nothing, my Mom feigns interest in Frank Turner because I'm in the inside cover art for Poetry of the Deed. They listen to the worst of the worst, Kid Rock/Creed/Pink for my mom....my Dad's taste is alright, mostly just classic rock.
speaking of entire family singing along....I did front of house Security for the venue I work at and there was an entire family that came to St. Vincent and all four of them were really stoked on different songs, and seeing each of their faces light up when she'd play a song that was there favorite was freaking awesome

This.
Venting is fine (I regularly do it and am about to do it right now)... My problem is that I just find it a bit irritating to see people complain that they didn't receive an instantaneous response from Flood, who made it really clear that he was busy getting orders out... And the people that send more than one email? Seriously? If he didn't get to your first email, trust that he's busy (at least for a reasonable amount of time given the situation- popular release, day job, etc.) and that he'll reply to your first email. All you're doing with your second email is wasting time (yours and the recipient's). When he gets to responding to emails, instead of addressing someone else's problem, he's wasting time with your second email.
Oh, and if you're writing to say that yours arrived in perfect condition but it should have been packed better, you need to die. Kidding... Just found those comments a little laughable... But hell, what do I know? This whole discussion, including (maybe even especially) my "contritbution" is a little silly, but hell, kills some time in my work day!
Anyway, what's everyone think of the release? I got mine a few days ago but haven't had time to listen to it... Planning to today. Maybe I'll plan a whole theme thing- call my parents and tell them they'll never understand me, have conversations with friends that don't involve work, smoke clove cigarettes and stay up past 10 on a week night. I'm so jealous of everyone on here in their teens... Except I ate ice cream and chips for dinner, so suck on that...

To me, it's pretty much on par with all the others, except for Another Way, I don't care for that one. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a bad Teenage Bottlerocket album.

Got my black copy yesterday and it's flawless. Maybe if you crybabies weren't such self-righteous, entitled pricks all the time, you wouldn't have received this karmic smackdown. If receiving a warped record is the worst thing to happen to you this month, then it's been a pretty good month. Perspective, motherfuckers.
Just kidding. Sorta. Seriously though, my copy is perfect, as is everything else I've ordered from Asbestos.

Completely agree on the quoted post. People don't care. They see it as a personal attack on their purchase and who they are. Individuals get even more upset when they feel it's personal and get a response from the person who is "supposably" at fault that he's working on the issue and nothing has happen yet. There are a lot of factors that played into some of the damaged items. But to sit here and blame it all one person is ridiculous. Has anyone expressed their dissatisfaction with the USPS? Why are there no stories about what people are doing with the USPS?
To me this isn't another RJ incident. To everyone else, it too, shouldn't be an RJ incident. The records Flood puts out arrived, he shipped, some got damaged, some didn't, he still isn't done shipping them, said he would be soon, and hasn't replied to emails for those with damaged items, well because he may have more to send out. As for Asbestos being like SRC, are you out of your mind?! When has Asbestos still had records up for sale, to which people on this board buy, only to have them beat around the bush why it hasn't been sent, never responding to emails, and then canceling your order because another distro won't sell it to them to fill there excessive orders? C'mon people.
If your that quick to dismiss a record company for warped/damaged/sleeve damage (slight or major), bent corners (which people cry over on here and it HAPPENS A LOT) then more likely than not you will have no one to buy from in the near future. Shit happens. I'm sure Flood is working on taking care of the issues once the priority of sending the rest of the records out is finished. Why would he take on the task of emails, sending out records, updating inventory, and now issuing refunds/replacements all at once? This isn't Man vs. Food and he isn't trying to finish what's on his plate in specified time period. He's trying to make sure that everyone is taken care. If he's not, then you have every right to say fuck him and never buy from him again. No body has patience here. It will be taken care of if you just have patience. Flood is Asbestos and Asbestos is Flood. One person runs the show so be patient.
I'm not singling anyone out. I'm not trying to be a dick but this happens way to often on here. something happens and it's not taken care of immediately and people's world of record collecting becomes unbalanced, leading it to come crashing down instantaneously. I have been on the receiving end of damaged/warped items and amazingly/awesome items. I have always handled them the same by either complimenting them on a job well done or asking how we can correct the issue. Never have I had a record label/distro/band not follow through on fixing the issue. But I will say that the whole time I was working with the people trying to fix the problem I was patient.
Jesus, I just ranted away. My apologizes.

The guy runs an indie record label and is probably on a tight budget already. Jesus Christ cut him some slack. Wouldn't you want somebody else to do the same if you were in his shoes?

you live and learn
everybody make mistakes.
you learn from them
its whatever at this point

you all need to shut the fuck up seriously
you act like flood meant for all of your records to get warped
shit happens get over it and move on
i get that you paid money for it, but why dont you try and email flood and see if you can get a replacement. I guarantee you he would be more than happy to work with you guys on this.

so you can all vent but when i vent i get shit for it?
hypocrites
edit: this wasnt meant to start an argument at all
but to come here and say you are NEVER going to buy from a label again because a record got fucked up in transit is stupid

Forget stupid sunglasses. Can we talk about this related item, which is a VIBRATOR/DOG BED COMBO PACK

WHY ARE THEY SOLD TOGETHER
WHAT IN THE FUCK

Faith in humanity -1...

the shirt is a parody of the uber prevalent "defend pop punk" shirt thats going around
and really we're just gonna start rounding up bigots and lynch them

ive been talking to Dave & Steve for a long time about the back catalog... it should see the light of day at somepoint.

cue "I Kill Children" by The Dead Kennedys

I have to say "The Dark Knight" score on LP is one of my favorite finds. Got it on Amazon in like-new condition for $12. It's way out of print now as is my copy of "Inception". Great scores on vinyl FTW!
There are a few more I just gotta think about them

No Doubt announced the release of their new album "Push and Shove" on September 25th. The first single on the album will be entited "Settle Down" and will be released July 15th. I'm really hoping this is going to be a return to their early days stylisticly. When I saw them in 2009, they played a good bit of older stuff and also a cover of the Skatalites classic "Guns of Navarone". Also Keeping fingers crossed for a vinyl release of this album.
