I just wish they would do an actual non-NFT Changing Of Times pressing. That’s the only record I legitimately want 😭

Post from the band today. They say they are working on a “Saosin’s Version” of ST and about 1/3 done. Not sure I’m into that idea.
 
They also have new songs in the works.

There's been a running conversation with Sean who runs their distribution company about it on this page of this thread for like...the last week.

"Kscope is thrilled to announce that throughout 2024 and into 2025 we will begin re-releasing the Oceansize catalogue, featuring their releases from 2007 onwards.  Starting with a bang as an orange 12” on Record Store Day, the first release will be the EP Home & Minor, never before released on vinyl."

Mike mentioned the label putting out Home and Minor will be reissuing all the other albums from Superball including Feed to Feed.

Haven't seen ML Buch mentioned on here yet so figured I'd start a thread. Flew under the radar for a while but finally getting some buzz (sold out US/EU/UK shows) and a vinyl edition from 15 Love (Denmark). Has some established UK distro (Rough Trade, Boomkat), and some US distros are starting to put it up as well (for now, just LA's In Sheep's Clothing). Scratches that classic guitar-driven 4AD dreampop itch but also equally impressive for the use of electronic elements. Killer vocalist as well!

I've linked to the distros above, will also leave the Bandcamp page for a quick and easy streaming option: https://mlbuch.bandcamp.com/album/suntub

self-titled is getting a repress this year from Smartpunk (or so they say)

Y'all act like you're fuckin required to buy these. 

Almost as if all pop(ular) music is carefully constructed to do exactly this. There has never been any real emotion in Taylor's music and I think the whole "hueh hueh I r metal guy who lieks Taylor aren't I quirky?" deal was the fucking strangest happy coincidence for her and her management.
 
We should make showers the next quirky weird thing to fuck the man. Until they get too popular of course.

a masterclass on whatnot to do when introducing yourself to an established digital community!

excited for the second half the double album, the Strangeness of Ranger (anybody? no? sorry heh...)

maybe time to say Goobye and Good Riddance to IVC?

Kind of a bummer considering I thought this could mean a new album.  Maybe it’s just a first step.  

I sold almost half my collection amd have not bought a new record in a long time. I think the only record I purchased this  last year was the Repress of Slip by Quicksand and I probably only listened to it once. Everything is overpriced and almost everything that was hard to find 10 or so years ago has been repressed at this point and that kind of takes some of the fun out of it. I think most new vinyl buyers have ruined the Golden age of the 'Revival' and after all the delays for new releases post covid I completely stopped pre ordering new releases (Which coincided with me becoming a parent) so my interest in new bands has dropped almost completely. The absolute worst has been how Discogs pricing has just become the norm. It is almost impossible to find a good deal anywhere because everyone record store just prices based off Discogs. 

I'm a Danzig fan. You won't get me to spend $12 and risk getting this record. 

I know you’ve all been dying to hear my 2 cents so here it goes…

I’ve curbed on buying a lot of new releases and focused on grabbing 1st presses of my favorite records.  Early rev stuff, first presses of some equal vision releases.  I feel like I kinda hit the wall with new music and not many new hardcore bands do it for me.  But I’ll find out about some old band and go after that collection like most recently Unwound and codeine, which thanks to numero isn’t too hard!
 
The price of records hasn’t really dissuaded me from buying infact it’s encouraged me.  I’m an independent contractor and we have a record player at work so I write off all my record purchases.  I understand this is 100% not ok, but I don’t give a shit.  And if anyone on here works for the IRS I’m just kidding.  

also can we talk about the cluster fuck that is ETR's graphic design? Its like...how many different font types can you shove into one asset? gives me a headache. 

ACAB includes Discops

It's definitely encouraging to hear they're re-thinking how this will apply.  I think if they can raise the threshold and eliminate the ambiguity with how it is applied, then most of us will come out unscathed.  Then again, I could be totally naive...
