So, this is prolly gonna be the first time for me lining up super early (I absolutely need that Pinback repress!) - do most people really go there the night before, or will I still have a chance if I show up at 5 am? I was thinking of going to Streetlight in San Jose, since they told me they've got 5 copies of the record I want, but the record store closest to me doesn't know what they have (rasputin in concord - edit, actually pleasant hill but w.e). Any bay area natives have any experience in these stores and might know if rasputin will get the one I want and if streetlight in SJ will be super busy??

I just received my Slipknot record from VintageVinyl. I have no complaints on their behalf, but unfortunately the pressing doesn't sound very good. The tracks on the ends of the sides sound pretty distorted and fuzzy (Before I Forget suffers the most).

Did anyone pick up an extra Pinback record? I got one, but my friend didn't, and I felt bad.

Got myself a white copy, although I would have preferred pink if it was the most exclusive color, but oh well, not a big deal. Stoked to own this record, one of my all time favorite albums!

I don't think Late Registration sounds that bad. But my purple Graduation bootleg sounds terrible, side 3 skips all over the first few tracks, and side 2 has a lot of surface noise and pops.

Has anyone managed to get ahold of that acoustic bonus disc yet? I checked my local independent record store for it the other day, but they didn't have it. I can't get enough of this album and I really wanna hear those tracks!

I would do immoral things to get any of these on vinyl if they existed. I also back pokemon OST vinyl, but I doubt it would ever happen.

Just got my Graduation on purple and it's beautiful, but sides B, C and D have a lot of popping and skipping on them. Sides B and D are tolerable, but the first 2 tracks on side C are pretty much unlistenable. I just emailed them, and I'm hoping they can get me a better playing copy, cause it sounds like this issue is pretty common and they've been helping others out.

morning buuump. I'm down to haggle if you're into that.

fingers crossed for coheed

I've gained some weight and these shirts don't really fit me now, so I'm putting them up here before I toss em. All shirts are $10 shipped and are size M, except for the this time next year shirt which is a small. Prices are negotiable, especially if you want more than one. Some of the white t-shirts have a light rust stain on the inside of the collar from a necklace I used to wear, but it shouldn't show while being worn. These are very used and most of them are at least 3+ years old, so I've listed any imperfections the shirts might have under the photos (along with what brand the shirts are printed on, because people seem to care about that a lot). \ from left to right, top to bottom: Smaaaash (Earthbound, SNES) shirt from Fangamer.net on american apparel- cracked print, 2 light grease stains on front (visible in photo) Punch on Fruit of the loom This Time Next Year "big trouble in little china" rip, on fruit of the loom (i fucking love this shirt) - size small Thrice shirt on gildan (pretty sure this shirt is at least 8 years old? but it's in good shape) 1994! shirt on gildan (back has a broken VHS tape with square of opposition logo) Calculator smiths rip off, on gildan (they did a horrible job screen printing this one -- it's always looked like that, also has a small stain by the collar) Man Overboard "Rare" shirt (backprint features a crowd shot with lyrics from the song "Rare"), on Gildan Grown Ups cat shirt, on anvil - this shirt is more of a slim fit (and has a tiny hole in the front, not really visible ever) PM with any concerns or questions, thanks for looking!

I know Gospel is still available from Banquet records, but I'm located in the US and it comes to about $30 with shipping from the UK, which is a little more than I was looking to spend on it if someone else here can possibly help me with a better deal. I don't care which variants on either, I just want to listen to them! thanks!
