Do you realise that target has nothing to do about quality control when their variant is just one of many like in this case, right?

Tell that to the employees that are licking the records. 

IN for this. Cannot believe Proper Dose will be 6 years old this year. That album is my favorite by them and I still give it some decent playtime every couple of months. 

Very much looking forward to this.

I had read that the Saosin discord has them talking about re-recording the Self Titled album in a "Taylor's Version" move in order to get rights to it. I'm hoping the rumored ST press is the original.

It's a like to have, but not a $36 like to have. Would love the Self Titled repress.

Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

I've recently started collecting vinyl and have had almost no problems until now after buying brand new records. The older records I've bought had some dust on them, but nothing I couldn't get rid of, but now I'm finding it really hard to get my new records properly clean. They sound really poppy and after playing them a lot of dust has accumulated on my stylus (this doesn't happen on my older records).

I've tried cleaning them with a carbon fibre brush and with a vinyl cleaning soulution I've bought and a microfibre cloth. It does improve a tiny bit, but there is still a tail of dust hangig of the stylus by the end of playing the record/s and it gets more and more poppy as the dust collects.

I can't really see the dirt on the records, but the popping and the dust on the stylus is there making me thing there is dust/gunk embedded deep in the grooves. What I'm wondering about is how can I get these records properly cleaned at home while not having to spend a lot of money on expensive cleaning gear? And is this a common problem? It has happended to all my new records so far.

 

Thank you!

Do you possibly have moths in your home?

Yeah, show us your hole gap.

FOUND.

Actually, the used vinyl is WHY it's such an expensive subscription. Each vinyl sold is hand used to rub-down the vinyl factory workers. This makes it more personalized experience for the user and worker. I personally find it very special and the only downside is that my record sometimes skips with some of the dirt and debris. 

The good new is you can cancel anytime, so don't feel bad if you're not committed 👼

They've unzipped me with this one

You spend 125 a month on groceries? That is nearly impossible unless you are living on water and ramen.

 

 

I can't say I sat here and did the math for ya, no

You only spend $800 on six months of groceries? Please share your secrets! That's two months for our house if we are lucky. 

Have less people in your house? I am one (1) person.

Damn, if I didn't need groceries for the first half of 2024 I'd be all over that

It’s apparently $250 (according to the guy who is making the jackets)  🤣😂

 

classic ETR fuckery 

Wait, like, each one..?

Damn, that cow still makin' milk?

Who's got the hook up for one of the OMT test pressings? Currently the only test press I'm missing (aside from California) and is sticking out like a sore thumb for me at the moment.  I have a shortbus and alt cover shortbus I'd be willing to part with 

If anyone got the "Pink and Clear" instead of the "Red and Clear" I will happily buy it from you.

I kind of wanted one of those "This is not our album cover" inserts but I guess only the indie variant had them?

Yeah and they were only given to a select number of indie stores

That was the variant I pre-ordered as well (because paying with Venmo got me $5 off, making it the cheapest option, also I love not paying for records until they ship). Your comment prompted me to open my copy cause it's been sitting on the shelf since I received it, luckily it is a white copy. I really hope you're able to sort this out cause this definitely sucks 😕

Did yours come with a sticker on the front? I think it's the only variant without a sticker

I have a copy of blink's coveted Shortbus 7" with the black and white alternate cover. I may also have the regular cover (no vinyl), the message of hope, and mini blink poster. 

I'm selling all of these items together for $2,200. Will send photos on request.

Vinyl copy arrived right after work today. My afternoon plans immediately changed to listen to this a couple of times. It’s great.

Supposedly people are getting USPS tracking updates with potential delivery of this coming Monday. Still can’t believe this album is a week out from dropping. 

Yeah this one of the few bands where I've found something I've genuinely enjoyed on every release. No other band gets me this hyped. 

Wow. Both are great.

The assholes at EVR & Merchnow will have a new variant tomorrow at 1PM EST.

I hope you are able to land one and that it comes in without looking like it melted.

Darkside, No Heart To Speak Of, and Pin The Grenade are great.
