Glad I didn't miss the /300.

If you contact SS, they can probably apply LP20 to work on it. It has to be done manually when new preorder albums are added with the discount code already activated (happened to me with Hans Zimmer Live)

Distant Worlds is back up! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079YTZ1VZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

fuck. i didn't know this was pressed--straight to the top of my need list. hopefully it'll go back in stock.

Damn I'm jelly.

Awesome! Will definitely be picking that up. Hoping I can get a signed copy on release day like with 'Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki'.

Stars of the Lid - 'Gravitational Pull vs the Desire for an Aquatic Life' is being repressed by Kranky for release at the end of March! Pretty stoked! https://starsofthelid.bandcamp.com

I was happy with my bundle. And always happy to support TRL so that they can keep releasing stuff.

My 5: Howard Hello - Election Year Parlour S/T Maserati - Pyramid of the Moon The Books - Music for a French Elevator & Other Oddities Steve Moore/Majeure - Brainstorm Plus posters from Mono, Mogwai, and Inventions. Pretty stoked about it. I haven't listened to any of these--they must have read my order note <3

Can't wait to see what I get. I hadn't taken stock recently, but I have a load of TRL releases already (pretty much all Eluvium, EITS, Envy, Mono, Mogwai, Basinski, etc), so hopefully minimal duplicates. I tried to add a note on the order, but not sure if that matters or not.

RT'd and DM'd. What about south coast though!?? Thanks for doing this! Pretty cool of y'all.

Just stunned by the news today of Johann Johannsson's passing... I'll treasure his music for many many years to come.

I started the PS3 remake but didn’t get very far—found it overhyped. Picked up the PS4 version for $32 after falling for the hype again and... I love it. Started this evening and have already beat 8 of the colossi. The updated graphics are beautiful and my wife has enjoyed watching as well. The hype is real.

already happening: http://www.nonesuch.com/albums/phantom-thread-soundtrack (included an instant download as well)

That Apollo rocket is incredible. My wife and I just put it together this past weekend. Well worth the money.

Man, I wish Yndi was coming down here. And only $10? Fuck...

They only put 15 up and it looks like it's already sold out.

Hammock just put up more copies of Oblivion Hymns: http://shop.hammockmusic.com/album/oblivion-hymns

Ordered from Nonesuch and got the digital download right away. It’s so damn good. Loved the film.

I’m out at $45+tax/shipping. It’s good, but not at that price point.

Super stoked for Dark Souls Remastered. Will likely get it on PS4 and Switch.

Last week I got another package from @themeconspiracy ... this awesome print by Luke Chueh. I love it, thank you!!

YAY!!!! I didn't want to say anything in case you hadn't opened it yet. It threw me off, since the return address was supposed to be incognito, but then everything pointed to Brooklyn... Really funny that we got each other! I was so excited when I found the Lego figure, and was really hoping you didn't already have it. There was a Knight Rider set for Lego Dimensions (I guess it's like a video game?) and I was able to find just the minifig on Brickseek. I intentionally left it disassembled so you'd have an 'AHA!' moment. Glad that worked out haha. That beef jerky is freaking amazing, so when you said that I knew I had to get it for you. They proclaim to be the beef jerky capital of the world, good old Centerville, TX. And just so happened I had to drive by that place several times for work (it's between Houston and Dallas). Full disclosure, the first bag that I bought for you was eaten by my wife and I, so actually I had to go back and get another bag... Sounds like it didn't last long there either hahaha On the music, it was challenging just because a lot of the alternative rock stuff you have is stuff that I used to listen to in HS/college and I didn't really find any sizable gaps! Every time I thought of a niche band that I enjoyed, you already had it! I tried to find stuff that I felt was true to some of the alternative stuff you're into but pushed the boundary into more of the atmospheric, instrumental stuff that I enjoy. That new Appleseed Cast album is excellent, and I saw that you already had 'Two Conversations'. Moving Mountains, I think you'll absolutely love. They remind me a lot of Gates and Athletics, and since I saw you're into those bands, I figured it was a pretty safe bet. I was pretty shocked that you didn't have anything by them actually, I think I quadruple-checked your lists to make sure. The rationale for The Good Life was you mentioned that you liked when artists have side projects that are different than what they normally do. I noticed that you had stuff by Cursive, and I think I actually prefer TGL to Cursive--'Album of the Year' (and 'Help Wanted Nights') are just classic. So I was surprised that you didn't have it in your collection, and figured you'd enjoy it. Glad to give you a bit of a nostalgia trip. Sidenote: I was tempted to get you 'You+Me', side project by Dallas Green and Pink, but you said you didn't like female vocalists so I played it a little safe. It's surprisingly a really good collab and I think you might dig it if you haven't checked it out. I'm so glad that you like everything. I had a lot of fun putting it all together. You'll have to let me know what you think of the records once you listen to them. Also, can't believe you have something else coming for me... You way overdid it! Thank you again.

Just got home. Seriously, @themeconspiracy, you killed it. Everything came wrapped nicely with little notes on everything. Sorry that I wasn't the easiest person to shop for with my weird music tastes and no trade list... I really appreciate the thought and care you put into everything!! 7" Manchester City F.C. "CITY!!!! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* MANCHESTER CITY!!!" this is so fucking cool, I can't even. The company I work for has a large office over in Manchester, so when I visited last year, I caught a football match at Etihad Stadium and they played these songs. So cool!!!!! Metavari - Oh Diane; yuuuge Twin Peaks fan, so this is up my alley. I dig it! The Firebird Band - Say Hello; I haven't listened to this one yet, but am excited to check it out! 10" The Protomen - This City Made us; Mega Man inspired, indeed. This fucking rocks. I'm going to have to look into their full lengths too. 12" The National - Trouble Will Find Me; I actually haven't listened to this one. I'm late to The National, and I must have skipped over this one between 'High Violet' and 'Sleep Well Beast'. Excited to check it out!!!! Empires - Freshwater Reflection; listening to this now and it's up my alley, post-metal moreso than ambient, but I need that scratch itched pretty regularly so it'll get a lot of plays And for the kiddos, a couple Charlie Brown records, and The Alvin Show. Will have to play these for them this weekend! They always get excited when I play records for them, but I haven't really played any "kids" music. Awesome! Miscellaneous Coffee + Twin Peaks coffee mug; Since I travel so much, I always try to find local coffee wherever I go, so I'm really excited to try this. The mug is epic. My wife opened everything for me via FaceTime since I was out of town and could smell the coffee as soon as she opened the box. Which leads to the next one... Edit: Just tried the Guatemalan and it's superb. Ground it up a little finer for espresso and made a bomb ass latte--maybe not Dale Cooper approved, but it's damn fine. Might try the Holiday for cold brew!! Record cat toy; my damn cats both jumped up on the kitchen table as soon as the box was opened because they could smell the catnip!! Couldn't figure out why at first! They're both playing with it now. My younger kitty just keeps licking it, and my older kitty looks strung out: Astros World Series poster; really appreciate this. I got a copy of the Houston Chronicle from the day after they won the series, and I think this would look really cool framed up next to that. Winning the World Series was so big for this city after Hurricane Harvey. My family and I luckily weren't physically affected, but I know several people that lost everything and are still displaced. Sappy I know, but it really means a lot. Thank you so so so so much, Lauren. You seriously did way too much. I really appreciate it, and hope that you have a Happy 2018!!
