rogeoa8 reacted to Samdroid in TWIABP / BWM 2016 April Fools NOW (Dumb Tapes, Dumb Shirts, Dumb Book, Dumb Socks, Fuck Trump Fork)
I've had trouble listening to this band for the past couple of months since all of this stuff started leaking out. Not in the "ew they're problematic" way, I just don't have the emotional fortitude to try and listen "around" the issues, if that makes sense. It's never been easy for me to separate the artist from the art, but I don't begrudge anyone who can.
TWIABP were my favorite band for years. I felt some degree of closeness with their music that I don't often feel. The notion that one or more of them, people I respected and trusted, could have been consistently abusive is deeply upsetting. That probably sounds weird given that we don't know what happened, but something did happen, and now we're in the dark. Maybe that's worse?
I dunno, keep vinyl-ing as usual. I wasn't sure where else to post this. Shit sucks.

Cope didn't have any diversity so it grew stale pretty quickly for me. Hopefully they find a good balance with this album.

"the post-hippie/pre-AIDS culture that then set the basis of electro and metal to give us a unique, violent and crazy 80s"? Is this some European's perspective of America after taking a post 1950's US history course?

Crazy how their first early bird was /300 and now they're pimping a casual /1500 pressing for the new album.

If you have Amazon Prime you can get 7 day free trial of Showtime. After that you gotta pay or hack into the deep web,

That's like saying Michael Jordan was actually a pretty good basketball player.

If nothing else, kids got a real future as a politician. That was one of the best acknowledgments of something without admitting any guilt or apologizing I've ever seen.

Where's artwork of the kids getting a paper route or selling lemonade so they can buy their own tickets to the game and learn an important lesson about how hard work is a better option than blaming others for your missed opportunities?

Yeah, but this part (the entire rest of his post) is true:

rogeoa8 reacted to MayCauseDeath in PO SOON: As Cities Burn - Son, I Loved You at Your Darkest repress
Yeah that post I never saw, but still he said he was being an ass in which cactusbot responded with using such phrasing as "Stop bitching" "running your Pathetic little Mouths" "Fuckheads" "I'll show you what being an ass really entails" hmmmmmmm I think those words outweigh being called an ass and really just show that cactusbot really is an ass. And I am not trying to pour gasoline on this fire, but come on his response is so ridiculous, I don't care if people are asking you about a release or not! They are fans and are curious, that's the price of running a record label or pressing company. Yeah it may get collectively annoying being asked the same question, but there is no reason for hostility.
You're like Russel Crowe trying to fight the paparazzi

I think your response is really aggressive and you are just doing exactly what you said you hate about the board. You are literally no better than the people you are calling out by calling him a fuckhead or anyone else a fuckhead on the board. This isn't meant to be a smart ass post but please take a second and read his message than read yours, yours is 10 times more aggressive. Also he never actually said you were being an ass he said you showed "Sass."
Edit: I also see he said you were an ass in a previous post on some other channel, so I apologize

I apologize that you're offended by my words, but I think you need to take a chill pill.
I'm not belittling suicide. I'm speaking hyperbolically. If that's in poor taste to you, so be it. I'm not going to change my vernacular.

If you went through paypal, create a dispute and they'll speed up the process. Worked for me recently.

what is the point of having customer service if they aren't authorized to give refunds? Its such a "we are going to make it as hard as we can for you" so you forget about it routine.

Hope your dog is ok, that shit sucks.
But also, this is a good time to remind people that having an emergency fund that is equal to 3-6 months of your rent is important.
In the last few months my cat had an emergency vet visit, I had an emergency room visit including ambulance ride, and the wife needed four new tires for her car. We cut back on our spending a bit, but didn't have to scramble to get anything taken care of. Thanks emergency fund! Not a judgment on anyone, or bragging, just a reminder to try to save what you can for a rainy day.

Thread update: 10 pages later we have reached the Bull Moose Circle-Jerk Phase. Even when Bull Moose does wrong they get tugged. Not even in SRC's wettest dreams could they aspire to that status (and for good reason). But for real, BM is usually great and all, but something like this is no reason to be celebrating them. You can criticize but still approve of them.

And folks, we've entered the vinyl coloration speculation stage. This thread is only a young 26 going on 27. Much more to come! I eagerly await the "shipping notification/no shipping notification" stage, still over a month away.
