    We all have a different line of what an artist does in their personal life where it overshadows the art. That doesn't mean you research everything about an artist before deciding to listen but if something comes to light, it's up to you if that is something you can set aside while enjoying the art. 

     

    Sometimes that happens before you listen. For example, Charles Manson has a record out. Will you support that art knowing what you know? If tomorrow you found out Ryan Adams was a child murderer, could you still listen to the art? It's your line to draw and the line is wavy. For music you really love, your tolerance is higher and if your introduction to an artist is that they're an awful human being, it's easier to dismiss.

     

    I too separate the art from the artist but I'm not going to pretend that there's nothing the artist can do in their personal life that will ruin art I once enjoyed. Knowing what I know now, Cold Roses still reminds me of a great time in my life. If Ryan Adams collected skulls of kids he murdered, I would no longer enjoy Cold Roses in the same way I do now. 

    I respect this. I appreciate your level headed response.

  2. Am I the only one who just cares about the music? I am a strong believer that art is separate from the artist. I don't listen to Ryan Adams' music or anyone else's music for that matter because I like and/or dislike the artist behind it. I listen to it for the ART. 

     

    Clearly, everyone here isn't even arguing about his art/music. They're arguing about HIM. Who gives a shit about what the fuck this dude does in his personal life. I didn't care before and I don't care now. Again, that's not why I listen to his or anyone else's music. 

     

    What are you guys doing before you check out a new artist?? Going to their wiki page or digging deep to try to figure out if they are a good enough person in their personal life so that you can feel better about listening to their music or enjoying their art??? Are you?? No - didn't think so. 

     

    Hopefully I can check back on this thread and it's for a pre-order link for Blackhole.

    Yeah, Theory on translucent green and Throat on translucent red.  I read that there was even a bundle option for them + The Wasp Factory (clear vinyl) bu I can't seem to find that either.  Really perplexing.  100% agree that BTT is perfect for the encroaching Winter weather, too.

    The Bundle said it was limited to /100. Not sure if that meant that the pressing as a whole was limited to 100. But yes, I agree that it's very odd that after purchasing, it vanished.

    Looks like there are 4 different variants but a lack of pressing information. The "clear" variant is listed at $2-$3 more than the other 3 variants so I am assuming that is the most limited variant available. I am sure others will post more pressing quantity info as it is revealed. They also have some pretty cool shirts available as well!
