From what I was told, Nicole was very abusive.

A STATEMENT FROM KATIE DVORAK and THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE & I AM NO LONGER AFRAID TO DIE: In light of all of the recent call-outs that have been made against abusers in the music community, there has been a resurgence of people wanting to know what happened with our ex guitarist, who we kicked out last year. I have been trying to avoid making a public statement not for her sake, but for my own. My life isn't anyone else's business if I don't want it to be, and absolutely no one is entitled to details about my personal life that I don't want to give out. I understand that people want to know why they should avoid any one person, or that people are just straight up curious, but I refuse to put myself in a position that I don't want to be in just to satiate the wants of strangers. - Katie

I assume with everything going on regarding them getting kicked from the band and a bunch of bands dropping from the label they won't be doing too much now.

The Max Bemis cover is awful.

The first time they were sent out in batches of three. IDK how many they've put out so far this year. Also, I know a lot of stuff have be going on surrounding Derrick lately and that might be part of it.

I mean, it does say "double-sided insert"

Go back a page and you can see screenshots from Enjoy The Ride where they posted pictures of the actual records

You know, I didn't even realize it when I clicked on the video. I was too prepared for the cringe that was about to happen.

I know I'm late to the party, but oh lordy was this a doozy to watch. My girlfriend and I took bets on which albums she would put out with the description she gave before it. I knew the Lana Del Rey would definitely be in there somewhere.

I can send anyone the .wav files if they want to hear how it sounds (minus the "remastering" of it)

They're up btw.

Ross said they couldn't find high-res images of the originals. (Sorry for posting a bunch - I've been excited for this since 2014 when Casey announced it LOL)

Livin' th Dream & Dirty Laundry

The one used is the re-released version with the added tracks. Two of the songs weren't on the original release.

.

BTW that wasn't aimed at you personally. I was just saying that label who do large runs of just plain black and call it a "test press" is kinda lame on their part. The covers for these are neat looking.

I feel like once you go past 20 test presses, it should just be considered a normal press LOL

Release date is next Friday (March 17th) - $17.99 each Ross said that's "cheap" for the label LOL

He messaged me about it as well and sent me a bunch of pictures. All the pressings look real nice. There's four variants for each one and the test presses with alternate covers. They come with a two page insert that has all the lyrics and what looks like a message from Ben about the album. I asked about the audio. It originally came from the CDs I own, but he said the label's sound engineer cleaned up the tracks and remastered it so it sounds better. They're pressed at 45rpm. There will be bundles of all ETR web variants and test presses for sale. So Young, So Insane: (original artwork) Red w/ white swirl White w/ red / yellow splatter Red / White split w/ white / yellow splatter Red / White / Yellow split w/ blue / black splatter Party for the Grown & Sexy: (updated artwork) Clear w/ grey swirl (/300) Clear w/ beer color-in-color Red / Beer split Clear w/ green stripe down middle and white splatter (edit: if I knew how to upload pictures from mobile I would but I don't so I can't) (edit 2: bonus track on So Young, So Insane is the Max Bemis cover of Livin' th' Dream)

I'm going to be so broke. I'm going to be so broke.
