kind of

Everyone loses when posting in the Blonk thread.

Went to BugerFi again this weekend. Definitely one of the best burgers in San Antonio.  

 

 

I also had Whataburger the other night and it tore my stomach up. With how often I eat cheeseburgers that should not have happened. Makes me wonder what else they put in their beef patties other than beef. Never again Whataburger, never again. 

YUMMMMM!

I don't know that I've ever been to a Whataburger, could have just been contaminated somehow? That's a bummer though.

what are people's opinion of haim? for some reason, i has this predisposition to disliking them for the longest time. then we got their song falling on the work playlist, and i was into it. shortly after, the wire ended up on there was well. and now i am completely on board with this album. but for some reason... i feel like i'm not supposed to be?

I feel the same way. When I hear their stuff, it's really catchy and funny and smart...and I dig it, but something makes me think I shouldn't enjoy them as much as I do.

I bought netflix and upon first glance I feel powerful I have al this media at my hands and my beck and all all of it bends to me.

It's a curse.

I love to get my cassettes from Goodwill, and records from Salvation Army. I don't usually find anything good at my Goodwills, but last week I did get Wang Chung and the Eurythmics.

Nice! I'm not a tape guy myself, but that's not too shabby. Eurythmics are awesoooome.

Twisted metal was pretty fun back then

Shit yeah! Bloody Roar is another one I liked.

Oh, just a heads up to you guys too...If you're into Wo Fat, I ordered The Black Code from Best Buy for $20. We'll see if they come through with it...it isn't looking too good though, the other stuff in that order shipped already and they have to "special order" it. Who knows though. I'll be super stoked if I get that guy for $20.

I love Goodwill :-)

I do too, I haven't had much luck there recently, and around here they all raised their 12" vinyl prices to $2.99, which is absolutely absurd.

On the plus side, I've gotten some just absolutely ridiculous shit from them and Salvation Army that they just didn't know how to price. Usually Salvo is the better of the two for deals for me, but I've seen some bonkers stuff at Goodwill before too.

Any more I usually just get books at Goodwill though.

I've found books 1-11 of the Wheel of time there so far, and all 6 of the original Dune books. (and a book club edition of Salem's Lot, which is one of my gems. Wish it had been a first printing...but if it had been I would have sold it. Cuz...y'know C.R.E.A.M.)

Nice work

Thank you, sir. I was pretty darn happy about it! I'm going to have to grab some old PS1 games I haven't played yet.

Just knabbed one of those small, old PS1 with the screen that clips on the back, controller, car charger, wall charger, a/v cords and carry bag (though the bag is for a Dreamcast) for $15. Looks like I'll be keeping that and a copy of FF8 in my car, suckas!

(pretty stoked about it.)

Blip blorp. Went to Goodwill today, got some pretty dec stuff. Pretty stoked about it. SHARESIES.

If anyone is interested in that Green Day 7", just let me know. I'm not a huge Green Day fan, but I know people on here seem to look for that 7" sometimes and I got a darn good deal on it. It's the black repress from '91, but still.

In before clip clop.

Get it? Horses, bruh.

Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute $5.99 on website. Same as Amazon.

I feel the same way about Warp Riders. Its alright, but its odd to me how everything before and after that is leaps and bounds more rad than it, its just kinda there. Gods of the Earth though, oh man is that album good

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised I don't have Gods yet, seeing as it's my favorite from them, but Warp Riders. MEHHHH. I saw them somewhat recently and was disappointed by their live performace. They sounded pretty much exactly like the songs on the albums...but it seemed like there was no heart in the show. It was a real bummer. They did play pretty much every song I wanted to hear though, so that was nice.

Forgot to add in my last post, my Earth records should be here next week too! Bees Made Honey on red and Hex on white! Woo. Gonna be a great mail week for this guy.

Went a little overboard this week...this is what happens when I don't have anything to do at work...

Ordered...5? I think? of those Glassjaw reissues at $6 each from Amazon to give out as gifts, might sell one or two below MSRP to people on here too, haven't decided.

Grimes - Visions, been waiting on this, they had a good price when I was ordering those GJ albums.

Bought a bunch of stuff off Tetsuodaironman on here:

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food

At the Drive-In - In Casino/Out (Grey w/ Pink Splatter)

T-Rex - Electric Warrior

James Brown and His Famous Flames - Please, Please, Please and

John Coltrane - Plays the Blues

Best Buy, just because I was bored and have been meaning to pick these up for a while and it was a pretty good price on Wo Fat:

Wo Fat - The Black Code (Don't know which color or anything, but $20 was too good to pass up...and then to get free shipping I got..)

