Definitely whatever you are

Yup, the variant is pretty fucking rad.

Leagues above the black for sure.

I was outside of a Dino Jr show last fall and saw J walking down the street. I said hi to him and he said "Hey". I thought that was a pretty good conversation.

John Carpenter's score to Halloween (2018) on Indies orange vinyl: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/27808749/halloween-2018-halloween-2018-pumpkin-orange-vinyl-john-carpenter-indie-exclusive It's a SB release so I'll wait to see if they have some type of exclusive...

duophonic is finally reissuing stereolab releases? today is a good day.

WEW lad that's a bad song. I'll just keep pretending it's 2006 whenever I get my Saves the Day urge.

Looks like the variant(s?) are going to be blue/green. Not sure if that's one variant, two variants, a swirl, splatter, or split or what. But that's the word I heard.

I hate people who haven't been into a band since their first album was released and then they get into them and all of a sudden they think they're legit fans. Stupid bandwagoners!!!!

I know I’m not the only person who’s listened to this song nonstop already. Will update when the official drop happens. https://mewithoutyou.com/password Quantities Left from Webstore Only.

https://www.flight13.com/samiam-clumsy-silver-edition/128862 Title pre-orderable, estimated delivery date is August 17th, 2018 Exclusive to us, limited to 125 copies including revised artwork by Sergie! Hard to believe, but true! The things are actually on the way to us. Sorry for the long wait! Re-issue of the '94 classic (then on sire), with the new, somewhat poppier ways were taken. An absolute milestone that is rightly considered one of the best albums of the 90s. Here's the goose bump hits "stepson" and "capsized". Burn the House down when he's gone ... * No Idea.

Yeah, exactly. Works for me. One of my favorite songs of the last decade, pop, metal, or otherwise. My eyes get all sweaty when I hear it. Favorites: 10k yrs, Fireface, Thraft, Hessian, Silverback, Fury Whip (but it taste so fresh), Mad=Architect, THE FLAGONIST

*smooch*

We old.

I feel like there will probably be more of these available and that it is not actually limited to /100 it is just that the Ataris Bandcamp has an allocation of /100. There is already a dick on eBay flipping this.

I'm pretty sure this is just a clear press of Astoria with free access to all of the Astoria Bandcamp demos. Not that the demos are pressed to vinyl.

So long astoria : complete demos now pressed on clear vinyl /100 no idea what’s gonna be on the record cause the digital files are like 43 of them https://theataris.bandcamp.com/album/complete-demos-so-long-astoria

It was sold out before they even posted that and probably has been for a month dont feel too bad.

yep, looks pretty sweet too

yes

Pulled from BM for now. Imagining SB perhaps wanted a crack at an announcement/preorder first.

Fuck yes new things I wasnt expecting every day. I'll pick this up with Now Only since I've still been recovering from Crow to listen.

I saw him a few months ago at a little church in LA. We all sat in the pews and listened while the reverb of the church's architecture created a haunting atmosphere. It's easily the most beautiful show I've ever attended, and I'm interested to see how that translates over onto the live album format.

ACLAM is such a beautiful album, yet I've stayed away from it after the first listen because it's devastating to know I'll feel pain like that one day.

It was already mentioned in this thread but you can get all 5 albums shipped from jpc.de to the US for like $101. That's the cheapest so far. Honestly that may be the cheapest we ever see...that's a really good deal. Plus, if I remember correctly, jpc packages their records really well. https://www.jpc.de/s/system+of+a+down

This man can do no wrong. I also got to meet him (and the rest of dino jr) once and what you see is what you get.

I've come to terms with the fact that Thrice no longer connects for me, Vheissu through Beggars is great, I don't need anything else.

Stranger things s03 score?

This is definitely something I am trying to fund with my current round of eBay. It looks incredible.

Why do you care about flaunting your expertise and intelligence for liking a band before their breakthrough album to a forum you deem a cesspool? Just lurk.

yup it's like Thrice meets SURVIVE

Oh wow.....sounds like saves the day trying to be really bad weezer

I can wait.

