Eh. I think it depends on the artist. For the Frank Ocean's and Tylers of the world, yeah they should just announce when it will be there. For the small bands that are barely breaking and ordering 300 copies, I'm fine with pre-orders. Imagine fronting $4,000 in hopes you'll get it back in 9+ months when no one cares about your tiny bands EP anymore and you're working at the local pizza place. That's quite literally like die or survive money right there.

I like that LV store variant a lot, free shipping on the UO variant pushed me over the edge on that earlier though.

Today is a day I thought I'd never see, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC.
 
I gotta say, I really enjoyed all the courses from Tour. The Tokyo and Paris one all have you take different routes on the last lap. The Ninja one is insanely fun, you literally have two routes the entire race, one above and one below.
 
All the remakes are great too. I hated Choco Mountain on the N64 and thank god they took out the part where you can fall backwards into the course. Sky Gardens was always another favorite of mine, glad to see it return.

Shit will be $100+ easily.  I hate to whine after this is finally getting a vinyl press, but; imagine paying $50 for vinyl etchings.  Oof.  I hope the wider April release sees a non “ULTRA DELUXE” version that is on a more modest 2-3 LP configuration, and less of a battle royale to obtain.

I think this is my AOTY.

Dammit I just bought Sin Miedo on vinyl!
 
In for Blxst, Kali Uchis and Bobby Digital.

So first concert since everything tonight. It was supposed to be tomorrow at The Forum with The Foo Fighters but they rescheduled. So decided to look at the Hollywood Bowl line-up this year and cross off some artists I've always been curious to see live, the first being tonight.
 
Christina Aguilera with the LA Phil. Should be fun, lol.
 
I'm fully vaxxed but will still be wearing mask since the mandate is going back up tomorrow tonight. Everybody be careful and wear a mask at the very last, get vaxxed if you can.

I have a few records from them and they always include an LP sleeve-sized booklet about the band/ album. It's not worth $36, but it's worth $0 if you want any exclusive, imo.
