I’ve corrected this with an afternoon listen.  @prowl20 was not lying about that bass work.  Probably going to explore at least 1 more of their releases to seal the deal but it feels like a pretty obvious no-brainer.

Mouse Ear Forget Me Not / Maximillian Colby split (both sides) and the Believe In 7” are my favorites.

Is this something I should check out? 🤔

I mean not really but whatever helps you feel better about those Clifford the Big Red Dog and Hey Arnold! OSTs.  Junk releases from a junk label run by a junk dude.

So that whole craft beer thing never really panned out, huh?

September 10 is the new date!

Not just you.

wtf are those variants.... there was so much potential to do cool shit and it feels like they just closed their eyes and pointed at random ones that dont go with the art at all.
 

I’m fine with PN in general and am hoping for a sick CIS Drug Church tour… just an awful lot of spatters and colors for a pretty minimal cover is all.

This! When will the ugly-ass splatter mania dies off?

“Only 300 of these webstore exclusives each made. Black and White Swirl with OBI Strip and a PICTURE DISC.  Both with Hype Stickers. If  Record Store Day April 2023 demand isn't telling enough, I can promise you that the after market price on these will be over $150.  When we launched the RSD Purple, the demand was 9X what we manufactured and most stores only got 1 copy. In fact the demand was second only to Taylor Swift's new album that dropped the same day. Many of the larger stores shared that this record was the one they received the most calls about leading up to record store day.  So I don't need to tell you that this is going to be a collectors dream and that only 300 people in world will be able to get their hands on these. I hope it's you!”
Probably the most embarrassing product description I’ve ever read.

Bumping to pay tribute.  This one truly hurts.

Huge bummer.  Took me by surprise yesterday.  Very glad to have seen them live.  He left behind many perfect albums.

A generous coat of teak oil should settle into the shelves nicely and keep any bugs from nesting inside your records.  Saw a thread about it just the other day.
