Need this.

My birthday is next week so hopefully the code lasts that much longer and I can place another order!

Performed at The Fest in Gainesville this past weekend and picked these up. Touché Amore - Is Survived By (record release show variant /397) I wrote a blurb about TA for the Fest Guidebook. I was talking to Jeremy before the show and he said it was awesome. When I asked to buy a copy of ISB, he reached under the table and said "I snuck one rare variant in" and he gave me the transparent dark blue variant, only available at the record release show. Native - Wrestling Moves Have Heart - Songs To Scream At The Sun Death Grips - The Money Store Touche Amore - Live At BBC 1: Volume 1 Touche Amore - Live At BBC 1: Volume 2 Kyle Kinane/The Slow Death - Split Ceremony - Scared People Topshelf Records 4 way split (Prawn, AGBPOL, Diamond Youth, Field Mouse)

I'm over halfway through the driver about 6 hours to go. Super psyched for the bands, super nervous to perform. Need drinks and pizza.

Where did you get the blue Patton variant? I have the black first press.

Same. I'm not leaving till 4:30 (then driving 15 hours straight down) so hopefully I'll be able to pick this up.

Marc Maron - Thinky Pain Jimmy Pardo - Sprezzatura The Lonely Island - Turtleneck And Chain Weezer - Everything Will Be Alright In The End

I have a clear copy but this pink looks rad.

This just got pushed back to December 23. Blah.

My first order should be coming in today! Thinking about placing a second order before the end of the week. For those of you that preordered stuff, did they charge right away or do they charge when it ships?

This is my first Fest so excuse the maybe dumb question, but how is the merch set up? Do the bands set up at the venue they're playing or is there one area where it all is?

There's a lot of standup on vinyl nowadays. Vagrant (I think) just put out Oh My God by Louis CK, Subpop put out Sarah Silverman's latest. A company called Stand Up! Records has released stuff by Patton Oswalt, Lewis Black, David Cross, Kinane's first album, and a ton of others. AST is another standup label that has done Jonah Ray and Jimmy Pardo. Third Man has stuff by Bill Burr, Rory Scovel, and Neil Hamburger. And Comedy Central Records this year alone has pressed Jim Gaffigan, Marc Maron, and now Kinane. Sorry for the list, I'm a comic and have a big collection of standup on vinyl (pretty much everything I listed and then some), so I just like to let people know that it's out there.

http://www.musicdirect.com/p-241396-kyle-kinane-whiskey-icarus-lp.aspx Kyle Kinane is one of the best stand up comedians working today. He's an amazing comic and just a great dude. His album Whiskey Icarus was on numerous end of year best of lists when it was first released in 2012 and is finally seeing a vinyl release via Comedy Central Records. If you're not familiar, here's a clip from Whiskey Icarus

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Mandatory Fun

If anyone going to Fest doesn't have a band to see between noon and 4 Saturday and Sunday, I suggest going to the Fest Comedy Showcase at Rockey's. It features 20 of the funniest up and coming comics from across the country (and me) and it's going to be super rad. Also, if you're in the area and don't have a Fest wristband, I have comps for the comedy shows.

Got 3 comedy records and the new Weezer record for $55 shipped so I'm pretty stoked.

Yeah, I'm not happy about that. It maybe happened twice per side except side D. Most of the time when it happened it would just jump ahead a few seconds. I think only once it would repeat. It seems like a lot of people are having that problem. What I said I was happy about was the new master, not the skips and jumps.

Listened to the whole thing, a few skips here and there. I thought the new master sounded really good though.

All that's catching my eye is the Last Christmas 12".

Got my gray today, only listened to side A and I think it sounds great. There was one skip in during IKS but it just jumped ahead. Other than that, I'm happy with it so far.
