unknown pleasures

Maybe. If he wants something silly.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup?

You guys think that’s bad? I used to live by a record shop that closed at 6pm. I would get out of work around 5:30pm and if I rushed I could make it five minutes after closing. You may not believe this, but those bastards wouldn’t change their posted hours to accommodate me. The nerve of some businesses...

Ever since pink vinyl releases became more common, I’ve noticed a whole different vibe around here...

So much focus on Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control & Apples in Stereo ended up causing a lot of the smaller bands to get ignored. Beulah was great. And the Gerbils had a run of killer 7”singles in the late 90s that are well worth checking out if you’re into that DIY, bedroom indie sound.

I feel like there’s so many threads about this, always popping up a couple of months apart. Maybe it should be a sticky?

Since I believe they came before, I think you should describe TySegall as a wealthy man's Harlem.

I can’t remember, I’ve only bought a couple of things from the site and it was years ago, but don’t the bands fulfill the orders? I didn’t think PledgeMusic did anything but provide the store/order management/payment processing? If that’s the case, wouldn’t any delays be on the artists themseles?
