Hi guys. I'm alive! I'm still check the board once in a while. I left HT a couple years ago, leaving had nothing to do with the vinyl or lack of vinyl at HT. That was really only a small part of what I did over there but it was definitely my favorite part of the job.

Oh shit! Amazon Italy just shipped my Crow copy! Ended up being $38.90

From the composer: complete series boxset over 4xLPs available 1st May for pre-order.

Autographed copies available at Looney Tunes!! Comes to about $38. They only had 30 to begin with so buy it quick. https://ltcds.com/product/vampire-weekend-father-of-the-bride-vinyl-lp-w-autographed-lp-jacket/ PS....if anyone has an extra spotify variant that you’d be willing to sell help me out lol

Can't spell money without ME!

This has been in stock for quite some time actually, at least a year.

I've never heard someone's member described that way before.

GHOSTEMANE - Fear Network 7" will be up for pre-order in the BBB store tomorrow at Noon EST. 1000 made. 300 on Clear Green, 700 on Black. Only pressing of this that will happen! www.triple-brecords.com

i agree completely. WDNTW and I empire are so good but maybe thats just cause how obsessed i was when they came out. i think TDW was good and ilans contributions are mostly good but the stuff can end up sounding a little generic/synthy at times. makes you realize how critical "critter" was as the producer for all the early years.

We miss you. All your work over the years is definitely appreciated.

@Han Solo just update the title for Season 8 talk. Last nights episode was incredible. Super dark though. As in I couldn’t see anything for the first half or so. Still amazing though.

Apparently this got released back in February but it completely slipped under my radar. Amazing album, one of my 'why has this never been pressed' and now it finally has! Their best album in my eyes, if you like their newer stuff but have never heard it i'd definitely give it a crack!

This is the thing you meant to post.

Okay. I was excited for this. Not just the new music, but the mock up looked like the Legion season 1 2xlp that is fucking gorgeous. Then to get that. I mean it sounds great but... It's probably like sex with me. Ladies get all excited at the promise and then when the final product is unveiled they're like, "that's it?"

Oh snap! It's a commentary on the state of the galaxy. Shit's deep yo. Oh shit.. Im dumb. You right. Mods please delete my shame Or leave it up so people can laugh at me. Edit 2: Looks nothing like the mock though. Shit might as well be black. Okay, I'm done now. Edit 3: Can't stop, won't stop... Here is the color it is supposed to be: https://www.amazon.com/Mettavolution-Galaxy-Colored-Rodrigo-Gabriela/dp/B07MX27KS6

hold it up to the light, my guy.

I rereleased the first te' album in the US on CD with bonus tracks and I completely forgot to mention them as well. So amazing live!

Te' are the "best".

“Rebel Girl” premiered on Utah’s x96 today at noon. A user on Reddit recorded the stream, and uploaded it to Dropbox. I gotta say, it’s a unique track. Definitely a new direction for the band, yet had the signature Tom/Angels sound. Love the OG Angels guitar toward the end. Stoked for this album!

I notified turntable labs that a site was mirror their site and using active links to there own website. The operation manager said they would take appropriate action. So maybe this is the result.

eBay coupon $3 OFF w/ "PERKS4ME"

there was no clear Decline available. a friend told me.. he has great connections with the seller from Fat.. he got a few Gold editions and a test pressing..

It's making me try to request access from you to view the doc. so I don't think you have it set to public.

With a big wallet ;-)

Plus Matthew Frank is a rad member of the boards here and Bob Nanna is in that band.

I have apologized, and member locations aren’t listed on my Safari mobile browser.

Or ya know... offer a refund if you can’t deliver.

I believe it said a friend stole it so I think I'm good.

Weezer Dusty Gems sounds good for a compilation. No issues at all. We need DGC Rarities pressed next RSD

So much good stuff I need to check out in this thread. Also, sadly defunct, but in a similar kind of happy vibe math rock https://youslut.bandcamp.com/album/critical-meat (there's an LP of this floating about that has this and another slamming album on it - cost effective!) Edit: also this one particular Enemies album https://enemiesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/embark-embrace-2

Gonna get hate for this but... The Mercury Program is not a math rock band. They are more straight forward Tortoise influenced post rock. Sorrryyyyy. Maybe their first LP but outside of that, no no no. "The View From This Tower" by Faraquet is technically post hardcore, but you seriously cannot argue it influenced SO MANY math rock bands with the guitar playing. Something to look into. If you are into the more Don Cab/A Minor Forest/etc style, I cant recommend the Lynx LP enough. One of the guitarists is in Battles now. And the bassist was in a shit ton of awesome post hardcore bands. I back mention of Maps & Atlases "Trees" EP. That EP and the first Tera Melos album basically changed the approach of math rock that came after. Not to mention Piglet. Omg Piglet. What else. hmm. Rumah Sakit. Weight & Measures. Volta Do Mar. Okay I'm done talking. haha. Just a note though. if you are looking to explore the genre, just be aware that the older/earlier stuff (slint, polvo, rodan, chavez, etc) sounds EXTREMELY different then now a days stuff (Covet, Friends, Invalids,etc) that is marked with the same genre title.

Tree, Swallows, Houses is still an all time fav from Maps & Atlases.

Also, Marnie Stern.

Tera Melos fucking raps too. See: "Warpless Run" from Trash Generator

Check out Clever Girl too. They only dropped one EP before dissolving but it’s pretty slick, and incorporates a lot more brass than you’d typically hear with your math rock. Vasudeva and Giraffes? Giraffes! are both pretty nice, too. The latter of which really sparked my interest in the genre with their first 2 releases.

Meet Me in St. Louis – Variations on Swing

I came here to say Piglet - Lava Land Also Don Caballero - American Don

The best ever math rock band out of denton Was a couple of guys Who'd been friends since grade school

listened again, god damn this song is bad.

They still have a backlog having shipped 5000 items of post since Tuesday! https://www.banquetrecords.com/mailout?issue=311

Although this statement is true, I think we're all fairly familiar with the current state of vinyl price gouging. So to assume we didn't take this into account prior to our reactions over the $32 price tag is a bit naive. I think we can all agree $31.98 for single LP and standard sleeve/jacket is pretty outrageous even by today's standards. $30+ is normally reserved for 2xLP or at the least 180g LPs in deluxe gatefold jackets with insert/printed sleeve/etc. Holding out hope that there's more variants to come and or this was simply an oversight on labels side.

I wonder what the new song is about.

Schmaltz hits me like a sack of bricks every time I listen to it. Such a great album. Pretty great that they are on Pure Noise now.

Getting started early on your New Year's Resolution to be more self-congratulatory? Nice!
