Oh, maybe my question wasn't so dumb...

Guess what guys? A year ago I sold my tour copy of It Never Goes Out on eBay. Guess who bought it? Martin Shkreli.

Well maybe I should have clarified. I've never ordered from tiny engine before so I should have asked, would that be something they would/have done before. Thanks for pointing out my mistake captainEdit: andrewmadore, there is a thread that you can share your hurt feelings in.

I haven't read every post in this thread yet but wanted to make a few things clear.
 
- When I defended the band on Tumblr, I was referring to their shit talking of Pitchfork. Should I have been defending them at all? Definitely not. I had never (and still have never) seen the band say the word "faggot" or post anything transphobic until last night. That doesn't excuse the other stupid and offensive things they have said, but at one point in my life I felt that we had so many bands, and worked with so many individual people, that it was fundamentally impossible for everyone to have opinions in line with my own. This was a very naive and even harmful outlook to have. I realized that is not the way to approach these sort of situations and that as soon as anyone feels unsafe, marginalized, disrespected, threatened, or unaccepted, that whatever is happening is not ok. 
 
- All Whirr and Camera Shy merchandise will be removed from our store, we're working on it. 
 
- This is not a PR stunt. We are not dropping them to save face. We are not ceasing to work with them because of the hate we got on twitter, we simply hadn't seen the bands tweets yet until we were notified by the general public. We would have made this exact decision on our own, although the thousands of people tweeting at us definitely made it happen faster. 
 
If you have any questions, comments, or simply want to talk about this with me, please feel free to email me. [email protected]. I will respond to everyone so don't feel that your time may be wasted.
Thank you.

this is the first and only time i'll ever chime in on this issue, but as a trans woman, and to put it lightly, fuck this band

Bumping this thread just cuz there's a shitload of hilarity tonight in Whirr's Twitter. They're trolling all and everyone and so many panties getting twisted up.

I hope everyone looking for it manages to get a copy. Echoing what others have said in this thread, the record is very very good. Not quite DSU good for me, but very close.
It's like what Trick was to Rules. Slightly weirder and much colder in atmosphere. Kicker, Thorns, Bright Boy and Bug are easily some of his best tunes to date.
Really bummed about his lack of a Boston date for his upcoming tour. I was hoping he'd come back to Cuisine En Locale.

chris Z took a line that someone in Shoppers wrote pertaining to their ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP and quoted it directly, told them "fuck that", named the song Shoppers Beef & released it to tens of thousands of people.

his interpretation of the line & whether or not people think it's right or wrong isn't the real problem.  the problem is that, without an understanding of the context of the line, chris felt like it was his place to take something personal and painful to someone, remove it from its context, mutilate it & use it to call that artist out (pretty much directly) on being racist.
 
there were a million and one ways for chris Z to make a statement on why he feels the trope of good = light, bad = dark is racist. the fact that he chose to take a line in one particular song relating to the abuse someone felt at the hands of someone else (without even bothering to understand the context of that line before using it as a platform for his argument) is fucked up.
 
guy sucks.

looking to unload this, mint condition. looking for $70ppd. given prices on the bay, i think this is a fair price. can get this out monday.

To me, cheap 7"s means 10 for a nickel. Rather spend my coins on war bonds and a 3 piece suit from Sears and Roebucks.
