http://shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr264 Available on black and limited orange w/ deep purple splatter /200. "You're Doomed. Be Nice. is Rob Crow's first album since his heavily- publicized withdrawal from music – specifically the toxic byproducts of the lifestyle of a touring professional musician attempting to survive in an industry of diminishing returns. Rather than perform, record, and mix every note himself – a trademark of his previous solo endeavors – Crow formed Gloomy Place, a band made up of close friends that includes another member of the beloved Heavy Vegetable. Recorded and mixed by Ben Moore (Hot Snakes), You're Doomed presents a fascinating dichotomy: dynamic, eclectic prog-pop backing alarmingly confessional, often acerbic lyrical themes. This juxtaposition makes for an album of confrontational yet accessible songs filled with wry wit and emotional depth. You're Doomed. Be Nice. is the diamond carved out of a particularly rough chunk of Rob Crow's life – one that's either the first gem of an inspired second act, or the culmination of an undeniably influential career. In either case, the quality of its cut will last a lifetime."

Correct. The tour variant is just white. I brought my own violet/white swirl to get signed.

Yes they had it.

Saw them in Minneapolis last night with Foxing and TTNG. 9 people on a tiny stage made for an interesting dynamic. Great show but I didn't realize Greg had left and the vocals were more raw than expected. And no female vocal parts on January 10th, or any other song, which I'd been looking forward to. Instrumentation was top notch. Derrick was super cool and got everyone to sign my copy of Harmlessness. Also grabbed the limited screen print, cat t shirt, and the Between Bodies EP. TWIABP can just have all my moneys.

B to the UMP

Mine shipped 2 days ago and is already to Minneapolis where I live. Should be at my door in another day or two.

Got to see Turnover play a few songs last night, chatted with them afterwards and they signed some stuff. Real nice dudes. The guitarist was more baked than a Lay's potato chip and I talked about existential bullshit with him for like an hour. 10/10 would see again. Also, he said they've already recorded new material.

Had mine shipped to a nearby store, pumped to pick it up tomorrow.

Which mellon collie press?

I have a vinyl-only account @vinylnihilist

At this point I've learned to expect that. I picked up Broken Social Scene's limited purple reissue of "You Forgot It In People", and two days later a dude is selling one on Discogs for $150. I purposely went to the store to try to get one because I knew flippers would be selling them for an arm and a leg.

Here we go. Was waiting for this. First one listed for sale on Discogs: $150.

This album has some great pop/rock songs and I love them all, but for me it's no competitor against something game-changing like OK Computer.

Spinning for the first time right now! You guys weren't fucking around, this is an incredible album! Agreed with how well it sounds. Wow.

Mine is the '72 reissue, not as cool as yours I have the same High Violet, it's much more vibrant than this without light behind it. But I've never held it up to see if some cool light comes through.

I was just able to place an order for the signed Dizzy. Very excited about this. Loved this album since I was a kid.

Received my white/purple today, never got a shipping notification.

Agreed. Picked mine up today. It's definitely got a hidden beauty. Regular vs. backlit.

Called my store, they had one in stock and were even nice enough to hold it for me.

I found out a store near me has at least one of these in stock. Gonna pop over there tonight and see if I can pick it up.

Idk man, people say white people are narcissistic jerks, but I'm white and I'm pretty fucking awesome. Anyway, the 45rpm thing can be explained (faster speed = more groove hits the needle in the same amount of time = more detailed sound), but I've had some of every color/type of press that has sounded good, and some that have been bad. I don't think color makes a difference, I think it's all to do with the precision and care taken during the pressing process. The only sensible better-sounding color to me is clear, since there's no dye in it at all, it's pure vinyl. I've never heard that dying it makes it more durable though. And as far as 180 gram, all that does is prevent warping, the grooves are the same depth/width. Maybe some resonance in the LP itself would be different since it's thicker, but I don't think that would be noticeable with human hearing.

Yeah but I'm just saying I've never heard any science to back that up. Wanna prove something, gotta know science facts.

Why? I think you'd have to know the temperature the stamper was at. If it was set properly, color or blend of colors shouldn't make a difference. Although sometimes I swear clear vinyl sounds the best. More than likely I just happen to have several clear albums that were done really well though.
