I took advantage of all the Hastings going out of business and scored these racks for $100. If you've got the room I highly recommend pillaging a Hastings for some. The drawers each have two rows. The bottom ones weirdly aren't tall enough for LPs (they're like a half inch too short), but they fit three rows of 7"s pretty perfectly. Very stoked on this shit...

Zoom out. If the wave forms were really just cut off like that it would be more noise and distortion than music.

Well, repressing "Goddamnit" on like 8 colors followed by another pressing on 4 more isn't exactly just doing it for the sake of keeping it in print (with colored vinyl as the bonus). It's taking advantage of a collector market just like the majors are doing. I'm not criticizing Asian Man for it, but just cause they're a smaller scale and he's operated mostly for a love of doing it doesn't mean he hasn't also taken advantage of opportunities where opportunities lie.

when they did the first couple represses of that it most certainly was a menu of what colors you want. that was the whole thing... getting the nerds to buy multiple copies. it was facilitated through this very site, which was the vinyl collective MO at the time.
 
 
 
 
but what's different about that than majors? they're continuing to press records that sell. 
 
 
 
it costs so much money to do multiple colors of vinyl, especially wacky colors. here was the breakdown of that first repress of goddamnit...
 
1st press: 500 sky blue; 500 white; 500 clear with red splatter; 500 half red/half black; 500 red with black splatter; 500 black/purple/yellow splatter; 500 green/yellow/white splatter; 500 translucent red
 
that's probably a couple thousand dollars just in colored vinyl costs. he could have just done one color and saved a ton of money. but... having just done one color would have meant that those moved way slower. like i said above, at that time vinyl collective took full advantage of folks buying multiple copies of a record. asian man took part in that. again, i'm not faulting him for that, but it's silly to try to paint him as making every decision for his label as this altruistic, for the good of the listener thing.  record labels, big and small, will do things not everyone loves to sell records, and that's their right.

Bump cause I recorded this shit and therefore am stoked for it...

Yup, and the only one where he isn't crooning. The vocal approach on this one doesn't take advantage of the best qualities of his voice.

Or that his works are written for preteens.

If you need to hold a lot these work well...

I'm just still patiently waiting to see if he's gonna have extras to put up. I just wanna hear new tunes from both these bands!
