I'm digging that setlist.

I got #680!

#1428 here.  So happy that Bullmoose had the autographed/numbered copies too.  Really awesome surprise.

 

Also, everything about this release is top notch.  The packaging and the vinyl itself is real heavy duty.  Plus it sounds amazing.

Agreed about the packaging! Everything looks and feels great.

Deathwish has this listed as a "distributed title," and I've been unable to find out who's behind this release. The catalog number on this page seems to be the same as the older pressings, but Magic Bullet is now Dark Operative Records, so I'm not sure what that means. Came out to $20.88 for me!

Edit: Also found this: https://www.discogs.com/Pg99-Document-7-/release/11481092. Looks like it might be the same variant? I can't find any evidence of either of these being sold online. Maybe it was sold on part of their tour, but I didn't see any copies when I bought merch at the Baltimore show. Anyone else have any info?

Still have no clue what the hell an o card is. 

This is what they are for tapes, so I'm assuming it's a similar concept for vinyl.

So wtf.... people who paid 30$ are getting cancelled.

I paid 50$ like a dumbass, are they going to cancel my order too?

I'm thinking (hoping) that they had originally planned to raise the price periodically the whole time, and the original $29 price was the only screw-up. At least to me that sounds more reasonable than them messing up the price 5 separate times.

I grabbed the deluxe at $35. This rollout is hilarious.

What the hell are those prices?

Do you prefer black vinyl?

 

(reads Disclaimer)

Wait is there a color variant? Or am I misreading you?

Edit: lol nvm I get it

The OESB guy has been nothing but nice to me. I got my order a week or two ago, and I ordered it a few waves in (I wanna say some time in October? I got the bundle). I'd say you just gotta be patient. This order is probably huge and a lot of work, and I wouldn't be surprised if only a couple people were pushing these through (admittedly, I know little about this label).

Did they say if these are limited at all?

Yeah, they are. They sold out of the ones that are already made, but they're leaving the listing up until Friday. I think they'll probably make as many as are ordered. Kevin mentioned it on his Twitter.

Not vinyl, but here's the boxset! Hopefully they'll announce the vinyl soon.

Well it's coming, whether or not it's a vinyl box set, time will tell.

I recall reading that the box set was just going to be CDs, but each album will be pressed on vinyl, which doesn't bide well for my wallet.

Thanks so much! It's SO COOL to see that they finally released the cover of REO Speedwagon in a physical edition. Yahoo!!!

Yeah! I was stoked to see this, because Affection was the first song I heard from them.

Order here: https://cigarettes-after-sex.backstreetmerch.com/vinyl/affection-single-us.

I don't know how long it's been up, but I haven't seen any announcements for this. It isn't listed on their Discogs page either.

this is a stretch 

How so?

Figured I'd make a thread about this since I haven't seen anything about them. Anyone know anything about a physical release of the SATURATION trilogy?  Apparently Kevin Abstract said in a Q&A that he wanted to do a limited physical release, but I haven't found anything concrete. I did, however, find something interesting while looking around:

PM'd!

PM'd!

Were the new songs all in the same vein as the first single, or is this one more of an exception?

From  what I remember, the new ones sounded more in-line with the Psychopomp stuff, but she only played like 3 or 4 new ones. If I had to guess, I would say the new album will probably have a few songs like Machinist too. One of the new songs was a fleshed-out reworking of Road Head and it was phenom.

Secretly Society is also selling a bundle with the red record, the CD, a cassette with midi versions of the songs, and a companion book too:

It comes out to $42. Kinda steep, but I got it anyway because I have the deluxe of Psychopomp too. I saw her last night and it was incredible! The new songs sound amazing.

The impedance and sensitivity is more important than the Watt rating because both speaker and amp manufacturers quote Watts in different ways and in some cases just lie.

 

I'm simplifying quite a bit as all the measurements affect each other and obviously you cant use a 500W amp on 100W speakers so they need to be close and in general impedance is measured in Ohms and you want to make sure your amp can cope with the speaker load but 4 to 8 is normal with 6 Ohms being common now. And Sensitivity is measured in DB with the higher the number meaning they are easier to drive so a Valve (tube) amp is generally looking for speakers with a sensitivity in the low 90's but a very beefy solid state amp can drive speakers that have a sensitivity in the mid 80's. Most modern hifi amps want to see something around 87 or 88db but there is leeway either way.

Excellent! Thanks for the info!

What is the point being running the two sets of speakers?

I have speakers in my living room and in my bedroom, so I switch between them depending what room I'm in. My apartment has kind of a weird layout haha.

Forget the Onkyo and go and listen to the other 3 or 4 to see which you prefer and like the price of.

 

Also it's more a case of your speakers pairing with your amp than your turntable pairing with your amp so you'd need to replace your speakers, as it stands now I would say your speakers will be your weakest link so I'd replace those first but as you are replacing your amp you'd need to have a good idea which way you're going there ideally before you buy your speakers. Your best bet I would say is find somewhere that does an amplifier and speaker package deal

Thanks for the advice! That helped a lot. I don't know many places at which I'd be able to to test out these amps, but I'll do some more research. In the meantime, if anyone knows of any specific speakers that pair well with the amps I mentioned above, let me know!

Another question: I remember looking into this a while ago, but I don't remember finding something that really answered it. When buying speakers for a (let's say) 100w amp, is it necessary that I get 100w speakers?  Essentially, I'm not entirely sure how to pair speakers with amplifiers wattage-wise. I assumed it was just that you needed to make sure the wattage for the speakers was as close as possible to the wattage for the amp, but I remember reading that it was more complex than that.
