Screw it, tired of scouring so I picked up one from Spun Out. Fingers crossed on the post treating it nicely getting over here…

hell yeah! thanks so much, grabbed a copy of each.

No worries at all! Appreciate the help and hopefully I can grab one on Monday.

Thank you! Looks like they’re not offering anything until Monday though (I get a pop up when attempting to check out); I’ve got ‘em carted and will check again on Monday.

Dang, was unaware there were two Bardo Pond releases - anyone know of any in stock ones anywhere?

Is the deluxe editions of Ocean Songs just not on Discogs yet or am I just being exceptionally dense? Wouldn't mind getting a copy of that.

Got both Brainiac releases from Newbury and that’s me sorted for this year.

-nvm lol - post above me for some reason didn’t load the first time I pulled up the thread.

Thanks! Sucks paying like $8.50 postage on a $15 record, but it's not too much more than most places; they just don't seem to use USPS at all? Or if they do it's the really expensive 2 day option? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, I like it better as well 😐

Huh, fair enough. Wonder if they just let the second option go live sooner than they wanted? Oh well, glad to have a copy (eventually) coming my way, hope I don’t materially like the second version more than the first, though I rarely care much.

Not showing up for me either - but the URL basically matches the description of the previously posted (now sold out) one: "red-blue-double-gate-fold-vinyl" (newer / not working URL); "RED / BLUE DOUBLE GATE FOLD VINYL" (header / product description of the sold out vinyl). So it could have just been an error on the website?

They seem to have also adjusted the edition to 235 vs 250 on the product page. Either way, ordered!

Damn. I only recently started picking up vinyl again (after like 8 or so years) so I completely missed all the 20th anniversary stuff.

Would be great to get a repress of Rocket from the Crypt’s Group Sounds or Live From Camp XRay.

Oh damn, i'm glad i clicked the link and saw that Cure for Pain reissue; very much need a copy of that and was completely unaware of the pre-order for it.

That's weird, I picked up the 2 Pup LPs and totally picked media mail. Shipping was like $6.

Looking for recommendations for PS4 games. I like RPGs and 3rd/1st person games with RPG elements - really like games with either a focus on exploration or at least some sort of worldbuilding that lends itself to exploration. Games I've played that I really enjoyed: SoulsBorne games; Witcher 3; everything Final Fantasy; new Mass Effect (yes, I actually liked it); Nioh; Persona 5; Fallout 3/4 (liked 4 less than 3, but love just ambling around the wasteland). What's good that I'm overlooking in this vein? Need something new to play.

Yeah, BL2 is always a good time. And your comments around the pre-sequel are spot on: it's still a BL game, but it's just "off" enough that I never could muster the interest to finish it. Would love to see a BL3 announcement. Cannot wait until FFXII tomorrow.

Slowly working through my game backlog (which will only be put back on hold next week when Final Fantasy XII comes out). Finished the last Deus Ex game. Really enjoyed it, but thought the general difficulty really spiked for the last couple sections, which made it a bit of a grind to get through. Played the newest Mass Effect and really enjoyed it. Can certainly see how a lot of the sidequests are a bore/grind, I played some of them but mostly just focused on story missions. Hoping to finish up Witcher 3 tonight (I hit the "are you sure you want to continue? after this point some story missions will not be available" message like three nights ago; thought I was nearing the end, but that was probably 6-7 hours of game play ago) - really, really great game; not sure if I'll pick up the DLC now, only because I'm not sure if I'll have time to play it completely between now and next Tuesday. Still have Nioh (unopened), Persona 5 (20 hours in), Final Fantasy XV DLC, and a couple of Atlus PS4 games still to play.

I am - only about 5 hours in though. Has a Final Fantasy XII vibe to me so far (I consider that to be a really good thing).

Looking to get rid of my stereo equipment, hoping to sell it locally (in the Dallas/Ft Worth area) mostly just due to weight/fragility of equipment and shipping. Obviously at least one of these could be posted pretty easily, just most are worrisome to me. Priced to sell, hit me up if you're interested and we'll schedule a meet-up. Pics upon request - everything is in perfect working order; but I don't have the original packaging or manuals any more.

Got shipping confirmation on my PS4 Pro. So happy I'll be able to play video games again soon.

I obsessively flip through all used books that I buy for that very purpose. Especially since I buy a ton of experimental stuff; I hate coming across someone else's asinine notes and underlines. Let's be honest, for most of that stuff you're not going to be insightful until the second read, but everyone dives in like they're some genius who is going to crack the code by page 20.
