I like to stick to non-gimmick records like Macintosh Plus releases that never ship, Hellraiser soundtracks that come in cubes three times as large as necessary and Frank Ocean records that are only available for 48 hour windows of time. 

You may have bought Saddle Creek some time but we'll know conclusively that this was a deceitful marketing trick once the hair fiber DNA results come in and we cross-reference them with the digital timestamps on the pressing plant order emails.

The Duke isn't trying to get a rise out of anybody, and he has more spirit than most. I wondered about him at first but his determination about cataloging Polygondwanaland is staggering, and there's such genuine, earnest interest I can't help but be happy he's here. Not one drop of sarcasm from him whatsoever, it's refreshing.

Maybe Brand New share the same perspective as many of the great hermeneutical scholars who argued that there is no 'replication'; every time we return to a work, having experienced life and expanded our horizons in the meantime, we do so with a new version of ourselves which must produce a new reading and, therefore, a new meaning. When we listen to Science Fiction after having had our subjectivity altered by the fragrance of the potpourri, the tactile congruence of the crunchwrap cover, and the comforting heft of the 2 pound tub of root beer barrels, we are effectively hearing 12 brand new Brand New songs.

I've got the quote ready to go.

The lack of details, the shipping delays, the lack of special features...this band may have finally crossed the point where we can no longer in good conscience support their art and careers.

I think it’s safe to say that he didn’t get the VERY limited edition.

Taxation isn't theft you fucking neckbeard.

If anything, Tug should be the one to show up with a U-Haul and his life savings.  He can load it up with the only crowd that’ll tolerate him, and drive off to a secluded reservation where 2005 never ends.

Yeah. Just go to the merch stand and tell them your name. They will give you the option to take it then or when you’re leaving the venue!

The Brand New hype machine never dies. 

Whoa. Think I was one of the last to get an order in. That just looks beautiful. That and the VC pressing will be good for me. I'm tuning out any other pressing from now on haha

Every canceled pre-order and all discarded store stock – in an effort to prevent Jesse from upgrading his webcam – is actually a tiny obstacle along his path to maintain help and keep his demons at bay.  You think therapy is cheap?  If you're canceling your order you're basically a pedophile.  Just so you know.

Why bother?  We’ll all politely refuse but he’ll do it anyway.

For a group of grown men, there sure are a lot of drama queens in here.
 
I was skeptical of the validity of the claims as well until the statement was released, and I am a woman that has been put in more gross situations than any of you guys would think. It's not such a far fetched notion to acknowledge that anyone can say anything on the internet to gain attention/cause trouble. It's the easiest thing in the world to sit behind your keyboard in the comfort of your home and spread lies. It's also not such a far fetched notion to acknowledge that people we may admire such as Lacey and C.K. might be gross. I think anyone in here that was skeptical were keeping the door open to both possibilities until more information was provided. 
 
Move on. Thank you.

tug’s first post that wasn’t complete nonsense, minus going out of his way to make sure vinyl was pluralized just to trigger people.

So, the Pittsburgh show was a blast! My Ghost Green looks fantastic, can’t wait to spin it.
 
Unfortunately I couldn’t secure a melted noise for anyone - the Merch guy said he alternates from putting out that variant and the sugar inthe tea one each stop. They only had the sugar in the tea one tonight.
 
HOWEVER he did tell me that 250 copies will make their way online after the tour so be sure to be on the lookout (if this wasn’t already common knowledge).

This is legitimately funny.
