vinny0190 reacted to Plarocks in PO: Kate Bush reissues
YOU are one “lucky” dude.
I can only imagine sitting around listening to Kate Bush LPs, or watching Kate Bush videos, and having your partner enjoy that almost as much as you.
God I wanted to see one of those shows she put on. Bought the BTD vinyl box though!

I have OGs of all the studio albums, and also the Audio Fidelity pressing of Hounds, the “ATR mastercut” of Lionheart, Japanese pressings of TKI and NFE....God I love Kate.
Originally was going to “dismiss” the boxes, as I originally thought you had to buy “all four,” to get the “b-sides” LPs....
However, all the remastered “b-sides” are actually included just in box number 4....and that was about $100....Insta-ORDERED!
Bravo for Kate not attempting the “uber cash grab,” and forcing us to buy all the albums/singles again to get the b-sides. Some of them are her best work!

As someone who has been both dead broke and well off, I have nothing but empathy for people who are broke and no judgment on how they spend their money. That life can suck really bad and you deal with some predatory BS that zaps up whatever excess energy or cash you have, so I'm in no place to tell someone how to get through it.
In my own experience, I've found it one million times easier to save money and spend smart when you have excess money coming in. When I was in my 20s and broke, I spent hundreds of dollars a year on overdraft fees (and balance minimum fees!) that I incurred from spending money on food, records, entertainment, gas, school, basically everything. It'd set me back for months and cause more late payments and more late fees. Since I've been well off, I've paid zero dollars on overdraft fees and I've been able to both save and spend smart. Why? Am I suddenly a responsible moral adult? No. It's just that now, when I make a stupid occasional mistake, there are almost zero consequences. I can accidentally spend too much on something and nothing happens. I can forget to pay something and I can easily afford the late fees.
It is so so easy to offer advice like "spend less!", so I get when people say that trying to be helpful, but I have to remember to reject that impulse and instead put myself back in that headspace of being broke and offer empathy rather than admonishment. It really is a racket being broke and if people want to buy records or do things that make life suck a little less, even if it costs them more money, I say go for it.

As a gay woman, it’s really not always as simple as “I’m secure enough”. You being able to appreciate an attractive person of the same gender is really not the same as someone struggling with their sexuality.

I called the LA one, apparently its a SCAVENGER HUNT and the stores have the first clue. Have fun!

Same. I feel like I pre-ordered this record a year ago

vinny0190 reacted to Fowty Dollaz in Jeff Rosenstock - POST-
So, I just received notification that this "shipped." So there's a label printed somewhere, possibly on a box that maybe has a record in it.

Not a big enough fan to grab this but I hope we get some more similar releases in the near future. There's a similar one from K-ON that I want to find at some point.

I wonder if he can send emails from the Range Rover he bought after not paying his bands.

Does anyone know exactly what happened to No Sleep? They went from being a great label to releasing limited edition coffee.

vinny0190 reacted to MyckelJay in No Sleep Records 2014 Subscription 7"s never shipped (?) matt Pryor john Nolan Geoff rickley
Not sure if everything is the same, but back in the day they were pretty good at replying to e-mails. They got bad at it when they pressed that alternate artwork edition of The Upsides, but it's still worth a shot.

vinny0190 reacted to Plarocks in The Vinyl Deals Thread (non-Amazon)
That InSound sale is great.
Make sure you poke around the site as there more deals to be found besides the "Hard To Find" section.
Regina Spektor "Live In London" for $16. There were some Green Day albums for $12-$15 each. Best price I have ever seen on that Dresden Dolls RSD set.
I grabbed the Regina, Supergrass, YES live 3LP for $24....Kid Rock, Pantera comp for $8, Dwight Yoakam all for $90 shipped!

Polyvinyl is processing refunds. I will be returning this album. As a queer individual this was really disappointing.

This album is so fucking good. Wish I hadn't missed out on the early bird pressing.

vinny0190 reacted to randomfortunepa in RSD 2017 Online Leftovers: Post sellers here after they make items available online
Yes. They don't charge you for shipping until it has actually shipped. If the charge comes back lower then they cancelled one or more of your items.

What I find disturbing is how much less expensive Bull Moose's pricing is than my local Los Angeles stores. I wonder if Bull Moose lowered the prices already?
For example, Bull Moose is asking $13.99 for the U2 picture disc. I saw it in two L.A. stores on RSD for $17.99 and $19.99. I saw many examples just like this one in comparing prices this morning.
