Isn't it common knowledge that record collectors are pretentious elitist assholes anyways?

That's just the widely spread word-of-mouth. But, I guess, where there's smoke...

Records and prints. Pretty tame, but sometimes I can't even afford to keep up with just the two of them.

Apologies to those who are already aware, but I was surprised to see pre-orders for this pop up already. Interpunk has it up for $20.25, with a scheduled release date of 02.01.11.

Excited to finally own a copy of this one, for sure... and remastered, no less.

The clear with silver splatter[?] - right below the cover.

To me.

Try Simply Noise. I'd be interested to hear whether or not you can hear a noticeable difference, after the supposed burn-in.

Amidst some research on quality headphones, I read about a site created just to play white noise endlessly. I'm struggling to find it, but I imagine that'd be the way to go. I'll update this post if I can find it.

Does this mean you're hoping to get it for less than $100, or...? Just wondering.

I have no idea how much that record realistically fetches, today.

For < $110.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 vs. Grado Prestige Series SR80i. This is what it has come down to, for me. Each have their pros and cons... but I'm having a hell of a time making a final decision.

the best bang for your buck will be these:

ATH-M50

http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH....30744 45&sr=8-1

if you search around, you may be able to get a pair for 100 bucks..

I got mine for 95 shipped on eBay about 4 months ago

Was that with a BIN or auction?

I've been on the fence between these and a pair of Grados. Leaning towards the M50s, but I haven't been able to find anything (in stock) that's close to $100. Guess I'll just keep waiting for the right opportunity.

*edit*

Randomly clicked the link in your post that I quoted - they're $108 at Amazon, 46% off. I had checked that link earlier, and they were God-honestly $140+. No idea why they suddenly fluctuated in price, but I'm considering pulling the trigger on them.

Glassjaw? Tease?

Surely you jest.

anyone who picked up an extra lennon willing to part with it? long shot, i know

I only purchased one extra, but it's already looking like I've got a trade set up for it. Wish I could help you out, but I never hoard these 7"s when they're (briefly) available.

Hope you can find one, though.

This thread got real weird, real quick.

I wonder if that's a better listen than What Separates.

My Victory mailer was delivered yesterday. Got around to opening it up this morning - they were nice enough to include an ADTR record in my slew of flyers, CDs, and stickers.

And not that I was expecting anything different from the picture shown on the last page, but the "clear and white swirl" is more like a white record than anything else. Some spots are a little more clear than others, done in a marble effect, but overall... no.

Not complaining, since the price was right. Just an observation.

As is mine. Cheers for the heads up.

...Which can be "seen" here.

I was really hoping to see some of the alternative art and insides, but I suppose (being a pre-order) that it's not complete yet. Hoping they don't run into a ton of delays.

Agreed. I've yet to see a link to the product, or even the more details, please visit the band’s official website www.circasurvive.com. Hopefully someone bumps this topic whenever they go up. Also hoping the description is fairly detailed, with perhaps a photo or two of the package.

mehhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll buy it

This, but with an even greater emphasis on the meh. $30 isn't that much more than a few of the double-LP, 180-gram records I've purchased as of late. (TDAG and BMYL immediately come to mind.) But on the other hand... a third-of-a-hundred bucks for an album I already own is a little iffy. I think it'll really boil down to the packaging, like Travis stated. I'd love to see some sort of hard-covered, deluxe gatefold with spot-gloss liner notes. A dude can dream.

I can't say I've ever listened to Lemuria, but that's a pretty awesome poster. The grooves really set it off - $14 PPD seems like a steal, too. I may pick one up after I check out the band... if they're even available at that point.

I haven't been lurking GJ's Merchdirect as of late... does anyone know if the Lennon 7"s have popped back up for sale? Trying to get at least one more for a good friend.

i have sooo many black band shirts i actively avoid black now

Pretty much this. Black is a classic, obviously, but variety is key. I've been going for the color-shades myself. I can't pull off the bright vibrant colors, though.

Oh, and add these to my list:

Botch - We are the Romans

Botch - Anthology of Dead Ends

For sure. I know they're not especially rare or pricey, but I'd love to pay under $20 for each. I doubt a repress is likely, but I've got my fingers crossed regardless.

Kensrue.

/thread.

Probably. But you'll have to wait until 08/08 before 88 of them go up for sale.

Here's some photos of my Pelican box. Not much light here in Norway now with winter and all, so they didn't turn out all that great.

I disagree. Those look phenomenal.

I'm not a big enough fan of the band to justify this purchase, but it sure does look amazing. Quality boxsets are the best.

I like to track down variants if they look particularly awesome, or if I can complete a set without leaving too big of a dent in my wallet. I think there are only eight or so albums that I have more than one copy of. I also enjoy giving extra variants out to friends, if they've never heard the record.

Pretty sure it was via Broken Circles, but I got an e-mail from Dreamover a week or two ago that apologized for the delay, and confirmed that they've been shipped. I'll PM you with specifics.
