New Song: Not like Turnstile you know....

New song tomorrow

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

yep. same variants everywhere even, it seems. all of these reissues have been super widely distributed. I saw one of the Panic ones with the 25th anniversary hype sticker in Barnes and Nobel, so you probably shouldn't have a hard time getting one of any of em. doesn't surprise me. they left it out of print long enough. hope they do another batch soon for everyone else's sake

My copies of CS and DTGL came yesterday. Visually very nice, haven’t listened yet.

Love it. Ready for more.

Yeah, you can pretty much find them anywhere. Amazon, local record stores, band's webstore, FBR webstore, online retailers...

He's still a beautiful man, to me.

You just needed to ask. https://instagram.com/stories/partinggiftrecords/2581752419436287359?utm_medium=share_sheet

Don’t count on it

That escalated quickly

thanks for the recommendation, it really is good. Pop but emo in all the right ways

If you haven’t listened to that Olivia Rodrigo record yet, you’re missing. It’s a a total bop. It’s very pop punk with an emphasis on pop.

Man., looking at that cover photo makes me realize how much old beeks has let himself go these last few years. Oy.

That impericon better be packaged so beautifully after charging $35 for shipping. 😭

Fomo sux...

You're right. I just ordered the clear smoke because the brown/green/red smokes are all sold out. Get this while you can!!

This Bull Moose shit has me so sad, and also angry as fuck. I've spent thousands of dollars there, including hundreds of visits to the Salem locations (new and old). Regarding the mask piece of the equation: it sounds like a large number of the Salem store staff are not yet vaccinated. I've heard tell of at least one of them that isn't and (IIRC) has to help care for their very old grandmother who cannot get vaccinated. [aside: Salem, NH is a particularly interesting place with, shall I say, special retail challenges. I know this from having worked at the Apple Store up the road from Bull Moose for a couple of years. it's right on the NH/MA border, and because NH doesn't have sales tax, people will drive to NH to save that sweet 6.25%, especially on big purchases like computers in the case of Apple, but also a lot of I'll be kind and say "frugal" peeps will go buy a ton of records at once on a Bull Moose/Newbury trip. Also a heck of a lot of people in southern NH are MA expats who wanted to move to NH for "muh freedoms" and whatnot, particularly in Salem because it's right on the highway to Boston for those people who still work in Boston but think they're being oppressed in MA (I always think this is hilarious because these people pay MA income tax but also the way higher property tax/other local taxes that make up for the fact that NH doesn't have income tax so they're actually kinda getting screwed on both ends, but again, "muh freedoms!" lol). What I'm saying that approximately 2/3 of the people shopping in Salem, which has a mall and miles of strip mall, are either raving assholes or willing to make a scene and start screaming and utterly humiliate a retail worker at the drop of a dime. it sucks ass working in that town.] So anyway, there's a more-than-acceptable number of people who go to the Salem Bull Moose and in the past year have been shitty about wearing a mask, have complained when asked to put one on, have complained about having to wait outside due to the capacity limit, etc. I've seen it firsthand every time I've gone there in the past year. There are absolutely a lot of people who will go there and say "the CDC says I don't have to wear a mask if I'm fully vaccinated and I'm fully vaccinated so I'm not wearing a mask" and will be lying about being vaccinated. It is absolutely a workplace safety issue for the many as-yet-unvaccinated workers. On top of that, the workers there have repeatedly been subject to sexual harassment, homophobic and racial harassment, and have repeatedly tried to report these things to management and have been met with pretty poor responses or ignoring the problem entirely. The Salem store was planning to stop requiring customers to wear masks as of tomorrow, Monday, May 24 (I believe NH dropped its statewide mandate a month ago, but the store had maintained their own mask policy until now). It sounds like some of the workers were talking about staging a walkout out of concern for their safety. Bull Moose released a pretty weak statement that said closing the store wasn't because of masks, but it sort of was inasmuch as it seems everyone was fired because they may have been organizing because of the mask issue (as well as the abuse issues/etc.). Oh also minimum wage in Maine (where all but 2 of the BM stores are) is $12.15 and in NH it's $7.25 and the Salem store workers absolutely get paid less than the Maine store workers do. Anyway I'm done with them forever unless some major, major, major changes happen in upper management. It sucks because they've always been so great as far as customer service goes but this shit absolutely cannot stand.

Yes I ended up with multiple copies of the Glassjaw Coloring Book album. It was pretty chaotic trying to figure out exactly what and where to buy those silly things from. With them selling out in minutes, having 120-ish different URLs to try plugging in, all with only 1 record available per URL, not getting email confirmation, different prices on different vendors. That was a shit show. Yes I sold them on ebay for going rate, about $20 dollars more than I paid. Arrest me officer. Guilt as charged. You my friend need another hobby. I thought it was weird you were keeping a close eye on my old labels Instagram and commenting on my hair choices. But now you're following my ebay account? You are a strange man. I can give you my phone number if you want to hash it. I think most people in here would prefer we keep it to fat shit.

I wouldn't exactly say my record label failed. I put out 21 records from 2009-2016, a handful of bands moved up to bigger labels. I now have 3 kids and run a full time hockey league. I don't exactly have the time or desire to put records out these days. Yeah I have dreads. Yes I am white. These are both true. The crazy thing is, I have never really had any social media. I posted the first picture of myself on my label's instagram about a month ago because I was trying to win a record in a contest. You keep an awful close eye on me for being a hater. I'm going to continue "doing me", posting in the fat threads about things that most fat collectors care about. And you continue "doing you", trolling threads, and calling folks out for their hair choices. Cool life bro.

Just got shipping confirmation on TOCS/DTGL, very excited to finally own these guys on vinyl. It has been long enough since I purchased these that when they're delivered it will feel like free record day!

Looks like new track "Watering the Well" is dropping on 5/29/21.

Gotcha. I only watched a few seconds to get the jist of it. Yeah, that kind of language was cringe. I called a buddy out for it back in the day and he started accusing me of being gay for taking offense. We were all assholes. Few of us would want to be judged years later for some of the stupid shit we went along with when we were young and dumb. 😆
