When asked how his career would be regarded if he ever retired, Albini told The Guardian, “I don’t give a shit. I’m doing it, and that’s what matters to me—the fact that I get to keep doing it. That’s the whole basis of it. I was doing it yesterday, and I’m gonna do it tomorrow, and I’m gonna carry on doing it.” 🤘😥

As expected, the songs just destroyed me. I fuckin' cried as I related to both songs and how McTiernan delivers the lyrics just slayed me. Oof. Since their first release it's been just feels and emotions to a heavy sound. And that's what made me fall in love with hardcore to begin with way back in the day.

My copy showed up from Bullmoose today - just gave it a spin and goddamn these guys don’t miss. I was very concerned about the guest appearances, but neither is off putting. Fantastic record!

My favorite Ohio anecdote of all time is this: I was driving cross country with my at the time girlfriend, east to west coast. We drove straight through the middle of the country because why the fuck not, right? We're going through West Virginia (gross) and we get to the Ohio border and stop at literally the first place we see to use the bathroom. I walk in the door to this gas station bathroom and the first thing I see, not written huge or angrily - just kind of small and matter of fact, "West Virginia fucking sucks." I've chuckles to myself every time I've thought about that for the last 12 years. "Ohio: at least it's better than WV," will forever be their motto to me.

Recoiled is getting reissued for its 10 year anniversary

So my friend that worked for Capitol now works over at Interscope (Capitol had huge layoffs). So I’m trying to get some more insight into the “club”. Coincidentally she knows the dude that kinda started it. She’s only been there a month now, but I’m just gonna try to get whatever inside info she has.

Honestly, how could it not be DTR’s fault if they’re supposed to approve the tests beforehand? And I wonder what other NFG release they’re planning on releasing this year. Finally another NGCS repress? Or the first FTSTYS?

That's what it costs lol. To send a 12 oz package from the US to Canada it cost $24.80. https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=10054&ccode=CA&omil=False&dmil=False&retail=False&mdt=5%2F3%2F2024&mdz=23%3A59&m=6&dvi=%24 30&hscode=False&o=12 Plus mailing supplies. Plus somebody's wage to pack it up. Don't blame Deathwish blame the USPS/the economy. What ergs me is labels charging $20 bucks to send 3 LPS via media mail to a US address when it costs less than $5 bucks. I bought those ETID represses and it was ridiculous.

Sent an email to DTR earlier this week, and got this reply from their customer service 30 minutes ago. "Hello, I apologize for not responding earlier or reaching out preemptively, but I’ve been waiting for the responses from various parties regarding how to move forward… At this point, I’m not sure if you are aware of the issue with the pressing of New Found Glory’s “From The Screen To Your Stereo Pt. 2”, but it is missing track 3… We have reached out to all parties involved and I would like to say first that this result in faulty manufacturing is NOT the fault of New Found Glory, or of Drive Thru Records… I have been searching for a solution that frankly won’t bankrupt what we have had here. It has been a difficult year already and after personnel changes we feel that we have addressed the areas that needed more attention, and more importantly, can ensure that we won’t have the difficulties that we (and you) have been experiencing. I have been in touch with the manufacturing plant, and we are going to repress all copies of this printing of “From The Screen To Your Stereo Pt. 2”, and we will ship these out to you. Further, your order of this record will get you early access (via email) to the next release from New Found Glory that we will be pressing later this year. I know and understand that it is frustrating to wait for these to be shipped, delays in manufacturing, and then to have this happen; I assure you that it has been nothing short of a nightmare on my side and that I’m doing all that I can to try and make this right for you, the band, and all the fans" Glad they're rectifying the missing track! Just wish they shared this info proactively. I guess time will tell how this goes

Charly Bliss - Forever - Lucky Number (luckynumbermusic.com)

Yeah tbh I like it a lot. Expected otherwise from how y'all were bashing it, but I think it's great. I also really liked LP2 though so I guess that might be the crux of differing tastes here.

Well I share that opinion as well. Definitely my least favorite of the Acts for sure!! And agree about these live versions

Honestly Act III is my least favorite (which is not a very popular opinion), but I thought the live versions were way better than the studio cuts. Just the new version of Go Get Your Gun by itself makes me like the whole thing more. They’ll have to keep it going to finish out the story. Hopefully they get the Awesome Orchestra back for IV and V and then release a box set of everything.

