Seriously though, how was your Black Friday? 

Have Mercy/Somos Split Up @  Melodically Deaf 2nd Chance Store. $11.11

I know it's not $5, but I have one for sale in the Melodically Deaf 2nd Chance Store

Just received Looming - Nailbiter today.  Put it up for sale in the 2nd Chance Store, if anyone is interested.

Today I'm getting a Texas Heat in the mail. I'm swapping out a Vintage 30 for it. If you want a 16 ohm V30, hmu. Also gonna regrille the cab this weekend. Will post pics if I remember.
 
 
I had one for a little while. It's a cool little amp, but it ended up not being what I wanted. It's pretty much a one-trick pony. Takes pedals pretty well, though don't expect to keep the tone clean at high volumes. 

For those of you that will regret this when it sells out, I'll have 1 copy available in the 2nd Chance Store

^ Great list, but you're missing '68 and The Amity Affliction.
 
Definitely check out Major League's new album "There's Nothing Wrong With Me." It's nothing groundbreaking, but I love it.
 
Koji is like IIOI, but more folky, I guess? I'm not really sure how to describe him.
 
Hundredth is the fucking tits, and I don't think I've ever said that before. EPs Revolt and Resist are fantastic. I think Resist is better. It blows my mind.
 
You'd probably like Citizen and Handguns if you like TSSF, State Champs, pop punk stuff. I'm not into either one.

Discuss 2014 sub here.
 
Launching Tuesday NOVEMBER 12th. 
 

Just Surrender were amazing! They said they will be releasing If These Streets Could Talk on vinyl this year. From my town, but I still have yet to see them live.

Can't do that shipping. Will probably just wait for a distro or something. The vinyl doesn't appear to have a limited number.

Give me new Somos or give me death.

I was gonna say . . . this is, like, Vinyl 101. Would it have killed Hopeless to put this thing out on simple black wax?

It's actually a fact.

why on earth would white vinyl have the most surface noise? like what

Doesn't White vinyl have the most surface noise..... ? lol

It's been one year since I got the vinyl bug and it doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. Right away I could see my spending getting out of hand and we had just started the Dave Ramsey budget plan. This of course made things tricky but it made me very careful what I buy, and more importantly how I buy.
I discovered Discogs pretty quickly and found out it was very easy to set up and sell from. Each week I'd come home with a few garage sale scores to list for sale. As an Amazon Prime member, I not only learned how to search for bargain LP's, I made sure I ordered one at a time so I could keep the packing material (never once have I purchase a shipping box). 
Another help was buying two copies of any limited/variant editions and selling one to basically pay for my copy or at least make it very cheap.
All in all it's gone pretty well and I've tracked all my purchases/sales in the "You Need A Budget" (YNAB) app on my iPhone. Since last June, my out of pocket expense is about $800 and I've got about 400 records. The other good news is I just finished logging them all in Discogs and according to recent sale info, my collection at the low end is at $3400 on the low end and $9500 on the high. Anything used I own is VG+ or better and of course the new stuff is all NM.  While I'm a bit over budget on a monthly basis overall since last June, I've still managed to get a heck of a collection for a relatively low outlay.

Man. Two weeks gone from this damn place...I see someone mention T-Swizzle and I'm all like...
 

 
And then I see the shitstorm that this thread is and how we've been trolled...
 
Now I'm all like...
 

Well...uh... I am pretty stoked on the tab book. They're made to order which is neat, so it should always be available unlike the other one.

They sucked before the Tumblr stuff. They ripped off a ton of bands.

Just got this in the mail today.... I had no idea I pre-ordered this album. I have the 180g black that I guess I'll auction on Ebay later unless some people send me some offers

Got my bundle in today. Here are pics of the half n' half variant. The gatefold is super nice.

Was up stairs doing some cleaning and got to spend some time with these. Need to start playing more than I do again. Ibanez (which I dont play anymore due to the signature), acoustic/electric Ovation, and a spalted maple Dean ML. Line 6 spider 3 app off to the side...

Finally got a Squier Bass VI! These things are incredible.
 
edit: I have no idea what happened to the picture quality on this one. I'll post a better picture later.

Finally got this thing back together earlier this year after having to do some long overdue major repairs (new PU, pots, rewire, re-shield control cavity and so on).  Mid-90s Zon Sonus. Unlined Fretless, Custom top, G&L MFD, wired passive with only a volume pot.  I bought this from Marc Hudson (Rancho Recordo...) around '97 or so.  The one instrument I will never, ever part with.
