I made my user name Jason Taint for the chorus switch over. I got banned after 1 post just for the name.

Latest FB post says noon CST FYI

someone should buy that, open it, take one disc and return it back as incomplete.

Guess what I'm not googling at the office?

No, it'll be cheaper than that. I just ordered my wholesale copies today and while my price will depend on any customs charges etc, they should be much cheaper than $60 at most US based stores.

Unless it's the Dwarves.

Suffo reissues showed up. They both sound great.

I actually appreciate the fact that you tagged me in a post to shit talk me haha

Sooo, after getting the letter from customs and explaining them the whole idea of VC Secret Santa (they wanted to see a link ), they forwarded everything without me paying any single penny and I received my package today! First things first: I was SHOCKED by the size of the package and the (to that effect) super-high shipping costs my Secret Santa had! $67 for shipping this beast to Germany! I'm speechless and also sorry that my SS had to pay such a high amount to make me happy...! :-* Here's the package: So, as you can see my Secret Santa is Jared aka @Youinreverse I'm somewhat happy that I didn't have to really find out who my SS was/is, since I'm really bad at guessing and it would only create embarrasing situations After opening the package, I found this letter: Although it's already 2019, I have to say that it wasn't Jared's fault that I've received the package "this late"...rather German customs bureaucracy! They wrote the customs letter on December, 24. Which means the package has been there for around a week...they are so slow! But I'm really happy to have received it at all...also happened that they just returned it to the sender after reading one of my mails NOW we come to the interesting part!!! First record: Efrim Menuck's High Gospel! As a HUGE Godspeed You! Black Emperor I was already going nuts seeing this! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE RELEASED SOMETHING UNDER HIS OWN NAME!?!?!?! WTF?! Really great start! Second record: 65daysofstatic - The Fall of Math It's crazy to say, but I don't own a single 65daysofstatic record at all! Jared was probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me since I have quite a few post-rock records in my collection I do listen to their stuff quite a lot but never thought about buying their records...and can't explain why! I think this is a great start for another great band to enter my record collection and it definitely will not be the last 65dos record! Basically, these two records made me so happy! I didn't expect anything else or more to come...but this was just the start to a sick secret santa package! Third record: The Black Angels - Indigo Meadows I have never heard of them before and just googled them to find out they make Psych Rock! FANTASTIC! I'm really into PsychRock for a few years now and always welcome new bands in that genre! Can't wait to give it a listen!!! Fourth Record (didn't I say this was a huge package?): Holy Sons - Fall of Man Again a band I've never heard of before! Just googled them/him and listened to "The Fact Facer" (first video to show up)! SOUNDS GREAT! Oh man, can't wait to listen to this...has this fantastic mix of singer/songwriter, experimental, indie...so much new music to discover...love it! Fifth record (ridiculous, isn't it?): Subrosa - For this we fought the battle of ages Just look at this beauty! This looks fantastic...so basic! I love these kind of artworks! Again a band that I've never heard of! Regarding discogs it's something in the region of Sludge, Doom & Post-Rock! Sounds exactly like something I'll immediately enjoy!!!.......ahhh that artwork.... Sixth Record (holy hell, so many records...): Efterklang - Piramida I've heard of Efterklang before but never listened to their music at all! But their mix of Post-Rock, Folk & Experimental music will probably be candy in my ears! Can't wait!! SEVENTH RECORD (I really can't believe I'm writing this!!!): The Kills - Ash & Ice Again something I'm not familiar with! The artwork looks promising! Didn't google them and want to surprise myself... WOW, JUST WOW, JARED ( @Youinreverse)!!!! This package has to be the biggest, most generous and thoughtful Secret Santa package that I've ever received!!! I'm still speechless! Not in my wildest dreams would I've ever imagined that someone sends me SEVEN LPs across the ocean! Not only seven random records, but thoughtful selected music from bands that surely fit in my collection and taste!!! Many bands that I've never heard anything of and I cannot wait to give ALL those records a spin, find out about these new bands and maybe put them into my list of favorites! Jared, thank you so so much for this fantastic package and all you effort (time & money) in putting this thing together for me and send it around the globe! Your gifts truly exceeded all my expectations & dreams! I hope you and your family had a fantastic Christmas time with your beloved ones and hope the package you received was only half as nice as the one I got!!! Thanks!

The ap.net/chorus.fm staff (well not everyone just Jason Tate and @drewberinger) are the worst. They think they know everything better than the users, their opinions are facts ( I got banned for different opinion), they are posting news like 1-2 weeks behind. Can't believe that the site is still thriving. Shame I used to love that site...

Treat yourself to some 90s goodness: https://edsawesomesounds.com/products/paw-dragline-debut-lp-180-gram-audiophile-vinyl-alt-rock-mov-import-new-sealed-preorder Also at UK and German Amazons, and a few on Ebay.

LOL. Wow so much whining about the cover art. Have you guys seen the cover art for their first record? Or maybe literally every Cannibal Corpse record cover? Or Autopsy record covers? Or Brujeria's cover of a severed head? It's death metal

this sunday at 10am central time.

Sorry for the slow response here. Glad you're all stoked on this!

The record is caled "Posthumous Humiliation" so I saw it as an artistic choice, and one that I thought validated the gore. It really brings "Posthumous Humiliation" home and forces you to confront the meaning right off the bat. That being said, I think I'm just getting too old for this shit.

