Very nice looking records. I couldn't imagine screening and gluing all those 10-inches. That's balls homie.

Just showed up at work today to find my copy of The Hold Steady "Boys and Girls in America" on blue vinyl sitting at my desk. Not bad for 9am on a Monday.

I think it's funny because people who do the show deserve whatever they get. I'd be on that show for like 3 seconds before I was like, "this is rondo, buh-bye". Let's ignore the fact that lie detectors are inadmissible as evidence in court, why answer this shit for TV? You know they had to do a survey before hand or they wouldn't even know this shit about these people. I think it's a stupid, fast idea for a mid-season filler, but I'm sure tons of "So you think you can dancing with the fifth grade stars idol or no deal" fans will watch it.

This is really messed up. It's one thing if you bought it, held on to it and times got hard or you just don't collect anymore. But to have it up four hours after you bought it? That's just screwed up. I really wish I could say that this wouldn't sell but both bands have enough rabid fans that someone will bid. It's just a shame really.

Proof Hitler was all about image. Or he would have sprung for 180gram.

Next week: "Small town family recaptures the spirit of Christmas. Remove Spirit's foot in an attempt to prevent future escapes"

Was there some way to obtain a test pressing that I am unawares of? or do you just need to be on the ins?

I have Operation Ivy - Energy Lp on Lookout 89'(The laytonville labels, correct?) I would be willing to sell or trade (if you have a list). Also, the record store near where I live has some Jay Reatard stuff I could look at if'in ya like. PM me if you're interested.

Yeah, anyone picking this up or is it just a wash?

The CD is enclosed in the vinyl. Additionally, the 7" is probably "Thrash Unreal" I know they had copies of that enclosed with pre-orders and might have some left.

I'd be interested. I just picked it up on purple. let me know if there's anything on my list of interest.

Right, I basically had this last night after my company holiday party where I ate about four pounds of bread pudding and cheese cake. Not my usual late lunch.

Alright, at least people think it's funny. That's how I took it but I didn't want to tell anyone and have them be like, "eww, you're sick".

Complete fucking doucheness. To bring up Jason Webley (yet again) he's done a limited 7" series where each 7" is limited to 1,111 copies (each numbered with stickers that Jason cuts out of a big fucking sheet and adheres to each cover). Each 7" is on colored vinyl and the cover is unique artwork done by Jason, as well as an insert with stories by the parties involved (usually Jason and another artist). In addition each 7" is accompanied with a CD (not CD-R) of the music on the 7", as well as various outtakes and B-sides. All of this costs $11. I'm sorry he's involved in "electronic culture" and feels that $16 for a DJ sleeve is okay and people should be happy and shut up, but it's not a reasonable deal. He's dealing with mostly Alkaline Trio fans who have experience with Asian Man (and the likes) and are used to LP's costing $10 and having awesome packaging. For him to act surprised is horseshit.

Damn is the Mission to Burma out already? Insaniond!

So I've wanted to tell someone about this but I don't want to seem like a freak. Since I don't know any of y'all it seems like a good idea. I had this crazy ass dream last night where I'm at work and I go to use the urinal. I go into the bathroom and there's some guy I don't recognize washing his hands, I head over to the urinal. I'm peeing in the urinal (which usually means I'm pissing the bed but I'm safe) and I rip this huge fart. The guy washing his hands makes this disgusted noise and I look back to say "excuse me" or something. Suddenly, I realize that it's not a guy but a woman. Confused and embarrassed I turn to look back at the urinal and ignore her. Only it's not a urinal, it's now a stall and instead of a bowl it's a woman sitting on a toilet and I'm pissing all over her face. I'm pretty sure I woke up after that or I was transported to some field or something but that was the weirdest damn dream ever.

Mine actually went something like this:

The funniest part is that Mike literally has none of the Broadways shit on hand. I heard he literally had to ask someone for a copy of Broken Van because he doesn't have one. But yes, massively stoked on this.

Sorry I can't imagine what you'd be scared of. I highly suggest you find some cheap air fare. Honestly, I don't know. My wife pretty much told me she wanted me to propose (and I wanted to) so it was just a matter of getting the ring and everything. So I wasn't really nervous at all. OF NOTE: Please plan your proposal out. I actually put a lot of thought into mine and I decided it was best to do it right in our apartment (placing the ring in a handcraft box I got from Italy, of course). While it wasn't ubber romantic I know my wife is a crier and if did it in public she would cry and be embarrassed about crying in public. It was private and personal just like she likes it. Good luck and make sure not to drop the ring down a drain.

Never even heard of Miss Machine on Yellow. Repress?

Those are also unbelievably small numbers. I mean, it's still about 1,000 times more than Daughtry should sell but it's not like those are amazing numbers.

DAMN update on the 1-2-3-4 Go! site: ARRIVALS / BROKEDOWNS and FUTURE VIRGINS / ONION FLAVORED RINGS 7" COLORED VINYL DELAY...: In what I believe is a truly bizzare, but what I've been assured is totally normal, turn of events the black vinyl for the two new splits has arrived but the colored vinyl won't be printing for another week! In six years of putting out records I've never had a two week delay like this but the plant says it happens all the time. Anyway I'm super sorry for everyone who pre-ordered these. If you haven't ordered yet, colored vinyl is still available but there isn't much left so jump on it while you've got the chance! Check out the BUY STUFF link in the menu up above. So bummed. Oh and Marvels of Industry kills!!! So glad I got it on colored vinyl.

I got some promo card from BYO for their DVD. It's got some code to download it or something. Came in a handy little BYO envelope. It's unused and should be somewhere around here if you want it. Doubt it's worth much

it is
