Jamming all these new song drops, so glad I nabbed the 180g press. Holy shit, the boys are jamming at 100% dopeness and I can't wait to hear it all at it's highest potential!

Just make sure you use PayPal for that buyer protection!

I actually JUST looked up if there was an update - looks like it's delayed til early 2022, Dec 2021 if lucky

Thanks. Hopefully Travis's insurance stops jerking him around! 

This record completely slipped my mind, but is still available for pre-sale via bandcamp. Have they shipped out at all or has there been any update about it?

Got this yesterday from the second round 😍😍 love it. Bad Astronaut is Joey Cape at his finest

 

Words cannot describe how fucking happy I am to have Houston and 12 Small Steps... on vinyl! BA is easily a top 2 all time favorite band. My entire style of bass playing is based on Marko 72's lines throughout their discography.

whelp! Kyle has indeed left (been kicked out?) of the band https://www.instagram.com/p/CR4b3IysPgr/ 

Dude! That fucking SUCKS! Those are gonna be big shoes to fill. He shreds, and contributed a lot to their overall sound :,(

I don't have super high hopes for this next record tbh. From the Lisa Frank artwork style to the fact that it's being marketed like a Leah solo album, it seems like it's gonna be a whole LP of Double Down but with a ton of guitar pedal experimentation. I pre-ordered a yellow indie copy from Bull Moose given it was like $16 cheaper than getting the rainbow one from their site, but I'm very skeptical, which really bums me out 😕

Will probably grab that Hold Steady LP, that record is really dark and cool. 

8-bit EP now available on another format...

Run For Cover's CS fuckin' stinks. I placed in order in late May during whatever sale they were running at the time, they purchased a shipping label for my order but never dispatched it. When I reached out to their CS they told me I have to wait at least 45 days before they will even look into the fucking issue, still got 6 more days to go lol

UPDATE: so I ended up opening a PayPal dispute cause I don't even want the damn record at this point, now they're actually offering to help but only if I close the dispute first 😂

Hey they have a four year old album that some of us celebrate.

My point still stands. They ain't milkin' that one every couple years like they do with the first two LPs (and later EP, apparently Kiss Kise Bang Bang is universally disliked) lol

The shit this band manages to get away with (with 20 year old songs at that) never ceases to amaze me 😂

no love for the 180g black?

figured that would be the first variant to go given that they were both /300. 

/shrug 

I'm always down for a 180g record over a standard weight one. Never have issues with surface noise.

Splatter is gone, grabbed a 180g instead.

Why do Long Island bands hate their fans so much? 😂 

Seems like TBS is the only LI band from this era that doesn't make it impossible or ridiculously expensive for their fans to own their records. Yeesh. 

🎶Sometimes the collected wisdom of strangers can put a smart man squarely in danger. I used to believe a thing just because I heard it and now I confess I was far stupider for it🎶

I don't know if anyone else here follows Pat's podcast Worst Possible Timeline, but it's cool as hell to see him turn arguments/points he's made there into actual songs.

Been streaming it while I wait for the record, I like it a lot. Much cooler than the last LP.

I thought I saw the general retail in hand, maybe only some got finished?

I think Pat or the official DC IG posted a story of the white/pink variant the other day. Maybe some variants took longer than others 😕

This is similar to how I am now. I really only buy new releases. I feel like my back catalogue is complete for everything I truly want. 

This. Got most, if not all, of the records and tapes I was after. Now I typically just buy records to support bands/labels I dig.

Loving this single - can't wait for this album now! (I was a little hesitant after the 2nd single) 

 

Seems kinda weird none of the other band members are in any of these videos, or any of the social media promo. I assumed it was because they were shot in the middle of the pandemic, but now I'm thinking it's intentional. They probably don't care, but it's odd given they are a vital part of this band's sound (at least when they're playing actual rock songs). 

I also wanna throw in Against Me! and Modern Baseball.

Lawrence Arms and Menzingers feel like they should be here too, but their old material is pretty scrappy and unpolished. Almost feel like you appreciate it more AFTER hearing their more recent material.
