VC board member spends so much on records they get into argument with spouse, walk into greeting card shop to buy apology card and instead walk out with three Hallmark cards bundled with shiny 7” singles. That sounds about right...

full album stream now over at Stereogum https://www.stereogum.com/2015804/slow-crush-aurora/music/album-stream/

I didnt know slasher dave existed until the other day and now its time to go back and grab all the others! apparently they are all readily available which is cool. (Dont tell people that in the ETID thread... people get upset when you tell them they can buy a record for a reasonable price...)

I already have 3 copies but WTH it comes with a poster and holographic cover #ImAWhore

Main Feedback, ill keep it short They look nice, good job. People with only a few records wont commit that kinda cash to storing them, people with lots of records probably can't afford the quantity they would need (like me). I work in a construction related industry. People are idiots. These things are going to be stud anchored or bust. 1 and 3 people will incorrectly install a drywall anchor, ruin their wall, and leave you 1 Star angry reviews. Trust me on this one. Your elevator pitch is really thin with the 'hardship' angle. Having to bend over to grab a record is not a big deal, its not like your grabbing more than a few a day at best. Stick to the value proposition of a high quality item and the safety it provides having them elevated. Good luck!

Money? It's probably money. For me it's money.

Just came to post this. Guess I'm selfish, I'm already 4 songs in before coming here to post this

I can really only see this as a UO aesthetic, but I also don’t know if you could get that customer with this price point.

Quick question about undrafted keepers. Shouldn't they be in 15th round? As in, someone you picked up in the 16th round last year would fit in the 14th this year, so undrafted would be 15th? Not a huge deal really, more just curious.

looks like Fall 2018 is up for digital pre-order on amazon. Nothing yet for vinyl on qrates but i'm sure that'll be coming very soon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H7VPZWW/

Gold jacket, green jacket, who gives a shit? It's 34 minutes of great music. The spoken word tracks (to me) are not really filler as they build context and set the mood for the entire nostalgia of the album. The band has put out 4 solid releases in 4 years, can't say in disappointed in any of it to be honest

Thanks for posting here! The 2 new tracks sound dreamier, but I'm not worrying, her voice is just butter. I have a couple extra of EP's "Ease" on the way (white vinyl for those who have bad luck - be forewarned, I've been fortunate) which cut the shipping costs, so if you're interested PM me. Will prob be about $23-24ppd to USA from me. 2 extras.

I can't think of any reason I would want to mount my record collection on the wall like that, not to mention that if you have more than like...3 cubes full, what then? Also, train your dog. If you can't leave records safely in a shelf anywhere it can be reached by a dog I'd imagine you can't leave anything else near or on the floor either. I mean...what happens when it chews up your couch, gonna hang that from the wall too?

You couldn't train your dog so you started a company??

Let’s get this back on track, shall we? In related news, Steve Mason has a new solo album coming out in January. I haven’t looked too hard for US preorders, but there are a couple “limited” variants with signed prints available from the UK: Silver vinyl: http://www.stevemasonmerch.com/ PledgeMusic exclusive white vinyl: https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/steve-mason-about-the-light

I think there is a world of difference between Lateralus and 10,000 Days. Like it sounds like the band Tool. They have their own sonic identity. That's ok. I don't want them to put out an album where they suddenly sound like Simon & Garfunkel or Nirvana or anyone else. I want them to sound like them. But the attitude and sonics in general between those albums is very different. To me its different between all the albums. People liked to say that Tool keep putting out the same 7 songs every 5 years (back when that used to be the approximate interval unlike it is today) but I think those people just didn't understand or have the tolerance or sensitivity for the consistency of the Tool sonic identity. They play the way they play and to most people it sounds monotonous from album to album but to me I can hear the very distinct separation between each album's own identity. I have a strong feeling this album will be different in that very same way. Maybe that's a subtlety that is too minute for a lot of people to detect but that's likely how its gong to be. I feel like 10,000 Days may be their weakest effort for me personally so I do hope they come back and kick my ass but who knows. I'd rather they stick to their guns and feel comfortable in their artistry than to put out their own Villains or ....Like Clockwork.

Posthumous release from Richard Swift. https://secretlycanadian.com/record/the-hex/

I'll probably order after hearing the full album because this record sounds promising.

Since I missed this PO thread: Many of you will like this. Reminds me of early Whirr.

Congrats dude! You’ll never go back!

agreed! Nothing but positive experiences with their stores/staff

I hope their album "houses of the holy" gets pressed too...

It's how you know it's European and worth $6k plus.

I don't have the stomach to watch the video, but I bet it's AM. I'm quite a big fan of their first album and nothing after it, but AM is just insulting to those who loved their garage rock revival sound.

You guys forced him to copy and paste all those threads. You made him do this. This is hurting him more than it hurts you.

Wait.. You got the black variant?

I sat and debated.. now it's gone. Sigh. Why do I do that?!

Skipped this due to the UK shipping being crazy. Interested to see what other variants follow, hopefully some of which make their way to EU distributors.
