Nadja / Aidan Baker / related - catch all thread
Mars replied to radiatorhums's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I collaborations are different than splits though, and if memory serves, both Vampillia as well as Pyramids were collaborations - which worked well for sure. the one with Uochi Toki, on the other hand, didn't work with me. The Bungled & the Botched is definitely one of my favs., as is Under the Jaguar Sun. The experimentation of the separate tracks designed to be combined was neat, but the band's mix is where it is at: https://brokenspineprods.bandcamp.com/album/under-the-jaguar-sun-chalchiuhtlicue-rain-pwyc. My first exposure to Nadja was Skin Turns to Glass, which is going wayyyy back. Agreed - 2xlp is totally a bummer for the longer tracks, takes me out of the song. I will spend some more time with sonnborner, it is overdue. -

I struggle with splits. I like the artwork though More of the sound and tones of Tangled (and Sv... (ish). Vocals are more pronounced than usual . Queller and Dagdrom are great. I need to spend more time with Sonnborner though -

My records arrived (thankfully) unscathed. Everything looks good (flat, clean), but I haven't had the chance to spin them yet. -

That Distressor is a beaut! I grabbed both, but opted not to get the bundle, because I know I'd flip through the book once and never pick it up again. -

Listened to the live stream and I gotta disagree with the boredom. Not visually stimulating perhaps, but I thought the backlit stage with the band in shadows was pretty fitting for them. That said, I thought the band sounded amazing. Not at all a dull musical performance. -
Dead Swords and Timelost are great - I'll have to check out the other two!
-
What about Holy Fawn? Lacing is great. Seconded!
-
I saw them open/co-headline with All Them Witches a couple years ago, great show!

The thing about shipping costs are that they are not the same for everyone. A store or record company often has a corporate account, so shipping a package costs much less that for the normal person shipping a package. I have had packages from Powell's books in Portland that were heavier and a fraction of the cost, for example. At any rate, my original comment was commiserating with a wish that the band was still on Profound Lore. Shipping costs are one of the reasons for that. I have already placed my order and paid the shipping. My buddy and I order together to try to save on some shipping costs, and many times the price difference between 1 copy and 2 is only a small increase. That's not the case with the bigcartel sites from my experience. Lastly, the downvote thing was meant as a sarcastic, nostagic, playful jab. Seems like your yelp comment is just meant to bait, and I won't take part in any further back and forth with insults. -

It's not normal for a 3 lb package from Portland to Ontario to cost $39. I have seen multiple websites calculate shipping differently and it has been much less. But that isn't the point. I didn't say anything blaming the band for the cost. I agreed with a statement wishing the band was still on Profound Lore, which is the same city that I am in, and so I would not need to pay ANY shipping. Not to mention, none of the limited variants will be showing up at my local store. How about you think a minute before calling someone stupid for an offhand comment? Damn I miss the downvote button. -

Not to mention the shipping cost to Canada and Int'l. I threw up in my mouth before I hit 'checkout'. -

Mars replied to BeerMonger's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
yeah, I snagged it too, test press looks cool too, but out of 50? just a different variant, not really a test, no? That game set is soooo gimmicky, but I want it. Too pricey for me. -
