Some nice packages here. Post more people, this is fun.

So, about 2 weeks ago a nofx record that I've been wanting for years popped up on discogs, NOFX/Drowning roses split on black /450. They usually sell for $40-50ish if I'm not mistaken, and this one came out to $23ppd and I had a nice paypal balance so I decided to snag it.
Flash forward to today, I get the record and I open it. Turns out the seller listed it incorrectly and he sent me a RED COPY /50!!!!
These are so unbelievably rare, I never thought I would own one, and now I've got one for damn near next to nothing!! I'm in shock.

Nothing wrong with making a connection with a TV show. Life is short and I happily invested 7 years into this journey. I wasn't disapointed.

I agree. I was looking forward fo your input. I've been watching this show since the premier of the first episode. Those good byes were hard to watch. I teared up a little multiple times through out the episode.

I thought this ending was incredible.  There was no better way to end this.  
Things I loved the most:
- Jax moving to a blue bike, instead of a black bike, indicating his run with evil was finished
- Jax following the same path his father did, stating, "I know why you did it," his father did kill himself, as a means of trying to pull Jax away from that life; however, because of Clay, it was too late
- "Come Join the Murder" playing in the end.  I don't care what anyone says, those montages have been more beautiful than time consuming
- The final scene in which Jax places his hands up and smiles
 
I don't care how manly you are, if you've been following this "family" for years and didn't tear up you might be lacking a soul.  

To me, it'll never be as heart-wrenching or emotional as when Opie died. That had me in almost tears.
 
I too, was surprised at by the end how many characters stayed alive. Especially given Jax's rampage and I would expected some immediate blowback. I was happy to see Nero finally get out of the life, granted not as how he would have wanted or pictured it.

Yep, so he truly ended up being his father's son.  
 
I actually enjoyed the ending far more than I anticipated.  It was very sad watching all of the goodbyes.  Maybe I'm speaking for myself only here, but I think fans of this show developed a bond/connection with a lot of these characters over the years which made last night's finale particularly hard to watch.
 
Some of the most shocking aspects to me were the number of characters who actually survived.  I never thought Tig or Nero would make it to the end of the series and I'm certainly glad they did.  

Yeah that was bad.
Interesting theory online
"I finally got the homeless ladies part, she died in the accident that John Teller caused when he died, she lost her family, she was there when Tara died, before gemma died and told Jax it's time before he died, she came back,the meaning was almost the same like the movie crow it seemed, to see them die, that bread in the end the crow was eating was the same bread she was eating when she told Jax it's time, she was the reaper"

Holy shit. I got my package today and I am fucking blown away. Thank you so much santa. I was running late to get to school for a final, but when I saw the package on my doorstep I had to rip it open - I was buzzing all day. I listened to the mix CD the whole way through twice going to and from school - I love EVERY song on it. Plenty of bands I have put off listening too and some that I already love.

I'd been meaning to pick up that Street Smart Cyclist LP, I've wanted to find a copy of that Tuesday album forever, and I'd be lying if I said I don't often go and eye the test press section of the Asian Man webstore.

Anyway. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I honestly don't know who my santa is, the only clue I found was that they have a baby and work two jobs. Please let me know! I have a guess but I don't want to be wrong.
 
EDIT: It's gotta be Danderson Drowell. I went through and read everyone's bio, and based on everything he can be the only one. Am I right? I gotta be right.