I’m guessing you watched the Act III stream? That shit was great!

idk what y'all are on about, this song is insanely good.

I dont really care about this...but there are copies of SSTB on Amazon for <$15. Picked up a third copy...

How we feeling about the new song? Honestly, this is my favorite song so far. Sounds like vintage TSSF.

Really long and in-depth article and Interview with Nick Bassett by the same dude that wrote the Navigating cancelled bands article last year. Here we have about as complete a history or Whirr as we will probably ever see.

Hi everyone, Thought you'd enjoy a journey through Oingo Boingo's history and enduring legacy, filled with 80s music and movies. Explore the iconic band's indelible mark on pop culture, how it shaped a timeless era, and its influence on Danny Elfman's evolution into a celebrated film composer. Would love to know your thoughts 😎

Same. Good old FedEx. 3 different times from different shops I had something ship from a city that was 40 minutes away and it would travel to Northern California to Nevada, to 2-3 different east coast states, back to Nevada and then finally to Southern California. 2 weeks to go from Los Angeles to Orange County. When I called they said if their distribution center is full then it gets transferred to the next closest. Seems like a very inefficient system and makes sense to why costs are so high.

no recs but im very jealous, enjoy the trip!

Saw Orchid play a 200 cap room last night and I’m still reeling. If you’re going to any of the reunions, buckle up!

Will be 20 years in September….

My copy of home and Minor showed up from Amazon today. Not sure how these got a wider release, but I’m not complaining! Haven’t had a chance to spin it yet but have heard really good things about the pressing and mastering so far.

This.

Remastered anniversary edition of Gatecreeper's self-titled EP with bonus tracks from their early 7"s and splits: EP & Splits (10 Year Anniversary Edition) | GATECREEPER | King Of The Monsters Records (bandcamp.com)

Anyone have any suggestions I can pass along to maybe improve the process? Like how you can “skip” with VMP and get credit, instead of having to cancel, and later rejoin and possibly losing your spot? Maybe just a skip/pause feature. Also here are some photos of the Eminem release:

Not sure if it applies to this version, but the recent-ish repress from a couple years back is cut at 45rpm and sounds great, with the added bonus of sounding like Samhain at 33rpm.

This record is going to fucking rip...

I fully support this endeavor 😂 Detective Sad Heart!

I'd buy that for a dollar.... on bandcamp

TLAL said that their version is going up on May 10th. Not sure if these are supposed to be up yet.

Carly Cosgrove - The Cleanest Of Houses Are Empty Preorder: https://waxbodega.com/products/carly-cosgrove-the-cleanest-of-houses-are-empty-pre-order And also I've been listening to the new Riley! - Keep Your Cool album that came out a couple weeks ago, similar to Glocca Morra / Origami https://counterintuitiverecords.com/products/riley-keep-your-cool-pre-order

Shipping for me is 9.82, so thats pretty much 30 dollars for a single sided 7 inch? I actually love this song and have a huge soft spot for Thursday, but that's a no from me my guy.

New jam, really hope this means more incoming and not false hope like my above post from, wow, 5 years ago.

Poppy going from being a manufactured pop meme to pretty legit in the metal scene is kind of wild.

This has to be the overstatement of the year. I'm in tons of boards and lots of Facebook groups and have literally never heard of this band until you dropped them in this thread. I just checked them out. Sounds like pretty good post-rock, so thanks for introducing them.

"Kscope is thrilled to announce that throughout 2024 and into 2025 we will begin re-releasing the Oceansize catalogue, featuring their releases from 2007 onwards. Starting with a bang as an orange 12” on Record Store Day, the first release will be the EP Home & Minor, never before released on vinyl." https://kscopemusic.com/oceansize-join-kscope/

The video is a tribute to Oasis...

Guess I'm not getting that American Football record then...

Guess I’ll never get that green 420 special American Football LP2 now

They did a zine with each release. Sometimes the zine even held up shipping and caused delays they were constantly doing BOGO sales and I always wondered how that was viable. they sent out an email recently saying they were shifting distribution but outstanding orders WOULD be fulfilled. Should have seen this coming though when they pulled all inventory off the site. I will say, the releases I got from them were very nice though. Big rips.

Same. They seemed to have insane web coupons active at all times, so I’m only getting stung for like $18 and change after shipping. Still super annoying though, and I feel for anyone who has funds tied up. What a shit-show.
