on the downside i don't care for this, but on the upside i just got into rise of caligula so it's like i got new deafheaven material anyway

"but jen rise of caligula doesn't sound at all like deafheaven except a few songs" well yeah but neither does infinite granite

Sort of upset I missed the color, but I’ll grab a standard for sure cuz this record rules

Haha. Don't be a child. Read what I said again. I'm not defending his actions, but questioning why everyone here is jumping on Ryan Adams when Bowie is still praised as a genius despite having sex with multiple teenagers. It's just hypocritical. I don't think people here would be jumping on Bowie or Chris Brown with as much vitriol and hatred should there be threads about them.

I talk mad shit about Bowie and Chris Brown, the whataboutism is kind of a misplaced straw man here

I'm not defending his actions, but [...] No use to just keep pounding him selectively and repeatedly because he did something that doesn't fit your/our moral compass

I see no reason at this point, why he couldn't acknowledge the pain expressed in the NYT article, apologize for it, and promise to do better. Some might not accept that, but I bet many would. It would at least sound sincere. Instead, it sounds like he believes he did nothing wrong, and it seems there are lots of excuses being made to hold that up, without any evidence to the contrary. 

 

"Hey, Mandy Moore could have gone and picked up the guitar anytime she wanted if she thought she didn't need me," doesn't really satisfy a whole lot. 

Nailed it. People who want to improve their character can do so, but the key word there is want. If you don't actually have intentions of changing your behavior, then you aren't "healing".

You’re right it’s not black and white. 
 

but also, this is not recent behavior. Since whiskeytown he’s demonstrated time and time again a pattern of toxic behavior. There are countless examples that come to mind from my almost 20 years of hardcore fandom. For a long time, me and certainly others wrote it off as rock n roll assholish behavior. But through the spectrum of the NYT article, it’s clear that it’s bigger and more ingrained than that. 
 

he does need help. I hope he truly makes amends and works to better himself (it’s not done after 2 years of radio silence and an apology in the daily mail (of all papers). A redemption story is one everyone loves. I hope he gets one. I’m just not optimistic. 

Yeah this is the mentality I've got at the moment, not only has it been a long-standing pattern, but all the recent press with him is just him begging for pity without truly copping responsibility. Classic move on an abuser's part to be victimizing themselves in times like these. He's not sorry he did anything, he's sorry he got caught.

lmao missed it again, gonna have to stalk vc tomorrow

fuck lol didnt even see this in time

I think they're almost inverted.  Numero has a metallic gold for IPORI and a translucent green / teal for S/T.

Oh good catch

Polyvinyl has an exclusive color variant of each out of 500... https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/store/karate

They're the same variants as Numero's fwiw

Huh, this is a co-release with Polyvinyl it seems

Peppa and Freddie have been beefing on Twitter

suffer you miserable waste of carbon

self-confidence is not caring what other people think of what you listen to; freeing yourself from insecurity is not taking the time to make fun of someone else for it

Haven't seen anyone talk about it here, but this leaked last week and I've been enjoying it tremendously.

It's not that wild of a number if you're always on the lookout for used deals. My turntable alone was almost that much in the 70s but I got it for free.

Yea I got a $1200 table for like 50% off cuz they were discontinuing the model or something, plus a 2m bronze that was discounted like $150 because it didn't come in the box even tho it was unused. I'm usually too lazy to bother with vintage tables/carts as opposed to speakers and amps, but there's no way in hell I'm gonna pay even close to what new stuff is worth lol

Baffled that nobody said "yeah, it would be full of Nothing"

I hope they release all the covers from the flexis somewhere. They all sound interesting. 
 

 

All of 'em except Taylor Swift have been ripped and uploaded now: https://mega.nz/folder/AQpnEK7D#yClLVJsyjNaoTOnsRCZPeA/folder/EZ4SkApS

There's also a japanese bonus disc of covers and silly jams: https://mega.nz/folder/AQpnEK7D#yClLVJsyjNaoTOnsRCZPeA/folder/ME4CgAyI

Kinda fucks with my head that these guys are like my age and they're this prolific & proficient. Christ, before their debut they were invited to play with Damo Suzuki at age like 19!

DTGL has arrived, idk why I thought it would be a gatefold but in case anyone else had the same impression it is not lol

I am thinking they must have made real jackets for the solo release... only because of the massive number of damage claims that would ensue otherwise. Maybe attempting to apply to much logic to this, but it seems like even they would recognize shipping a LP in a paper inner is a bad idea. 

If they made real jackets for this, then everyone with a box set would complain about them not having done so in the first place. I think it's a toss-up, but leaning towards "wow, they're actually shipping these in printed inners".

I think that is the jacket, made to look like a worn sleeve.

No, I’ve got the box set, it’s a printed inner. Not even a cardboard inner either, one of the thin, magazine-gloss paper types.

Funniest thing about the prices to me is that Landscape Tantrums doesn't even have a jacket--that's a printed innersleeve and a disc for like $45 or whatever they're asking
