I thought it was you who had the issues here. That's pretty strange, as I had no issues with one and I like 5 blocks over from a radio station.

Good morning to all the former posters here... Update, new job. Stayed in NYC. Soooooooooooooo... Yeah quick update for the ether.

Hopefully it is a WYAINE  repress, and I can grab a copy. My second hand copy is scratched to hell and is pretty much not listenable (that statement sounds weird).  I wish they'd do a 7", hell even one of his lathes for the last 2 songs they released.

"Kids, I don't want to worry you, but Santa might not make it this Christmas. Daddy's 'bonus' has been delayed at the factory."

Looks like mine will be here next week. Pretty amped to give this a listen, haven't really heard anything from it yet.

In for a black, since it is a $1 cheaper. Loved the EP and will check out the single after work.

That's a pretty damn good reason why. Congrats!

What parts are there to dislike on this album, out of curiosity?  I'm finding that it fluctuates between tracks that are incredible and tracks that are amazing.

Sounds great, like most RFC records. Shitty iPhone 5c picture, and my lovely shakey hands.

US. I'm not home, there is a huge music fest in my neighborhood I'm about to go walk around. I'll spin later.

It applies to the point you made that people need to "speak with their wallet to let [them] know to bring over other bands" (we actually want to see) when other folks here have already expressed disappointment with the lineup.
 
It may not apply specifically to you, I forget where you live and maybe decent to good US based bands never come near you or you're close enough that it's a day trip, but abstaining from going to something that isn't up to you standards is also "speaking with your wallet" and I'd imagine that with the announcements so far, most folks here are going to do just that.
 
Had this fest brought a bunch of great Euro bands that are hard to see in the US, I would guess more folks who frequent this thread would go so far as to: get a plane ticket, get a hotel, get tickets to the fest, rent a car, pay for their meals, etc. and go support this. Spending nearly (or over) $1000 to go see a bunch of bands that, eh... you enjoy well enough but can see on a normal tour the following year/whenever isn't incentive to go out and spend that kind of cash. Hell, I saw Coastlands and ITTCT last year for like...twelve bucks. So:
 
Let's break this down from where I am, about as far from Vermont as you can get in the US. 7 hours and $500+ gets me to Burlington...but at that point I don't have a ticket, a place to stay, any food, transportation anywhere...you have to understand that unless there is some absolutely killer band (preferably at least 3 or 4) that there is little chance to see in their hometown easily, people aren't willing to put up that kind of cash/commitment to go to something like this. "Speaking with your wallet" the way you were saying it is like saying "Hey, come pay $1000 for a lineup that is pretty good, but doesn't have the bands you were hoping for, all in the hope that next year you'll get to spend that much time and money again to see the festival you were originally hoping for (then a disclaimer that it may just be the same US based bands again the following year anyway because everyone came out showed so much support the year before).
 
You'd have to be crazy to do something like that.  Granted if you live nearby and you can get there with little time/money commitment beyond the ticket, great. Good for you, that's why you don't think that my comment applies.

But you get it now, right? (probably not)

I'd rather wait for a good quality version, than some half ass usb turntable rip.

Ashton is the best, buy her stuff! Super fast shipping and packaged well.

Talking to animals is the best. They listen to everything, and rarely talk back!

Went to two live Mystery Science Theater 3000s last night and I haven't laughed that hard in a very, very long time.  My face kind of hurts from it, haha.

Athletics - Who You Are Is Not Enough (Jack and Coke)
 
Paid a bit more than I wanted, but it pops up so rarely that it's worth it.

The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet

I've never heard of this project but the thread title caught my curiosity, so I glanced at the link.
 
 
That just about sounds fucking awful.

Summer has bestowed upon us and no meat updates in nearly 2 years? what gives. lets get some delicious meat pics going.
 

 

 

PM'ed you a link to my favorite cartoon streaming site

Update things have been getting a little better, got my taper dosage so I can stop cutting the pills which effects how you metabolise it. Even worked about 5 hours yesterday and got caught up the records have been piling up back there. Planning on trying to work more today and tomorrow, then my friend will be here for a few days and I can have a little mini-vacation. I think things will be ok, work has been really understanding and flexible

Goddammit this is their worst album by far.  I don't understand how people think this album touches anything they've done prior to this.  The flow of the album is terrible, Berlin ends way before it should & is a horrible song to transition into the closer.  The drums sound like absolute ass on this album which has always been my favorite part of the band on previous albums.  Every once in a while I revisit hoping it'll click but I just end up mad by album's end.  
 
Being an ITTCT completist, I'm thrilled they didn't press a million colors.  It was enough of a pain in the ass to track down the two marble greys (which are hardly different).  Not to mention having to order the Euro black simply for the different D-side etching.  
 
Anyways, there are some parts of the album I genuinely enjoy (Swallowing Teeth & Iron Glacier because they actually sound like progression for the band), but overall Bones doesn't touch the first 3.
