any idea how long this code is gonna run?

So this pressing turned out fantastic! Jeff is now actively looking for a label to reissue the extremely OOP first 3 Idaho LPs, figured I'd post here in case someone else invested in the band has label contacts. Seems Jeff is pretty easy to reach via the Idaho FB page.

Considering they're sending out emails and updating their socials on the regular, totally reasonable to think they might also manage to give an update on shipment. Especially considering how they made a point on 3/18 of saying they were "shipping" everything that day. But in the end, nobody here is bothering them asking for one; this is an unrelated forum. Appreciate the self-righteous lecture tho!!

yeah, but considering what's up with NYC these days im not too surprised. wouldn't kill them to give a lil update tho...

right? i also was tricked by its inclusion. slept on the reissue and while it's not a must-have, kinda bummed i missed it. that record has really held up.

as in, it's still currently sold out and only on "sale" because T&N/MerchNow neglected to remove the listing

they've recently stepped things up on their recent reissue project, with Unoriginal Vinyl heading up mastering, packaging, QC dunno if there's any continuity there with their standard new album releases, though, to be fair

excited to hear this, loved Felt to death, got super lucky to catch him touring on that album (almost nobody was there for it in NYC, very strange). but the next 2 LPs only had a few songs for me. they both seemed to be missing Aaron Marsh's pitch-perfect touch. hoping this one captures some of that OG magic

honestly this record is super solid, but it's a real bummer how short it is. so many of these tracks could've worked at 150% the length or more. feels like a batch of vignettes, kinda like The House did. oh well.

that post is from last August, looks like they're still slowly but surely remixing/remastering tracks. latest update from September from what I can tell. pretty neat!

there are also demo versions of Being Your Walls and Wanderers' Guild floating around can't see the product listing anymore to see which got cut, but yeah it's not all of them. probably a good decision, some of them are pretty ordinary.

the irony here for me is putting DTMB demos on wax before the actual studio album.

looks like this online splatter variant is now sold out at MerchNow

lmao i'm clearly not asking why Shiner recorded this under their actual name. i'm asking why they recorded this in the first place when they could've told Epley to save it for the next TLAT LP. their *lead single* after 20 years off is a dead ringer for the primary songwriter's other band. sounds to me exactly like a case of, as you so succinctly put it, “Eppley and pals.” regardless, my question was largely rhetorical. we are on like Season 5 of 90s Band Can Have a Little Reunion as a Treat and it’s good to see Shiner finally getting in on the fun. question remains as to whether they’re throwin leather seats in a Camry and calling it a Lexus, or whether we are going to get something that sounds like classic Shiner. i’m along for the ride either way

i mean given that Epley is the primary songwriter for both bands, that doesn't seem super likely. but i also haven't seen credits for this one to know for sure.

sounds far more like a TLAT song than a Shiner song, honestly. not a complaint, either. both great bands. just curious why the choice to give it the ol' Shiner badge

in for a blue Pet Grief, scooped the Just So! Lesser Matters repress too since I didn't have a copy yet. on pins and needles for a color run of Clinging to a Scheme....

yeah good idea, i may do that. i usually go for my favorite color scheme over the most "limited" or scare pressing, gotta decide if that's pink/purple or clear/blue

another pressing/(variant?) announced today (possibly also for regular-ass distro): 1x translucent pink, 1x translucent purple. 1000 copies again. seems a response to the first 1000 going faster than anticipated. kinda like that new color scheme more tho, wish i had held off a bit on ordering. or that they'd announced 2k to begin with.

honestly unsure why they aren't doing a standalone Appendage + demos pressing... there's more than enough demand to not need to sneak it into a special BSN edition, i'd think hate that im tempted to buy still, Appendage is probably worth it tho

aww fuqq, that's my favorite of their pre-majors LPs...

rly excited to hear "fuck_3"

fuqq missed it again

bundle must be gone i guess, dang

definintely second the thoughts on Rough Trade. you can get the same experience on RT's website (or Amoeba's tbh, and they do free shipping). one exception is they carry a selection of very obvious indie tapes, so if you're looking for new-in-shrink cassettes, might be worth a peep. Limited To One has a pretty solid selection of used/rare tapes too. Princeton Record Exchange is great, and Princeton the town is super cute, walkable, historic etc (hmu if you do decide to go and want recs). But it's a hike from NYC and really only worth it as a day trip. Imo its best feature is the wall of $2-5 CDs, which is a great way to augment your digital/streaming library if nothing else.
