Per their IG... https://www.instagram.com/p/C3-P87AK3rB/?igsh=ZDE1MWVjZGVmZQ== "Physical versions of our newest EP go up for sale next week Wednesday 10am EST 7am PST. 4 new "Here, Hear" tracks + 4 b-sides from a new alternative writing project, called "MEANTIME" on both vinyl and cassette. There's alink in our bio to pre-save. Don't sleep, click. Two songs new to the general public ahead of that: "16" and "Reformation," both written and released first via Patreon over the last two years, then again (albeit briefly) for the holiday fundraiser, available now to stream. "16" is the most recently completed track from the ongoing Here, Hear series, a supplementary songwriting project that started in 2008 and migrated online during the early months of COVID shutdown. Beginning with a creative prompt from Adam called "This Song Will Self-Destruct" participating members were asked to "break" something over the course of the parts they contributed. The result is a song that both does and does not fall apart entirely itself, or at least we feel it does both things. Give it a listen yourself and decide. "Reformation" is the most recent installment of a new alternate writing endeavor, titled "MEANTIME" in which songs are built words first, beginning with an audio recording from Jordan before being sent to one instrumentalist in the band to flesh the track out musically (in this song's case, one Corey Stroffolino). More of both to come at some point. For now, these are heading your way, digitally and physically, for the interested." https://youtu.be/QPAYxMOR3M0?si=Cbek1iJdsiELsCRk

Signals Midwest and ANORAK have a split 7" (have no idea where you'd get a copy) out to promote their tour in Japan, and hot damn these songs rip! Signals Midwest really goes the extra mile here. I've always enjoyed their more straight forward/high energy sound in this scene, but this single definitely shows off the more creative side of their song writing. If anything this feels closer to a Dikembe song but without all the sappy glum despair they can't seem to get away from (with the exception of Hail Something, which is my favorite release of their's but it doesn't get much love).

Ah, I see Kinsella didn't get enough over saturation of airy effects and digital drums on the last American Football LP. -
Like eveyone else in this thread my buying habits are at an all time low. I probably only bought maybe 6 records total last year, but still spent as much as I would've if I were buying 20 in 2015. I will only preorder albums from bands I trust to put out quality releases. I'll only buy represses of things I don't own in any capacity (for example the repress of Further Seems Forever - How To Start A Fire), but I always go for the cheaper indie release variant or if a holiday is near I'll wait for the label to do a sale and get whatever is available. Variants don't matter to me at all anymore. My biggest gripe with the wildly inflated prices is that even small DIY bands have followed suit. In the early 2010s and late 2000s buying records was my primary way of checking out new bands and artists. Figured since I wasn't going to shows as often it was a fair way for me to support smaller artist, and these boards specifically pointed me in the direction of some killer acts that have become lifelong favorites, but I just can't afford to do that anymore. I pay $25/month for YouTube Premium (family plan), and it's worth it for the music streaming and video features, but I definitely have a much harder time finding new bands to check out. I need to start putting whatever I would've spent on records into stock piling ammo. Clearly Mexico is finally taking back the South West and I have to be prepared to become a nomad when the shit hits the fan 🤣

Looking for Rilo Kiley - Under The Blacklight, if anyone comes across it online please shoot me a link! -
This year has fucking rocked! I honestly think the last time I had this much new killer music to listen to was a decade ago. Favorites in no particular order: AJJ - Disposable Everything Menzingers - Some of it Was True Crime in Stereo - House in Trance Gaslight Anthem - History Books Blink 182 - One More Time McLusky put out a bad ass EP called Unpopular Parts of a Pig, the new IDLES single is super promising and I can't wait to hear their new album. Only 2 albums that didn't meet my expectations were the new Taking Back Sunday and new Spanish Love Songs records. I need to spend more time with the former, the latter has a strong first half and ending but the middle is a snoozefest. Hoping 2024 brings us a new Iron Chic record 🤞

PO Now: Taking Back Sunday - 152

I genuinely appreciate your profile pic/username update significantly more than this record. -
Thoughts from sellers about inflation situation?
Shitty Rambo replied to t198's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I could've sworn there was a thread on here a handful of years ago about "HD Vinyl" or some crap that was supposed to be a cheaper and faster new method to press records, but I can't find it now. But like OP said, the pressing prices haven't skyrocketed. I always thought the fact that there are only a few plants in existence was causing all the major delays and mark-ups. It sucks some indie bands are charging $40 for a self released record via bandcamp because that's the going rate at Target. Like yeah, secure the bag, but don't overshoot the moon. -
PO NOW: Blink 182 - One MoreTime (out 10/20/23)

These bonus songs are good. Yeah it's 17 tracks long already, but they shoulda just put em on there anyways 😅 -

It did not. Sorry for the double quote, this site is damn near impossible to properly navigate on mobile with all the ads 😵 -
PO NOW: Blink 182 - One MoreTime (out 10/20/23)
Shitty Rambo replied to andables's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
That was the variant I pre-ordered as well (because paying with Venmo got me $5 off, making it the cheapest option, also I love not paying for records until they ship). Your comment prompted me to open my copy cause it's been sitting on the shelf since I received it, luckily it is a white copy. I really hope you're able to sort this out cause this definitely sucks 😕 -

Dancer single kicks ass. I love that these guys can write an upbeat song but still make it aggressive as hell. -

Digital album art is reminiscent of the TOYPAJ "mug shots". Listened to that 1:15:00 interview they posted on YouTube. Really excited to hear this long last/redone Boxcar song (Terrified), and to hear the hardcore song Travis wrote/sings. -

Shitty Rambo replied to andables's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
This Fell In Love song is a rough one. Starts off sounding like royalty free YouTube music, like the stuff that plays over those "lifehack" videos where someone grinds up pencil lead and mixes it with super glue to make a secondary key instead of buying one at Home Dept for $3 lol -

Travis's drums on More Than You Know are super rad. Seems like he's venturing out of his typical style. OG Blink getting back together is the only rad thing that's happened to the world in the last 7 years 😅 Also who's selling that clear/red swirl variant, Target? Edit: NVM, see it was on their official site and is now sold out. If anyone is gunning for the indie variant you can pre-order it from Amoeba and use code 'SEP15' to get 15% off. Takes to $34 and some change shipped. https://www.amoeba.com/one-more-time-coke-bottle-clear-vinyl-lp-blink-182/albums/4343595/ -
Spanish Love Songs - No Joy (8/23)
Shitty Rambo replied to HeartSwells's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm glad they aren't doing cheesy Modern Baseball-esque pop punk guitar leads anymore, but this record is following suit with the modern "vibe" music trend where everything needs to be sonically chill enough to play at the background of a party filled with faux mullets and dangly TikTok earrings. I was hoping the majority of the record would be more similar to the Haunted single, but this is the same direction Graduating Life went with their final LP. I'll take this sound over the hyper oversaturated synthetic nightmare bands like The National have moved into, but it's becoming a bit derivative. The lyrics on this album are really good though, the writing is definitely more grown-up compared to the last LP. I'm hopeful it'll click with me, but right now it feels like I'm going out of my way to listen to this record. -
