https://slowcrush.bigcartel.com/product/rainbow-splatter-vinyl-on-transparent-sky-blue I don't need a second copy but this variant has me wanting a second copy "Rainbow splatter vinyl on transparent sky blue 5th press on our new labels Church Road records and Quiet Panic records. New spotgloss sleeves, new logo on spine, new labels, different insert. Limited to 500"

That's who I ordered from but I didn't get a download. Maybe if you order a record and then email them they might be able to hook you up.

Shoot me an offer. https://www.discogs.com/release/14417791-Kazumi-Totaka-Shinobu-Tanaka-Luigis-Mansion-Original-Soundtrack

"Big Smile" is in the new season of Letterkenny (S10 E5 "Vid Vok") during a fight song. So sick.

Most social media posts seem to be coming from UK/EU. I ordered from Quiet Panic and it hasn't shipped so I assume they're on their way to the US.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Somewhere-Nowhere/301578465? Kind of a weird listing but it works. I would say it's worth it from Walmart and might even be a little cheaper after shipping than Diggers was (assuming you're ordering in the US).

You can buy it on Walmart, Amazon, or grooves-inc.com . There's probably other stores that have it in stock as well.

I didn't expect this at all

2022 should be pretty crazy for Iodine. I'm really excited to see what's coming, especially from Jeromes Dream.

They have but for some reason they're all outside North America. I'm still waiting for T&S to get a US distro.

I've been saying for years labels and bands need to drop Merchnow but they won't. There are so many other great distributors and merch stores that would do a better job. Merchnow has screwed me countless times.

Merchnow strikes again. Shouldn't they have emailed you first?

The improvement from December 2020 to December 2021 is astronomical. Good job USPS. My old town can't figure out how to forward my mail but otherwise, good job.

Masked Intruder's 2011 demo. I'm starting to wonder if they're coming back. I saw them 4 times so no regrets if they don't.

Monday I saw Citizen, Drug Church, Glitterer and Floating Room. FR and Glitterer were pretty good. Drug Church blew away everyone. They're tighter than ever. Last time I saw them was 2017 and they're insanely good live. I'd say even better than the recordings. Citizen wasn't sounding too good. I saw them during Youth and EIGTH album cycles and enjoyed them live but they sounded kind of weak and lifeless. Drum parts were different live. The brothers didn't seem that into it. Maybe COVID is getting to some touring artists. The tour actually didn't finish due to positive cases, which I saw happen with a few tours last week. Last night I saw Lawrence and they were really good and play as an 8 piece band. Both were at TLA in Philly which is definitely one of the worst venues. They're still overcrowding and it's pretty uncomfortable. I guess they couldn't afford to turn the AC on for a couple hours for 2 shows that we're almost sold out. /s The only good thing is vaccine cards/negative tests are required and you have to wear a mask at all times. But that place definitely sells more tickets than fire code should allow which is really frustrating.

I would think kids would love the "BOOM BOOM BOOM" part of TLC. Speaking of TLC...

I saw Ned play a show as Glitterer Monday night as a 4-piece band. Ben was playing drums for Citizen at the same show. No idea what Jamie and Shane are doing.

10th anniversary edition. Art is so cool. https://store.mute.com/browse/m83/products/m83-hurry-up-were-dreaming-10th-anniversary-ltd-ed-orange-vinyl https://store.ilovem83.com/products/hurry-up-were-dreaming-10th-anniversary-limited-edition-ornage-vinyl-m83 "Alongside the video launch, M83 is pleased to announce a limited 10th anniversary transparent orange vinyl edition of Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. This new pressing showcases cover artwork captured once again by Anouck Bertin. The distinct concept of the 2011 album cover is rooted in Robert Plutchik’s wheel of emotions and childhood. With this new artwork, the album matures into adolescence with a warm color palette utilizing yellows, oranges, soft reds, and blush. The original cover stars, Kimona and Cormac, return to a revamped imagining of the now-iconic mise-en-scène. The abundant stuffed animals in the initial cover art have now been reduced in number and replaced by totems of one’s teenage years: sports memorabilia, vinyl records, and scientific models. The limited 10th anniversary vinyl edition will be available April 15."
