AF2 was good as a stand alone record and very good in the context of a reunion record.

i was more saying i didn't find the new Mineral track to be very good, and that i wouldn't probably like an entire album written from the same headspace/in the same style. i really loved AF2 (and goes without saying i love AF1 too). they're very different albums that do different things, but they still mostly feel like they belong to the same band's discography. AF2 definitely challenges anyone who expected a return to those teenage feelings and the vaguely Cap'n Jazzy headspace of their particular brand of late 90s emo, but it feels like the band really wanted to make LP2 the way they made it and are trying to meet old fans halfway even in their experimentation. the new Mineral single, in contrast, felt more like a middling tribute to Mineral made by some others guys (the very strikingly unfamiliar vocals sure didn't help there either). it felt to me like the song latched onto some of the superficial signifiers of the classic Mineral sound without really trying to take up the emotional and creative burden of the OG material. aaaand that's my TED talk haha.

Signup for this year is closed I think VCecret Santa is a funnier title, but it looks awful written out. Still had to say it. Not my intention to stage a coup or anything, but I was the one creeping around so I guess I'll be heading off this year's version of Secret Santa, which I am very happy to do. Depending how many people enlist I may have to ask for a hand wrangling all the elves but I think I can handle it for the time being. We've gotten a late start on it this year, which is OK, however I still want to make sure everyone gets their gifts (ostensibly) before Christmas. Therefore I am instituting a couple different rules. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IF YOU CANNOT HAVE YOUR GIFT SHIPPED BY DECEMBER 7. NO EXCEPTIONS. This gives us three weeks to conjure up and purchase the perfect presents, as well as three weeks to get it through the holiday mayhem to your giftee. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR 'ABOUT ME' WRITTEN IN THIS THREAD BY END OF DAY NOVEMBER 11 OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEARS EXCHANGE. NO EXCEPTIONS. This allows me to send out matches November 12 so we have 3 full weeks to go gift hunting. I feel the bolded, no exception rules really highlight the fun and joy this event should bring to us all. Other than that, the rules are simple: Your match must receive gifts amounting to no less than $25 worth. There is no cap on what you can spend, so go crazy if you want. All packages must be sent with a tracking number. You must post an 'about me' after you sign up. You must have a tradelist. It's impossible to know what nifty new stuff to get you if we don't know what you already have. NO NAUGHTY ELVES! You must say thank you and post pictures/video of whatever you received. Please use the following information as a return address when you send your gift out so you aren't revealed before your gift is even open. Secret Santa 5702 E. 31st St. Tucson, AZ 85711 I think the new rules are fair considering the time constraints we are working under, however this is not a dictatorship and I am welcome to any revisions or suggestions if you all see necessary.

Looks like deluxe is back on the menu. This completely fell off the map for the last year or so – presumably on account of licensing issues and sample clearances. Hopefully it's an indicator for original samples this time around.

Ooh nice hopefully I get one soon too. Would be dope if it comes Friday so me and my girlfriend can listen to it that night

There is a repress going up Wednesday, red splatter I believe. Black is here if not, slightly over cost: https://us.zavvi.com/merch-vinyl/big-trouble-in-little-china-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-2xlp-black-vinyl/11857179.html?affil=thggpsad&switchcurrency=USD&shippingcountry=US&&thg_ppc_campaign=71700000024495176&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx4GzyNK-3gIVE9VkCh1d4AdMEAQYASABEgIpefD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Wow I actually got a shipping confirmation for Pt. 1 & 2 from the official store already! I seriously can’t believe these were ready to go on time.

I do own it already but fuuuuuuuuck that looks dope (pun intended)

Just got this in the mail from rfc, it's a standard sleeve, not the deluxe gatefold cover fyi.

This Mineral track doesnt even sound like Mineral

Deerhunter and Big Star are the best band to come out of the South? That's some lofty praise considering Butthole Surfers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Allman Brothers Band, Superchunk, Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, Polvo, My Morning Jacket, B52's , REM, Vic Chesnutt and Drive By Truckers all hail from the South.

You’re suggesting AF2 was pretty solid, right? Especially for a reunion album? If so I’m inclined to agree.

going off that single, rather low

Pinned the thread. And I think I'd be in this year also.

That's correct, and a good point. I'll clarify!

If not a grounding issue, do you have the heat on? This causes a lot more static and a humidifier could help out. A carbon fiber brush helps too.

Wife won the remastered LP at a listening party on Friday night...it sounds great!

Noted. Given the speed with which this sold out, there will be a repress. So, sit tight if you didn't get a copy this time around!

My order from amazon.jp is out for delivery. I have no idea if I’ll be getting all or part of my order. My order updates have all been in Japanese, but I think based on the number of emails I’ve received with different titles named in the subject line, that it should be most if not all of my order. Has anyone else gotten any notifications or received their packages yet? I’m really excited to get these and would like to hear what other people think if they’ve gotten their shipments yet.

Hollow Knight is one of the best games I've played in ages. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys games like Symphony of the Night and the like. Superb game and perfect for the switch.

Amazon Canada still hadn't shipped my order so I contacted customer service to find out if they had an estimated ship date. Without even asking the customer service rep then upgraded my shipping to Priority Int'l shipping and told me it would ship tomorrow for delivery by Friday. When I looked at my order details, it showed that he removed the shipping charge altogether so I'll end up getting the box for $144. Score!

I dig it.

Likely a grounding issue somewhere in your setup. You'll need to ground the offending item, there are lots of ways to do it, but one of the easiest to to run a wire from metal on the equipment to touch something metal on another piece that is three-pronged

A new album doesn’t change what they created before

I'll make a new thread to catch any errant eyes. Please reconfirm your participation in that thread! I'm going to alter the rules a bit as well so we can make up for the time lost. @jhulud is there any way we can unsticky this thread and sticky the new one?

You joined to bump a thread about shelves that were posted 22 months ago for sale?

I love Mike to pieces but we have different definitions of the word fun. On a side note, somebody on his Instagram page was going crazy about an order issue and Mike posted his personal number to amend the situation. I took it upon myself to text him and told him hes awesome and to have a beautiful day.

Yes, the band will get their copies and they will put it up there.

Fye has the best variant. I'll probably grab it in store with a coupon

This is a bummer, love all of Deerhunter’s discog but those records / shows with Josh were something special. https://pitchfork.com/news/former-deerhunter-bassist-josh-fauver-is-dead/
