Why guilty pleasures? They're stellar albums, especially Parachutes.

My alter ego is likely responsible for the deep shame you're feeling. But fear not, for I too am gay for Parachutes and Rush Of Blood.

Parachutes, front to back, is excellent, the other two less so but I enjoy songs off of each. I don't know, they have a bit of a negative connotation and they really fell off later in their careers. Something being a guilty pleasure doesn't make it bad, I just probably wouldn't admit to most people that I enjoy Coldplay. Probably my own hang up more than anything else.

I will shut this thread down as retaliation for Rick and Morty being ruined by the very vocal minority of "screaming at McDonald's employees" fans.

But just like a poster saying "raped my wallet" or whatever, these guys got called out. It's just that they are now being called out again long after they apologized and changed. They didn't dig their heels in and lash out. They listened, took it to heart, and stopped doing that shit. The comparison doesn't work.

I put X&Y as the lowest of the first four albums because I think it has some filler on it while the other three really don't

I dont recall seeing any information regarding this, but I randomly checked Erased Tapes and they now have non box-set black copies of 1+1=X for 30 pounds. Going to see if my local shop can snag me one. Also new Michael Price! https://www.erasedtapes.com/release/eratp112-michael-price-tender-symmetry

Y'all are sleeping on Viva La Vida...ffs Brian Eno produced it

Everything up until Turn Gold was pretty solid. I’m Rich Beyond You’re Wildest Dreams is a fucking stellar record.

You know what they say..."don't own record stores."

Looking for a copy of Every Time I Die's The Big Dirty. Don't care which variant it is. Just want a copy. Open to trades. Hit me up. https://www.discogs.com/user/mattphotographs/collection Thanks.

Heads up to anyone who appreciates these guys' early work, Barnes & Noble has a limited white pressing online and in stores. Parlophone pressing and it sounds fantastic (listening as I type this). 2 years ago they did Parachutes on orange, it's now $150+ on the secondhand market, I'm glad I grabbed it when I did so grab this one before it's gone and on ebay. The store by me only had 1 in stock. https://m.barnesandnoble.com/w/rush-of-blood-to-the-head-coldplay/6587669?ean=0190295649852 Update: I have actually now tried two copies of this to verify it's a pressing defect, and indeed, both have a loud scratch sound in the left channel at the beginning of Daylight, and two on Warning Sign as well, one at the beginning and one towards the end. Overall the sound is very very nice, but there are those small defects. At the time of writing this post I was still on side A which has no problems. I'm still keeping one, but if anyone wants the 2nd, PM me and I'll sell to you at cost ($22 + $4 for media mail shipping). If I bring it back to the store I'm not sure what they do with it. It's still worth someone having and playing it for sure.

Hello, This is a waste of everyone's time, but I'd just like to express a desire to purchase absolutely everything I didn't act on/didn't have the money for at their pre-boom prices. All the poor sad records that have $200+ markups and are on ebay being displayed with the grooves smashed onto someone's gross carpet or grease-filthy kitchen stove. I don't want to flip them. I don't want to use them as credibility badges, because the few people I talk to are already steeped in the storied history of how desperately I want to feel like I belong to a special era of music. I just want to hoard them lovingly in my collection and play them as tickets to a place out of my existence. I want to admire their lovely variations and hues and blare them. That is all. So yeah, sell me a You Fail Me with a screenprinted cover for $30. Drop me a green BDM ritual for $15ppd. Thanks and yabba dabba doo.

Nice... You keep posted good ones here.

I just got the LP today and had the download on bandcamp (still private).

Thinking of the regular /r/Vaporwave sub perhaps? /r/VaporVinyl has a really supportive and active community...

If you ordered the black vinyl from Bullmoose like 2 weeks ago (like I did), a quick Twitter DM to them and they'll change it to the loser version.

It's just kinda weird to be mad about someone calling that out like a week later. I think it just shows a certain level of stupidity that's easily exploitable for the lulz when people use those terms like rape that way. Pretty easy to see that theory in action when I called him retarded too. So heroic.

