Bought my copy off the shelf on Saturday morning.

Low pressing of 775 units globally - plus, Wax Trax also held back copies to sell on their site this weekend.

As of today ~24% of the total pressing is reporting in peoples collections on Discogs.

And eBay...I've counted at least 5 so far...but hey, Capitalism, Fuck Yeah! 

I think I’m gonna cancel & re-up when Helmet is on. 

Target edition arrived today. 
 

And if you have the time, go read the Paste review of the record. It’s a bit brutal but speaks a few truths & makes good points.

Anyone know how much Malkfunkshun was retailing for?

I paid $30.98 at my store. 

Just now, rrd said:

shoot sorry, looks like they are only doing local pickup orders right now, opens up for shipping at 7pm EST

Ah OK. It’s cool. I’ll try again then & hope for best.

Thank you.

But it’s telling me can’t be shipped to my address. Huh?

My brain is mushy at the moment so I'm not sure what this is.

My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult

It sold out even before I refreshed at 8am ET. 
 

Took a gamble with Park Ave and hopefully they do have the TKK. 
 

Missed TKK. Again. Damnit. I was refreshing 1234Go! and by time I found it on the list, it was sold out. 😕 

@thischarmingham, will you have the TKK? 
 

Cuz if so, I’ll make sure to be up at 8am ET to nab it.

Forgot the Malfunkshun was number stamped. Nice

That was a pleasant surprise. 

Well. My store didn’t even get their allotted copy of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. The owner told me that if they receive it in a later shipment, he’ll hold it for me. 

But  he did have the Malfunkshun for me. So that’s cool & snagged that. 
 

I am not hating Dark Matter. Some folks are bitching and moaning that it sounds too polished and shiny. I'm kinda feeling the opposite. It feels leaner and more guitar-driven record with some nice and tasty riffs going on. And Ament's basslines are just sweet sweet on some of the songs. 

But I do feel there's a bit of an inconsistency on where the record wants to go. Does it want to rock out more like Vs. and Vitalogy or get more melodic & soft like Lightning Bolt and even the Into The Wild soundtrack?

In any event...I'm enjoying it a lot more than LB and even Gigaton. 

On initial listen...I'm feeling conflicted. There are a few moments & parts of songs where I was excited...but overall, as a total sum of its parts, the album feels middle of the road and more of the same. 

Nothing groundbreaking that would make me feel...

Well. This is my plea for help. 
 

My store is doing wristband time slots again & by the time I remembered to request, it was late and I got at 10:30am slot. What I really really really want will likely be gone if they get any.
 

So. If anyone can be on lookout and help me snag Malfunkshun and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, I’d be forever grateful. 
 

Please & thank you.

I'm betting that I will get my signed copy that I ordered a week or so ago, sooner than my copy of the new Pearl Jam album that I ordered months ago. TTPD should be here by Tuesday.

I never even saw that signed copies were available. Damnit. 

Is this RSD UK only?

Wisp now have physical copies of her Pandora EP. Vinyl and signed CD.

AVAILABLE NOW! “Boundary Problems” by Time Pieces is a sprawling and intimate love letter to Midwestern indie. This version is the special “Mind Over Matter Edition” which features colored vinyl and a deluxe, reverseboard jacket. It’s so incredibly emotive and this vinyl pressing is limited to only 105 hand-numbered copies. These are available right now and will be shipping in the next week!

I think my Target edition shipped. I’m ok with that one. 

Coke Bottle Clear of Sumac's The Healer up on their BC now...

The Healer | SUMAC (bandcamp.com)

And noticed on Thrill Jockey's site too: The Healer (thrilljockey.com)

Yeah...someone posted over on the NIN Discord that it's the same plates as the DE. 

So that answers that.

how does it sound compared to the NIN definitive version?

To be 100% honest...it sounds the same. I don't hear much of a difference. But also my Tinnitus has been acting up more than usual due to continued stress at home and work, so that's not helping much.

A friend of mine's arrived yesterday with a hole punched into the box and through the record sleeve. 

Fuuuuuuuck. 🤬 

Received the IVC edition of The Downward Spiral today. Pretty nice & solid. I like it.