BLOOD GUTS AND PUSSY, MOTHERFUCKER

If your cover is exploitative rather than artistic, I'm going to hard pass every. single. time. Because it pretty much means the music is shit.

Thank you to everyone who as posted so far, just a couple left! This has been so much fun to see and boy there were quite some hauls this year. Extra thanks to Youinreverse for allowing Sasan to be part of this year's exchange by sending overseas... a true MVP of the yearly exchange.

Nice!

This is absolutely my favorite thread, most of my new purchases are from posts here.

I will say that i am impressed it took us 21 pages for the metal thread to hit this poseur debate. Honestly, not bad. Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Regardless, this is still the only VC thread that matters to me anymore.

My least visited Slowdive album, but that would still be great. Unfortunately we both know that Newbury’s business model tethers them exclusively to records that are readily available; nothing OP or sought after, of course. I’m balls deep on a S/T collection but I’ll be passing on this one. Strange variant, though it does match that gatefold nicely.

Yeah, this is quite solid. Has standout moments on first listen which is not something I’ve associated with a Mono record in quite some time. I very much agree that the electronics are barely there and tastefully done – I quite prefer that approach than a lot of the bands who go full retro synth when they decide it’s time to experiment with electronic sounds. The vocals on Breathe don’t sit well with me and there are a few parts of the album that seemed fairly forgettable, but the overwhelming majority of it is really nice. Definitely ordering.

I'm just glad the black vinyl only and artwork are keeping people away, I was trying to go at least the month of January without buying/preordering anything. Personally, I wish more bands went to such lengths to keep posers away.

Only listened to it very recently but very solid album!

Anyone else catch this album last year? Just realized I never posted it. In my top 2 PR albums from 2018. Feed Me to the Waves

2019 ROCKS

So most places have sold out of the red/white/black variant. But 24hundred in Australia still have some. https://24hundred.net/collections/hopeless-records/products/peach-club-12-vinyl-black-white-red-a-side-b-side-preorder Also for any older fans, S/T and Relativity first presses have gone on sale again at Rise’s Merchnow, it’s a good opportunity to pick one as Rise are doing a Mystery deal where if you pick one LP, you get either 2 free LP’s or 2 free 7’s.

New Pissgrave up for pre order. That album cover...lol https://profoundlorerecords.merchtable.com/music/pissgrave-posthumous-humiliation-vinyl-lp

Haha. You said in the not that I'd probably forget about the second package before it showed up, and looks like you were right.

Over the past few days I’ve watched: Annihilation - Maybe not “horror” per say, but goddamn if it didn’t have its moments. I felt an incredible uneasiness throughout the whole thing as well. Very strong “Last of Us” vibes too. Strangers: Prey at Night - Meh, it was alright. Definitely not as good as the first (I personally love the first one. I know it’s nothing special really, just something about it), but it had its moments. The whole pool scene in particular. Really wasn’t a fan of how The Man in the Mask turned out being a Jason-like character who just wouldn’t die at the end though. Felt like an odd choice. Oh, Music was really top notch too. Dead Ringers - Been wanting to see this for so long. Saw it was on Prime so thought it was a good chance. Really good. I love Cronenberg’s stuff and even though I was expecting (and hoping for) more of his effects, the story was good enough to make up for it. Really creepy at times and Jeremy Irons acted the hell out of the role(s?). Mandy - FINALLY. Don’t know how else to describe this besides “insane.” Really, really beautiful as well and that soundtrack is out of this world. Plus it’s always a treat to see Nicholas Cage go all out with his craziness. Check this one out if you haven’t yet. It’s a hell of an experience.

My issue with the "three other guys" thing is..look I'm sure they made their peace with Jesse internally and that's between them and it's fine. What's not fine is when the women who spoke out were being threatened and harassed they stayed silent. To me that says volumes

I used to write a weekly video game round up for ap.net that got increasingly antagonistic against the readers. I had an "editor" but I'm not sure she ever read what I wrote. It was delightfully unhinged and I looked forward to writing it every week.

This... AP.net forums were such a staple for me growing up/high school years. The forums were such a better place then. What the site has turned into is completely sad.

dude, i read that thing a couple times i cant believe i didnt figure it out! thanks so much for everything, you did a fantastic job. @Youinreverse it was me, im glad you liked everything! dont forget that there is still one more package that should arrive within the next month or two(?) whenever the pre order ships.

True. I still miss AP. But it's just not the same. The music news is buried by Apple news and reblogged feminist articles. And the community is kind of annoying.

Why would you go to chorus.fm?

Are you new to the internet?

Can’t wait until we’re back on track here with bitching about a shitty RSD list, being the first to post “looks like I’m sleeping in that day” &/or “I haven’t gone out on RSD in years”.

Saw Sleep two nights ago and they kicked ass(duh). Was so tempted to buy the tour edition, but $60 was a little too ridiculous, especially since I already have the green version. I was hoping for a mission/tour patch, but no such luck. They had a poster, but I just didn't want to hold it during the show. This was only the second time I've seen them. The last time was I think one of their first reunion shows in SF and this one was better. Looking forward to seeing them again, but I hope to be a bit more stoned.

Disclaimer: Poster is known to say this about anything. If you hear sound with anything other than your eyes take it with a grain of salt.

Louis CK leak, Brand New leak, 2018 is going out with a bang (no pun intended).

They need to repress Tripod, Facelift, & Boggy Depot!!

At least the cover is significantly worse.

My PF Chang's fanclub number is so low that I barely have to wait in line to be seated anymore.
