WE'RE A TIGHT-KNIT BUNCH™

Go pack go

Weird Meats is up! $7+$7.50 for shipping to the US. If you wanted to order more than one you have to put in seperate orders which is odd to me

seems like youre having trouble selling that Pirates of the Caribbean record

KESS' PORTFOLIO!!!

Dude I sold you the Sufjan Stevens Exploding Whale at cost, and even went out of my way to get that thing for you, now you're selling it for $50?

I'm sorry about your job, but fuck that, that is completely bush league. How about you sell it back to me at the price I so generously gave you if you're that desperate for cash?
 
Don't believe this joker. 

Mine had superficial scratches throughout but honestly I really don't care much since I'm not planning on selling it & this guys is a startup, I would feel like a dick trying to pull money out of his initial investment, I'm just so grateful to have this on the vinyl medium, the small pops add to the flavor for me personally..

Well...it is Indiana..

If anyone has the 12 inch parappa the rapper picture disc I will trade anything out of my collection for it... Seriously... I don't need the vinyl killer or the pins... Just the record

Especially if you can find a good deal on them and flip it later.....like that Zelda 7" on Discogs....

deleted to edit via alcohol. my statement stands. i stand with batman.

i'd love that
 
what difference does it make?

Honestly guy, who really gives a fuck, you sound awfully butthurt over something which seems to have some underlying reasons, almost grudge-like, we are all here because we enjoy vinyl records, whether it's a band we like, a novelty, for a cause or just for "The Hobby", but constantly trying to bring down an independent artist who is giving people what they want that they never have had or maybe ever will have access to while trying to donate earnings to their rightful owners just comes off as desperate and lackluster, I just don't understand your point of being so pessimistic of something that in no way directly affects you.

Wait....are we allowed to talk about this release here?  I thought I had already been chastised about that.

He's talking about your level. You've been a complete asshole lately.

well coming on here and bickering with people isn't going to do much good. he's just going to have to accept criticism and move on. nobody's forcing anyone to buy any of these releases. if you're against it, then don't buy them.

Ok, I dont come here often (im the evil "bootlegger" btw) , but I was told about a few people here trying to purposely spread a bunch of misinformation and lies about what Im doing, so I have to set the record straight.
 
First off, I dont make any money personally off my records. I have donated over $6000 to various original artists who actually made the original music and raised over $3000 for the charity childsplay. I have spent almost $4000 on lawyer fees securing REAL licenses (not some bullshit "reprint a CD on vinyl" loophole), which is costly and time consuming as fuck to do, which is why doing it from the start would have been IMPOSSIBLE for me as I am not and have never been a rich man.
 
Every other cent from sales goes right back into making more albums. I havent even announced the other LICENSED works I have upcoming because I want to wait until they're actually ready to sell and ship to avoid all this retarded craziness of preorders and resellers because I want my stuff to stand on its own because of the quality and care that went into making them, not because people want to just have them cause they think theyll be able to sell them down the road. Im even making a website for them to make purchasing wayyyy easier and also stop people from ordering a shitload of copies just to resale.
 
Anyway, the main point is, I make these things as a fan of the MUSIC and the vinyl format, for fans of the MUSIC and the vinyl format. If you hate my art, cool, no prob. Doesnt hurt my feelings. Dont like my choices for music? Fine, dont buy my stuff. I make records that I want people to actually play and enjoy, not to have collecting dust on a shelf cause they're "collectable". But when people on here try and claim that Im just trying to make a quick buck off the current video game vinyl trend, its laughable, because for one, Im partly responsible for spurring it on and two how many "bootleggers" would even care to use actual rips from nsf, spc, etc files and have then have them mastered by a real audio engineer, out of pocket, specifically for vinyl? Or spend extra money for heavy paper stock jackets, or have custom etchings specific to the game, carved into the matrix info area? If I was concerned about making a bunch of money I could easily repress Mega Man 2 or Zelda, which would be infinitely cheaper and easier than investing a bunch of money into new releases and licenses, but I have respect the people who use their hard earned cash to buy my releases and I feel like I owe those people who support what Im doing, with keeping promises Ive made to not devalue their purchases.
 
And as for the people that hate that all the albums are based on classic album covers, there is actually a thought out reason for that. I feel like game music is looked down upon as not being "real" art. The classic cover idea is a direct statement that these soundtracks are our "classic albums" and being on vinyl, I thought it would be a cool idea to make a cohesive running idea, that took the most iconic album covers of the vinyl era and juxtaposed the two, to give weight to the music within as legit works of timeless, real art, and not just some nerdy nostalgic garbage. I know Im not a great artist or anything, but I try the best I can and if you dont like it, then I more than welcome you to come upstage me, cause I would fucking buy it cause I love having game soundtracks on vinyl, regardless of who is making them.
 
And also for the record for all the haters, the new label, which all the licensed stuff will be on, will all have original covers, not based on anything but the games, so you dont have to worry anymore about "parody" stuff. But they will be all original art assets (not all by me either), so if you just want a bunch of boring stock game art, you will still be very disappointed. Also fuck you, for being a boring piece of shit that allows companies to make the same tired ass stock garbage that takes no effort or creativity at all to make.
 
P.S. Sorry this is so long yall. But I had to say my piece.

My native language is not english, and I didn't want to put more effort/time in typing the charity and giving money to the composers thing but here we are. I know it's illegal but if the artist gets money I really don't care. He doesn't do preorders so we are not getting screwed. Publishing is most of the time pure shit, those deals are most of the time not benefitting the composer. These would never have been made if this guy didn't do it. You want us to get burned it seems for I don't know what reason.

If everyone thinks $40 is too high then don't buy them.  Then they will have to slash prices to get rid of stock......
or they could just sell out instantly because some folks think the price is fine.

I have no grudge against the guy making bootleg records...I have even bought most of them.
I just think it's silly how crazy folks get about posting info about the releases.
