Bought both the moment I got the email earlier - will have to dig my cassette player out of the closet to spin the tape but am certainly stoked to check it out. As someone who got into them in like late ‘98 right before they imploded I just have to say that I’m beyond excited to *finally* get to see them live this year. Have seen SM a couple times but to see some of my favorite songs played live after 20+ years is a damn dream.

Awesome, hope you were able to get through. I got a paypal confirmation but that's it so far.

Oh dang, that just happened. I ordered when they went up so it was up a few minutes ago. EDIT - looks to be loading again.

These are up now: https://clevereaglerecords.limitedrun.com/products/724037-yuragi-for-you-adroit-it-but-soft-12-clear-vinyl https://clevereaglerecords.limitedrun.com/products/724041-yuragi-still-dreaming-still-deafening-12-black-vinyl

Honestly i hated Elden Beast the most. Way too many (almost un-dodge-able at times) AoE attacks with *constant* jumping around a huge arena that drains your stamina just travelling to get 1-2 good hits + a *huge* health pool. Having to beat him during journey 2 and 3 was misery.

Yup, no splint or anything for a couple weeks now, and mostly back to full strength. And totally fair on the speed of some bosses. Only way I beat Malenia was with a +25 Katana + Seppuku and speed bleeding her to death. I certainly want to hit all the bosses again with whatever build i finalize, but some certainly are *speedy*. Malekith was probably the toughest for me even with the dex build, as he just uses so damn much of his arena and is so damn quick.

I'm disappointed with sorcery so far myself - i might respec to a pure strength / great club-smash build here soon and just go and clobber the shit out everything instead. I'd have easily clocked 100 hours in two weeks but i broke my wrist three days after release and it took 5 weeks for me to get back to being able to play unencumbered.

I saw them a couple years back at a ~150 capacity sold out show and they were an absolute blast. Walked out completely drenched in sweat high on music and life. (probably a little drunk as well)

Update - I didn’t even make it to the next day and made an astrologer that evening (I was a dex build my first run through) and have been loving my new run…

We watched See For Me on Shudder last night and really enjoyed it. About two thirds of the way through my wife said to me “this is very stressful” and I honestly asked how she expected *anything* different from the two line summary of the film. She said she didn’t know, she just expected it to be “kind of dumb” 😂 - its worth a watch; it positively flew through its 90 minute runtime for me.

Buying all three from Norman + paying the extra £5 for tracked *still* cost me £10 less than buying from Ride directly. (also, these are pricey and I know Norman is solid/dependable in shipping stuff to me and getting it here unharmed; Ride might be perfectly fine as well but I don't want to find out different here in like 12 months...)

Their (RT NYC) mark-up was pretty crazy. I get that it was an import but damn.

Yeah, my order from the UK is basically the same price as rough trade NY so I’m just leaving it alone.

Yeah, I spent the whole day intermittently checking my email / Reddit expecting to start seeing the flood of US shops listing it.

Who knows if this is correct (and even if it is it doesn’t mean it won’t change), but the BV article about these from today states: “Unfortunately these Wichita reissues are UK only, but their web store does ship to North America.” https://www.brooklynvegan.com/ride-detail-vinyl-reissues-of-nowhere-going-blank-again-and-first-4-eps/ i was going to wait but I went ahead and just ate the higher shipping.

After 110 hours I finished up my journey 3 on Elden Ring and the platinum trophy this afternoon. Despite some minor quibbles (firmly looking at the last boss) it’s definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played and I’m already thinking about starting a whole new character tomorrow 😂

When I saw him he played one Centaur song (+ one cover song). Otherwise all new solo stuff. I loved getting to see him in that setting and to meet/chat with him a bit, just a great opportunity.

I'm honestly in awe of how great Everything Everywhere All At Once was, positively dumbfounded. I immediately told every one of my friends that they should see it with no hesitation. It's stunningly great, and I genuinely thought seeing it in the theater only made it better - it's *really* funny and being in a crowd collectively losing their shit only made it all the more enjoyable. I saw that X is going on demand, so now I'm trying to figure out if I want to drop the $20 on seeing it now or just wait a month or so to where I can rent it for more like $6... I might drop the extra cash because I want to see it a great deal.

Only related as bunch of A24 stuff gets discussed here, but any of you catch Everything Everywhere All At Once yet? I'm not sure I've got enough hyperboles to state how much I loved it; I walked out of the theater positively floating with glee once it was done.

Yeah, he did right at the outset; even indicated he wanted to wait for the sale just due to production delays with the vinyl.

This is basically what i've read as well. Even via nefarious means i've yet to find an actual unedited version of this, which is a bummer. I *do* need to watch this - i skipped last time shudder had it up - but i'm less exicted for it vs if it was the original version.

that's a cool-ass alternate cover. had to grab one, even if I've already got another copy coming my way.

My buddy couldn’t swing a movie tonight so I’m likely stuck waiting to watch X at home 🤷‍♂️ Friday night we watched Prevenge on Shudder which was an entertaining enough black comedy, and we watched You Are Not My Mother last night which was a solid Irish horror flick made better by a couple strong performances from the two leads.

Spiritualized and Charli XCX and Blushing all in the next three weeks!
