If I were in Philly I would go. Nice of you to offer it up. Bump

Turns out, nobody wants to buy my tickets. So, I don't want them to go to waste. Anybody want them?
 
 
 
 
 
HAVE FUN BillyA!

probably a dumb question, but what is the bass level set to?

No Greatest Hits today?

As in, for the $130 RRP, these are damn good speakers.
 
For $65? Hell yeah they're fucking good speakers.
 
At this price, they're pretty much an essential buy for a TT newbie.
 
And yeah, I own them. I paid $100 for them, and I would pay that for them again. Read the reviews.
 
 
EDIT: Never in my life did I think I would have defend the use of the term "fucking good". Jeez.

...and done.

Video is NSFW, for those that care.
 
It's awesome, though.

I'm assuming that Dischord Records will get these eventually. I just purchased a few new Jawbox Represses there along with the Arctic Rodeo Channels releases. At some point they also had the Arctic Burning Airlines releases but those sold out really quickly.

First giveaway is over. I'll announce the winner today.

THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!

A quick look at the Focal factory:
 

I'm guessing because they have been sitting on these for 8 months, they didnt sell like they expected, the album didnt get the same reaction from people as his first one did have all had a hand in this being sold for less now. It is a shame, it is a good album, but I still find myself going to Resolutions more than Devour.

I'm going to post in a few threads because this is such a great deal on Hot Topic right now.

STOCK UP.

Without sounding like "that guy" we got the album at work last week... hands down the best since Hot Damn!, definitely the heaviest since too. Kurt Balou has really hit it out the park.

Awesome!  I wish I could find albums like that at our local record fair.  I never have any luck finding punk records. I think I might have to spin Got Beat Up when I get home tonight in anticipation.  
 
I just hope this Beach Slang record doesnt sell out before I get to it. 

I'll definitely try to pick this up. Sounds so good! I finally found a good copy of Matinee in really good shape at a record fair a few weeks ago to finish up my Weston collection.

Henry just knows what's up.

Although I did not want to resort to posting screen caps , this matter has already become far more public than it should have.
 
I am not sure which member answers or checks the facebook account but someone saw it and responded based on this response which was AFTER the private message sent to will on FB.
 

 
 
I 100% agree that facebook is not a great way to get in touch with anyone especially a "public figure" sich as the singer of a popular band but no other public info for the band was available at the time and it was my first attempt at contact but that message did say "read" back in Feb 2013 so it was seen although he may not have bothered to take it seriously.    Regardless, after that private message to will's personal account, I WAS able to get a response from the band on their band account which was how the initial contact with their manager STARTED. Often bands do not have any public info available on their site other than twitter or facebook band accounts so getting in touch with members or management direct is often difficult and starts like this before I finally get the right contact info to have a real conversation.
 
I then had a few back and fourth's via email with their manager and then a phone conversation in which the whole "tour variant" conversation happened and the band being very interested & excited in finally getting this pressed. After the phone convo, I then sent a follow up email which recapped all the details of what we planned to do as their manager requested (pressing info, which plant was pressing, cost per record, color variants etc....)  I sent the same follow up email 3 times after that which my only response was "Hey Ross, sorry for the delay, hope to get back to you soon"  which in no way seemed negative since the response came a month after the phone convo and I assumed he spoke with the band about it at that point. In the phone conversation it was also mentioned that I was told by Epic that another label was in line for the license and if I did not move forward in the next month or two then they would grant them the license. Once i mentioned that to their manager, who openly stated "we would love to get this pressed but simply do not know how to go about getting the license"  I was then told to get the wheels in motion if another company was in line and he would get back to me in regards to the tour variant proposal. 
  Unless their manager refers to himself in the third person then someone else in the band answered this and sent me his contact info which was how we initially STARTED talking, prior to the phone conversation mentioned above
 
 
 
 
 
As of tuesday, I have been approached by a website so do an interview about this whole situation and give my side of the story. I may provide more screen caps of the emails and what not , if need be in that interview. I am scheduled to be interviewed tomorrow and hope to have it up by the weekend at some point.
 
 
 
In regards to Nic posting on here, that is VERY cool of you and wish that I had reached out to you in the first place as you seem to be rational and a good guy. In no way was i trying to do this behind your back and offered you as many copies at label cost in exchange for your support of the release in order to have the band make some money on the re-issue which most of my competitors do not even attempt to do. I am really sorry that all this drama has gone down with the release & thank you for writing and releasing one of the best pop punk albums of the 2000's

Henry just knows what's up.

Grabbed 13 copies yesterday from my area HT's,also have 4 copies on the way. Hopefully these can pay for some of my vacation later this summer.

That was a totally different situation. Ross was new to everyone at the time, was completely unproven as a record label owner and had no track record. He fucked up, and I think he'll willingly admit that. He's since put out dozens of records with all sorts of bands, active and broken up, big and small, and it's clear he's gotten better at what he does, because people continue to work with him and promote the product he creates.
 
Would I reissue something on vinyl without telling the band? No. But clearly, that's not what Ross did here. And the only reason people care is because it's 1)an active band and 2)someone who's easily reachable—aka not Music On Vinyl, 4 Men With Beards, Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs, etc. All of those companies buy the rights to releases all the time and reissue them with all sorts of bells and whistles, likely without the artist's involvement. Do you think those limited colored pressings Newbury Comics are doing are signed off on by the artist 100% of the time? Doubtful.
 
It's an artist's job to create art however they deem appropriate. It's a record company's job to sell that art however they deem appropriate. As someone who has nearly 15 years in "the industry," let me tell you that band members are typically the most out-of-the-loop people when it comes to their own careers, which is why they react emotionally and publicly to things like this instead of trying to politely and professionally get to the bottom of it behind the scenes. Such is the creative mind, I suppose.
 
I like Cartel. I like this record. I like Ross. I bought a copy, which puts money in Ross' pockets, who already put money into Cartel's pockets, because the licensing fee he paid to Epic most likely included royalties. There is no loser in this situation, except people who want to pretend they understand how the music industry works but have literally less than 1% of a clue.
