Hmm. Wonder how Nate feels about it being re-recorded. Nonetheless, definitely seeing them in DC. They still got it. 

I had that thought as well; I missed them when they were in Orlando last due to other commitments, not sure if I've got it in me to drive to Gainesville to catch them this time. 

Diary is getting re-recorded and released, PO this Friday 1/26/24

I am slowly getting back to catching as many shows & concerts as possible if and when I'm able to swing it. That is the one thing that I am not going to curb much cuz you never know if and when there'll be a next time to catch a favorite band or artist. 

 

 

This. Especially with the sad state of Florida and bands basically not coming here anymore (or at least less so than usual). 

According to my Discogs I bought less than I did in 2022, but I've noticed myself being more picky. Like others have said kids and other commitments get in the way and I find less time to sit down and actually spin a record. Spotify is king in our house currently.

What really irked me was PayPal sent an email saying they were going to hold my funds because of increased activity. It wasn't an issue to increase the threshold but still worrisome.

I'm in the process of restoring an old VW, this has happened to me a few times buying parts from private sellers in the last year. Such a pain in the ass. 

New page, new repost.

We created a hall of Fame thread at one point to archive the history @jhuluddid that survive?

It still lives 

But looks like most if not all of the links are dead.

I joined this site nearly a decade ago and even at the time I had a lot to catch up on. The oldheads from the proboard days could probably assemble a coffee table book by now.

It'd probably border on encyclopedia at this point.

Some of Travis' stylistic choices with his own drums is probably my biggest gripe. As a drummer, and one who idolized Travis growing up, it seems he decided to gloss over his signature sound quite a bit on this album. The parts themselves, for the majority of the record, are completely Barker-esque, but the production choices on the snare sound and some of the flange effects on fills really bothered me. It's not every song, but most seem so polished it sounds like programmed drums. This could also be the overuse of triggers/samples too. Idk it's probably a niche gripe, but it's one that, to me, was completely unnecessary given his track record. 

I'll back you up here, while great overall there are some tracks that are a little over-produced. 

Got an email yesterday that the Newbury version is cancelled due to production errors. 

They've put out more "new" since they broke up than in the last decade, wild.

What's with the Abercrombie & Fitch Hollister style cover art on these "limited alternate" variants? Anyone else notice that?

There's a theory on the subreddit that it's because 1989 was first played to Karlie Kloss on a tripe down the PCH. It ties around to the whole Gaylor theory. Jesus I spend too much time on Reddit. 

This got posted to SmartPunk this morning

I pre-ordered it, mainly so I don't forget.

That's just how this band works now

I'm sure they're gauging if Tom will stick around for a while this time.

Some words of wisdom, don't let FOMO take control over your spending. Only buy what you truly NEED to have on vinyl. I've accumulated way too many records over the last 8 years or so and every so often I go thru my discogs to see what records I actually want to keep. 

So much this, especially during the start of Covid when I had nothing better to do than shop for records I ended up with alot of stuff I'll probably never listen to. 

Also keep a list of your pre-orders somewhere so you don't end up buying things twice, I learned that one the hard way a few times. 

My constructive answer to the question is much less than I'd like. In college I was able to basically have a record spinning if I was awake and not in class (I worked remote in Silicon Valley all through college). Nowadays, even though I still work from home my real job requires a bit more concentration and I generally find myself just letting Spotify play in the background so there's noise in my office. 

I have bought my daughter a few records (mostly the RSD Baby Shark stuff and Disney soundtracks), those get the most playtime. Occasionally I'll prop up on the couch with a bourbon and listen to something not aimed at the average three-year-old, but getting old sucks and there aren't enough hours in the day to do that more than once or twice a month.

There are lots of knowledgeable people here, but most of us are grumpy and/ or sarcastic. Don't take it personally.

A more honest review of VC has never existed. 

On injest everything gets put into a MoFi sleeve and then in a poly outer, if they're printed inner sleeves I'll keep them, and if the plastic inner will fit I put it in the printed one, otherwise I just put them in the jacket. 

Blank white/black/whatever get recycled. 

The band hasn't even announced it yet, impressive.

I'm sure many of you have noticed an uptick in scammers on the platform in recent months.

Lots of them are mass posting copies of the Long Pond Sessions from RSD, and the live Lover, I have them both in my watch list and 60+% of my daily notifications are those two albums significantly under retail.

Might as well just get back on Reddit for selling at this point. 

Except paypal has to report too, so either way you're paying taxes on it. 

The T.V.'s haven't generally gotten multiple releases from her, at most we'll get a red one from Target.

I'm curious why you would choose to use MS Access rather than just entering your collection in Discogs, where it's associated with marketplace data and more portable.

Came to say this, Discogs has already done the hard work; all you have to do if plug your collection in.
