    How is being offended by everything that Trump stands for somehow the same as supporting Bill Clinton. I didn't vote for Bill Clinton. I don't support Bill Clinton. I also voted for Hillary only because she was clearly the lesser of two evils. 

     

    Obama did some extremely shitty/shady things as president. His justice apartment spied on AP journalists, he failed to get us out of a war he inherited, patriots like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden have been treated horribly, etc. Presidents always do shitty things, the nature of the job demands it, to some degree. But to elect a hideous person like Trump into this office is too much and I am genuinely afraid that he will continue to strip away our freedoms - this shit with the election commission, bringing back the emphasis on mandatory minimum sentences for minor crimes, etc. And that says nothing of the temperament issue he has (undeniable). It's embarrassing that he's representing America to the world and I do not understand the compulsion to blindly defend him.

     

    Also everyone knows how impeachment goes, right? Hillary doesn't somehow become president if he gets the boot. This isn't an attack on conservatism (we can have that debate, if you want) it's an objection to this particular man. Tax cuts for the rich, healthcare, the environment - those are issues that can be debated, this guy as "leader of the free world"? Come on.

    Not trying to fight, but what in the world are the Democrats (and Rinos) trying to impeach Trump on? The Russian hacking narrative is flimsy at best and if that gets proven false what are the anti-Trumpers on about? The deep state just WILL NOT LET HIM GOVERN - they lost, let the man be president.

    Now, here's a great bit.

     

    Trump tells a story of how he assaulted a woman, WHILE WEARING A MICROPHONE TO RECORD, and you don't believe him that he did it.

     

    Clinton has accusers who recanted and you believe them.

     

    THINK!

    What are you talking about, it was 1 private statement which I'm pretty sure was a general hyperbole. You can't tell the difference between hyperbole and a statement of fact? 

    Bill's accusers didn't recant - Trump had them as guests to a debate and then there's Lewinsky. 

    Not to mention Cathy OBrien who states she was raped by Hillary at 12 years old. 

  3. Yeah, I was basically an OST kid, I had the Lion King OST tape, Batman Forever OST CD, Mission: Impossible OST CD, Mortal Kombat OST CD, Moral Kombat: Annihilation OST CD among others. Those were my favorites though. 

    With Batman Forever and Mission: Impossible I'm surprised I didn't turn out to be a U2 fan. 

  4. Batman Forever has an awesome soundtrack and I would buy it instantly if it was officially released. There is a promo 2LP version pressed but I can't seem to find a copy in good condition.

    I also liked the movie, it was the first Batman movie I saw in the theatre when I was young and I still like it now.

    Batman & Robin is the terrible Batman movie if we are ranking the Schumacher Batman films. 

    I never got into Space Jam though. I loved the classic Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny but I do not like updated Looney Tunes.

    Stand Blue is the same as the Mixed Marbled Baby Blue that is advertised on the SMLXL website, right?

    Sorry just saw this, I think there is just the one variant. I was just calling it a standard blue. 

    What I find interesting though is that SMLXL states that the Hello Hurricane jacket will be gatefold. Maybe we will get some expanded artwork.

    I still haven't snagged a copy of Air For Free (I know, I'm a loser), I wish I would have gotten the sweet split variant. 

     

    That being said, anyone have that split variant for sale? Also I was looking on Discogs and some people have the white pressing available but say that it has both regular LP's, but also mispressed LP's? what was the problem with the white pressing? 

    Those who ordered the first press of Air For Free (I was one of them) most had skipping and playback issues throughout the LPs. When I received my free replacement, SMLXL just sent out the new LPs with no jacket and an apology letter explaining what to do with the defective discs - turn them into bowls. Lol

    I have, but I didn't notice the difference, but i haven't seen the Columbia.  I just got into Switchfoot and Relient K this year, believe it or not, I was home sick and turned on the outdoor channel and their documentary was on "Fading West",  just watching that got me much more into the band. Went and saw them and did the VIP thing in February, great show, great guys.  Relient K opened, Air for Free was my first lp of theirs and just fell in love with the Beatlesque sounds/vocals and the lyrics.  Did convince them to play "Candy Hearts" at the show, I ran into their bass player in the lobby with his dad, told him how much I like their music, and how much I loved Candy Hearts, and begged them to play it.


