birdwell reacted to scottheisel in Am I the only person that still has stuff for Yu/xlovecolouredx
That guy was the most pure soul in the history of VC. (Or maybe it was just because of the language barrier.)
I hope wherever he is, he's doing well.

birdwell got a reaction from One Hundred Fifty-Two in Furnace Fest 2021
ear plugs are a solid solid choice. not that anybody gives a shit, but i had a hearing test a couple of months ago and i still have perfect hearing after as many shows as i have attended, shows i have played, and after working in music venues for years.....all because of earplugs. i still get made fun of for wearing them at 38 and i still don't give a fuck because i can hear shit that none of my friends can

birdwell got a reaction from Mars in At what point will you stop collecting?
honestly, i can't fathom i ever will. for me, personally, the joy of recorded music is that there is always new music to investigate or trackdown. between consistently getting turned on to older music that is new to me, robert pollard's refusal to slow-down, and jaimie barrier's non-stop song-writing, i can't image i will stop collecting and searching anytime. i have severely slowed down my purchasing, but i have a consistent backlog of stuff to track down and find.

mine arrived yesterday. i worked in a music distribution warehouse for a few years....i have no idea what the complaints are about the mailers. maybe mine was shipped in a different style mailer. arrived completely fine. not certain what all the whining is about

this newest Amulets album is amazing. i really loved the last full length he did and i feel like this one blows it out of the water

birdwell got a reaction from chrisapple in Glassjaw Coloring Book vinyl limited to 120 unique color combos 8/16
green/yellow/orange (inside to outside) arrived safe and sound. stoked. wish they would just do a single LP version of the Our Color Green singles. I ended up with 3 of them i think? and the GJ adapters, but i really love that ep/batch of singles.

birdwell got a reaction from Carden in PO SOON: The Bronx - VI
i feel like that argument doesn't really apply anymore. the reason punk/hardcore built it's rep on 7"s is because they were blasting out quick songs and the 7" format was a cheaper and more effective/efficient way of delivering said music. the price of 7"s has priced this out of being useful for that argument. there also used to be exclusive b-sides on 7" singles...which would also warrant their purchase. i'm older, have been collecting for 20+ years, and i do not buy that argument for the 7" in the year 2021

Hey, so funny story. I was at my local shop Sunday and finally picked up V, because I was in the same boat. Got home and realized I already had V, so now I got two.
If you want it, let me know. They also had a copy of MEB III, so I could send ya both. Can’t help with Bronx III though.

jazzed to finally have snagged a copy of this LP
one of my best friends found an original pressing at our local shop for $8 years back and gifted it to another one of our friends.
I didn't try for anything other than the color in color out of 500 and had no issues checking out at 10

I wish that instead of trying to cash in they would just make more content...

birdwell got a reaction from smailtronic in various download codes

Incredibly detailed response. Spot-on. I would have to echo the sentiment about the online community aspect of it. I don't post here often anymore either (was without a computer for years...it's still spotty if I'm being honest) but enjoy coming back in every once in a while to see if there is anything I have missed coming out. I still buy and listen to records, but I find myself purchasing more used than anything else these days. I have made a decent handful of friends off of this board that I keep in touch with in some degree or another outside of here. Some of the SXSW meetups were really fun.
