tug

a couple years ago Spencers Gifts sold records too but they were not exclusive colors like with hot topic.  so they said no one knew they were there or bought them and they were super cheap on clearance plus bogo$1 and i got a couple records for under 10 bucks as gifts.

vinyl is the trend so companies will try to make $$$ off it.  this is good for people who love big collections but most people would just buy the record they want without trying to get it in a mystery box.

i may buy some KORN vinyl as they were my favorite band in the 90s aka my the time before the used.

swish!

... to who? 

Think of it this way... 15 years ago the used released their first album. At the time they were on unknown/barely known band.  Now 15 years later they are one of the most well-known revolutionary sounds of rock and one of the most influential bands of our era and one of the best bands in rock 'n' roll history and it all started with this one album that's considered one of the most important albums in rock history. 

P.s. Awesome avatar. 

5 years ago when  I started working at hot topic. A guy bought a Foo Fighters shirt and told me that he was buying it because they just broke up and since I hadn't heard a song of theirs since then I believed him. OMG this is exciting they still going.

You've been a member of this forum for over two years now. You should have figured out how things work around here by now. And yet, here we are, with another pointless update to a thread that should be buried in the depths of this board. 

Huh? Did you even read my post? 15 year anniversary is not pointless. It's pretty significant.

Do you like Radiohead, tug?

I like 1, 2, 3+ songs by hundreds of bands. 

So in other words it's  a live greatest hits?

im confused, are the 3 unreleased tracks part of the 8 b-sides or 11 tracks total.  and are the 3 songs unreleased b-sides and the 8 b-sides are previously released?

I fucking love the self-titled record and have zero shame. It still holds up to this day and rules. But, I really hate tug still. Like, a ton.

wtf broh?  cause i like a band more than you?  how can you hate a man whose hand you never shook?  hug?

What kind of weird shit did you get into?

emo, goth, skinny jeans, kids t-shirts, and make up, etc.

So with that being said, we can both finally recognize that the only reason you're infatuated with The Used is on account of nostalgia, right?

not at all.  they have been my favorite band for 15.5 years.  no other music released (other than single songs here and there) has the feeling that the used music has on me.

I hope no one expected the album or genre to age like a fine wine over 15 years, but there's something to be said about having the same shitty tastes remain stagnant for a decade and a half.  I can't really fathom it.

mostly everything i love came from the 2002 era.  music, video games, tv, etc.  it was a time of top most quality and my favorite things from there stuck with me since then.  the things before that from childhood phased away from my tastes (like pokemon for example) and the things after that were when i just went through a weird phase in life and was into weird things but i got of that so 2002 is like the happy medium of my life and at the same time the world of when great things and great quality existed.

wow what a milestone day!  the used self titled was released 15 years ago to this day!  i might buy a couple extra copies just for kicks to celebrate this milestone and maybe you guys want to too?  well the merchnow first run of variants sold out and so did the fye variants.  retail may have a few copies left here and there but merchnow second run of variants is still up as is the smartpunk variants but these are very limited remaining... so enjoy what you could of what is left before its gone

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY TO THE USED SELF TITLED <3

what happened to the 7 inch?  it used to be the norm, bands often only released 7 inchers until the beatles made the full length 12 inch more popular.  i was thinking would it be better if 7 inchers were more popular?  on the plus side it is an epic hit single song and a 7 inch could easily be handled with 1 hand while you always need 2 hands for a 12 incher.  on the down side its only 1 song and often needs to be changed on the turntable but on the plus side how often do you really enjoy a entire 12 inch and want to skip tracks any way?  on the plus side it would cost less but on the down side still be pricey for 1 song.  so this has toggles in my mind lately and was wondering how other collectors felt about this.  would any collectors prefer just buying their fav songs on 7 inchers rather then a whole album just to listen to 1 song?  i think i would have a much larger collection, maybe in the 100s if i could buy my fav songs on 7 inchers at a fair price rather than a 12 incher for songs i do not care to hear.  your thoughts, comments, concerns, etc?

the album art from when broken is easy fixed i love <3  ...but oh my is this band productive?  they literally put out a studio album like every 18 months.  i dont see many other bands that do this much new music.

'last resort' is a great song.  it came out around when i was 12 and was one of the songs that guided me to being a fan of rock n roll.

the lacquer is the most common medium to cut the master.... the master is then plated into a metal stamper to make the records in a press... yes a lacquer would sound a bit better and definitely quieter (because its a waaaaay softer and a heavier medium then the record itself) but as in the description... with every play (sonically) it will degrade ... so really its only good for 1 play ..my question is WHY???

 

I Had to watch video to truly understand and  It seems like a weird thing to sell. A pre-master disc pretty much?

What is the difference between a lacquer and vinyl record?

This band put out a new album? I guess enough is not dead yet?

are there any other bands that 'talk sing' like these guys?

Anyone noticed the vinyl labels on the duluxe version are different from the standard release, and shitter 

That is cool to change it. Makes owner it more special when there those differences.

With you only having heard one r-head song, I was surprised to see you use the super-secret, true fan only, short hand version of the band's name.

 

Well, there's no use carrying on this charade.  Now that the cat's out of the bag, can we get the thread title changed?

Wait what cat out of the bag? What's wrong with the title? 

Long topic. I remember liking the song "there there" but I'm not sure I know another r-head song.
