I imagine it went down something like this. ETR: Hey Andy can we press Get Wet and overcharge for gimmicky vinyl variants sourced from CD? AWK: I’d prefer you didn’t. ETR: Well, too bad. We do what we like and we like what we do. AWK: Fair enough.

I'm just sitting here thinking about how, in the last few days, I've given relapse $150 for 5 LPs and a toy.

Finally. Don't give a shit about the past drama. I'm hear for the music. The new songs they've released are stellar.

Oh well, while browsing BullMoose trying to get some free shipping I learned that the tenth Trail of Dead album is coming out in September. Legit didn’t even realize they were still an active band so that’s cool!

We literally used every blue option available from the plant

I get that a little. I’m still waiting for an album within this realm of music to top Bloom & Breathe.

Liking this so far, definitely different than what I expected from Deathwish’s usual signings. The album closer has me intrigued, named after one of my favorite books.

Thanks for posting this! We are so excited for this record, it's incredible. For fans of Russian Circles, Pianos Become The Teeth, Caspian, This Will Destroy You, Godspeed, you get the idea. Please check it out, we have some gorgeous vinyl colors as well. harborlights.band

Ordered with a quickness! Seen these guys a few years ago and Jesse was super sick so he said he’d try his best but he maybe only did like one song. After that he said “anybody knows the songs get up here and sing em” I got up and did Grandfather and Like a Cat even though I probably botched the lyrics a bit. Fun show even though I caught whatever Jesse had I was sick for weeks lol

Interesting new signing by DW. Solid first two singles. https://deathwishinc.com/collections/harborlights/products/harborlights-isolation-ritual https://music.apple.com/my/album/isolation-ritual/1468220623

Looks like itll be both I Get Wet and The Wolf being released separately on Friday

Thanks to @pizza face for the hook up on an extra. Olive green sounds good. My only criticism of this pressing is that it sounds kind of quiet. I'm quite happy the artwork turned out so well.

Oh, yo, I just saw that this was ETR. You can count the ol' boy out.

Your way makes a lot more sense.

Peacock + Flexi is back up on KRM. $27.24 shipped to me. Media mail was an option. @Satan I see you scooped the Banquet variant but tagging you in case you wanna cancel and save a little on this one and get that ~~ExClUsIvE~~ flexi.

HELL YES!!! My aux input busted about 7 years ago and I've never had bluetooth. I only listen to CD's in my vehicle. I still burn CD's like it's 2002. So the download code thread in this forum is great for me. The majority of my friends give me their download codes from their newer LPs because I actually use them also. I've got LPs at home, BlueTooth speakers for showering/getting ready or cooking, CDs in my vehicle, and Tapes at work (as well as my computer for bandcamp and podcasts). I have a 10 CD case that I took from a Mercedes rental back in college that I still keep. In that case I have Joy Division "Closer", Tom Petty "Wildflowers", The Get Up Kids "Something To Write Home About", Charles Bradley "Changes", Godspeed You! Black Emperor "Lift your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" (2 disc), Dengue Fever "Cannibal Courtship", Every Time I Die "Hot Damn!", and Neil Young "After The Gold Rush" There are a ton of other CDs floating around in the vehicle outside of the case (a lot of local stuff), but for the sake of the thread, that's my case of CD's that doesn't leave the vehicle.

There’s a media mail option when I checked it.

Meeee to. I know at least three people who are buying every copy. Those pins are really sick though

I enjoyed the hell out of Star Wars.

I used some Paypal funds to offset the total cost of the box, and they were taken / depleted immediately. (For what that’s worth.)

It's not that, it's the sheer stupidity of the pressing quantity + price here. Whoever thought this would move is insane. At this rate they'll be stuck with what, best case... 950?... leftover copies. I guess that'd net them a massive profit because even with the bells and whistles they're promoting here, these things ain't costing much to print. This may be the stupidest display of vinyl-selling hubris I've witnessed by a band before.

I really hope that’s seven people who bought 2 each.