The Sword - Gods of the Earth      to finish off my Sword collection, didn't much care for Warp Riders, so I'll grab that if I come across it for like $10, otherwise, whatever.  And...

Mastodon - Crack the Skye     to finish off my "Mastodon albums I actually care to own." collection.  Didn't care for The Hunter, probably won't get the new album unless, again, I run across it for about $10 somewhere down the line.

Knock on wood those GJ albums go through, I wouldn't mind not spending that money though in all honesty.

Yyyyyyup. No Lagon spurring us on this week.

Apologies for the long post but this what I just dealt with.

Retail Story of the Day

I'm over in Fine Jewelry putting out some new watches as I'm approached by young gentleman who would like to inquire about the price of some solitaire earrings. The conversation was as follows.

(Please note he spoke in a thick Charleston "Geechie" dialect)

Which earrings were you interested in?

Dese um Fantasia earrings right cha? Ine even know she made jewelry! Ol gurl on the come up init?

This collection wasn't made by the singer...never mind. These solitaires are priced at $174.99 with an additional 30% off

$174.99! These s*** REAL bruh?

No these are considered costume jewelry. They are cubic zirconia or lab created diamonds. You do know this is Saks Fifth Avenue right?

So dey real?

No they are fake but they shine like real diamonds

Oh well my gal dumb. She ain't gon know the dufference anyway. You think she can tell?

Probably so seeing that this is costume jewelry.

So she supposed to wear a costume?

No that's just the name.....Your total with tax would be $133.41

$133! I thought you said these was on sale bruh? Man **** I'll take em. I knew I should've never knocked up her stupid ***. She lucky she my baby mama.

As he says this, said baby mother walks in the store and he acts as if she's the best thing in the world and presents the earrings to her after paying for them.

She then gets on the phone and exclaims "GURL GUESS WHAT 'TWON BOUGHT ME!? SOME "DIAMOND EARRINGS GURL FROM SAKS! SO YOU KNOW THEM **** REAL!". He then looks at me and says "Told you bruh".

*facepalm*

Love. It. That's some funny shit if you're not the one having to deal with it. Sucks you had to though!

Congratulations! That should be fun.

Woof. Is this thread sufficiently off topic enough to lock it yet?

I'll pick up some superglue tomorrow and sort it, but it's a sad reminder that my 30 year old turntable is probably on it's way out

Right on, good! My sad trombone was sincere, btw. Not making fun.

 

Bollocks.

::Sad Trombone.::

Watching Wayne's World

Congrats!

Because constantly quoting the same post is far less annoying than some new guy asking a question....

So I finally got the rest of these cleared so I figured I'd put this all in one thread. I'm pretty excited about all of these, they should be pretty cool.These will all be available in select Hot Topic stores and on www.hottopic.com. These street dates are all tenative. I'll update this thread as we get closer to each release and let you know if anything has changed. Don't ask about Dogs Eating Dogs, I have no idea if or when that will ever get pressed.

 

 

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket LP - Not too long ago Hot Topic had an exclusive pressing of TOYPAJ LP on clear vinyl with red, green and yellow splatter limited to 2000 copies. This sold out quite a while ago online but there's still some copies floating around Hot Topic stores.

 

Self-Titled 2xLP  - (there's already a thread for this one on here) clear vinyl with pink and green splatter with the smiley face logo etched on the D-side limited to 2000 copies. This one has been bumped back a couple weeks and should now be available around early December.Right now it's looking like a 12/24 street date.

 

 

 

These are updated as of 5/14/14 with new TENTATIVE release dates so these might change again. If anything else gets bumped I'll update the thread

 

The Mark, Tom and Travis How 2xLP - clear vinyl with pink, green and blue splatter limited to 2700 copies available 3/11/14

Neighborhoods 2xLP - clear vinyl with black and white splatter limited to 2700 copies available 8/5/14 (this could possibly get bumped a little as well, I'll know more as get closer to 8/5)

We are doing the double gatefold that the original release had so this one will be $29.50

 

 

 

Represses

Working on a S/T 2xLP splatter repress that is tentatively scheduled to be available around 7/8

Working on a TOYPAJ LP splatter repress, I'll post more info on that as I get it.

Looks like you got the joke there, buddy.

Maybe I just haven't gotten my paycheck yet and it'll all fix itself.  Thanks for your concern.

Prettttttty sure an overdraft doesn't just "fix" itself. Careful.
