RSD was awesome for me, I've been on both sides of the counter but this was my first experience managing a record store for RSD. We gave out donuts and coffee for the morning crowd, had local artists perform from open until close. Raffled off concert tickets, new cds, new and used LPs including a gold copy of the Drive soundtrack, brushes and cleaning fluid, a carrying case for 45s filled with rare 45s, some rare Linda ronstadt records (it's an inside joke unless you have been to my shop, we got a collection containing every Linda Ronstadt record or single on any format including 8 track and also variants on just about every country of release from Japan to Argentina, so we did a test pressing and an import picture sleeve and a picture disc LP for the raffle). It was humbling to see that many people having a great time and buying physical media. Sales were up a sizable amount from the previous year, so I'm beaming with pride. I oversaw all the ordering and spent countless hours prepping and it was well worth all the effort, and my staff was on point the whole time and leading up to the event, I could not have done it without them. I rewarded them with gourmet pizza. I in turn was also rewarded because at the end of the day I was still able to grab the Tim Armstrong, Dessa 7" and The Grant Green Slick set. I did snipe one thing and it was the Sundays but I had the other 2 and I was damned if I was going to miss this one but I paid sticker price.  Luckily the other local had a Bert Jansch, so all I missed out on from my list was the Gene Clark and I think I have a line on a leftover. Fantastic experience all and all but I am exhausted. 

yeah, I joined at 14 as a dumbass kid who had a whole host of problems going on (music taste included). Hard to erase that from the internet when you are still on the same site :s
 
now i am about to start college as a proper fucking hipster.

Substream posted update on the SN scandal:

Looks like a past girlfriend talks about her relationship with Cam and how he was emotional abusive. Also documents how SN guitarist Adam tried to get her to take down a comment to Cams statement. 
 
My thoughts: Rape is a criminal offense. Its very serious and anyone who does it should face the consequences. Also, Cam seems to have some major issues with control within relationships. Heck as a husband, I have to work on never trying to belittle my wife. Its a fine line, and some of the stuff in this article makes you wonder how men in the society view their relationships/women in general. Very unfortunate for all in involved, especially the victims. 

yo, that silent barn show last night was some good shit. Here's someone's rip. We got two new songs AND it's the first time he has played a BTMI track since 2013ish as a solo act as far as I am aware

Man, shipping was stellar on this. Can't wait to give it a spin in a few! Going to be the soundtrack to my coursework tonight

so mobile doesn't show signatures and my work has google docs blocked...can you send me the link?

I'll probably use a DD code to grab some jazz stuff that wasn't on that sale but maybe not on this next one... this last week has been insanity for record buys

That ImportCDs+ebay code yesterday beat that out for me

how do MM carts work?

FUCKIN MAGNETS, THAT'S HOW THEY WORK!

Not a big enough fan to grab this but I hope we get some more similar releases in the near future. There's a similar one from K-ON that I want to find at some point.

Miss y'all.

I mean long term it is probably the cheapest and most effective form of birth control

One of my coworkers got really confused when he asked me if I was a Disturbed fan and I said no. He said he had me pegged as one... what am I fucking doing to give off that impression? Gross.

Please don't share this. We need them to know it's time to stop. This has to end. 

My boss saw them perform this on Conan or some shit one night and came in to work the next day, pulled me aside to tell me about how powerful it was, and got choked up just recollecting it. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to run. I wanted to laugh. I was paralyzed. It was an out of body experience. 

thank god it has an instrumental on the B side to justify the price
 

Real talk: I once overheard two of my coworkers talking about how much better this was than the original.

Been checking my tracking on the VC mystery variant occasionally throughout the last week. As of yesterday it was still "pre shipment" just checked and it's out for delivery...good job USPS tracking system!
 
Pretty stoked though

Thanks, I was eyeballing this one and it seemed kind of extravagant.

I've been getting into a lot of this stuff lately, anyone want to recommend some staples?
