Scooped up Now! That's What I Call Christmas - UO exclusive on Red and Green vinyl for $4.95. I love stores that clearance out vinyl as it if were any other retail stock.

Instant pre-order. Kind of bummed All Good Souls isn't on this though.

Very excited about this.

So happy I resisted the urge to pre-order this.

I presume by "lazy load" you're talking about scrolling to the bottom and will automatically load more results?  If so, that would be great, I hate pages.

Exactly. I agree. Better than pages. I'll see if I can get that added soon.

This is really cool! I'm going to make a pin for it on my iPhone's homepage. A cool feature would be to have the ability to change the number of search results displayed on a page. Just an idea. Good job with this! Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Thanks for the nice feedback! Amazon caps the number of results and paginates them but one option I've thought about was doing a lazy load for more results rather than having pages.

Thanks for the quick feedback! Yes, pre-orders and out of stock should definitely be displayed and as options for a filter. I want to make it as close to browsing a record store as possible so those are among many things to add. Thanks again!

I check this board every day (especially the cheap amazon thread). I also like to program on the side for fun so I decided to make a little site to search amazon's vinyl selection. I know this is not a revolutionary idea but I thought I'd share it here along with my plans for updates.

Right now it's version 0.0.1. It's the most bare bones it could possibly be just to have something to start with. With the currently deployed version you can:

1. Search by artist and get a paginated list of what is in stock from amazon prime for that artist.
2. You can create an account and make a list of records to keep your eye on. Hover on the cover art and click the arrow on the bottom right (if you have an account).
3. The current price will update when this list loads so you can check it throughout the day to see if a price drops.

Features to add..

This list could go on forever but like camelcamelcamel, I would first like to add a notification if the price hits a threshold of the user's choice. After that, stronger search/filter options and ordering your list of items you're tracking would likely be the next updates.

I know there are plenty of missing features but I thought a vinyl only amazon aggregator created by and tailored to vinyl collectors is an intriguing idea. I would love feature requests from the community and feedback from anyone who would like a tool like this. Again, I know this is a very simple and unexciting site in it's current state but hopefully, feature by feature, it can be something useful/fun in the near future.

I can't say the same. It feels like Bulletin/Yoshimi but lazier. It might just be me but I'm not a fan of these singles.

I actually agree with that but instead of lazier I would say more relaxed. Deliberately so. 

The three new singles are the best album tracks they have put out in a while. In spite of all their questionable experimental releases, their proper releases have been consistently great.

What do you mean barely play? He's so proficient, he's playing it one-handed!!

One handed and at MOST two fingers.

I love all but one song, "Pass The Baby"

Pass the baby is the coolest song they've recorded in a long time, if not ever... in my opinion

I was bothered by the Clarity reissue's lyric sheet because the Table For Glasses line "sweep the dirty stairs / the ones I waited on" is typo'd "one's". When I got an OG, I saw it was actually correct on the insert, so I think it was SRC for that one, at least.

 

Anyone have a download they'd upload / code to share so I can upload it?

They seemed to have misprinted the entire last track except for the first verse. 

There's a "loose/lose" typo in the lyrics and it puts a dent in the whole thing. 

Record arrived today. Packaging looks great. I love the center labels. 

The poster would have made for such classic album art. The record is amazing but the packaging all around is a let down.

Anyone hear them on Stern this morning?

This seems like a cheap ploy to sell a few copies. Tar is black and they never said it was limited. But also black isn't a color. It's an absence of color... if we want to split hairs. 

This album blows. They were the best at changing up their sound between albums and still writing great songs but that era is long gone. They haven't done anything exciting in over a decade.

Does anyone know of a way to hear the tracks from "these paper bullets"? Something tells me they're the best thing Billie has written since Warning.

11. "Forever Now"
The album's most ambitious track, clocking in at nearly seven minutes, is a surging mini rock opera of sorts, melding several songs

Sounds like they're really breaking new ground on this record

I actually think the 3rd single is the best. That's not saying much because the first two didn't do anything for me. At least with this 3rd one, there's a hook. I've heard the first two probably at least 10 times each and I can barely remember anything about them. If you took this 3rd song and ran it through a warning production filter, you'd have a pretty decent modern green day song.... I think.

These new songs are just 21st CB part 2. Espionagey type guitar lines, weird group shouty moments and those chord progressions that always get around to a predictable minor chord. I love when bands try new things and change their sound so I'm not calling for another dookie or insomniac but this isn't the return the form others are labeling it to be.

Looks like the actual radio single is "Sure and Certain" and it's premiering tomorrow (Aug 30) on Kevin and Bean at 8am.

Put me in the "Insomniac is the best Green Day album" club as well. If UDT wasn't so slick, cut to 12 tracks, AND had good art, it would have been seen as a return to form for sure. The songs were there. Demolicous gets close but not quite. Foxboro Hot Tubs and The Network albums have some really great moments but if either of those were released under Green Day, they'd get ripped to shreds.
