one of my best friends met a girl on MC. they dated for a bit and then got married and now they have more kids than I can count. Guess it was good occassionally, right?

Madie - have yr tapes set aside, just been super busy prepping up things for some releases we're doing for rsd. You've not been forgotten!

Going to Permanent the night before in hopes of getting a jump on the majority of the few things I want. Then on Saturday, going to Reckless by 10 to get anything I didn't get the night before at P-Rex, before going to the Numero Pop Up shop at Comfort Station in Logan Square and then finally going over to Saki on Fullerton to check out the instore that Radar Eyes are playing along with some other bands. Notes and Bolts will be releasing a Radar Eyes flexi disc that day with Saki getting 100 copies in exclusive packaging, while the other shops will get the normal ones. We'll also be giving Reckless two exclusives - 100 clear copies of the new Architecture 7" we just got back from the plant, as well as a ltd run (40 copies) lathe 7" featuring Le Tour, one of the Reckless house bands.

Saw this last night. Still processing. Only thing that I think I have as a complaint is that it didn't really have any of the humor (whether intentional or not) of the originals. Aside from that, a really fun watch.

Good for you. http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?pagenum=1&searchtext=fever+to+tell&incldescr=&sortord=ddate&thumbs=&currsel= You'll notice that aside from a very recent one where someone was desperate, this record hasn't gone over $100 in the past year. and really? You're taking those extraneously high listings on Amazon seriously? Come on...

How was anyone rude in this thread? Calm down. and yeah, honestly, $150 is pretty crazy for that record. I scored a copy of it for $30 a few years ago (and side note to that - the picture disc ALSO came housed in the jacket and not just the clear plastic). If people see that a bad deal is being tossed out, they're gonna call it. Deal with that.

was thinking about this thread. Have lost 12 pounds in the last three weeks. Pretty stoked to keep going with my own weight loss plan. How you been doing, Loveless?

homestly, it IS kind of all over the place. Will stick it out due to the brand, but not much else.

lots of coldwave and minimal synth type stuff. Listening to The Soft Moon's first LP right now. Lots of stuff on Sublime Frequencies - weirdo foreign comps and Bollywood compilations. Night time is meant to be weird.

Dude; Carl in the later issues, in particular the most recent ones. Good grief - he's the brassiest character in the entire story.

I've been pretty consistent with acting as an apologist for the television deviations from the comics - but the Andrea killing is a bit too much even for me. Given that's she's STILL alive in the comics even now, I feel like they could have done more with her in the show and probably just offed her to pander to the loudly yelling voices of dissent in the viewership who hated her. As for the Governor - I agree with the notion that he's not much of a threat at this point, unless he mobilizes a whole new crew of people - and even then, Martinez and the other lackey would probably wise them to the possibility that they could be gunned down in a fit of anger at any moment. I keep trying to rationalize that this was a good finale, but I honestly just can't...

and we'll never have to.

^ in Lakeview? Good luck.

I hate bumping twice in one day, but figured this was slightly relevant. If you want a copy of the Disappears lathe, you should act fast - we put it up at noon and it's already sold 50 out of the 100 copies we're making for it. The rest probably won't be around for much longer.

20 minutes left for lathe #5! After that it'll be promptly replaced by lathe #6, featuring Chicago titans, Disappears: http://notesandbolts.bigcartel.com/product/disappears-lathe-7

i consistently run out of all of my likes in this thread.

^ that was better worded and what I was trying to convey a couple of pages back. There are times where I find myself laughing at some of his posts and finding him a fairly enjoyable presence. It's the fortune cookie shit being posted repetetively that gets me irritated. I'm not so old that I don't remember what message boards were like when I was his age - I'm sure most of us have been on forums for as far back as we can remember. Restraint is key, sometimes, though.

I know that we're not supposed to judge each other in this thread; but jesus, man. Coming in here after someone says some pretty serious stuff and following it with a line of faux philosophical fluff - which I've seen Eric do multiple times now - doesn't seem like a means to actually understand the person being spoken to. It just seems more like a bid for attention, to be seen as deep. It's okay to not have something to say in response to every person putting something up here that has more meaning than spilling a milk bag all over themselves during lunch break.

alright, Confucius. Dial it down.

5:32 on the time stamp. You getting some internet done before the school bus comes, buddy?

^ wanted so badly to say something about going to a physical place (NOT an HT location, either!), but it seemed so pointless, given the direction this thread has taken.

and multiples of only three or four variants?! perhaps he's running a 'distro'

just wasted five minutes clicking through tracks on Spotify. I really want the five minutes back I wasted and the twenty seconds I took to type this.

just got done watching this and while I like it, there are definitely some things they could iron out. It seems that the writers are really trying to drive in that this is a modern setting - despite the constant retro throwbacks; in a house that's standing in 2013, the previous tenant (crazy rape guy) didn't think to update even the fridge, and opted to keep the vintage 60's one? The constant clicking of the iPhones, so much so that it almost pulls you out of the story - "oh, hey! Norman Bates can text!" jars at odds with Norma's Mad Men-esque dresses. I get that they're building on the notion of periods clashing, but it more feels like sloppy writing with fan boys going "See? This is modern! But the source material is over 60 years old! See? SEE?! Aren't we clever?" I get the Oedipal undercurrent, too; but it's so overdone that it causes straight up discomfort to watch versus what they were probably going for in wanting to make the audience cringe. We get it. They only have eyes for each other. They could stand to dial it down a bit and still wouldn't lose the point. Those things aside, I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes.

from what I can tell, I can't find one. Seems like this is a record fair tour? https://www.facebook.com/events/210305902427958/?fref=ts
