Eight copies of this one left before it's gone for good.

Band is making waves so make sure you add this one to your collection before it's too late.

Orders ship out within 24hrs.

What are the chances you have a copy of Dogwood Tales- Too Hard To Tell laying around?

Too bad Self Titled and Latest Thing aren't pressed.  I'd buy those in a second.

Wasn't this album released on Dreamworks in 2003, and is now getting repressed?  That being said, wasn't Sing The Sorrow released on Dreamworks in 2003?  Not sure how the licensing works, but maybe it's a small sign of what's to come.

I LOVE this band, and All I Want is my favorite "skate" song ever.....but Jesus, I didn't know this many people cared to have this many copies pressed.

Ordered in a second.  That $4 shipping was a nice surprise.

If you end up getting the rights and press The Exit- New Beat, I'll pay $100 for a copy.

That’s too funny. The $500 is also my “without my wife killing” amount. 

Ha!  I feel like I know you somehow.  Maybe it's from being part of the Virgil days or maybe shows at Durty Nellies and the city.  I don't know.  

Fuck dude, that's awesome you went and reported back.  I'll throw $500 in the pot, but like you, I wouldn't want to pack and mail to other backers across the country.  Definitely a gamble, and not sure if there is enough time to put it all together, but I can pitch in $500 without my wife killing me.  And I can take off work Thursday to help you move it all.

I’d certainly entertain splitting it. As long as I’m allowed to open the boxes I could make a serious offer

Let me know.  You're in Palatine, right?

Chicago VC group buy? I'm only half joking.

 

Edit: There are a ton of RIAA awards in the greater auction, as well, if that's your jam.

I would throw $500-$1000 at it, if you were being serious.

A pallet of Victory Records test pressings?  Makes you wonder what's on it.

That Buckcherry S/T album is a banger.  I'm not even joking.

I’ve loved the Smashing Pumpkins for a long, long time. If I absolutely had to say, I guess they’re my favorite band and have been for 26 years. I’ve been very optimistic with all of their recent releases and have found some good in all of them. I thought Silvery Sometimes off Shiny and Oh So Bright was pretty good and a couple others weren’t bad. I also listened to Oceania again for the first time in years and enjoyed that and will have to spin Monuments as well, but the 4 songs they’ve released for this new record have been a big bummer for me. I completely agree with everyone’s confusion on such a synth heavy sound with 3 guitars and programmed drums when Jimmy fucking Chamberlain is in your band. I’ll give it a chance, but so far The Colour of Love is just palatable.  The others Ill do without. Hopefully we’ll get some rockers. 

Totally agree.  My all time favorite band and Billy is my favorite songwriter ever.  But these new songs fucking suck.  I'll keep giving them chances, and I still pre-ordered the record, but goddamn, I'm bummed.

Good God, that is an amazing collection.  Well done.

My 10 favorite probably.

Bad City- Welcome To The Wasteland
Foxy Shazam- S/T
Against Me- White Crosses (seriously)
Gaslight Anthem- Handwritten
Dave Hause- Devour
Menzingers- After The Party
Lady Gaga- Born This Way
Hardcore Superstar- You Can't Kill My Rock N' Roll
The Smashing Pumpkins- Shiny Oh So Bright Vol. 1
Taylor Swift- 1989

and I think my favorite so far this year is The Damned Things- High Crimes

I got my Dave Hause pre-order this week, and they included Memphis May Fire- This Light I Hold Blue, and also Gone is Gone- Echolocation.  Not a bad deal for paying for 1 LP.

Something weird has to be happening with The Crow.  Rough Trade has literally almost everything listed except The Crow.

If anyone still needs that Stone Sour RSD from 2015, I have one on my shelf I'll trade for The Crow.  Let me know.

I went to two stores and both had copious amounts of The Crow. It'll be online tomorrow definitely at some places.

Roger that.  Thanks buddy.  You need to start making more vids!

Can someone please explain to me HOW THE FUCK copies of The Crow are selling for $100+ on ebay?  Didn't I read there was like 8000 pressed, or am I just mad my store didn't get any copies of it?

What's so bad about Matt?  Seems like a nice guy who has a passion for music.  Am I missing something?

Rise records. 

Ordered the Hot Water Music bundle and a Dave Hause (favorite songwriter in a long time) cassette from their webstore. 

I also bought a couple Dave Hause items from Rise on Ebay around the same time.  I had being trying to win a copy of the Dave Hause- Resolutions Test Press, but they kept going for more than I could afford.  I missed out on it again, and just messaged the seller (who happens to own/run/works for Rise) and asked if they had anymore test presses they were going to put up, as I missed out on the two they had listed ($77 & $100 is what they went for)  I also told him that if he hadn't shipped my Hot Water Music bundle yet, that they could just add these 2 ebay items to my HWM package, to save them on shipping.  I never got a response.

I get the Hot Water Music package today and this is what happened:
1. The record mailers were all wrapped in a plastic shipping bag, which prevented them from getting wet from the snow.
2. They threw in a free LP and 2 7" (Hidden In Plain View & Placebo)
3. Also in the package was a Resolutions TEST PRESS!!!!  I couldn't believe it.  I've bought from them a lot over the years, but never in my wildest dreams did I expect to get this.

So, Rise Records: You are amazing.  I love you. Thank you.

Not sure how good it is, because I'm not a Beck fan, but Colors Deluxe Red 2LP is down to $10.
It's included in the 20% off of $50.  Thought about adding it for a Christmas gift.

I'm an ETL at a Target.  Those Christina LPs are in a shipper as part of the "4 Day AD", that should have been put out Sunday morning.  They should be located by the "4 Day AD" Movie shippers, unless your target is a Super Target, then they will just be freestanding in front of the small music section.  They will be $15 on black friday along with some other exclusives, if your store manages to still have any left.

I recently went down a Discogs rabbit hole that included looking up all those represses SH/VC did at their peak and it's crazy how many of those albums go for money now. I straight up *gave away* at least 2 of those Heavy Heavy Low Low records to people who bought stuff from me, I had a ton of those Ferret titles from buying a few grab bag type things near the end that I probably ended up taking to the record store with other unsellable stuff, now most of them are $50+. Same with the Co-op releases, as much of a clusterfuck as that was. Definitely would not have predicted that when Virgil dropped off the face of the earth and the guy from Deathwish was on here making Fuck You Pay Me threads.

I can't believe some of those prices now for that stuff.  It was like every order contained Foxy Shazaam, Heavy Heavy Low Low, Tim Barry, Joey Cape,  Lizzie Huffman, Yesterday's Ring, Sparta- Threes, In The Red, Useless ID, and lord, those Every Time I Die and Boys Night Out- Make Yourself Sick represses.  I'm making myself sick thinking about it, as the only thing I have left is the orange Delicious Vinyl comp and that Enablers EP.