That's like...commentary on life, bro But yeah, I almost never finish ToT as much as I like it.

My point is "the mob" already reacted and it worked. Now years later a different mob is dredging it back up. They aren't offended, they are using this as a political tactic.

Looks like I just caught them while they took him down to add the new release. He's listed as a current artist now.

Just giving props to djghost for helping me complete my 1st pressing set with the tour variant!

Stoked

Already filed a PayPal dispute. They didn't respond to any of my emails so screw it. That's what I get for trying to save $2 when I should've just got the record from Amoeba.

I was there too! small world

My favorite gig ever I think.

Im with you on that. I think he is the type he has a hard time deciding what to get rid of so he just rips the band aid off and does it all at once. He really goes down the rabbit hole too (one collection he sold off had everyrhing Tom Waits including singles, bootlegs, etc.) like 80 pieces later he realized he didnt need that at all and sold all but his favorite waits record. I have never been a variant collector at all but im starting to feel i dont need every record from a band minus a very select few.

BSM and a handful of domestic labels have been doing that for a while now - agreed it's a great feature!

Add me to the “house-lip-art” lover list. I’d rather kiss that one than half a face.

Yaaay... finally. I was wondering when something new is coming out. Ordered the 2xLP from MerchNow (always cheap shipping to EU) and the single from Merge. A good start into the day...

Where to start with this one? The photos? “R & B”? “This desc is region 1”? https://m.ebay.com/itm/New-New-Constellation-Toad-The-Wet-Sprocket-R-B-Vinyl/252945910305?epid=181990468&hash=item3ae4c04a21%3Ag%3AKWwAAOSw75xa9MT9&_sacat=176985&_nkw=toad+the+wet+sprocket&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l2632.R3.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xtoad+the.TRS0

Fuck it. I’ve been wanting to pick this (and for that matter—X&Y) for a couple of years now. Your post has convinced me to snag this Cheers.

I saw Casey (their old drummer) post about it on Instagram. Now I totally regret not seeing them play earlier this year when they opened up for The Darkness. They are ridiculously great energetic live band. I'm pretty sure the name factored into their lack of world domination but if people could looked past the name, they would have been so much bigger.

I like how you had Prince sign it. Very unique.

I’m hoping Mondo or Sacred Bones issues the score for the new movie this fall too. Glad Carpenter is back for it.

Highly disagree, they’ve definitely quieted down over the years and a recurring theme is people yelling at them to go louder. I’ve always loved their live sound. Nicky gets drowned out but that’s not what I go for anyway. But maybe different venues different sounds.

Bring on the dirty

[Whatever the next brain would be] Never listening to the album and flipping your variant for a cool $5 profit

I stopped crate digging at thrift stores altogether. Just end up with dirty hands, sneezing, and spending money on beat up albums I'll probably never even listen to that are gonna take up precious shelf space. In fact, I've moved all my older second hand records into their own bastardized crate adjecent to my shelves. The island of misfit LPs, if you would.

Man, I wish I didn’t suck at finding leaks

We don’t tolerate transphobic racism on this board sir.

Let's GO. Full Talons stream: https://www.clashmusic.com/news/album-stream-talons-we-all-know

Damn so much roadrunner presses happening lately. Probably alone on this one but I'm waiting for them to press some Spineshank

Cut myself on this post

It will be interesting to see how complete this really is, but it'll be great to have on vinyl regardless. Still, it would be special to get some of the unreleased cues from that film.

first time on vinyl via Hopeless Records Places love using the 'first time on vinyl' phrase any way they can.

Just came to post my latest experience with SSD. Ordered the Petty Live Anthology when it was claimed to be warehouse find, cancelled when I found out everywhere had it and some with cheaper price....have been waiting almost a month for a refund. Emails unanswered, calls unreturned. Have a paypal case open that hasn't been replied to.

Really bummed to read today that these guys are breaking up. Final two shows in Nashville on 9/7 and 9/8. This sucks.
