You might also just need to clean the record.

A lot of people have complained about the recent reissues of this album.  I just checked discogs and people were complaining about the 2nd side and especially B2 skipping.  Here is what someone said.
 
"The second side of my version is close to unplayable. Skips abound (similar to those saying B2 skipped). Will be looking for another version soon. Very disappointed."
 
Might want to look into a better/older pressing of that record.

expensive shit is right 

Couldn't agree more on splatters. Hot Topic ran that shit into the ground. 

Clear bores the hell out of me, and splatter became annoying a long time ago.
 
I like colorful combinations that match the artwork or are at least unique.
 
Smashes, splits, color in color, tri-color, striped...all still good with me.

Same here.
 
Mine will be $11 or $12 at my LRS.
 
Also hoping to grab the tour variant next Tuesday in Milwaukee. 

Just picked up the /300 locally for $11. Glad I didn't preorder anywhere. 

Huh! I may try to get one just so I can have a bottle of something from batch 000001! That's awesome.

May have to look for a bottle of that Benchmark. Hard to go too wrong with Buffalo Trace.

If I'm buying something that's new, I expect it to be in new condition. Would you be pissed if the car dealership gave you a brand new car with a ding on the door and expected you to pay full price? Why should you care? The ding doesn't affect the driving at all!
 
 

Got Third Eye Blind tickets for June. It's in Clearwater, my girlfriend's old stomping grounds, so we're gonna do a weekend to see some of her old friends and stuff. 

Injured cyclist Greg Germani opens online store to fund recovery expenses

It’s been more than two years since a man in a red Dodge Nitro intentionally ran over cyclist Greg Germani, disabling him for the rest of his life.
During his recovery, Germani has begun recycling old vinyl records, turning them into Christmas wreaths. That’s expanded into jewelry, coasters and notebooks, all made from reused vinyl records and album covers. He’s sold of these items from the front yard of his Decatur home. Decaturish Editor and Publisher Dan Whisenhunt owns one of his notebooks. It’s easy to carry around while reporting and it looks sweet, too.
  Germani’s girlfriend, Beth Harrill, has decided to move Germani’s operation online. She’s established an Etsy store, VinylUpcycleGeorgia, with proceeds going to pay for Germani’s medical expenses.
“Greg is a tremendous vinyl record enthusiast,” the Etsy store listing says. “Throughout his recovery, music has been a great source of therapy.”
People interested in buying Germani’s products can do so by visiting:

In June 2014, Germani was riding his bike home from work when he got into an argument with a man driving a red Dodge Nitro, Joseph Alan Lewis. Following the argument, Lewis came back and hit Germani with the vehicle, leaving him for dead.
Lewis in 2015 pleaded guilty to some of the charges related to that incident and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
In a 2016 interview with Decaturish, Germani said he’s thankful for the life that he has under the circumstances.
He said, “I’m a big looker at the big picture and I see people sometimes who have unbelievable hardships to deal with and they just go about their day and that’s what I try to do, is remember that yeah, sometimes it’s a tough thing I’ve got to deal with but, all in all in life, I’ve had it pretty damn good.”

Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place

Are you sure it's  just not a fever you can sweat out?

The answer was literally 2 pages back

Plus $11.94 priority mail shipping...only s&h option.
 
It is literally cheaper almost everywhere else you can buy it from.

Love this show! 
 
That said, I can't come up with a reason to own this. 

Haha nice. I didn't even look at the shipping. Nevermind everyone, nothing to see here haha

Cheers for the 'warm welcome'.

So i will just put this out there now.
- I will update info when i have it and its confirmed.
- I do not run Hot Topic, so i don't have control over shipping/cancellations/online issues. Customer service can assist you with that stuff.
- Just like Travis was, I am here to give you guys info and updates when i have the time (i work for HT not VC), but please check threads and older pages before blowing up my inbox haha.
- I have been using these boards for over 6 years, so i wouldn't say i am exactly 'new' to this haha.
- With all that being said, i mean it in the nicest way possible & i am happy to help!

Thanks!

Decent prices for these on bullmoose, but for anyone in Southern Wisconsin / Northern Illinois, Exclusive Co stores are getting these in or can special order them for better prices.
 
I just ordered Cracked Rear View for $18.99 and Immaculate Collection for $29.99

Just ordered the purple variant through Bull Moose for $26.97.
