Phoebs is apparently rocking the grammy nominations. So that's (un)expected/ neat.

Well-deserved, for sure

I think I like this record more than the debut,  and that's only after a couple listens. So many infectious tracks on here, I had to give it back-to-back listens and almost went back for a third. Vocals from all parties are as good as they have ever been, if not better, and some of the riffs on this record are utterly fantastic. Cannot wait to get my copy from NB and toss it on the table.

Haha pretty much. Grabbed SDRE, Elliot Smith, Silversun Pickups, and Frank Turner. 

That Frank Turner record was a must-buy at that price, for sure.

TBH too, if it does sound like shit, you can still get rid of it pretty easily. 

This is the motivation I needed to throw money at Caspian haha I might as well grab the bundle.

I don't have any of these, but you guys haven't exactly given me confidence that I should pick any of them up haha I'm leaning toward just getting Tertia on rose; in the event these come out sounding as bad as everyone is thinking they might, I won't get burned as much.

20% off all vinyl at Newbury Comics today. Some releases actually become reasonably priced with this deal lol

Excellent, I missed the earlier batch of pressings and don't have $150 to get one off Discogs, so this is great haha good lookin' out!

Just realized that I had to go into my settings to change the "replies to topics I follow " back to emails instead of just notifications, so I missed out on this. Probably for the best for my wallet, since my blue swirly should be more than sufficient, but I am very curious to see what this is going to look like.

SoV also has a 30% off sale as well (and you can also stack the same promo codes for uDiscoverMusic since they're the same company). It's not site-wide and free shipping is from +$50, but there are definitely some items there that aren't on uD as well. I managed to grab the Pole box for like $60.

 

Also: Prince Sign O' the Times Super Deluxe box would be like $150. Insane.

Used the !TRICKORTREAT10 code to get the four SOAD records they have on that site for ~$15 shipped each. I couldn't use the comeback code this time, even when I tried using a different email address, but even still that is such an insane deal. Been meaning to get all five when I could get a deal on them, this is definitely a great start. Thank you!

Has no one contacted Touché or Epitaph to find out what really happened? 
 

I know the answer, but having someone admit to fucking up, may help this hurt a little less for y’all.

Send an email? Are you crazy?

Arrived today, looks and sounds as good as expected, if not better

Tons of titles 30% off plus comeback promo code for another 20% off!!

Awesome, getting 808's & Heartbreaks for $19 and free shipping was a no-brainer. And that Marvel edition of Liquid Swords was intriguing enough to scoop up for $22, as well. I might just swap that wax out for the standard black copy I have. Thanks, man!

Kasey Musgraves - Golden Hour

What a deal on such an amazing record, nice find there 👍

Surprised no one has mentioned it, but the last minute or so of April Ha Ha is so good.

Early on, back when all we had were those little Apple Music sample snippets, I guessed my favorite tracks would be April Ha Ha, Famine Asylum and Ask the Rust. I think I would only swap out Famine Asylum with In Blueberry Memories having heard the whole thing now. Ask the Rust closes out the record so perfectly, imo.

Thanks, Derek 👍🏻

I cracked about seven last night, probably why I’ve got the whole Lament thread at my throat. lol

If you’re buying vinyl just because it’s an investment you’re trying to flip later, try bit coin instead. 

I'm good. I just hope I can least sell such a fuck up of a variant back at cost, tbh.

It may not be exactly what we wanted but it's also not a money grab (at least the $60 version)

Depends on how much you value the Black Stallion LP, tbh. I've seen the 2010 White Pony represses going for $40 on Discogs. If you're not really a "remix" guy, don't think spending those twenty extra clams is worth it.

Looks like the tracks are on Spotify now, so I guess I'll give them a listen and see if this is worth the funds.

Edit: Having  listened to the Senses Fail tracks and seeing as how I am a much bigger SF fan than a STD (lol) fan, I will definitely pass.

I mean you got half of what you wanted?

Perfect, lemme just selection the option to purchase Black Stallion separate from White Pony...oh wait 😉

The good news from this is that any flippers who are not aware of how bad this is will probably have to sit on these for a long time before finally selling them at-cost, potentially not even profiting off them. That's always a pleasant thought.

If my sealed copy of a /500 press is worth less than what it was when I bought it because of this fuck up, I might send out an email. Not that it would change anything, but I guess doing something is better than nothing.

How easy would it have been to release White Pony &  Black Stallion on white and black vinyl? Like, I don't know if that would have influenced my decision enough to spend one hundred and fifty fuckin' smackers, but c'mon, this was not thought out well at all.

I don’t think they care lol 

If it doesn't affect their pay, why should they? I guess time will tell if this ends up being a "newsworthy" fuck up for Revolver and the plant gets dragged through the mud or if it just blows over and people just forget about it entirely. After all, they are only pissing off 500 people, which is relatively small in the grand scheme of things, I would guess.

That super deluxe is not it.

Easiest $150 I didn't spend.

The question becomes: do I now sell my Revolver copy sealed and keep my gold/beer split instead? I think if I don't see a single Revolver copy that looks good before Monday, that is gonna be the plan.

In all seriousness, I love the decision to go with "deluxe and super deluxe" instead of "standard and deluxe". That's some primo capitalist shit right there.
