  1. Bumping this because I just did my preorder.

     

    Any fans of skate punk and/or blast beat punk rock should really check this out:

    Symphony of Distraction is back from a 5 year hiatus with their 2nd full length album, Horse. Founded by previous members of SecondShot, Symphony of Distraction continues to keep their songwriting focused on fast, high-energy melodic skate punk. Fans of bands like NOFX, MXPX and No Use for A Name will find the style immediately familiar, though the songwriting and execution has a voice all its own.

  2. Pay double, or sell for double. That's a really strange and shitty coincidence you'd buy the last ticket. Maybe check back a lot and see if someone canceled too.

     

    I'll probably bite the bullet and get one on Stubhub.

     

    We used to go to several shows a month before we had the boys, so now it's more about us having that time together...the show is just a bonus. I could drop the same amount of money on dinner for the kids if we ended up going out instead of to the show that I will spend on the upcharge for the second ticket.

     

    It's just the frustration of buying the last individual ticket. I should buy a lotto ticket on the way home.

  3. So, I decide to get tickets to take the Bride to go see The Front Bottoms because we stumbled across the band a month ago and she really likes them.

     

    Anyway, I go to get the tickets online and the dropdown only lets me pick one ticket. I assume you have to buy one at a time so the names will appear on the tickets, so I buy one, go back to the page and find out that I had purchased the last ticket. Show is sold out. Apparently the band is pretty popular. I'm old and don't know these things.

     

    What the fuck do I do now?

     

    Stubhub has one for more than twice what I paid for one. I hate this shit.

  4. 4 lp means expensive :( Been wanting this album for years, don't really need that ep it's kind of mediocre

     

    Rhymesayers LP means expensive.

     

    I love so much of what Slug puts out across the label, but damn their releases seem like they're consistently priced a few dollars outside of my comfort zone.

     

    I'm beyond excited for the new Prof record, especially after the latest single/video, but $26 before taxes and shipping just seems like too much.

  5. So it's just me at work today. After an hour of my coworker being late I called a manager, they called him, he was in class.

    He didn't change his availability or even mention it. Just didn't come in. It's his first job and he's been here for 3 weeks.

    A woman came in the second we opened and threw a fit because the rotisserie chickens weren't done (the oven wouldn't light for like 40 minutes) and proceeded to get a ton of stuff while complaining every 30 seconds that "I'm on a tight schedule!"

    She came in again two hours later, while I had a line of like 20 people, and complained again that there were no chickens (first batch sold out and it was too busy for me to package out the second). She said to a customer "I'm ready to strangle this kid" so I blew up and was like "Yeah. I'm having a wonderful time back here. Look around and use some common sense."

    So obviously she lodged a formal complaint against me.

     

    "if you're looking to choke something, then I've got a chicken for you." while grabbing your crotch.

     

     

     

     

    This is why I can't work in retail. And why I'm overly nice to people who work in retail.
