Stravinsky

royals and cubs MAYBE, but you are correct

This band is hilarious. Most overrated humans on earth put out a fucking masterpiece, then break up only to come back and tarnish said masterpiece a decade-ish later. Classic.

Jim Ward is the man.

fuck these guys.

Ironic, considering we are a nation of immigrants. Immigrants built this country.

I truly don't mean this in an offensive way to you, thebiglebowski, in any way, and I'm not saying there needs to more immigration (I think it's a very complex answer with no straightforward answer).
 
BUT, that statement is very uninformed, ignorant, and around the wrong company could be quite offensive.
 
As a Manager at several different workplaces in several different industries, and as a data collection manager for the government regarding immigrants and their education the idea that they are all (or even as a majority) unskilled laborers is simply incorrect.
 
The reason they end up in all of the unskilled jobs is not that they themselves are unskilled, but that their education does not correlate/is not recognized in north america.  The majority of the immigrants I've worked with or surveyed had skills to offer that our over regulated industries would not accept.  Please know that I'm not saying that regulations should be relaxed, again it's a very complex issue without a straightforward answer.
 
 
EDIT: I still feel like this is worded too strongly, it's really not flamebait or an invitation to argue.  I just truly think that many people are misinformed when it comes to this point.  There are tons of Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, etc, that drive cabs, own gas stations, and work at corner stores because their education is not recognized and they don't have the means to go through school again.

God I wish I could hear any Pinback album again for the first time. Especially BSL and Summer in Abaddon.

I really hope there will be an option to pay less than $50 for this record.

Love 'em.

That's a weird thing to say on vinylcollective without any context.  Did you have some specific problem?  They have been absolute sweethearts to me, going over the top with customer service.

A kickstarter update email went out a few days ago that said that the kickstarter copies should ship in march, so march/april most likely.

I am still scratching my head. This album was avail for preorder for weeks. 2 days after its released he dies and all of the "diehard bowie " fans are upset they didn't get the " variant".
If you are a diehard bowie fan, you don't care about the color and just want the music and probably had a copy before he died.
This thread is about as good as that Baggs pro rock thread

Who cares, there are plenty of people who bought these solely because they were cheap and don't give a shit about the bands. I haven't seen that much grateful dead or velvet underground talk on this board all year

Probably shouldn't refer to your elders as kiddo   You pissed in my cheerios.  "if these are the new "scene-points"/"punk-points", I'm going to laugh to myself (at you) and carry on with my day"  In the time it took you to type that snide remark, you could have visited the Bullmoose website and discovered what they are for yourself. I guess it'd be easier to wait around all day for someone on a message board to clarify this for you?
 
Took me two seconds to google this, and it was the first link in the search:

I would argue there is no trend. They have a high success rate with pre-orders (100% from personal experience), and that speaks volumes. Customer service rocks. Prices are friendly. Returns are painless as well. Is that not enough?
 
I have absolutely no clue what "scene-points"/"punk-points" are, and I'm the one laughing at you for suggesting such nonsense.
 
I'm a bit perplexed how a vinyl enthusiast (don't you work at a distribution center, too?) can remain so clueless about who is arguably the leader (or one of) in online vinyl sales.
 
 
 
 

The obvious answer being I didn't order from TurntableLab/etc., so why should I care if they fulfill their orders?
 
I have zero level of "concern" with Bullmoose. I pre-order with them almost exclusively, and have nothing but excellent things to say about them and their customer service.

Nice!
 
I was listening to Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds just the other day too! Such a great album. 

It's mighty clear who he's channeling...
"Lick a camel's ass
Lick a moose's dick
Suck my doggie's cock
Suck a honey badger's ass
Suck my dog's dick
Suck my dog's dick
Suck my dog's dick
Suck my dog's dick"

Looking for The Life and Times stuff...

I'm going to start an online petition to remove Nels from the band so they can go back to putting out solid albums. Pat can stay but Tweedy does all soloing.

And if you include all the teams from the divisions laughing stock years, 4 of the 6 are now currently occupying playoff spots.

ANYONE WHO HAS PLAYED BOTH THE A AND THE B SIDES OF AN ALBUM HAS FLIPPED A RECORD

GO!!
