$130-150 average. Crazy since I only paid $50 for it via discogs back in 2018

That’s not as bad as I thought. Maybe I’ll throw it on my Christmas list or something. I would buy the extra stuff separately in a heartbeat. 

I wish I would have grabbed the CODY box for all the bonus stuff. I’m scared to see how much it is going for.

Oh.  I found it… and yeah; gonna’ need something a little more concrete to get hyped.  “I’ll believe it when I see it” kinda’ moment there.  Sure hope you’re right and it’s around the corner though.

That LNOE lineup is legit.  I haven’t seen Caspian in a good while.  Are they back to writing and touring a new album anytime soon?

Teaser on their IG saying 10/27. Hopefully it’s a repress. I have an original but will definitely buy whatever the new press is, especially if it’s along the lines of the 2008 box. I put off buying that thing when it was still like $70 at record stores.

Band just confirmed about 90% of today’s tickets were valid purchases, which leaves approximately 10% allocated to bots.  (Don’t worry; I double-checked the math.)  All the bawling and complaining from men pushing 40 has been pretty yikes in itself… but knowing it’s 90% rooted in a false assumption is just icing on the cake.

🤖😭

That happens online with most things I see sell out. It must be the bots and not the fact that people actually want what is being sold.

I wonder if the additional dates will be all PNW or elsewhere...I know that FloriDUH! will never be in there. It sucks here. 

 

Portland at the very least in the NW but I imagine they’ll make it out east if they really are adding more dates. I hope they announce them soon so I can just skip the second night for Portland instead if they come down here. 
 

I wonder who the special guest openers are.

According to Sargent House on IG, there will be more dates and they’ll post an announcement when the cancelled tickets are going up for these two shows.

I was able to now just get a tix for Saturday. Came out to about $65 with fees. Sounds right, right?

Now just need a Friday tix. 

That’s right. Mine were $64 each.

Hoping I can get Saturday tickets at some point.

Got mine for Saturday. Surprised they went THAT quick.

Yeah that was nutty. Most stressful ticket buying experience of my life. 

Kept refreshing and got night one.

I was on it immediately and they were gone. Wtf.

Sold out in five seconds.

I wonder if I have two tabs open...one for each night, it'll let me snag tix as such...

 

I’m wondering the same thing. Probably just going to aim for night 1 tickets first so I at least get something and then buy night 2 after that.

So what’s an agreed definition of “will sell out pretty quick” and “can’t imagine they will last long”? 
 

Seconds? Minutes? Hour or two? 
 

Just being anxiously paranoid for now. 

I always overestimate how fast shows will sell out, but I’d say these will at least sell out by the end of tomorrow. I’m still going to treat it like seconds like Derek said. Going to have my girlfriend grab tickets for the second night while I get ones for the first.

We are going to that Numero thing in LA the weekend before, doing Disneyland the whole week with my family and then flying up to Seattle in time for the Friday show. Going to be way too busy. 

I’ll probably be at both nights but will at least be there the 25th.

(Obligatory New Pupper Ideas comment.)

Now re-release it all with even better variants in a mega collector’s edition boxset.  Include all the bonus content and booklets from the individual era boxsets.  A box to end boxes.

I would kill for this.

I had a chance to listen to this yesterday and the album rules. Really didn’t like Noah at first as I previously commented but it sounds better to me when listening to the whole album. I have always reaaaaally disliked Birds in Row with singing. I’ll be damned if Trompe L’oeil isn’t the absolute shit though and now I kind of want a whole album like that.

Man, don’t lump Fugazi in there like that.

That was my first thought too haha

I am a sucker for pastels and really like that yellow even though it doesn’t match the cover. I somehow don’t own any Hop Along records and might buy that one soon.

Hopefully these guys put new music out soon

They are on hiatus according to a comment from Chris Collis on the Dead Bird Instagram page. That was 5 months ago though, so who knows.

I understand. Just because it's not overpriced, doesn't mean it's not expensive and a 'luxury' item. We'll see how these demo's are, I'd love to see a deconstructed Popplagið.

I’ve just gone a bit crazy with my record purchasing lately. I’m sure this won’t be around in a few weeks but I’ll maybe grab it if it is.

working my way through the 7LP in spare minutes, sound quality unsurprisingly phenomenal

I’m really loving the bonus discs. Some of it is a little weird (that wah wah thing on Pot Kettle Black) and almost too demo sounding (drums on Ashes of American Flags), but otherwise everything is really solid. That version of Jesus Etc. without strings alone makes it worth it.

Really want that deluxe version but need to force myself to not buy it.

I find it to (already) be miles better than WALTW, personally.

Very very happy to hear that.

Damn, what variant did you order?  Not sure if you’ve seen photos of it yet but the splatter turned out kinda’ perfect.  I typically don’t bother with Relapse splatters but the color choices and way it all came together looks so nice.  I’m strongly considering grabbing 1 before they vanish.

I missed the /136 splatter and got the half and half one.

I totally forgot that this album is a thing and I ordered a copy. Just checked my email and I guess I missed that mine shipped already. It won’t be here until next week unfortunately.
