    firebird1 reacted to Gumbo72203 in [PO] Deafheaven // Sunbather – 10 Year Remaster   
    I first heard Dreamhouse because the guy who runs Dark Descent Records (home of Spectral Voice, Blood Incantation, and other OSDM revival stuff that rules) was posting something about it, and all of the trv3 kvlt kydz were losing their fucking minds over this band not being "real metal" in the comments. 

    I want to say it was a Pitchfork article, I'm not even sure if the whole album had come out yet.  But I 1000% remember exactly where i was and what i was doing when I heard that first major chord come in under the blastbeats, and i was like "What the FUCK is this!!!!!"

    I was hooked instantly.  Fuck the trends.  Fuck the trv3 kvlt losers.  I still love Darkthrone and Emperor and Entombed and I love Deafheaven and Phish and the Grateful Dead too.  Fuck all of the boundaries and rules.  Music rules.

    Love this album, almost picked it up for the demos but already own the 2xLP and with it being 10” and $60, the final nail in the coffin. Will probably regret down the road.

    Yeah. My habits have changed a lot. My station in life has changed a lot too. I don't have room and I have kids now so priorities have shifted.  That said the other factors are labels charging wayyyyy too much. Retail has gotten out of hand and it's on the back of the customer. Pressing costs have gone up for sure but retail cost has not risen fairly to balance that.  Especially pressings of 1000s of records they could easily sell them in the 22-28 dollar range and make money. Selling single LPs for 40+ is just unreasonable and I don't buy those.  I don't buy variants anymore - just one color is fine.  I mostly concentrate on putting out Bitter Melody releases and trading for some personal records occasionally.  My bigger splurges were for friend's records in NC - Undying and Prayer for Cleansing.
     
    Like the post above I have stopped buying blindly a lot too.  Unless it's one of the handful of bands I will support forever. I bought the Alkaline Trio record before I heard a song. I'd buy anything John K Samson without hearing it too but he's in a place where he doesn't want to release much physically. I've been trying to get him to let me release Hold Music or Vivat Virtute EP or the random singles he's not released physically forever.

    Dear VC,
    It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that I come here today to announce the passing of our beloved Juan's father, who departed from this world 6/30/23. During this difficult time, we gather as a community to extend our deepest condolences, love, and support to @jhulud and his entire family.

        Advertisement: 0:26           As many of us know, Juan has been an integral part of this community, without him there is no us. His commitment and efforts to this community extend outside of these boards, and he is a dear friend to many beyond this music community. It's our turn to give back and show our unwavering support to him.
    Unfortunately, this unforseen and sudden tragedy has left an immense emotional and financial burden on the family. The hospital expenses have been overwhelming, and there are also concerns about the family home's stability in the face of these challenging circumstances.
    To offer help and alleviate some of the financial stress a GoFundMe campaign will be organized, and shared here shortly. With hope, these funds should ease the excessive medical expenses, and provide them with the means to keep their cherished family home.
    If you have a moment to extend your heartfelt condolences to @jhulud and his family please do so. May he find comfort in the love and support of this community during this difficult journey of healing.

    I can help but giggle when you guys consider $10 expensive. In Europe that's below average shipping costs, unless shipped within the same country.

    Heard the picture disc is /1,000 and limited to 20 per customer so you should absolutely drop $2K on them as soon as you're able.

    I genuinely thought this was some new indie or punk band when I opened the topic. Pretty wild situation, but I'm genuinely not sure what to do. Sorry.

    Damn I missed this when it went up. Thanks Scott.  I love JKS so much.  Wonder if they will press this one? I've bugged them about pressing Millennium for All and Fantasy Baseball but haven't been able to get anywhere with Epitaph licensing or JKS direct.  I talked to Christine a little bit about some things.

    Presumably the swarm of Phoebe fanatics who got into vinyl when the pandemic hit, and will hyperventilate if they don’t buy every “pretty color” to showcase on a YouTube channel with 26 subscribers.
