So what did people think of the Fear the Walking Dead season finale yesterday? And regular Walking Dead returns next week!

Hey Mo, do you know if the Batman boxset will ship before the Christmas holidays?

March 24. You?

Hey, congrats! My wife and I are expecting baby #2 in March.

Huge fan of Constantines right here. So many great bands have been mentioned, but I'm also gonna throw The Deadly Snakes out there. Love Undone is a classic album. Check out "Real Rock and Roll Tonight" and "Who Loves Ya Baby (Not Me)". They're like a Canadian version of the Oblivians and Greg Cartwright actually was in the band for a while. Other good bands that are not yet mentioned are Meligrove Band, The Carnations, Novillero and Hot Little Rocket.

$56 USD shipped to Canada, but with the exchange rate it's close to $80 CAD. I love Earthbound but I don't think I can do it for that price.

Speaking of Batman, has anyone heard anything about what Mondo was hinting at by reposting the Batman: The Animated Series 7" collection on Instagram a while back? Is there a box set coming up?

That was my first guess too! Either Smash Mouth or Sugar Ray.

I picked up my Bundle Part 1 in person on Friday and I can tell you that the Dine Alone guys and gals are working full speed to ship out a ton of parcels. Just a little more patience guys! Very happy with the bundle too. I like the CBC logo on the sleeve of the Arkells live album. Nice touch. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to anything quite yet but it all looks awesome.

Sigh. I was really hoping these would hit the shops in Canada.

Looks cool! I'll likely pick mine up at the end of the week. Can't wait!

Midnight Swim is up. Order one now so you can talk about shipping later.

Also wondering on this.

Hmmm. I'm interested in this if the offer is still good. Would you be able to PM me the details?

Ah man. I'm going camping next week and don't know what cell reception will be like. I hope it either drops on Friday or doesn't sell out quickly.

Looks like it's official. The Weakerthans are done. http://exclaim.ca/Music/article/weakerthans_break_up

If I've learned anything from last season, it's that you can't guess how they're going to pace things. I would have expected the shipping container situation at Terminus to stretch for a number of episodes but it was over in like 10 minutes. I think they heard the groaning over how slow Season 2 moved and Scott Gimple is trying to keep things a little more lively.

Yes, he specifically mentioned Audio of Being in another tweet. I don't know if represses of his solo stuff is in the works.

Been some more chatter about the MGB back catalogue finally being pressed to vinyl later this year. Via Matt Good's twitter last week:

I'd be super grateful if someone could please get me a copy of Songs From The Laundry Room.

This record actually came out at the end of May, but I'll post it here since I didn't even know it existed. I know there are some fans of the Cons on this board. Bry Webb and the Providers have released a live album of their show at Massey Hall, recorded May 31, 2014. Record label says it's limited edition on translucent red. The album cover is in 3D and it comes with 3D glasses! Out now in record shops (picked mine up at Rotate This in Toronto) and available online: http://ideefixerecords.com/releases/if011/

Mine isn't even that far. Still stuck at "unfulfilled"

Both variants of Friday the 13th Part II are back up on Waxwork's website. http://waxworkrecords.com/collections/all/products/friday-the-13th-part-ii Second chance for anyone who missed out.

I'd speculate that part of the reason for the name change from Moonshake to Unfortunateface has something to do with the fact that there is already a label in Spain called 'Moonshake Records' that isn't affiliated with him (at least I'm pretty sure it's not). If he's going forward as a totally legit operation then I imagine he would need a unique registered name to trademark his brand. Finally got my Castlevania and NES records in the mail yesterday after the post office ate my initial shipment. No variants but still really nice!
