Man, Imgur really compressed the fuck out of these... cause they're shot on an iPhone Pro Max. 
I also have pictures of all but Jani's board if anyone is interested. 
I already have a break down of them all as well. 

More news form TC:
Standard black is actually a mistake and will be sorted, the only black is the 180g.
The only EU exclusive is white. 
Newbury and indie store exclusives are actually two different variants. 
Newbury is on pink and indie on coke bottle clear, both will be announced next week. 

I was getting nervous that this would be the only Caspian record I’d own 1 copy of.

Popping in to remind you all that you're glorious human beings and still utter darlings <3
 
Stop making me want to Face/Off you, Jon.

I'm jealous
 
But I saw John Mulaney last week. Laughed so hard I cried. My girlfriend laughed so hard she had to use her inhaler a few times.
 
We had great seats too. Dead center, maybe 20 rows back and no one sitting in the row in front of us. We used a side exit that no one else noticed and were back in our apartment before even 1/10 of the crowd was out of the building. We had cocktails while watching the traffic jam clusterfuck from the window.

Went to two live Mystery Science Theater 3000s last night and I haven't laughed that hard in a very, very long time.  My face kind of hurts from it, haha.

I don't think I've popped in with the big life update yet: We lost an original member of the crew at work which is sad but he is on to better things, but for me this means a new position in the company, I will be the head record/cd buyer, only pricer and record processor so I will fulltime be working with records with the occasional pop in up front to help customers starting next week after I help train the new hires this week. Other duties include repricing things that sit, culling out multiples and keeping track of used record stocks. It's pretty exciting stuff it comes with another raise if I prove myself I was told. Life is good
 
Also on a huge country rock, jangle pop kick i'm been ferociously buying all the Byrds, Gene Clark, Gram Parsons, Ian Matthews and other related artists I can get my hands on. I did pick up another Fugazi record yesterday just in case you thought I was going all the way soft on you

Absolutely loving the new Te' EP they put out yesterday. Get into it:

I've been skateboarding for 17 years and going to shows for about 15, so I've had more stickers than any human ever should. Nearly everything I own has a damn sticker on it. I've got a table that is entirely covered, and two of my LP shelves are entirely covered too. Just slap em on everything in sight. 

Haven't been on VC very much over the last 6 months. Part of reason why is because my girlfriend of 8 years was diagnosed with breast cancer last October and life has been pretty hectic. I got this piece a few months back

!! He was really friendly and awesome.  I'm from CT ( as you could probs tell ) and was planning a trip to Portland so I told him that and he made room for me in his schedule  and it worked out really nicely.

The healing process was different from all of my other big tattoos cause it's just black.  It barely peeled, didn't scab over at all, but itched a lot more than my large color pieces on the other arms.  Most of my tattoos didn't itch much so this was new to me.  Anyways it healed very quickly and perfectly, not one blemish and it's as black as black goes still.  Took like 10 days.
I got that small ghost a few days later on my leg and that literally took twice as long to heal..
 

 
 

Here's what I came home with from the Scranton convention this weekend. First one on my leg.
 

Got this done recently, because Daria is me.

One show is better than no shows

Green Bay is the closest to me and they only have the one showing. Booooooo.

Got tickets to both of the live MST3K shows here, I'm really excited!

They're playing in Austin tomorrow night and I'm trying to duck away from family stuff for a few hours to see them.
 
Edit : no family related plans tonight, so totally going to see them this evening!

Hey friends. It's been a bit. 
I finally saw Mono last night and thought you all would appreciate. It was an amazing show in a tiny venue with a light quiet crowd. It was perfect. 

The lightning ports are such garbage for that reason.  I was bitching about how my phone wasn't charging right and a co-worker suggested giving it a good cleaning, fixed it right up.  Now I do it about once a month.

Erica Williams and Charlie Wagers are two of my favorites

wut.

Don't think anything is available at the moment, but this dude is absolutely my favorite working artist right now:
http://zeblove.com/

He does a ton of work for the Avett Brothers, and frequently has limited run prints go up for sale. Here's one of my favorites


(I have the original print of this, with no text, hanging right above my record player!)

That Amazon Prime account came through for me, and my power supply is here! Got the table all hooked back up, and am spending the evening listening to records after not being able to do so for almost 2 weeks. Definitely not a big fan of having my system down for the count.
