I'll bite on a black Decadence when it hits $10. 

Probably should have left the arbitrary and unnecessary detail that you refuse to wear a mask out of your og post.  Anyone with half a brain could have seen this coming.

Opinions and science are not the same thing and that's all I have to add.

when did this thread go from dumping on Ross for all the shady business practices to praising them for their releases? 

Yeah, they like shipped me my copies of the FLCL soundtrack, it was lost in transit, and refused to do anything for like two months. They eventually refunded me. It was a bummer. I kept getting bounced between reps with little care and idk, was just offputting. I've chatted with the owner a few times and he genuinely loves the stuff and seems like a great guy but their whole customer service dept needs an overhaul. 

It’s being mastered for vinyl by Gil Tamayzan at Capsule Labs.
Source: Sammy and David had a live IG chat last night and I asked.

I didn’t see that the second press was still available. I’ll give it another listen and make a final decision!

Wow...the band really needs cash apparently. How about releasing a new fucking album. But who am I kidding, I need to keep the collection complete 😂

Agreed! Seen him twice, both times from way back in the grass. Would love to get some pit tickets for one of his headliners. He really does put on an actual "show" with all of the visual elements.

No new news here, just wanting to express yet again how f**kin' good Oceansize were. Been listening to my ipod the last couple days, due to a road trip yesterday. Listening to it with the songs playing alphabetically and it just got to 'Amputee'. But yeah, this song crushes. Sad I never got to see them live. Still not sure they ever played in the US. 

I think you must’ve missed it the first time. This and Robyn are the only things I saw that piqued my interest, and I feel pretty confident that won’t be too hard to snag one outta 3000.

Still haven’t received the record.
 
::edit::
Recieved both the record and autographed postcard yesterday in the mail. They look great, but my amplifier died a while back an unfortunately I don’t have the money to fix it right now. 

Just got shippin’ confirmation this mornin’!

I received two different emails from their webstore yesterday. One sayin’ “your music is ready to download.” The other “your music will arrive on 6/26/2020.” That doesn’t quite sound like a shippin’ confirmation though.

I need Year Of The Rabbit!!

As much as I love Steven Wilson, it is financially impossible to keep up with his limited edition/deluxe releases!

Should’ve bought the rights to Swan Damage.

may have overpaid for the athletics test press (i thought i was inputting  a max bid ebay-style, not just... what the new bid should be), but dan sent the test press and also a lacquer of the 7". so, that was pretty cool. probably because i paid out the ass, but maybe some other folks got cool throw-ins too

I don't think cartoon network released it, but they may have aired it on their network. I have it on vhs and cassette. I might pick it up but it's not a must have for me

I don't know if I agree with it being childish but maybe they thought you were trolling. Who knows. Plus, they don't owe anyone an explanation for why they're selling old touring materials. Musicians sell old amps and instruments they no longer need/use/want/like. Its not like anyone should suggest to them what they do with that money. I'm not sure I understand the impetus for your suggestion that they ought to donate a portion of the "proceeds" to charity. The "proceeds" are to fund the members eating, paying rent, bills, etc. Again, and I can't stress this enough: they're not a band who has accumulated some extremely large amount of money by being a band. In all likelihood, they may have actually had some troubles simply breaking even on some tours. Its not an uncommon tale for a lot of bands. Being in a band is not necessarily lucrative at all, especially one that has been hovering under the mainstream for roughly 20 years.
 
I love the band but without a rabid and incredibly wide demand for them to produce output and play shows, its hard to perpetuate the activities of releases and tours. They have done it but its probably pretty hard. The fact that they don't keep a strict schedule of album/tour/album/tour with a near predictable frequency is a clue that its probably not an incredibly financially stable endeavor. There are plenty of bands in scenes that are not mainstream who manage to keep going with record releases and tours consistently and those are ones who are probably doing at least well enough to perpetuate that schedule. I doubt anyone in dredg is impoverished necessarily (to be fair, I have no idea)  but there's no reason to view a band advertising the sale of their materials and suggest that they donate any part of the money they earn from it. Let's pretend that even one band member is even slightly food insecure. If that was you and someone suggested that you donate your proceeds of a sale you were conducting to try make sure you could eat, do you think that maybe you might delete a comment that you found distasteful in the face of your struggle?

It's not just a clever name

I can't tell if anyone in this thread is being sarcastic , just has atrocious taste in music or a little of both . 

The judges would have accepted “nookie” here.
