FYI regarding the 7”:

Exciting times: Jon Chang and Rob Marton (Discordance Axis) have reunited to create a final album, No One Knows What The Dead Think. Fall, 2019, Willowtip Records.

Ignorance Is Bliss is being pressed right now. I'll post the pre-orders to the face to face fan club page as soon as they open up: https://www.facebook.com/groups/facetofacefans/?ref=bookmarks

via Facebook: I knew it was best to wait this out.

It's not really their fault though. It's paper. It splits. It's pretty expected for inners to split in shipping. I'd imagine the license for this was pretty expensive and the runs were low, thus the high price. Was it more than it should have been? Probably. Is the inner being split indicative of a cash grab? No wayyyy.

Yeah I was first in line to get in, wasn’t gonna miss that shit lol.

Yeah! Nothing says money grab like something...damaged in transit, being no real fault of the people who made it.

Mine is split like it was filled with knives. What a money grab.

This makes me so happy.

Not sure where/if its available in the US but UK indie stores have it (limited to 300 in the UK)

They do.

Got my PV/EB variant yesterday. I like it. The splatter takes up more 'real estate' than I thought it was going to. https://ibb.co/Y2YGnT7

N/A

I'll put this here if people are interested. In Time. Blue wax. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/in-time-the-best-of-rem-1988-2003/33708231?ean=0888072095274

SRC just responded to me on Twitter that green is the standard retail and there is no black version, for anyone who was wondering.

So I have a very exciting update on the project! As of a few days ago, I've officially partnered with Kindercore Vinyl in Athens, GA to press the album to vinyl record! One of the owners reached out to me after happening upon one of the FB ads I ran a few weeks ago and said they'd be honored to do it. Considering Kindercore has been a part of the music scene in Athens since the 90's and have worked with a lot of the artists in the E6 Collective, including key NMH members, I think this adds some significance to the album and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm planning to take a road trip down there to pick everything up once the press is done and hopefully meet some E6 people while I'm there. I'm going to leave a dozen albums with select people and cross my fingers that one of them ends up in Jeff Mangum's hands! I briefly spoke with Scott Spillane and reached out to Laura Carter as well in that effort. If anyone is interested in getting a copy of the vinyl or an album download (and other goodies), campaign link is below - only a week left!

It's going to be a great day when this arrives. I'm glad I waited and didn't cancel my order.

apparently this is the red/white starburst. looks great.

Already shipped. Nice.

Wondering as well.

Fuck yes! Nocturnus AD "Paradox" PO is up via Profound Lore. I went with the transparent blue w/ yellow-silver splatter. https://profoundlorerecords.merchtable.com/music/nocturnus-ad-pardox-2xlp

Ah yes, thank you. Been years listening to music, I still got these terms mixed-up. (clearly not good with instruments) Back to LP3, might be my AOTY, so far. Wish they will tour anywhere near South East Asia soon.

If anyone stills needs a colored version, we finally got 3 in last week and no one locally seems interested. I know it does not mention it's colored but I can confirm they all have the hype sticker https://vinylren.com/products/better-oblivion-community-center.html

TL:DR He's into it

Having no discrimination or preference towards streaks is ideal. You were just wondering about - or at least surprised by - the lack critiquing on the BSM variant, and I wanted to give you potential insight. (Not that I'm speaking for everyone.) While the BSM variant doesn't 100% match that original description, it has a subtle / cool / "hold up to the light to really see it" kind of splatter going on, and those are just dandy in my books... hence no critique. So after a couple more listens, I think I'm ready to weigh in on the album. Track by track thoughts for anyone who's already familiar with the album and cares to read an opinion. Spoiler tags for everyone else.

MASHUP, 10am tmw

Y'know, that's funny cuz it's the typo that makes it true. The last few weeks have seen a lot of bands I follow by buying put stuff out.

ill just pick up as many as im allowed and help yall here first

Don’t know if anyone cares about Discogs or this particular issue in general, especially on a very old thread. But I just wanted to reach out to all of you and say thanks for everything here. Using all of your information I was able to get the Discogs pages/master release/releases fixed so that there isn’t a secret translucent orange copy listed and the red first press is appropriately cataloged and explains the manufacturing variations of the opaque red vs translucent orange. https://www.discogs.com/The-Wonder-Years-The-Greatest-Generation-/release/4686834 The only reason I fell down this rabbit hole was because I’m trying to gift my wife a huge stash of the variants of TGG and researching everything lead me here. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks because everything here lead to the fix and I appreciate it.

Gorgeous tho

Verdict is in: pretty jazzed on the initial listen. Need another one before I fully nerd out and share detailed thoughts on highlights. I love how different it feels from LP2 already. A lot of people will still dismiss it as a new Owen record but I think it offers so much more.

as someone who is wrapping up week 11 of paternity leave, my advice would be to do whatever your wife wants you to do

Today, by @greggletron on Instagram. Today was our third session and we knocked out about 3.5 hours to finish this off. The head should fade to mostly white.

Hell yes

no repress, he's been saving stock to sell at the shows.