Been looking forward to this one since Hold the Dark dropped. Easy preorder with the release of the new single, already can't wait.

Did you see the latest image off their IG? Admittedly the colorway is a bit confusing, but its a 2xLP! My best guess would be that it is a baby blue / pink smash. (Image Cropped from their IG Post)

Yep! 32 and some change

I'm hearing a little bit of Gates. Got the DW version and the Newbury.

That's the one I got. I thought I remembered it being advertised as a different color, but just slapped it on the turntable. Sounds good.

Got shipping notification for Good Riddance this morning. STOKED!

The PO is up with link in the first post. I believe this record is gonna be a banger. Fans of anything post-rock and atmospheric melodic stuff will like this. Plus can’t go wrong with releases under DW.

I'm so fucking here for this

Holy. Shit. I can't think of a release recently that I have been more excited for.

Now, they send me this email... "What we just sent out about thse being cancelled was wrong. Our distributor said "they were cancelled" and they meant our orders, but we though they meant the items. I will reopen your order for the Church of Misery LP and we will hopefully have them in 5 days or so. Chad " Seems like Chad needs some coffee this morning.

Before I started driving my wife's car a couple of months ago (we got an SUV for kid toting) I was driving an older Honda that had FM and CD; no AUX or bluetooth. I would put bootlegs and burned CD's in there in a "cake box" spindle. After a couple listens I put them back in the spindle upside down and blindly grabbed a rightside up one. Once they were all upside down I reversed the process. If anything even remotely skipped I pulled it out when it was done (or done randomizing if it was a burned mix) and pitch them. Most of the random mixes were generated from pulling tracks into an iTunes playlist titled by the date that I started compiling it. Every once in a while I'd make a mix strictly or an artist because I was really feeling it at the time. I will buy a must have album on CD at goodwill out of principle though. I usually give it to someone.

after what we learned on this one, don't know how it's possible without a repeat of this fiasco. the only thing we can think of is a kickstarter type deal for the full amount of the license where if it doesn't fund, it doesn't happen, and nobody is charged until we know the full amount can be handed to the rights owners (which when people see what that amount is will maybe stop giving tragic hero a hard time and realize that they were absolutely bonkers to put their necks on the line to even do funeral in the first place) - hint, the license (not the pressing, the license) is more than was spent to actually make either record in the first place.

I may be biased since I went through all the hassle of having the new master done, but I think it sounds great. We had to have this pressed at GZ in the czech republic which I am not a fan of. I have never liked the Direct to Metal cutting they do there and while they DO accept lacquers we had 2 different lacquer cutters refuse to do it if GZ was pressing, so... it was a bit stressful for us. This record is technically about 4 minutes too long to comfortably put on one piece of vinyl without some fidelity problems. we lucked out in that the song that was going to suffer the most "lesser lights of heaven" being at the end of side 1 has almost no low end in it anyway and is KIND of blown out a bit on the original album. so inner groove distortion on any song, THAT was the one to have it happen, so without even shifting songs around, the song that would have suffered the most from a long cut is the song that kind of didn't matter if it did because, it kind of sounds like that anyway. the irony is, the very things we don't like about what the DMM cutting process were already built into the record anyway (mostly the lack of Bass frequencies and a little to much brightness on the top end) . So we didn't lose anything by using this process, there is a distinct lack of low end on the record and the high end is bright, so nothing changed. DMM DOES allow a longer/louder cut which can be more forgiving on the Inner Grooves, and that was what we needed more. overall (and i can say this objectively since i am not ON the album) i think this master sounds WAY better than the CD/Digital versions, there is actually a lot more clarity to everything without sounding drastically different, and when it matters, the quiet parts really get quiet to allow the loud parts to jump out more. -- the rest of the guys all commented on this when they heard the vinyl so it's not just me.

I order everything Alexisonfire & City and Colour from Dine Alone. It always comes out to be cheaper than their US stores and I trust Dine Alone with both shipping AND customer service. Also, I think they might recognize my name by now because it seems like they always send me the cool shit 👍

Amazon for me as well
