How hard does it SLAP on a scale of "girlfriend caught me kissing Alyssa under the bleachers" to "mom found out I got suspended from school while she was on the sauce"?

I ran out of matches so I just gave him himself and told himself not to tell himself

They fit in exactly the way you would expect 12" squares to fit inside a 12.5 x 12.5 x 6" box.

*squints* have I not had enough coffee yet? Awesome gift there man! Though I have a feeling that it was NOT SWB who put it together, haha.

Oooof that new artwork is baaaaaad. This album didn't age well for me anyways. Plus $36 shipped??

searched all over for a stream of Uncomfortably Numb, found it https://mexedi.net/music/zarubejnie/zar_2018/15148-american-football-uncomfortably-numb-feat-hayley-williams-2018.html Save some of ya'll the frustration of finding it. Its real good I can’t feel a thing inside. I blamed my father in my youth. Now as a father, I blame the booze

I definitely regret ordering. It looks like salt bae threw in those "blue" pellets.

Dunno about you guys but this has aged really well... a great listen from start to finish. 60 & Punk is a great closer and quite stunning

I just saw Smartpunk post about this. Gold w/ aqua smoke. Available 2/22/2019. https://smartpunkshop.com/products/as-i-lay-dying-an-ocean-between-us

ey thanks. i've been meaning to get this and have some amazon cash haha

Up on Amazon. Comes out Friday apparently? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L5DTD9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2PWgCbE71811R

I guess I can see how it's annoying being from the UK, but are you sure that Amazon has the clear variant? If it makes anyone feel better it sounds good and looks nice haha.

I'll bite only if you provide a video of giving good belly scritches to Chaga

Yeah what do people expect to get out of this? Clear > white anyways and minus shipping you save what getting it in stores ? Max a few dollars.

That dog needs to stop messing with test pressings and get back to dealing poker.

Chaga the dog is available if $10,000 worth of items is purchased.

Wow, so good

Doesn't the Honey app look at price history to tell you if you're getting the lowest price? Either way, I'm not seeing much value in this information. I look at discogs, eBay, and popsike for prices.

If you paid via PayPal, file a claim against them - preorders are required to ship within three weeks or they have no ground to stand on when it comes to "sales are final" gimmicks.

Thats about the same as Fat Cats price. I'm guessing it's higher due to the BC fees. Who knows.

Yes, if it says 2018 repress, you should be good. They repressed Fourteen... (red) and Nobody... (clear) but I had to message them to make sure they were the coloured versions. They will be repressing them again in 2019 at some point. We Were Promised Jetpacks "These Four Walls" has been repressed 3 times now with this latest red variant.

Hmm that's a bummer. I saw they had a 2018 repress on BC but no mention of clear vinyl: https://thetwilightsad.bandcamp.com/

One of the pictures shows the carton quantity as 24.

not interested in this myself very much, but I remember reading at some point on his IG that there were plenty copies available so if you want one, you'd get one without much hassle. Probably there won't be any need to F5 your way through thursday.

Thank you for being the first to post! Great photos as well. Merry Christmas!

This is my first year participating in VC Secret Santa, so I think it's fitting that I am the first poster to share the awesome gifts they received. My gifts arrived in two installments over the last month. In November, I received two packages from Amazon and, this week, I received a third package (that was somehow postmarked both from Arizona AND Germany and required a weird international receipt signature!). My first gifts from November: Slowdive's self titled LP from 2017! I have slept on Slowdive for 20+ years despite being familiar with the name, so this was a great choice. That upbeat, well-paced shoe-gaze sound is right up my alley. Low's Double Negative LP from this year! This was one of my favorite records of 2018 but, the one time I went into Amoeba in LA to buy it, they were sold out and I never ended up grabbing a copy. Thanks to my Secret Santa for selecting this off my wishlist! Now, flash forward to this week's gifts: R.E.M.'s import picture disc single for Leaving New York (off Around the Sun), a Black Jesuses flexi, and CDs from Jeniferever and Thee More Shallows! Nomads' Free My Animal LP from 2014! Two mix CDs and a thoughtful, super nice handwritten letter! A huuuge yuletide thanks to my Secret Santa for crushing their gifts. I've participated in a few vinyl holiday exchanges and this was by far the best selection of stuff I've ever received. I'm excited to dig out my CD drive so I can spin those mixes and CDs and to play that Nomads LP! I have heard of almost none of these bands besides A Perfect Circle and Sigur Ros, which are on the mixes, so it will be a fun dive. I will definitely update this thread with my impressions of all the new music. My Santa did not identify themselves but I'm just gonna guess that it was swb. He seems to be a safe guess so far. Seriously. Awesome gifts! Thank you! Who else got dat Santa gift?

Looks like The Ocean and the Sun will be finally released on vinyl next year...I'm quite excited

love that 44% newbury markup

edit: gone 1 copy of the Thought Gang - Monkey Fur screenprinted version is back in stock at Sacred Bones: https://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/collections/releases/products/sbr214-thought-gang-thought-gang

The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships Shame - Songs of Praise A Star is Born Soundtrack Top 3 for me.

if there is, I don't wanna taco 'bout them.

sorry I had to stole this from the Internet, and yes Silhouttes is great.

eh. OG art is 1000x better.

All my friends talk about them. I've seen a few music videos of them a while ago. I only remember the one with them on the street/(cul-de-sac?). Was great, been meaning to check out more stuff

The SATURATION Trilogy is an instant classic, I wish they'd press those to vinyl. At least I've got the CD box set! I'm on my third listen-through of Iridescence, and my thoughts so far are that the first half is sorta disjointed but the second half is solid gold and a logical evolution from Saturation. Still pretty fucking amazing they made this thing in 10 days though.

She's a lovely human being, I just don't like her music at all
