Ross was a guest on a podcast called So You Did A Thing to discuss the new SPICE record and towards the end of the ep he mentioned these new Ceremony songs as just being a single and made no mention about another Ceremony full length. Kind of a bummer but will gladly take two new songs from this band anytime.

I pre-ordered mine on https://www.endofanear.com/

And just heard back, my bid did not make the cut (pun intended). Final minimum bid prices was $5,000 each.

Color me intrigued. I can’t access that because of timezone differences – and am too busy to fiddle with my VPN at the moment – but out of curiosity, is it a single + b-side or single(s) for a new album? The latter doesn’t make much sense but I’d still like to keep just a pinch of optimism if I can.

Have a cigar, you're gonna go far

I threw my copy on while packing for a trip and while I wasn't listening intently I did notice that it sounded kinda bad, like a Bluetooth speaker that's battery is about to start dying. My wife insisted it sounded fine. Haven't had a chance to dig into it more but hopefully it's just a dirty record and this pressing isn't messed up. The digital audio sounds great.

Definitely need Year Of The Rabbit!! It has been on the top of my list for a while alongside US pressings of both Juno (Seattle) albums.

Yeah Yeah Yeah is a jam. not buying this, but way better than anything i expected from Lit in 2021.

For the Grivo fans in the states, deathwish found some green/cream/black Starburst if you want a fancy color copy without global shipping. https://deathwishinc.com/products/grivo-omit

I put in a bid...but I'm sure hype boys will prop that price up way higher than my pocket book. I saw Kaws post one on his instagram yesterday in hand.

Pink Floyd anyone?

Y'all, It's happening! A deal has been struck and I thank lbw87 so much for being willing to part with this! I'll post some goofy photos once it's back home! Thank you all for tuning in and putting out the word. I cannot believe this is actually happening.

Very interesting topic that I'll bite on. Started collecting in earnest around 2009 - 2010, was on dead format before here, which was a helpful community. VC is as well. Anyway, around 1500+ in the collection, with a bulk buy or two in the wings for further sifting. Mostly crap I don't want much. Last year I gained the luxury of space, which is a big deal with records, as we all know. Was living in a NYC apartment and hadn't much more room for the collection. Family and I moved out of the apt and bought a house in another state, with a room I could have all the records in without an issue. Before the move last summer I stumbled across this article (https://blog.discogs.com/en/listen-to-your-record-collection-a-to-z/) on discogs about listening to your collection alphabetically from A-Z. I found it pretty intriguing and had planned on doing it when the year started. January 1 came around I was hesitant to start, but I finally did on 1/4 and it has been great so far. For me doing this serves the purpose of five things: 1. Further organizing and alphabetizing 2. Editing out pieces I may no longer want 3. Listing the above on discogs or elsewhere to sell 4. Seeing what needs cleaning and new inner sleeves. 5. Cracking open a few sealed pieces I've been sitting on for too long When we were moving, as I was packing the records (not fun!!) I was able to organize and did much more cataloging on discogs, but even now I'm finding things I didn't know I had. I also work from home (until my NYC company says we have to be back in the office, then who knows), so am able to listen at least 6-7 hours a day, so hopefully by years end, I'll have finished. I do make exception for listening outside of the A-Z and jazz is one of the those, as well as new stuff I get, just to make sure the copy is okay, etc. But yeah, it's fun and a slog some days. Slog being when I get to LZ II that I have about twenty copies of or Bob Dylan, who I'm not the biggest fan of, but felt compelled to buy some here and there and now there are about thirty Dylan records to get through. If I desperately need to hear something, I'll resort to a CD or streaming, again outside of the A-Z. I'll check in late in the year and see if this was worth the effort.
