SNEAKORDS

this might lead to some lawsuits, there have been quite a few where photos were used to create new works of art and the amount that is required to be considered transformative and fair use isn't met. this might come down to the artist and\or converge\the label giving royalties to the magazine, photographer or even model, depending on contracts, if it's pursused. possibly even preventing future merch from being sold. Case in point, the Shepard Fairey "Hope" poster\merch did have a copywrite infringement lawsuit that ended up being settled out of court with AP and it never got to the point of confirming if it met fair use requirements.

a white tie dye version of the psychonaut shirt that went up (this one https://fashion.youwillloveeachother.com/product/psychonaut-2022-ad-t-shirt-tie-dye-variant/). 7" was the standard release.

members also have a 20% off discount code so it came out to $6.40 (before shipping) which is nice

members get access an hour earlier than everyone else, and one of the shirts going up has an exclusive colourway

I dig the new track a lot more than the previous one. I'm waiting for all the republican\maga fan backlash once they read the lyrics, if there are any left after being told to fuck off in the past.

i totally forgot that Carpet was dropping their Turnstile collection online yesterday, they had a small supply of the records that went up, totally missed it. there's still some shirts though

i didn't realize they were officially done, they lost me after Planet of Ice so I haven't paid attention to them in a long time

Finally found time to sit down and properly listen to the album the whole way through. Musically, I enjoy it. Its not my favourite Deafheaven album by any stretch, but I dig it. Unfortunately I think the vocals really hold the album back and it could have been 100x better with someone else, at least have another person with range and is competent with melody do the clean parts and have George do the screaming and work more of those parts in. Have a duo, kind of Asobi Seksu meets Deafheaven or something. He's just so monotone and lifeless, it really drags down most songs. I can't listen to The Gnashing at all without hearing the Mr Burns comparison someone posted a while ago.

i think this is the first release from ETID where I didn't get a tshirt bundle, kinda hate the designs. just went with the clear splatter.

oh man, march is so far away and I'm still not hopeful about events and border crossings in the future let alone shows, but I'll def go to a show on a tuesday for ETID

2 LPs of the WW theme guitar riff and women ululating. That's all I remember of that movie. record looks nice though.

tried for the blood mage this morning but I was an idiot and accidentally clicked the paypal link, which hung for a minute so it was sold out by the time it recovered. I don't even know the band, I just want to start collecting Wax Mage pressings just because they look cool.

"100% BIODEGRADABLE HARD ECO BOX." this is 100% one of those birthday cards that plays music through a shitty little speaker when you open it. or just a digipak with a download card. but I like the idea of a birthday card that plays an entire album while sounding awful and you can't skip tracks more.

I don't want to get stuck with a record that sounds like Jack Johnson acoustic beach songs on your parents easy listening station tracks so I'm going to wait to see what the rest sounds like.

this actually ain't that bad

super weird that the new track is just a Gravediggaz beat but I'm into it

Listening to this and I forgot to post that my cover is absolutely fucked with tears and creases and the records themselves are pretty badly warped, but at least it plays and sounds good. I'm going to have to break out the vinylflat and see if I can take some of the warp out.

I got the same thing on the 9th, it has nothing to do with this record

I really dig the new track, the tail end seemed to hint at transitioning into something heavy, I'd be a bit disappointed if that wasn't the case, but I like this more than the last album. Thinking of going for the clear w/light blue. And while I generally don't do picture discs, that mockup kind of looks like one side of each record might be one of those zoetrope prints that animate when spinning which could be cool.

yeah given the 2022 logo I'd guess it's a preorder for a 20th anniversary W&T release where they send you FLAC files and a lathe cut kit or the deluxe version is a stamper and a few balls of PVC in various colour combos and you have to press\cut the album yourself, delivery is June next year.

WTF. just logged on to this

Fine Malt Lyrics is a classic album and I would totally get it... but that price is a big no. still better than $230CAD on amazon.ca for the same pressing.

CD from my Vitus order came in. It's a bit funny how faded and yellowed the cover from my GJ order is in comparison.

Loveless Deluxe ordered from the MBK UK site on the 4th just arrived on the west coast of Canada. The mailer was a little beat and the record seemed loose within but surprisingly not even a corner ding. Still have a seam split on the inner sleeve but everything else seems good.
