Nice, thank you!

Info?

Why couldn't they gather to mourn at the personally significant place is what I don't understand. Especially if it's someplace beautiful. I get the not wanting to be on someone's mantel. We sell these necklaces that you can fill with a little bit of cremated remains and people seem to really like those because they can scatter most of their loved one but keep just a bit.

Haha, I've seen that! Nobody I've worked with has had it done as of yet.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, our cremation rate is much higher than a lot of the country for some reason. I do significantly fewer burials than I would if I lived on the east coast.

I would prefer not to be buried, I've been looking into the legality of two things 1) Viking burial. 2) getting my bones cleaned by dermestid beetles and mounted as a skeleton. If I were to do burial, I'd personally go with a green burial, no viewing. Not as great for the company's bottom line, but I prefer it.

Yup. This week has been really dead. **eh, eh. nudge** Edit: sorry, that was just terrible.

I hate it when things are slow at work, but then I feel kind of bad for feeling that way.

That was nice of him, but had I been just passing by I would have done the same, that's just common courtesy.

If it's truly concealed (as a concealed weapon should be) no one would even know if he was carrying. Unarmed security is a joke. He's getting paid to just walk around your building

Why wasn't he concealing and carrying a single gun, rather than keeping 4 in his car...? I also have concealed carry and I would never leave a bunch of guns in my car, even in a gun safe. I think I'm going to, wifey seemed into it too! Edit: I only caught the last season when it was airing, so I got to watch everything else straight through without interruption

I was just talking about wanting to rewatch Lost last night!

I picked on of those represses up at a local record store on "Indica" colored vinyl a while back. So good.

Totally, I am exactly 0% butthurt over anything you've said so far and I think you made a very fair and good argument. I was kind of leary about even getting it at the /50 when I thought it was $40 but I was excited about seeing that they had it in stock because I had a boring day at work. And really the Deja example I gave is just because I've seen more people with boners for that record than any other on here, I mean it's a good record, but c'mon. After my first post I was somewhat just playing devil's advocate, I certainly thought more people would weigh in and we'd get a good discussion going. That fucking Weeknd trilogy boxset. WTF. When that thing came out I was excited until I saw the price tag and then I dropped any idea of trying to own it. (not to mention House of Balloons is the only record out of that set I really wanted and I can just get a German boot of it.) but yeah, I don't think it's ok for them to do charge that much more, I was just trying to show the mindset behind why they might. As it turns out I can't even justify the $20 shipped for a black copy, (I started out collecting years ago scouring thrift stores for records I wanted, now I don't even do that because Goodwill is charging $3 per record.) I just got excited thinking about a record I didn't realize was still available while I was at work earlier, slow day.

You sir, are genius.

I never said the black vinyl wasn't limited and I never tried to disprove your point... Obviously no one likes paying more for pretty much the same thing, and as I said knowing that the blue it isn't as limited as I thought, I'm no longer considering paying double the price; I was just stoked when I thought it was /50. I like when things are limited to double digits. It's great that the labels you buy from only charge a dollar or two more for deluxe editions, most deluxe editions cost significantly more, maybe not double, but more than a buck or two. And yes, any time I've bought colored it has been either the same price, or sometimes up to $5 difference, but never double. I'm just saying that it isn't out of the realm of consideration that the label feels they're justified in their pricing whether we agree with it or not.

This^ The last three times I had to move my collection it was 1st time: up 3 floors 2nd:down 3 floors (duh) 3rd:up 3 floors. and let me tell you, after the 6th or 7th box...you're feeling it.

I mean, I get it and it is certainly shitty of them, and knowing that it isn't actually limited to 50 makes me want it significantly less so I probably won't be finishing my order for blue since I just asked him if he could hold on to one for me. But I guess what I'm saying is, let's say Deja gets repressed and they're selling a black vinyl copy for $25, and an almost identical but colored and more limited version for $60. Are you telling me that there aren't people on this board who would snatch up every last one of those colored slabs? I'm not trying to argue that it isn't shitty of them to do it, I'm just saying that it doesn't seem unthinkable that a company, which is what any label or distro is in the long run, would see the potential for profit and try to take advantage of it. Especially considering that if they were the same price from the label, they would be sold out long ago and flipped for at least $60 on the secondary market. Anyway, long story short, like I said, not trying to start an argument or anything, I just don't see why anyone would knock someone for getting stoked that something they thought was limited to 50 copies wasn't sold out, and obviously if that same person posted the price, they know how much it cost.

I'm not great at growing a beard either I do have the internet's other favorite thing though? Cat party. Maybe when I go on vacation I'll start one just to be as cool as everyone else. Edit: a beard. start a beard.

I mean...you could say that about any record though really, couldn't you? Why is any variant more expensive than a black unlimited record? Because it's limited and colored. Just because you're getting it at a marked up price direct from the distro rather than buying it at a marked up price on the secondary market doesn't make it any less limited or worthwhile, does it?

I'll still give it a try, I'll let you guys know how it goes when it arrives. Won't be for a little bit though, he said the next mailing is in two weeks.

Did they? I have no idea. Anyone else? Edit: on page 17 of this thread someone said they just generally had problems with the Mineral records ordered this way being warped.

When I moved my collection cross-country packed them pretty tightly in cardboard boxes sized to fit them and just made sure not to put anything heavy on top of them. Also made sure that nothing would roll into/onto them and they made it fine. We even took our time and did it over 10 days and it was pretty warm... I was worried about warping at first, that's why I made sure to pack them pretty tightly. I think my boxes were only 12.5" wide though so they didn't really have any space to move. You might pack some sized cardboard down the sides to keep them from shifting. Anyway, my two cents.

Fuck yes! Jeff still has some of those Blue copies of The Power of Failing (limited to 50 according to discogs...? Doesn't sound right.) if people are interested. I just got one Looks like he's all sold out of End Serenading though. The Power of Failing on blue is $40...kind of seems worth it though, especially if it's really limited to 50.

Haha, yeah, I figured it goes along with my work and with digging for vinyl in crates
