer?

The swan boats in Boston Common are fun with the kiddos, as is the duck boats tours. The duck boats tours start right near the museum of science, which is also worth checking out, if for no other reason than they have a giant Tesla coil there. Need more info, feel free to ask. I don't live there, but know the town well.

test pressings for the VC variant are currently en route. If you are one of the few who snagged one of the TP’s and would like it shipped before the final album, please shoot me a pm. thanks!

The shake should be posting some goodies either tomorrow or Thursday.

In case anyone wants just the limited blue vinyl, here's a link to that item. https://kingsroadmerch.com/the-aquabats/view/?id=13229

Filled one out.

how do you know that? that's so frustrating! you should do both. you should stand up to your neighbors and talk with them about racism/bigotry AND question your governments policies and actions (be it local, state, federal). You can/should be doing both! why does it have to be one and not the other?

Nobody is saying apologize for what you were blessed with it's just fucked to ignore your blessings when judging others and passing laws that affect them. The rural and urban areas of this country are far too different from each other to be run under the same set of rules imo anyways. Same shit with white people thinking they're being punished for being white or guilted for being white and the war on Christmas and kneeling for the national anthem... sheep mentality one person heard it from someone else so it's gotta be true fall in line. Social conformity is also the main thing that makes it an us vs. them two party system where you take L' s to the jugular to help your team win. Imagine if Republicans and Libertarians voted for their actual beliefs and interests instead of compromising with each other to form the same team. They won't though because Dems and Socialists shot themselves in the foot not uniting for the person that had a better chance to help their quasi team win. USA USA USA

Posting here along in the tattoo thread. Got this done yesterday!

Yo. So @knifeparty normally puts the Rumble pool together. Looks like he hasn't signed in in a few months. I'm totally willing to put it together this year, if the interest is there. I believe that we normally do a $15 buy in for 2 spots in the 30-man rumble. Do we wanna do $20 total for 2 spots in both the men's and women's Rumble this year? Or keep it at $15 for each Rumble, so $30 total? We normally only drum up about 15 participants, so that's why I'm guessing 2 spots for each Rumble. We'll follow the classic rules. Every participant gets 1 spot in entrants 1-15 and 1 spot in entrants 16-30. It will be randomized, of course. Winner take all. One winner for men's and one winner for women's. What do we think?

So ready for this!

Nice!

One of my favorite albums... Love Potion - XXX

According to Instagram, this is limited to 500. If you're on the fence, you won't be much longer.

All 3 of the Dark Souls soundtracks are up on ThinkGeek for $20.99 each. Was hoping to find a code for free shipping or something, but decided to just say fuck it. Too good of a deal to pass up.

"I worked hard to have two loving parents support me my whole life while I was able to concentrate on my bootstraps and build my business they started with no other worries." Isn't it crazy how people blessed with this life can look down on others as if they've done something difficult or impressive? Lmao

Don't forget "What about racism against white people?!"

Waiting on the following arguments from @vinyl addict: -My best friend/coworker/manicurist/frogsitter is black -What about all of the non-white people who are violent and addicted to drugs -How come liberal media only reports on racism and not on rich white guys like me who don't see skin colour? -It's not fair that all of you libtards are ganging up on me. I need a safe space -I really fucking love Kid Rock, literally the only musician who agrees with me on anything. -I'm one of those people who believes that every Muslim including Obama is out to kill us because Alex Jones told me so. -Shut up, that's why.

Can't wait to see what this 'Exploded Edition' is all about! Hope it's got a cool splatter vinyl to go with that name.

Then leave.

Kind of glad the Loser Edition is on black, it keeps with the trend of all the black Swami releases in my collection. As happy as I am to have this band back together, I would still love a little more touring from Drive Like Jehu, at the very least.

Just found out about Clouds Taste Satanic. Good shit!