     

    That's awesome. Switchfoot always put on great shows. I have seen them 3 times now and they never disappoint. I really wanted to see Switchfoot with Relient K on this past tour but I was unable to travel for the nearest date. I really wanted to see Deathbed live and with the two bands touring I'm sure Relient K had Jon on to perform it.

    I'm just glad it is not SRC, I will actually get a shipping confirmation and communication about the shipment, unlike The Beautiful Letdown.  SRC was the letdown, they were suppose to send me coupons for all the issues I had, never got them.

    Have you seen SRCs press of Nothing Is Sound? The jacket is terrible quality - the art is all blown out. My original Columbia label press is much better.

    That and Hello Hurricane were the things I was most excited about, I would assume so, given only 300.  I ordered them before I posted here.

    I agree, I have an OG Hello Hurricane but I am glad it is pressed again so many more people can enjoy it. The first press was limited to only 1000 copies which made for a crazy aftermarket. 

    I am really excited for Nashville Tennis EP as well, I have wanted this pressed ever since SMLXL started pressing Relient K albums. Very happy to have this soon.

  10. And I think it is terrible thing the military actions Trump is taking. He campaigned on not going to war. It is quite clear with the Syrian bombing:

    A)Assad did not "gas" his own people - the response crews show this, they were not protected against the remnants of a Sarin gas attack

    B)Why would Assad bomb his own population when he knew it would bring outside forces in

    C) The forces to blame for the bombing did the same before to try to get Obama to act and he didn't because he found out the bombs came from Turkey (I believe)

    D)There was no study of the attack - the generals just told Trump to bomb

    There have been forces trying to remove all of the sovereign leaders throughout the middle east for the benefit of top people and Syria is one of the last states to fall and Trump should stop now so we don't impose regime change (again) and quite possibly go to war with Russia.

    So, all I can do is agree with you. Trump is the best. Women are scum. The environment is the worst. Immigrants are scary (unless they're white and Christian). You win. Let's go find some place to bomb together. We could organize a google hangout or something and point to areas on maps and just...mmmm...well, you know.

    More facetious mockery assumptions on how a person on the right believes - great for discourse.

    Ahh, I got it now. Some parts of the article I am supposed to believe and extrapolate on but other parts I am supposed to ignore.

     

    Here's where I stand - the US collects, stores and catalogs data on people whenever they can. They spy on foreign powers routinely (one of the big Snowden reveals was a tap on Merkel's phone), everyone paying attention knows this. Those that this is a revelation for, well, welcome to the party. Trump was clearly caught up in something with the Russians. If there was a direct tap on Trump that's interesting and directly contradicts very public statements from a number of very powerful people. It could be a big coordinated lie (not the first one) but I'm skeptical because there were other easier avenues/excuses for them to take if they were directly monitoring Trump. How the information was gained is important but it is not nearly as important as what it says. There seems to be another shoe to drop. If Trump wanted to he could declassify all of this right now. He hasn't done that. Instead he has engaged in a dramatic "about face" on foreign policy and has commenced dropping bombs or threatening to drop bombs on anyone that he thinks the media will find palatable. It's disgusting and transparent and unfortunately, effective.

    How is Trump "clearly caught up in something with the Russians"? There is no proof of collusion with Russia, it is all speculation (guilty until proven innocent). Some are thinking the "Piss dossier" (which is fake news/made up) was created so the powers that be could have the go-ahead to wiretap Trump and have an excuse to know what his gameplan was during the election. And he still won.... I am willing to bet the "Piss dossier" IS THE LINK to the Russians - and it is FAKE and made up. This whole Russia narrative begun swirling because the left just can't accept he won fair and square. And the wiretapping speculation which those on the left point to as proof of collusion with Russia is all built on a disgusting lie. And you can't point to Manafort doing business with Ukraine as a gotcha moment. I will go back to Podesta sitting on many Russian business boards. 

  13. I have a dual Technics deck that allows me to dub cassettes, but I haven't used the dubbing part yet. So I just listen to my tapes on the deck through my stereo speakers while I play video games or study. 

    Funny thing is, I have such a wide variety of tapes now, I just mainly listen to cassettes. For me, they are less of a hassle to play then putting an LP on my turntable. (I don't have a CD deck hooked up yet, or I would also listen to CDs as well)