Phil's thoughts: While making the songs that would be released as "A Crow Looked At Me", I wasn't thinking at all about sharing them with other people, family or strangers. Nobody. I was only thinking of squeezing the constant flow of words that was crashing around in my head into a familiar form, a song, since that was my habitual method of processing that had accidentally developed since adolescence. I made my inner monologue into songs for no other reason than to release it from my skull. At some point during the writing I recognized a feeling in the vicinity of "pride" about the work. It was a strange realization. These songs, and my the facts of my life that the songs were made from, seemed like nothing to be proud of. They seemed like something purely brutal and new and apart from my usual conception of creative work, and the notion of having excitement stemming from these new songs was accompanied by so many apprehensions and uncertainties. What does it mean to write things like this down? What would it mean to record it? What would it mean to share it with strangers? Where is the line of propriety? What is anyone supposed to do? At every step I was uncertain if it was OK to be doing what I was doing. My hunch was almost always that it was wrong. Don't write it, don't record it, don't sing it in front of people, don't repeat it. But also I was surprised to discover that my internal response to this hesitation was almost always to double down and go deeper in; to write more nakedly, to go on another tour, etc. In the year that came after releasing "A Crow Looked At Me" I toured a lot. The United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan. It wasn't easy. The shows were emotionally difficult and the atmosphere was so delicate and strange, like reenacting a violent act on stage in front of a paying audience every night. On top of that, I had to tour with my daughter (and a nanny) so my mind was stretched between 2 big difficulties. But fortunately, with the help of so many understanding and helpful agents, bookers, organizers, I was lucky to get to perform these songs in very well suited and beautiful rooms, nice theaters and churches, to kind and supportive listeners. The concerts ended up being something beyond strange, macabre, gawk-shows. I don't know what they were exactly. Just strangers gathered in beautiful rooms to pay close attention to one person's difficult details, and to open up together, quietly. They have been the most powerful shows of my life, no question. Even so, every time it was clear that the audiences shared the same apprehensions that I had. After the first song, every time, there was a palpable hanging question in the air: "should we clap?". It's a good question. What is this? Is it entertainment? What is applause for? What kind of ritual is this? Many close friends have still not listened to the records or come to a concert. What, beyond pain, is embodied here? I don't know exactly what my job is, traveling around and delivering these feelings. The concerts in 2017 and 2018 have been unusual, unexplainable, and great. The best one was at Le Guess Who? festival in Utrecht, Netherlands on November 10th, 2017. Nobody was supposed to be recording these shows but fortunately someone didn't get that message and this beautiful recording of that show has surfaced. So now I'm plunged back into the apprehensions, now pushed into new territory. What would it mean to release a live album of these songs that maybe shouldn't have been written in the first place, let alone recorded or performed? Is it OK? Does it bring anything new to the songs to hear them in this way? My hope is: yes. You can hear the breath in the room. You can feel the simultaneous intimacy and immensity. Foregrounded by the hyper-bare instrumentation (minimal acoustic guitar), the words burn brighter even than on the albums, more legible. This is a recording of these ultra-intimate songs living in the real world among people, and of peoples' wide eyed accepting silence, and clapping.

Twentythree by CBL finally coming to wax, I'll update with a PO link when it's live.

Didnt see it mentioned yet, but they recorded a new EP, AND a new LP, so I'm curious which one the new song is from

Chris is a dad now, I imagine he won't be singing about drinking blood and how the world would be better off without him that much these days. This new song is cool. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

Couldnt you check into a movie you dont give a shit about and just walk into the meg?

If a band they like made something shitty or not of their taste then automatically everything he does is bad. There are enough bands he's produced that have done this to have plenty of people here feeling that way. I don't think a producer has more impact than the band like some seem to think though. I wonder how many feel that way because of La Dispute alone... lol

Product page updated on Rough Trade to say it's "housed in a limited edition mirri-board sleeve". Not sure if that's exclusive to their version or their version + the clear copies. I don't see anything on Carpark about that aspect so maybe it's just RT.

Buy the Nouns LP. Best band you never heard.

Thats a great comp. And if its mixed as well as Boxer live, its gonna be great.

As an aside - the deluxe version of Pale Horses that I own always makes me laugh because I've never seen a vinyl mock-up be further off from the final product.

they are!

Hopefully BSM will be doing the Euro release.

New song is awesome. I hope they keep this general feel and mix it with some Aaron aggression more up front on other songs. Still this song is legit as all fuck.

Completed my U2 studio albums discography on vinyl. Realized after I took it that I forgot my Best of 1980-1990 OP in the picture.
