I'm gonna take the taoist approach with the CD and have no expectations, that way I cannot be disappointed
 
There are times I want to sell things like these, I too could use an extra $300, but the times I have I've often regretted it later, once that money is gone. I can earn money other ways, I can't produce another collectible from one of my favorite bands in other ways.

I don't really frequent Reddit, and just rely on you guys to funnel the pertinent info into this thread.  That being said, I thank you and appreciate you.
 
I'm sure this only fuels the "double album" fire that fans have been trying to kindle for a while now.  Could this pertain to the mysterious "relevant media"?  I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that they've withheld tracks or demos from the last 8 years, and I also don't think it's too wild to consider that they may want to eventually release that music without it being a part of their "final statement" as a band.  Look no further than some of the live stuff that's never seen a proper release – in particular they've been doing a purely instrumental 8 minute track as an encore in recent years, and I would absolutely love to see it be officially released at some point.
 
Could this be another pre-order to scramble for and shed blood over?  Or maybe something less significant, like an official "we're over, it's been real, thanks" announcement?  Or as speculated above, perhaps worldwide tour dates as a final sendoff?
 
Whatever the case may be, Brand New has always been a bit of a troll band.  We tolerate it because we crave new music, and the wait and hoops tend to be worth enduring or jumping through.  Since they've graced us with such a solid output, I sort of feel as though they may have a lot more trolling to do, now.  The balance must be maintained.

well sure, if you sing different words in a different key to different notes.

Yeah, I felt the same. Billy is actually pretty level-headed when you watch his interviews. I think media likes to take the fact that he said Trump supporters should be allowed to have free speech, and spin it to mean he's a Trump-lover with the same message as the people at the rallies. No, he's just saying he doesn't believe in silencing somebody because they have a different opinion that you. And I agree. I'm neither conservative nor liberal, but I was annoyed at a lot of the immature liberal reactions to Trump's success this past election. I don't like it either, but we have to be mature about it. I also agree with his "entertainment industry doesn't care about facts" statement. They want clicks on their websites so they can profit as much as possible from advertising. 

To me there's a difference between being eccentric and treating your dedicated fans 
like garbage. At the same meet and greet I described earlier there was a guy that flew across the country for this little half-hour acoustic show at Zuzus, brought his Billy Corgan signature Reverend guitar to have autographed, but all he got was "sorry I don't sign guitars." He'd literally given Billy thousands of dollars already, but it was too much for Billy to write his name in return. It just says something about his character. 
 
Still looking forward to hearing the album, and the SP reunion, but I have little respect left for the man himself. 
 
Done ranting now

Being part of a vinyl board and skipping songs in 2017?  Yikes.  Batter Up has some superb vocal melodies, too.  It's such a nice comedown and slow burner after the string of tracks leading up to it.  Love that hazy, surreal outro to it as well – sounds like wandering through a dream you're beginning to wake up from.  Which is kind of perfect if you've got the album on loop and allow it to replay into the intro sample of the woman recalling her dream.

Very, very general. I have never seen any objective evidence to show white vinyl sounding less superior. White is a dye just like black, and any other color. If any color was in fact superior you'd think it'd be a lack of additives, aka clear vinyl. 

Levelled you out.

Paying a huge markup for an autograph is fucking stupid.  I'm a huge Corgan fan and I'll never do it.  A few bucks?  Sure.  But when something is $100 more because of a signature that isn't even personalized, it's bordering extortion.  You'd think with how his later career has gone, he'd be happy to sign a few autographs...

First song from the album and he's already using "lover", no surprise there.  Liked it enough to have me looking forward to the album. Preordered vinyl. Wondering if this stuff will sound like that American Gothic EP he put out in 2007, which I thought was pretty good .

Maybe they are just keeping your money until you learn how to write a sentence or stop using lol like a 12 year old when it's not even relevant.
 
P.s. You can probably get the blink 182 record you want from a board user. 

Damn, guess I got my indie copy just in time from bullmoose before they sold out. $28 is expensive for a bowl but I'm sure my fruity pebbles are going to be delicious in it.

People are allowed to like and dislike whatever they want. I love the album so far but if someone else wants to continue just listening to their older stuff, that's not going to offend me. 

Just got back from Mew! Holy cow what a show! Go see them if you can!
 

 
 
 

Pinback is gonzo 

There's a relatively unheardof indie/alternative band from Boston called The Slip, they have an album called Eisenhower that I think is incredible and should be pressed, but I doubt it'll ever happen since they're not too active anymore. 
 
 
Couple of great songs: 
 
 

This band kicks ass, loved negative qualities. Apparently the singer's family are gold miners in Alaska or something, and when he's not touring or recording he goes and does that lol

It's a KL. Who cares if it's "lazy", that's his signature. I'd say it's unique in its simplicity. That being said, I accidentally slept on this, and if anyone happens to have ordered two, I'd happily buy one from ya. 

Shipping is $3.

I'd highly recommend www.tapeheads.net, the folks over there are tapedeck enthusiasts and will give some good recommendations. A lot of people over there are fans of Nakamichi decks -- Japanese company that made high end decks that can usually be found at very affordable prices now due to lack of interest from the masses. I have one of their entry level decks and it sounds great, would highly recommend looking into them. Maybe check your local craigslist or ebay.

Beautiful! Hoping mine looks similar. How's the sound?

For anyone whose copy hasn't moved yet, here's the response I got from TR:
"Apologies for the delay. This has shipped out and the delay is because of the storm. I've set up an alert for your package but it should scan soon. This also happens sometimes with huge volumes of pick ups. I don't think you need to worry yet, let's give it a few more days to watch out for any movements. I can send a download to you if you'd like."
