Shouldn’t there be a period in there somewhere?

Oh hey, it’s been like 2 years but the deluxe version of PS IS happening. Got to see the packaging yesterday and it looks super rad, so despite the label dragging ass hard on getting these made I’m stoked it’s finally happening. Trying to have proper info out within the next month or two.

Hahaha Post Malone fucking sucks but I'm officially a B Dosia fanboy. Kid is pulling down 450k a year with a first grade education. #inspired

there really is always some chowderhead, their opinionatedness only surpassed by ignorance, eager to trot out this gross shit, isn't there. my god.

Women have been afraid to speak up about sexual assault/harassment/abuse forever. So until millions of innocent men are harmed, "me too" has not gone too far. "Innocent until proven guilty" applies to a court of law. Where it's not uncommon for the guilty to be found innocent and vice versa. So that is irrelevant horsehit. Maynard has always been a piece of shit creep. This story is pretty believable and with the way dudes on the internet have been reacting to this, the victim was right to remain anonymous. Fuck that Blue Lives Matter shithead and his music.

Nice

Got mine today... Looks like I was lucky enough to score the "sacred" number...

Just wanted to pop by and say how sweet it feels to see the stuff bein chatted about. Sorry to the few of you whose xtra vinyl I somehow forgot, it's been a crazy coupla months, but I'm sortin it out. As to the master, my friend Will Quinnell is a badass mastering engineer who also loves W&S, and he made us a special vinyl master for this pressing. Yay music! Anyway, say hi anytime at jonahmatranga.com :) xo

major life events like not getting a specific album variant will do that to a person

This isn’t a Deafheaven thread until Gumbo comes in here and posts about how the single moved him to tears but then clarifies that he’s not gay or anything.

Why are any of you pricks complaining about the delay on this?!? One man is in charge of giving you something you want. You can fucking wait! Sometimes this board make me want to piss on strangers’ mail.

I'm being a little facetious but there's something freeing about seam splits and corner bends. I spend a lot of time reading vinyl forums and browsing Discogs and the Great Quest for Vinyl Perfection can seep it's way into my subconscious as I read about people's frustrations with imperfect jackets or sleeves. It's sort of like getting your first ding on a new car; now, you can stop worrying about getting your first ding and continue with your life. "My jacket has a seam split. Phew. Now, I can just enjoy listening to this and not care about being an archivist and collector of mint memorabilia. I AM FREE."

Throw away those 10” sleeves @tug

Here's an artist's rendering of this set.

I made my user name Jason Taint for the chorus switch over. I got banned after 1 post just for the name.

No better feeling these days than skimming through a RSD list and finding nothing I want.

They’re up on the mega mart now

This is my nomination for the general VC slogan of 2018.

First world problems.

Can confirm. 10k pressing of the green. 2.5k went to stores. 1.5k went to various upholsterers in Belgium. 1k to Outpost 31 in Antarctica. 1k to Nick Alt. 1k to the band, but they got high and lost them. 1k hidden inside used Bay City Rollers albums 750 sent on a weather balloon into space 500 to Piggly Wiggly locations in West Virginia 500 were incinerated immediately to forge a new throne for Jack The remaining 250 were pressed without a B side, So Jack will put those up as rare for $420 next week. Hope this helps.

It sounds to me (and this is probably why people are reacting so strongly) like you're looking to get into the speculative vinyl market, and I've gotta say beyond the ick factor of straight-up asking which records will be out of print soonest, it's just not a great idea in general. Collecting "limited" records for their "value" is a big gamble, and unless you're already knowledgeable and immersed in the hobby, the odds are good that you'll end up stuck with a bunch of records you don't want that you'll eventually dump for a loss. If you want to make easy money flipping stuff, there are probably safer bets out there. Now, if you're asking because you just want to own something, anything, as long as it's limited: I would honestly just take a step back and ask whether possessing rare items will actually make you happy, or if you're just passively following messages you (and all of us! since birth!) are receiving from our western capitalist society that are telling you that consumption is the highest form of cultural participation. Maybe just think about what music connects with you, and seek out a copy of that music on a format that you think is cool. Some of my favorite and most treasured records are monetarily worthless, yet they bring me more joy than records worth $100+ that I bought to fill out a collection.

Those are two of the hardest sentences I've ever had to read. Congrats to you both.

Luckyj13, fuck you. Ya know?

thanks to everyone who ordered from us, I pulled all your orders off the floor they will be packaged up tomorrow and shipped out monday. It really means a lot to me, it scored me points with our owner and helps me continue getting a paycheck doing what I love

The truest commitment to that album title.

