Am I the only one who's VERY excited for those EP's to finally get pressed by Mondo?

They should’ve just repressed The anthology.

I love early Dashboard but I have a very hard time listening to this due to the audience. Not certain if I'm purchasing. I'm torn...

if the EPs were released before unplugged, i probably would have passed on this preorder and just stuck with the EPs. but the fomo was too much. that said, the audience is pretty terrible in this record.

I’ve only seen it once or twice at most. The free shipping. I’d have to browse my purchases and see if anything rings a bell. And sure, I get your point. And I won’t deep-dive into this whole soapbox speech because I’ve probably made it 3-4 times over the years on the boards... but here in the states - as much of a privilege as it may be - it costs a little over $3.00 to ship a record. Last week I shipped 2 and they each came out to $3.33. (Should’ve bro’d out and flicked my tongue at the cashier when she rang up my total \m/). Adding additional records barely increases the cost here in the states. It’s wondrous. I don’t take it for granted. If Media Mail for a double LP is $3.33, it’s probably still $5.00 or less to ship 3 double LPs. It’s beautiful and I’m not being smarmy when I say that it’s a shame you can’t utilize that, over there. But it’s why this new trend of $7 Media Mail - for a single LP - is kind of absurd. Tape and mailers don’t cost that much. But really, it boils down to what jonrawks just said — PPD values offer 0 savings when “stacked”, even if they’re great deals to begin with. It’s dumb as hell but perception can be everything; if these were listed as “$25 + free shipping!” on Bandcamp, it would feel like a pretty sweet deal instead of getting re-charged for shipping back to back to back. That’s all it really is. The perception. Anyways, everyone can relax a little since I ended up placing an order with Kranky and giving them money for some of these. No need to buy them all at once like Jon pointed out, but I did scoop up the ones that were deals compared to available Discogs prices.

Well, it's not bait, and there's actually a problem! "There's no need to get snooty." You see the stylus? It's over ~15 degrees from where it should be. A horrible illustration of the stylus, but it gets the job done: red is where it is, green is where it should be. Now, changing the topic to something that I hope people can actually answer and not go "Troll!! Troll!!" even though it's a real question: how do I fix this crooked stylus without permanent damage? I tried pushing it gently over, but it didn't move and I didn't push harder in fear that the stylus might break.

Snagged that white.

If a $30 stylus replacement is too expensive, give up the hobby now.

You won't regret it. I paid $50 for the RSD version AND just bought this one too. First movie I fell in love with.

Sorry if someone posted about this band already but they're just so sick. Kinda halfway between the extreme metal thread and the hardcore thread but I think they fit this thread a little more. https://indisciplinarian.com/indiscsite/product/eyes-underperformer-white-vinyl/ https://indisciplinarian.com/indiscsite/product/eyes-underperformer-black-vinyl/

Rumor also is that they’re planning to add Galaxy 2 as well.

I take it they're all first-pressing variants, then?

My job is done here. You've done well young padawan.

I don't know of any for sure. It looks like Cool Splatter, Neon Magenta, Black, Hot Splatter, Neon Pink, Neon Magenta, and Orange Marble were all pressed last year. Were all of these first pressings? I'm not sure if this record even got to a second pressing yet.

Seems like i am one of the only ones who likes the crowd on this one

im stoked too, very weird that mondo is doing them though!

the cover of "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight" is probably my favorite thing Dashboard has ever done.

Same! Laced is killing it with all these Capcom releases

Wish they would press a 7 of the dashboard/rem songs.

None of the conversation was about anything being "too expensive". If anything -- it was wanting to embrace the "absolute privilege" of media mail by being accurately quoted $7 shipping instead of $20+. Sorry you live in a different country with expensive shipping. I buy records from the UK more often than from the US, so I feel your pain in that regard. If anything, the point was about cognitive dissonance: If I'm buying 4 records, and my total cost is $125 dollars - it makes more sense to me for it to be priced: Record 1: $30 Record 2: $30 Record 3: $30 Record 4: $30 Shipping: $5 Instead of: Record 1: $25 Record 2: $25 Record 3: $25 Record 4: $25 Shipping: $25 That's all anyone was ever saying.

Kranky does PPD in the prices in the webstore, so the total pricing is pretty similar per LP as it would be on their bandcamp (they charge $1 more there). I think that's the double edged sword of PPD prices, you won't be saving anything if you order 1 record or 10 records. The way the bandcamp pricing works just shows a breakdown you don't see through the webstore. I usually just order one or two things at a time from them, since there's no monetary incentive to order everything at once.

Alright, so as someone who doesn't live in the U.S. and would fucking kill for a concept such as "Media Mail" pricing, you're all fools and don't know the absolute privilege you have. Any album I purchase, whether 2x LP or not, is going to have at least $15-20 shipping tacked on. Every. Single. One. It's not uncommon for single album purchases to run up to $50-60 with shipping factored in; like the latest F.S. Blumm release. I'm hesitant to purchase a copy since it'll end up costing me well over $60 with the exchange rate and shipping. Thankfully ANOST ships via Royal Mail which is usually fairly priced, but still, shit's expensive. Also, free shipping on Bandcamp?!?!? This is news to me.

Well I guess I bought this last night... Felt like I needed that demo cd. I'm a sucker for anything Pete and Pete. The Season 3 DVD needs to be released

I really should take a picture of my collection with my etched plexy box

You are trolling us - or incredibly stupid - probably both

There’s no need to get snooty. You’re the one who joined the boards to ask this question. If you’re not trolling and you legitimately played a physically scuffed record, it’s like joining an appliance forum to ask why your washing machine sounds a little rattly after its 10th use, and speculating that it could have something to do with the occasional heavy cycle of cedar bricks and nails. And then getting defensive when others question if you’re for real? Come on.

Instant purchase.

Hell yes. https://uproxx.com/movies/welcome-to-the-blumhouse-trailer-amazon-prime/

No new news here, just wanting to express yet again how f**kin' good Oceansize were. Been listening to my ipod the last couple days, due to a road trip yesterday. Listening to it with the songs playing alphabetically and it just got to 'Amputee'. But yeah, this song crushes. Sad I never got to see them live. Still not sure they ever played in the US.

https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy/the-hitchhiker-s-guide-to-the-galaxy-the-original-albums This is what he is talking about.

And I can’t believe I passed on it because it was an extra $5........
