copelandkid

just went back to their website on a hunch and on the Foxes cassette product page there's now (or maybe there always was and i missed it?) a big red notice: SHIPPING IN JANUARY so that's that i suppose, sherlock out

haven't gotten anything, but also no shipping notification. two questions – should i expect a shipping notification first? and did anyone who got theirs also have a tape in their order? wonder if my copy hasn't shipped yet due to tapes not being in yet... figured id ask here before i bug Mike/mwY

lmao it's not about "your opinion" or you personally in the slightest. i don't know you from Brand New's drum tech. but now you're going out of your way (three comments and running) to downplay gross comments / indefensibly ignorant takes in this thread, and @-ing me to boot?? i tried to be diplomatic about it because it really isn't about you, used your catchy line about not tryna "stir up shit" too and i meant but yeah re-reading your original comment i can see how empty that sounds (even omitting the sarcastic shruggy ASCII). also never commented on your views on the Lacey matter either way. just that it's a really cringe look to be bothsides-ing this kind of thing... agree to disagree i guess!

IRL friends are an extreme non-sequitur here though; there are specific ppl in this thread making specific claims. they are people who either 1) are online enough/BN fans enough to know exactly what Lacey was alleged to have done and are still defending/rationalizing it or 2) are perhaps unaware that he was preying on minors but preying on adult women is totally cool (cf choice phrases such as "she wanted attention" and "it sounded like the girls were willing"). in the latter case, it's fair to wonder whether people should in fact go "learn more of the drama" while they're already within a stone's throw of Google instead of walking d*ck-first into a defense of pedophilia. in either case it's weird to me that, if someone with a staff member designation is going to step in, it's to rationalize realllllly suspect comments on child abuse and not to, ya know, condemn them. not tryna stir up shit either, just a little disappointed here...

it wasn't enough to tell strangers on the web (who, as you suspected, really really care) that you bravely still listen to a cancelled artist so you had to throw in an unprompted defense of pedophilia??? gonna be a little less charitable than the others here and say you should ask a loved one this holiday season for forceps to help you get your head out of your ass

it's a Your Favorite Weapon lyric referencing this Antonio Brown tweet

ok no more songs about you 2020

in any case, the whole band (as an entity, not as individuals) is tainted by association. that's why they are no longer a thing. don't mean to suggest the other members knew (though it's not exactly a stretch to think they knew either).

lmao 30 bucks for a single LP from a disgraced band, easiest decision to buy an older press second-hand i've ever seen.

ahh ok it looks so subtle that i almost took it for a catalogue number. but mine is numbered (2146) after all. very nice.

shame on discogs for lying to me!

so are the non-obi clear copies numbered (discogs says yes)? if so, where? can't find it on my copy of Sound-Dust...

i keep a huge-ass stack of mailers for moves and managed to fit most of my ~500 LPs in what i had saved up here during my last move (grad school was the culprit here too haha). the remainder were thrown in the best boxes i could find but were a lil precarious. escaped the whole ordeal with a small number of corner dings, perfectly ok with that.

my clear Sound-Dust has been stuck in UPS/USPS limbo for two days, pray for me VC gang

that Terminal album hopefully is in the pipeline, best thing (some of) the Oh Sleeper crew ever did!

always wish i could've gotten into this band, this looks super neat. exciting to see the blistering pace of T&N/SS reissues, hoping to see a few neglected favorites of mine show up.

after postage + packaging (and they use good mailers), it's probably more like $1.50. lots of spilled milk to cry about still, i'm sure. considering their manager's recent tweet thread decrying customers choosing media mail for non-media orders (costing mwY considerable money), i imagine the modest price hike is to help them offset the cost of past & future customers taking advantage of them offering media mail in the first place.

i was on set for the Julia music video and Aaron showed me his new Bentley, said he paid for it off of the extra money skimmed off of media mail buyers alone. man's living large.

exactly what i did once i caught wind of the repress slept on the drop but ended up getting my favorite-lookin' variant (splatter) anyhow. lots of the /200 left (more than half it seems) as of this comment.

stayed up way past my bedtime and grabbed the red standard edt. and a red cassette, have dreamed of owning this album for years and am so excited! also my discogs wantlist digest tonight was like 18 ppl tryna unload older pressings before the value drops way below 3 figures, you hate to see it

~64 min across 3 sides, ~22 min/side @ 33rpm a side kinda being the acceptable max, should be fine! depends a bit on sequencing but yeah don't anticipate real problems.

midnight tonight, i.e. the very first minute where 11/21 becomes 11/22

if the guy buying two copies of this release makes you mad, i don't recommend checkin out the SF59 FB group, some of those dudes bought like upwards of 10 copies to sit on/flip and are shamelessly posting about it

it really feels like Underoath's "Disambiguation" at moments, perhaps moreso due to the writing. but it really feels like a smart callback to late 00s/early 10s metalcore.

white too (mockup looks translucent tho) https://ascitiesburn.store/products/sttw-white-vinyl
