New Wolf Parade LP coming in the new year. Pre-orders available from their webstore and Sub Pop (and presumably elsewhere soon). Pressings include standard black, Loser Edition (clear with red and green swirl) and a "Canada Edition" on clear with alternate cover (i.e. more obvious Tim Hortons logo).

It should be on your “Dashboard” but it’s gone for me as well. Would email [email protected] and they’ll sort you.- 4,699 replies

PO: Cursive - “Get Fixed”
fondfarewell replied to fondfarewell's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
This seems to be a common sentiment. Interesting to me, because I think it's great. Probably not top three Cursive for me, but I definitely listen to it more than their first two LPs. -

Can anyone tell me if the merch went quickly at their show? Specifically interested in the laundry bag. -
Stereolab / Cavern of Anti-Matter / Duophonic Thread

FWIW, my replacement shipment with DPD was uneventful. -
Stereolab / Cavern of Anti-Matter / Duophonic Thread
fondfarewell replied to CeCeCe's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
In my limited experience, DPD is very unreliable. I had an LP that shipped from the UK a couple months ago. Tracking never updated (for what was supposed to be an overnight shipment) so the retailer ended up sending another copy. Original copy showed up randomly after a full month. Tracking still never updated. Thankfully my obi copies here shipped FedEx without issue. I’m surprised they used two different couriers. -
Misplaced Hole in 7" Single
fondfarewell replied to Spiritdance1995's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Just don’t use an adapter, and center it on the platter. You could put another 7” (with a small spindle hole) on top as a guide to help center it. -
Tool Vinyl BUYING GUIDE (Original/Boots, etc.)
fondfarewell replied to topher's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Managed to get singles for both NJ and Brooklyn (~$190 each), but boy is that queue system a mess, especially on mobile. Desktop was alright, but I was constantly knocked back out on mobile when the selected tickets had already been taken. Very nostalgic for the days of either lining up, calling in, or just no goddamn queue system and being able to select “best available”. Clearly all these ridiculous measures don’t curtail secondary sales. I would love for artists to start seriously pushing back on the Live Nation/TM situation. -
International Travel (with vinyl)
fondfarewell replied to LojaRich's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
It will likely be fine. Records are tough. The airline will probably put them through special handling, similar to instruments (and the flight cases look like instrument cases, which isn’t a bad thing), so they probably won’t go on the baggage belts. Take the valuable stuff as carry-on, pack everything with LPs outside the jackets to prevent seam splits, and get straps for the checked ones so they don’t pop open. -
International Travel (with vinyl)
fondfarewell replied to LojaRich's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Theoretically it can be done. Taking a US/EU Delta flight as an example, you can check up to 10 bags. A flight case of 70 LPs shouldn’t be too heavy (~45 lbs). You’d need four of those for 280 LPs. You take the remaining 20 LPs in a small bag as your personal item, one flight case as your carry-on, and you get one checked free if you’re not on a Basic Economy fare. Third one is $100, and the fourth one is $285, for total fees of $385, not including the cost of the cases (probably $200-300). So maybe you can do it for under $700 if you’re just taking records, but if you need to check any other bags, it’s another $285 each. -
International Travel (with vinyl)
fondfarewell replied to LojaRich's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
300 at once is going to be very tough. Airlines won’t allow you to check anything over a certain weight (often 70 or 100 lbs depending on the route/airline). So you’d have to check multiple items, and the excess baggage/overweight fees will be nuts. Consider taking a small carryon case of the most valuable ones, and then looking into freight shipping for something like this for the rest: https://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-CLP200P-Carpeted-Recessed-Hardware/dp/B0002DVBRQ -

I'm almost certain that's Corin. Check out this setlist from a Corin Tucker Band show (Bs, Ds and Es are most obvious to me): -
