I imagine they are trying to put together a full catalogue boxset. 

Not interested. Last three albums are better off not existing.

I'm surprised at how little noise has been made about these reissues, but happy not to deal with a crashing site when trying to check out.

Looks like Dine Alone is dropping a pink variant on Valentine's Day.

Noticed that on their instagram story last night too, googled to see if I could find any info and looks like pink will be /100. 

Biked over and picked up mine from Dine Alone this afternoon, so far, so good. I didn't find a lot of love for the last album after a few months, and I feel that this one is objectively better than it - stronger songwriting; lyrics, structure, and melody.

Half clear/half blue is pretty.

Happy with this purchase.

This band still exists? Excuse me as Im sure Im going to offend someone, but this band opened for a Beck show I went to 15 years ago and they got booed off the stage- chalk it up to a mismatch, I guess...

Edit, just saw a billboard article from 2003 announcing the immediate leave of DC from the Beck tour. Claimed financial reasons, but maybe it was the booing.

No. He was recording an collaboration album with her, not producing her record

OK.

Whatever happened to the album with Liz Phair that was being recorded a year ago?

The album he was producing for her? Looks like there's been no additional info since it was announced he was recording her, so who knows.

That's what I thought too, but I've seen a few pictures and they look completely different. 

Interesting! If I hear of anything I'll let you know.

I saw a Coke Bottle Clear variant on Wax Bodega but it seems to be sold out. Does anyone know where else might be selling this variant? 

 

Only looking for this one variant. 

Sounds like the Newbury exclusive from last year. See them often on eBay. 

What do you think happened to the people who post on r/brandnew to make them the way they are? Christ. 

Kids over on the reddit website have begun getting tracking numbers for the limited preorder, I assume many of you will too. Very much wishing I splurged for the quick shipping to Canada right now. 

I use discogs because I want my collection to be catalogued in a useful database. Using Google docs seems as useful as writing it down on a napkin you keep in your shirt pocket, at least use Google sheets.

My credit card (very limited vinyl order) was charged today. So, that means shipping soon?

My friend and I were charged within days of ordering our special edition mystery limited very limited extreme limited copies - not sure what took so long for you to be charged. But - hopefully shipping soon.

If anyone needs me I'll be wearing cargo shorts, frosting my tips, and listening to Dave and Tim all weekend.

I think the Same Logic/Teeth lyrics are probably the most fucked up if you really want to dissect them from Jesse's POV 

 

Well this is the same logic that got us into trouble the first time
(When we discovered we could use)
The same logic to get us out of trouble
And shake off all the people we abuse

I don't need to know where you come from
If you don't know where you belong
So how's it feel to walk around, like you're some sort of freak
You're just a monster in a costume
Ashamed of what you used to be

It was revealed that Vinnie wrote this song 12 years ago at a concert recently. Maybe it's from Vin's POV about Jesse?

I e-mailed procrastinate and asked what color the limited records are. They responded with this:

 

We Actually believe it or not, dont know the color of this vinyl. We haven't even received the limited orders to know what they look like, or what they contain! All we know is that they weigh more, so there is definitely more to it than just the vinyl.

Emails go to a fulfilment company who didn't design or order anything, they just house and ship inventory. It makes sense that they don't know much, but I'm surprised they are so candid about it.

Im not sure if it is a download code or not because i didnt have time to check it before I left to work. I will find out later tonight.

It's just a sticker. PMT have included them with the last few releases.

I would rather suggest you spend the $20 in store and buy the bog-standard version. There's no way this is worth it for Canadians, given the to-door price. Pretty sure they've ironed out the pressing issues by now, since it's currently still in print.

Yup, pushing $60CAD after delivery and exchange. Absurd to spend that on this album. I'll just wait and see if this makes it to stores/shows. I have a feeling "limited edition" will still be +5000.

I have the regular pressing and never had any issues with it. Sure, probably not the greatest sounding record I own, but definitely no defects or artifacts. If this reissue has issues I doubt you'll have any trouble selling it to someone else.

Fair enough. Maybe the degree of issues I have heard of this has been repeatedly overstated. Fell in love with this album in 08, would love to have it and the big plastic format - maybe this will be the juan I get. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I did ask Secretly Store about this and received this reply: "The new limited edition is simply a re-issue of the original master. "

So from what I have come to understand, this should sound bad? Unlistenable bad? I've put off buying this because I keep hearing the pressings are (all?) remarkably bad. Have I been mis-informed?

This is fine.
