No worries. Always good to be reminded of that time I said                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Can't we all just fucking get along!? Zayzay word of advice don't let shit get to you on here it's the Internet. People bitch about anything and everything I mean seriously there way more things to worry about in this world then to get worked up over the fact that you capitalized the first letter in every word of that sentence I thought that was a little silly to throw a fit about. But just let it go cuz it won't make anything any better trying to reason your point. Just periodically ask your hot topic vinyl related questions on here and wait for Travis to answer he's insanely busy so yeah I said my piece. 

It's cute that you think you deserve some sort of special treatment so you don't have to act like a normal, respectful person...
Lighten up when people give you the slightest bit of shit, and don't fly off the handle on tirades and none of this will be necessary.

Do people not like Juggernaut?  I thought it was great. I like P2 as well. Didn't realize people didn't like Juggernaut so much....

Opened?

My boy Alt reaping the rewards of success 

100% agree. I don't really care if he does those things. My only concern is that it may be a red flag that he's not doing well if he wasn't doing those things before, put together with the long tour schedule, the divorce, and known anxiety problems.

This really makes me sad. He has some anxiety issues. He told AP that's why he quit in the first place. That could be part of the reason he seems so run down.

I hope he can stick it out.

wow I hope that dude is doing ok, not that I condone his behavior but I just hope it doesn't end up being self destructive

Aaron is also going through a divorce. I overheard him talking about it during the Meet & Greet. Seems like a rough time in his life right now. Did he always used to smoke/drink/cuss? Cause I know he's Christian and it just seems like his whole lifestyle has changed. I saw him on his solo tour and he was very off-putting. He's the only one I'm worried about with this rebirth of the band. Fingers crossed for new music from them.

Do you want us to go to his house and beat him up or something? Why post his home address on VC instead of filing a Discogs support request, reporting him to their staff and letting them handle it in an appropriate manner?

Happy about this, less happy that their west coast dates are just 3 CA shows.

This thread is the worst. Is there a "block thread" feature so I can never be tempted to come stare at the car crash?

He wont answer this question. They are discontinuing vinyl.

Travis, 
Are the hot topic stores phasing out in-store vinyl and bringing it all online?
Can you say?

Just picked up my white whale today.
 

 
A quick birthday story: I went to Amoeba today to do a quick browse and when I got to the back near the electronic and hip hop vinyl I glanced up at the rare record wall. Looking right back at me was the original Australian pressing of the only album The Avalanches ever put out, Since I Left You. It was my third time seeing a version of it in the wild, but I had never seen the original Aus pressing for sale in real life or online. Sleeve had a bit of wear but the disks were clean!
One of my top 10 albums of all time, I knew I had to buy it. I grimaced for a few minutes at the price, but it was too much of a cosmic coincidence for me not to get it. It appeared to me as a gift to buy myself for my birthday, and who am I to argue with the universe?
Just listened to it and it sounds immense and incredible - like hearing it for the first time again.

My white whale is Caspian - Tertia - Translucent Maroon - EU exclusive - /150
AND I JUST FUCKING GOT IT.
If you're a post rock fan you know what a whale this album is. Only about ten people have it out of the /150. Everyone is convinced these fell in a black hole in Europe never to be seen of again. I've only heard of it being sold once for a massive $200. I got it for almost half that. Four years of searching it's finally mine. I can't believe it.
I'm so fucking stoked. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

cool, can I still not like the 2 released songs subjectively? 

Your stomach doesn't feel quite right and you need to run to the bathroom for an emergency, right?No shame, I have faked gastrointestinal distress for preorders before.

Travis,
Now's where you come in and say
"Yes and No"

Wouldn't surprise me if they were slowly phasing out in store vinyl in favor of online sales. It also wouldn't surprise me if Travis wasn't allowed to publicly share that information. It seems like their online exclusives sell pretty well (that's just from casually following this thread) but from what I've heard from people I've known who worked at hot topics vinyl isn't a big in store seller. Brick and mortar retail space isn't cheap and they need to fill that space with shit that moves.