I've finally acquired my white whale: a Jurassic Park test pressing. This rush of joy was immediately cut down by my wife and daughter as they rolled their eyes at this wonderful news. Where do I go from here? Quit the game? I suppose that'd be going out on top. But this is a mental disorder, not a hobby. This is a support group, not a message board. And the unique thing is that it's a support group where people sitting around the same circle are willing to tell you point-blank that you f/cking suck. Here's my TP tally. Anyone come across a Blair Witch yet? I suppose Halloween would be my next most-wanted but I, like with JP, won't hold my breath. Army of Darkness Back To The Future II (picture disc, scrapped pressing) Black Swan Case Of The Scorpion’s Tail Drive (Lakeshore) Drive (picture disc) Guardians of the Galaxy Hannibal Jurassic Park Jurassic World Maniac (2013) Rewind This!

Someone won a record from me on [auction site] for $4 once and instantly sent a message "YOU BETTER SHIP THIS!" all caps and all. I was definitely gonna ship it before but that annoyed me so I replied that I accidentally spilled soda all over it and if they still want me to ship it. Of course they didn't want it anymore but I was totally gonna fuck it up before I shipped it.

Definitely whatever you are

We don’t tolerate transphobic racism on this board sir.

Cut myself on this post

Shipping now. Thanks people.

The sheer ignorance in this sentence is staggering

500 Clear with Gold Splatter 1000 Olive Green 1000 Black initially (although we will keep the black in press as we do for all releases post 2015). Don't believe in limiting the black. To us the black is the main one, the other stuff is bonus. Gatefold with printed inner sleeve. No download code with this one. Also doing a reprint of the Ccamo "Praise The War Machine" shirt to bundle with it. New 24bit audio master made from the final mixes so we could get as hi-def of a cut as possible - especially since we are REALLY pushing the side limits on this one. A double was unfortunately out of the question due to the cost of getting the license for the album in the first place. The "japanese" funeral of god artwork is also included as part of the packaging (the new back cover since the original CD technically didn't have a "back". All orders will go through the zao bandcamp page and will be fulfilled by Tragic Hero Records (who we are partnering with to do this) - Pricing will be Media Mail based for the most part. As a result of Tragic Hero shipping Funeral on their own. You can still order stuff that is out now and not have to wait for your pre-order. No cross bundling of Funeral and anything else we have. prices are about 23 for Olive and Black. and 25 for the splatter.

Just snagged HDVinylCollective.com so I can flip it later, suckas.

I guess the next vinyl color is “invisible.”

Someone call theduke and make sure he is ok.

Stones studio collection for $100!!

VC is my one and only. I’d never fuck around on her.

My favorite Derek album is Derek's Dirtybirds I bought a copy in Istanbul back in '99 and I've kept it in a hand-woven silk outer sleeve ever since. It's in peak form and at the time I only payed about 16 Turkish Lira. No one even knew what vinyl was at the time - everyone was spending their Lira on Cherry Coke Slurpees and hotdogs. I had him make it out to Joe - that's not my name, but I figured when I go to flip it on ebay in a few decades there is bound to be a fan named Joe out there willing to pay a pretty penny. I had another copy way back, but I traded it around '04 for a pristine copy of Shleby's seminal classic Shlabia. Another vinyl album i'm quite proud of...

As someone who has been both dead broke and well off, I have nothing but empathy for people who are broke and no judgment on how they spend their money. That life can suck really bad and you deal with some predatory BS that zaps up whatever excess energy or cash you have, so I'm in no place to tell someone how to get through it. In my own experience, I've found it one million times easier to save money and spend smart when you have excess money coming in. When I was in my 20s and broke, I spent hundreds of dollars a year on overdraft fees (and balance minimum fees!) that I incurred from spending money on food, records, entertainment, gas, school, basically everything. It'd set me back for months and cause more late payments and more late fees. Since I've been well off, I've paid zero dollars on overdraft fees and I've been able to both save and spend smart. Why? Am I suddenly a responsible moral adult? No. It's just that now, when I make a stupid occasional mistake, there are almost zero consequences. I can accidentally spend too much on something and nothing happens. I can forget to pay something and I can easily afford the late fees. It is so so easy to offer advice like "spend less!", so I get when people say that trying to be helpful, but I have to remember to reject that impulse and instead put myself back in that headspace of being broke and offer empathy rather than admonishment. It really is a racket being broke and if people want to buy records or do things that make life suck a little less, even if it costs them more money, I say go for it.

I hate people who haven't been into a band since their first album was released and then they get into them and all of a sudden they think they're legit fans. Stupid bandwagoners!!!!

Changing your font to Comic Sans felt like an appropriate artistic decision.

I just find it hard to believe when members say everything they buy shows up damaged. My collection is larger than most and it's also around a 90/10 online/retail split. I've had 3 records get destroyed in 12 years of collecting I just don't get what the fuck is happening for the world to pick on you people.
