mewithoutYou - Ten Stories
CaptainHerbalLife replied to daegor's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Looking to get Ten Stories definitely now that it's the second of two of theirs I'm missing. The other is It's Alright but am not scrambling to get that one anytime soon. Has some gems but it's not my favourite record of theirs. I had bad luck with the Ten Stories so this one going up for sale is slightly bitter for me. Ordered the deluxe box to my aunt's place in the states back when I binged on records at a certain point in time. About a year after I ordered it, she brought a bunch of records along with her over this side of the ocean and I found out that both the box and the shirt along with it had never arrived (she had no idea what record was what so couldn't tell me so either, just brought a bunch with her). The weird part was that I did get both A to B Life and CFUTF that I ordered at the same time as Ten Stories. Weirdly I was refunded for because they said the ran out but still sent me the vinyl. It kind of evened out though, give or take 10 bucks. That icy blue will surely be nice but am still considering on whether to hunt down that box I bought but missed out on. -
This is good news. Been holding my breath in this thread reading most every post. Bummer that they got a screwed pressing the first time around. Definitely wish to get one, especially the Takk I got for my lady recently arrived. Amazing work on that one. Would love to see ( ) done justice to and looking forward to getting most every Sigur record now that she has been rediscovering them again.

Right there with you on this. I considered posting it but then figured I didn't want to tempt others who ordered haha Can hardly wait. It is deemed to be epic. New Slomatics album coming up as well. 2016 is definitely the year for amplifier worship. -

Nice to see a positive post for a change. Yet to listen to it but am intrigued and won't hurry to write it off. -

Wow. Nice, thanks! The previous camo green looked better in my opinion but am really digging that caramel. And that starburst made me want to switch it for the first press wine wax for a second. Still confused why they opted for white wax for the first press when it's supposedly inferior in sound quality to most other colours (just a myth?)Also, still wondering about the LATD repress. Can't seem to find any info about it but it's popping up to order everywhere. All I know is that along with the bonus 7" I'd love for it to be on some nice teal (marbled hah!?) wax -

Superb news on that Bongripper. Where's theeee images though? I hope those end up looking half as good as that /300 camo I'm still fiending. Still need to drop 40$ on that SWD repress as well but can't seem to get myself to do it. Seems way too much for retailing a brand new record. Yup, did one major order and also got Ruby The Hatchet, Sacri Monti and Death Hawks records. Going to be one big package. So stoked to get those first two as I've been meaning to all year. You mean the new one or Lightning At The Door? -

Dang, haven't received mine still. Perhaps that means I missed out. -

Always a funny feeling to have with vinyl. -

That new Mondo Drag coming out might prompt me to order something from Riding Easy soon. I'll probably wait for EU distribution though. Finally ordered the new Atriarch to complete the collection and Bongzilla's Marijuanaut from Relapse. Couldn't say no to that amazing wax. -

Indeed! -
Dang. Am infinitely bummed to have missed out on it twice as well. It was still showing when I saw the post but wouldn't add to cart, saying it was "temporarily out of stock". I was scrambling all over myself to put funds in my bank account as I didn't have enough to put the order in right away. I was also still holding out hope that it would perhaps go online on Wednesday as a special item for their Black Friday sale but it seems all that they had are gone now.

Just came home from seeing Torche. Dudes absolutely killed it. And of course they're all top blokes as well. Grabbed a shirt and a copy of Restarter finally and had them all sign that and Harmonicraft. Forgot to bring Oblation along with me for Mr Brooks to sign though. That dude can sure shred a guitar. /geekout This new Baroness track seems to work quite well here right about now -

Wow. Thanks you ! That seems too good to be true. Which it, in all likeness, is. Will have to wait and see, put in an order. -

Shame on me that I haven't been acquainted with this quintessential American stoner album before but have to say Stash is a great listen. Very similar to Indian and also reminds me of Fu Manchu at times. -

Would have been nice if that green w/ purple and gold splatter turned out a little something more like this variant of the new Belzebong LP. I mean, it's just strange to me that the colours are all there but it's just boring-looking. Why go through the hassle of doing an elaborate colour if it doesn't even serve its purpose of looking good. -

CaptainHerbalLife replied to fugazi's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Oh snap. I really do hope I have better luck than that. I've been following the shitstorm from afar but have yet to man up to get the situation on my copy.Got my customs notification a week ago already but haven't bothered with the hassle to declare it. Hope the customs don't run as high. From my experience it's usually around 10€ with a package at that price and weight. 27€ is insane, half the price of the deluxe.- 1,208 replies

I so want to but I just can't quite into it with a price tag of 75$. There has to be a cheaper option... -
The thread formerly known as 'ty segall'
CaptainHerbalLife replied to kamalatapes's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
He did that on the King Crimson cover. To which my friend called him a retard when I played the track to him. I don't necessarily mind it that much as the original is, after all, British. But it's definitely verging on the slightly odd when it's on stage during other tracks as well, I reckon. -

Already put in an order in the meanwhile Kind of not sure if it's necessary, as I've yet to spin Live At Mount Wrath which I received a month ago, but I'd only need to get Live At Bannermans to complete the Conan collection. Waiting to add that to my order before it ships in January so hope that one stays around. Not sure how I feel about Mammoth storm yet. Digging the artwork and direction but kind of asking myself whether I need another Conan. One can only have so much room for bands with simple song structures, (semi-) mythological/fantasy themes and geeking out about amps. Especially when it's so blatantly obvious the dude on the vocals is Swedish. Not much turns me away more than a strong accent. It's not bad but it's just meh. Talking about the new album mostly, Rite Of Ascension seemed quite enjoyable on first listen. If I'd heard them before Conan, I'd probably be singing a different tune. -

CaptainHerbalLife replied to Twistedshabazz's topic in Everything Else Message Board
Oh damn. Did not expect this at all. Reckon I'll be good to wait for some time on that splatter. But, it does look a lot better than the silver so it might sell out quick, even though it's less limited. Decisions, decisions. -

New tune for those of you that haven't heard yet Doesn't quite blow me away but still ordered the LP. Figure I'll be good to sell it if I turn up feeling lukewarm towards it. Those marbled variants of Kozmik records are definitely always in demand. -

CaptainHerbalLife replied to Eliminator Jr.'s topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Same here. I'll probably just go for a clear for it to match their other LPs. Too bad they don't have that in the EU store. Would amount to another 20$ shipping price. Perhaps SLRE will have these as an import though. Not sure if I can count on that. The GITD is a nice touch but in all fairness, you have to ask yourself how many times you will be giving it a listen with the lights out. It would most definitely yield m a x i m u m r e s u l t s if done though.
