DecayToDeath

If anyone gets a lead on a download in decent quality and artwork and stuff lmk

The digital download is a .zip of untagged 192kbps files that read as all-caps "bounces" with the word MASTER attached at the end, and one of them even says _new. They're really going all out making it era-accurate.

a hundred dollars huh

I like the purple and I’m gonna try for it /shrug

great now repress the anberlin albums again

Might be my album of the year. It’s everything I could’ve ever wanted. Fuck, I love this band.

I’ve had to claw and punch my way through plenty of gatekeepers to discover and appreciate bands that I still enjoy today.  I see nothing wrong with it, and I’ll gladly back anyone who acts like a elitist after doing their own exploration and research to establish their tastes.  I can respect that more than anyone who’s spoon-fed their tastes from the latest trending videos on TikTok, and immediately curls into the fetal position when you so much as imply they’re bandwagoning.

It’s cool when bands get more exposure and can afford to record new material or go on bigger tours. I’d never argue that.  I’m not going to pretend that I was listening to Duster in the late 90s but I feel like I got into them pretty organically, and at a fair time.  Anyone who discovered them through TikTok in the last year doesn’t deserve to be burned at the stake, and I don’t feel guilty giving them some shit about it. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been on this board since I was 14 and the experience was almost nonstop gatekeeping for getting into cool bands and shit lol I agree completely with where you’re coming from

When I moved across the country, I bought these mailers from bags unlimited: https://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/7238/lp-record-mailer-box-holds-bfont-colorredup-to-20bfont-vinyl-records-br-snug-fit-12-1116-x-12-1116-x-3-brdouble-walled-edges-help-ensure-safe-delivery

 

They fit a bunch of records in each box. They were really nice. I didn't send them in the mail, but felt like they would have held up pretty well if I had. I put them in a uhaul trailer and drove that. Everything made the trip perfectly fine. I think they would work great if you're using a moving company too. The records fit perfectly in the box and they are double walled. 

I said somewhere else in the thread but the records are already all boxed up, it's transport I need to figure out

Don't be too upset. I got my Spotify copy in and it is just a print in front of the standard retail copy.

 

 

 

that's what i expected tbh, bands have been doing this forever

my concern would be less about direct damage and more about the elements. Like if they promise delivery in a week or whatever then what climates are visited and how long are thy sitting out. Plus if they are combining shipments theres always the possibility a box gets mixed up or has to go through several instances of loading and unloading. It may be the best option however, assuming you arent going up there and driving them back yourself. Im sure they offer a choice of timelines, would be interesting to see the brealdown.

 

When I moved in town about 10 years ago the collection was about 1K and I used the boxes in this thread and moved them all myself while movers did the other stuff. That was more my OCD sensibility than anything.

I've unfortunately got a chronic pain condition that worsened in the last few months and can't drive long distances anymore, which is really a wrench in my plan because I have made this cross-country drive many times in the past and always assumed that's how the move would go.

I think the UHAUL U-Box service is within my budget, anybody know if they’ll completely destroy my records? Or is that a decent move?

I have the Tumblr book I wouldn't mind selling if someone wanted to make me an offer 👀.

If anyone got one of each or two or anything like that and doesn’t mind helping me out I’d be forever grateful!

Well I’m annoyed at myself for sleeping through the alarm I set for this

As suggested by him on The Facebook I reached out to my local store to see if they could order me a copy. They said they would look into it, but they "believe it might be a direct to customer release", whatever that means.

Means it won't be distro'd

Calling it now, UYHS and Jupiter (and maybe Beyond?) up this year/early next year and Antennae up for the 20th anniversary in March 2023 (yesterday was the 19th anniversary)

Antenna gonna be a tough call, it’s the only one Relapse didn’t manage the rights to at this point and who knows what the major wants to do with it

I don't know how this hasn't been shared in this thread (aside from the fact that it isn't vinyl related), but MAN... it really hits all the right notes for me and finds a way to be both funny and deep in my opinion. Also it honestly left me with the understanding that although I haven't liked much of the latter Weezer I should appreciate what it means to other people. VERY recommended viewing.

I don’t think there’s one answer to this. It’s going to depend on the distance you’re moving, the size of the collection, how much other stuff you have to move, if you’ve got help, if you’ve got time, etc…

approximately 20 uhaul boxes' worth (~1200-1300) plus another much larger box with my turntable, amp, and speakers / i'll be moving a half hour to another part of SoCal with the remaining 300ish in my collection so that'll be easy, but all the other records are coming from storage in Pittsburgh where I used to live / I've got help / I'm quitting my job with a full month to coordinate this stuff
