Juan owns enough copies to cover 5 of those people at least.

So let me get this straight. You have bought the insane number of Isis variants and represses up unitil now. Which means you probably own 10+ copies of Oceanic. But when they actually do something new with it and remaster it, that's the one you don't buy. LOL. The problem here is with the dumbass collector who is clearly more about collecting than what's on the record, not with Robotic Empire.

Record is in house, showed up in the mail today. We're still taking entries (until 10/17 at Midnight Eastern), here's what you're trying to win; http://theystillpressvinyl.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/win-i-exists-awesome-a-turn-for-the-worse-album/

and now, a visual representation of what this particular all encompassing ban-hammering might look like;

big time co-sign

Black vinyl...nice. Of course I'm broke and can't order them. Oh well, I'll survive I guess.

I'm surprised Juan hasn't mentioned that Shai Hulud linked to his post about this record on They Still Press Vinyl.

picture that should have been attached to my last post

I ordered the same thing and, yeah, that's what I got.

Juan has posted his detailed look at this record at TSPV http://theystillpressvinyl.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/strongarm-the-advent-of-a-miracle-lp-repress/

I hate people. http://cgi.ebay.com/CONVERGE-MY-SHIELD-7-GREEN-VINYL-/320590727222?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item4aa4b24836

I have YFM on Red from the original run, would like to see something based on red/black/white for this run too. I'm a sucker for vinyl that matches, or follows the same theme as, the artwork for the album. I also have a copy of NH on brown/white. I think something along those lines, maybe yellow and red worked into it would look pretty good. On the surface those colors might sound like shit, but in my head I think it looks pretty good. If I had any photoshop skills whatsoever I'd whip something up to illustrate what I see in my head.

Jack White/Jake Bannon collab would epic. Weird as hell, but epic.

Yes boss.

Look forward to you posting a writeup for these on TSPV, Juan

I address the packaging (from an admittedly O.C.D. perspective) a little more in-depth here; http://bit.ly/bn1P5H

same here. But the packaging can kiss my ass. I'm not a flipper, I don't sell my records in anyway shape or form. BUT I am O.C.D. and, while I appreciate creativity, putting this thing in a sealed envelope was just a lame call on somebody's behalf.

I was going to make a snarky comment about that, but then I remembered that thing the dude from Trap Them wrote about the rising cost of shows. And then I remembered I agreed with his central point. So I shelve the snark on this one and just say; damn I want to see Torche live.

promoting a good band is a bad thing? ???

Been listening to the record for the last couple days on my iPod. So highly recommend it.

that's what I wanna know.

Dudes are already setting up their eBay auction templates for this, drooling at the thought of their own version of a 401K getting stronger (why, yes, I am a bit cynical at times. why do you ask?)

HA!
