they had cat designs downstairs on day 1 but they sold through quickly, i wasn't even fast enough to get one in my size

Dang. Glad I was able to get one of the tour versions of LTIS at least.

I thought I saw one of the cat designs downstairs

I kept checking but maybe I’m blind. I’ll just try to snag one when they go up online after these shows.

Found a pic with the Codeine shirts:

Man, they only had the Dessau shirt when I was just at the merch table tonight. 

Not trying to always be a complainer but was a bit surprised since Numero made the venue and event sound a bit more classy (?) than it turned out to be. I didn’t really mind much but don’t know why they were calling it “less of a festival and more than a work of art” even though it was in a dilapidated ass building that smelled like my chainsmoking grandparent’s house.

That Unwound set was absolutely nuts. Definitely feel a little mislead when it comes to the venue though. I didn’t expect to be breathing in second hand smoke the whole time lol. Seeing Codeine is gonna be weird there but I absolutely can’t wait, especially since the day 2 lineup is 10x more stacked than day 1 imo. Worth the flight down.

Grabbed tickets to all 3 Portland shows. Can’t wait.

So stoked. Revolution Hall is the best venue in Portland. Gonna catch at least one of those but maybe more.

My old copy is beat to hell, so that was a pretty fast purchase for me. Love that song so much.

Not that I know of. Maybe they’ll list leftovers after Numero Twenty. Honestly the cat shirts were the best looking designs from what I remember

Awesome. I have a 2012 version of the cat shirt but it’s a bit too big for me now. Stoked to get a new one.

I’m expecting to do the same. Fortunately I own most of the releases from the bands that are playing haha. I’m seeing Codeine tonight in NYC. I’ll report back if there’s any cool merch 

Hell yeah. Thanks!

I’m assuming they didn’t have any of the boxsets on the merch table when you saw them?  I still need No Energy and Empire 😭 hoping that Numero unearthed some for Numero Twenty 

I am going to spend way too much money at this thing. I really need Empire and kinda want some of the individual presses.

By comparison, I preordered Tim Hecker’s latest 2LP – another drone album due this year – about a week ago.  $22 before $6 shipping.  Granted, not colored vinyl, I think I prefer spending < 50% for the same format if it’s at the cost of color.

I had no idea that there is a new Tim Hecker album this year until now. Instantly preordered it.

Agreed.  The Monday night set was wonderful and a lot of (to me anyway) deep cuts.  Seeing them again on Wednesday and hoping they play "For Your Entertainment" as it's basically my favorite song of theirs.  Would love to hear "Data" and "Message Received" too.

 

That’s my favorite song of theirs too and I was disappointed they didn’t play it. Really glad they played Lady Elect though. Definitely bummed the Monday show wasn’t as Repetition heavy as the 2/4 Seattle show.

Also, they were fucking incredible. Don’t miss them if they are coming anywhere near you. They are playing two sets and I was hypnotized the entire time.

There’s a /500 version of Leaves with alternate art at the merch table. I somehow missed it last night. I was wondering why everyone was carrying around the same record I didn’t recognize. Hoping they have some at Numero Twenty. 

Kinda want the splatter to match my old clear w/ blue splatter WATR but really need to stop doubling up on things. Think I have a black copy of this from the last time it was pressed.

I just assumed they never had it in stock. Grabbed the blue the other day. Hope it comes out looking somewhat like the mock up.

There’s this one and an indie record store variant. The indie is a solid green.

Really?? All rad bands with some awesome PNW stalwarts ripping. Worth checking out any of the openers for any night.

I’m going to night one and bands like Dreamdecay and Haunted Horses are a dime a dozen these days. Not my thing but I’m stoked for people who are into them.

Not sure what I expected but that is disappointing. I’ll probably aim to skip both.

We thinking it’ll ship prior to Q1 2024? 

TSTNPOTD is fantastic, curious to see how this turns out. New Single is a bit of a change in direction, less fuzzy shoegaze: 

 

 

This is great. I’m not a big shoegaze fan and really like this direction. That last part rules.

…But also not available yet. 😅 You can sign up to be notified when they drop over at Topshelf though.  I figure the music will be available 1/28 but the PO could drop anytime before then, feasibly.  (Or maybe even after, which would be weird.)

Yeah, their wording was a little confusing to me. 

For those without IG, new Parannoul album through Topshelf on 1/28. Two color variants (blue/white mix and magenta) and black.

can't say this was the cleanest album roll out I've experienced...

Definitely not even close to the worst though. I was unable to add to cart for a bit but that was still pretty simple.
