hey, do they have flights out of buffalo to toronto? I might be going there for my birthday. was thinking of stopping in buffalo for a night. I so want to go see a buffalo game so freakin' bad it hurts (i've been a buffalo fan since i was a kid) You'd be better of flying into Buffalo and taking a bus up to Toronto. It's only like a 2 and half hour drive.

I used it to book a hotel in Toronto once. Put $50 bucks as my starting offer in and it was accepted. Worked out alright for me.

Eric's a solid dude. Blows my mind his shop didn't see a scratch!

For anyone interested, this is what Dave, the owner, had to say: "from the bottom of my busted up heart i'd like to thank each and everyone of you for your thoughts/concerns and of course your support over the last little while since we opened. we really wanted to make something special here; fill a void and i knew i wouldnt become a rich man doing it...but it's been pretty interesting and fun. we were finally getting to the breaking even and get a pizza tonight point. but hold yer horses, we aint going anywhere just yet. i know that picture looks pretty grim and to be honest, it is. richie, erich from rise above tattoo, eric 'green party' jones and some others hung around and we did a few walk-throughs and its not a total loss, though it is a serious blow. obviously, we will be closed for awhile. most of the damage was up front, a lot of shit like credit card machines, registers, blah blah blah. and records and heat/water dont mix. up front is a lot of my records and some shit i was pricing...but while its a serious blow, we dont think its a knockout shot. anyone who knows me well knows im very pessimistic, but i dont think its over judging by our inspection. id be the first to say "its done", but its not. i'd go into more details, but id like to see what the insurance company has to say first. i know looking inside from the sidewalk looked like hell--i was ready to run into traffic, but after they let us in, we realized we lost a lot, but not everything by any means. we have a serious clean-up to do and other assessments, and that'll get going tomorrow morning. thank you all again...i truly appreciate your concerns. we had a lot of good friends helping out and people stopping by. kept me sane, at least until i got home. pretty surreal...still havent the slightest idea how it started but the open sign and and old light up scrolling sign were "confiscated" by the fire marshal. they had no clue, either. no RIP's just yet. posi, motherfuckers. also...if youre a band who had stuff on consignment...well, we'll try and figure that out. all of our (paper) records and computer were casualties, it looks like..but this deathship will rise again. so...yes, the damage is severe, but we aint done just yet. thanks again. ill know more tomorrow."

Sunday!

just watched this video again. someone gets ejected from the truck, skids across the pavement, and then ends up with the truck on top of them. The driver is hanging limp out the back window. And 3 out of about 10 people get up.... somebody DEFINITELY died

Today my girlfriend called me and said "It looked like the door was burnt off of Spiral Scratch when I drove by it." I immediately tuned to my local message board and there were a few people asking about all the commotion outside the store. About an hour later it was confirmed that it burnt down. I guess their were mounds of melted records outside the door. Just the thought of that makes me depressed. I have no idea what caused the fire, but I'm sure it will be announced over the next day or so. It's such a bummer. Spiral Scratch was pretty much the only independent record store in Buffalo. Spiral Scratch was one of the record stores that was chosen to be on the cover of the Fucked Up - Daytrotter 7in for this years Record Store Day. Dave, the guy who owned Spiral Scratch, was such an awesome dude. I was in there last night to pick up a few records I had ordered, and order a couple more. Dave had gone out of his way to track me down a copy of the Fucked Up 7in with Spiral Scratch on the cover because I was bummed I missed out on Record Store Day. I was third in line, and there was only 2 on the shelf. Almost a month later Dave calls me saying he found one for me. I picked it up last night. So fucking bummed. R.I.P. Spiral Scratch :'( Before: After: Fucked Up - Daytrotter - Spiral Scratch Cover - /100 http://spiralscratchrecords.blogspot.com/

somebody definitely died

ordered!

was thinking about ordering a black one last week. Had no idea another limited color was coming out. Ordered!

I have a copy of the Kill Your Idols/Crime In Stereo split. Spray Painted Posi Numbers cover, limited to 50. PM me and offer if you're interested.

Hope the numbers of each variant get announced somewhere.

RJ, Are these going to be up through Big Cartel. The devil and god pre-order this morning was a fucking head ache!

Any update on the time these are going up tomorrow?

HOLY SHIT

I thought those were going up tomorrow?

at 12:27 I FINALLY got one! FUCK BIG CARTEL!

Been hitting refresh since 11:55. Still nothing....

15 minutes....still nothing.... :'(

its been 8 minutes and I still haven't got one :-/

yeah it was randomly inserted into pre-orders, there's only 100. i actually got mine on ebay for like $15 or $20 I saw one on ebay a few months ago, but I didn't have anything in my paypal. I think it went for like $25.

My hot topic was a bit of a let down this time. Did find a couple of things Lucero - Nobody's Darlings Paramore - Ignorance Pic 7" Chuck Ragan/The Loved Ones Split 7" $6 bucks total.

I'd love to own that record, but just can't see myself paying those prices. Would defiantly buy a box set of all 3.

I've never heard that, but that could be true? I'm not really sure. I've gotten 2 PM's about it but neither of them came through. ....Anybody?!

yeah I know. But I like to own a hard copy of most music I've stolen off the internet. Death Cab is defiantly one of my favorites, didn't see of hear of any plans for it on vinyl, thought CD would be the only option. That being said, glad it's final out. Put in an order at at my local record store today. Should be in on Tuesday!
