Just trying to cheer you up/difuse the situation, shlebs. You seem like you're really going through something because I think it sucks for a company to beg its customers to keep it afloat. I'm not holding a gun to anyone's head to not donate, just wanted to put my two cents out there. Sorry you think I'm lIteRalLy HitLer for thinking a company that has been around for 16 years should try to deal with their own problems and have some funds set aside for an emergency like 99% of all other companies that have successfully been around that long. Not sure why it seems like you're taking this so personally, especially since you apparently have no idea who I am, so you obviously dont know what I'm about.

Sorry to hear that. That sucks 😕

Yeah, yeah. I know we disagree on these sorts of things, we've been through it more than once. Sorry I don't just post .gifs and fuck around with people anymore, though maybe that would be best at this point in this thread since all the pertinent info has been shared. Haven't had a good ole fashioned shit-show thread lock in a while.

I'm not going to bother picking out the bits of this I want to respond to because in dark mode for whatever reason this is black text on black background and makes me want to throw my phone across the room. I read it. I get their reasoning. Give them money and if you back the certain things you get a "gift." I know how kickstarter works. BUT. Say you give them money to fight this and they lose the court case they're talking about to get their shit back. You're likely shit out of luck on both your original purchase and your backing. I hate when companies try to crowd source their own expenses when they should have likely known what was going on in the first place and gotten their inventory out of there. I dig Topshelf, but this is a cascade of fuckups that could and should have been prevented and I think putting their customers in this position is a trash way of doing things. They're likely suing for court fees as well (or should be) so if they do win they just get to keep all that money as well.

I can't add the /1300 to cart. May be sold out already? Wasn't going to get this, but why not.

Nothing like throwing more money at something you already paid for to maybe have a chance to get those things at some undefined point in the future. I get wanting to try to save a label like Topshelf, but a kickstarter seems...not shady exactly, but not great. Especially since even if they get their stuff back they don't currently have a warehouse to hold it, or a distro to even get stuff out.

An actual link to the amazon listing https://www.amazon.com/Stay-Brown-Double-Vinyl-Limited/dp/B0BDSLNWF7/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=stay+what+you+are+vinyl&qid=1662900816&sr=8-1

Nice! Thank you

Someone on reddit said they asked and were told it's a 2x10" with no intention of doing a 12" in the future. Older presses were a single 12"

2x10" 🤣

Not 100% sure what this is going to end up being...not sure Jonah really is either. One of the support options is an /100 vinyl option for whatever this ends up being. It's $50+ shipping for the vinyl option, but I've spent more on dumber shit, and I've got a decent Jonah collection going.

Right on! Thanks

Always! I'll have to check those out. I'd heard good things about the new 52 run previously I think. (Believe I also heard the newer Hellblazer stuff was good?)

Been reading Bronze Age Swamp Thing. Pretty good, not as awesome as the Alan Moore run though!

I think it's just sometimes they do, sometimes they don't unfortunately. Those Metallicas were oos for a while and then came back. I feel like a couple others did too, but then there are some that haven't come back at all.

I have to imagine more will go up at some point, even maybe just a standard variant, right?

I mean, I guess it's better than nothing. Spend $150 on a display piece and get a $3 pre-roll for free. Woo.

If this wasn't put out by ETR I might consider picking one up, but as it stands? Pass.

Nah, just a square 😉

Not sure anyone would know that answer since they're not out yet. Probably the same plates, but with leaves in it, so likely the same to worse.

I have never heard this take. Great album!

Could have sworn the last repress was still available places. Great album to keep always available though.

Digital streaming platforms maybe? Was this previously unavailable to stream? That's the best I could come up with.

Got the new Conan in...disappointing on first listen. Doesn't feel like a cohesive album and the last track especially feels really tacked on. Wish either they had started the album similarly, or had incorporated the synths throughout. Real bummer. Probably the last time I blindly buy from these guys. 😕
