Yeah. Lathes can vary. And they favor lo-fi music, IMO. Hard to ask for a great price, 50 minimum, and great quality. One of those will have to budge.

As far as "is this still entertaining to me today?", here is my ranking: 1. Why Do They Rock So Hard? 2. Candy Coated Fury 3. Everything Sucks 4. Monkeys For Nothing 5. Turn the Radio Off 6. Cheer Up 7. We're Not Happy... I don't count the covers LP or any EPs, as I listen to those the least by far. Turn the Radio Off, for some reason, doesn't do much for me anymore but the rest of the stuff has aged better, IMO. We're Not Happy will always be the sound of a fun band not having fun on recordings that were ruined but had to be used anyway because they had no money to re-record.

Overall, RBF fans are some of the dumbest, worst people but one good thing about them is that they will always make time for people who need someone with which to talk. If you ever feel like connecting, whether it's in person or online, I recommend hitting up a RBF thread or meetup and they'll give you their attention and time and do it with a sense of humor.

They have little credibility outside of their fan base and people who enjoy that specific slice of mid-90s cheesy ska but, for me, outside of We're Not Happy, every full length delivers a sarcastic, guitar-heavy dose of dumb, entertaining fun for those looking for it. There's a place for culturally relevant, well-reviewed, important bands and there's also a place for bands that just play guitar and toot some horns and have fun without worrying about being the former. RBF are also very fun live, although I haven't seen them in maybe 10 years so someone would have to let me know if that's changed. All that said, it totally makes sense why someone would not like them and ignore them but God bless and have fun using your own time to proclaim it to people who dig them.

Sold some records! Added some records! Including my Sounds Delicious cover series LPs in Kickstarter deluxe variants. These are full album covers released in limited quantities by Turntable Kitchen as part of their Sounds Delicious subscription series. Quilt Spirit of the Golden Juice (Sounds Delicious Kickstarter Deluxe) Cults Motels (Sounds Delicious Kickstarter Deluxe) Gems Imagine (Sounds Delicious Kickstarter Deluxe) Ava Luna Histoire De Melody Nelson (Sounds Delicious Kickstarter Deluxe) Pure Bathing Culture Hats (Sounds Delicious Kickstarter Deluxe) Each one has a light to medium warp but plays without issues. Check the Google doc in the first post for a list of still available records. PM me to place an order.

Got the LP as part of the Asian Man record club a few weeks back. Very solid.

Just bought the Anthology LP and I don't feel like owning 2 copies or selling the LP. Otherwise, I'd probably get this tape set.

I went through all that trouble to get the vote code and I ended up using it to buy 2 Voodoo Glow Skulls LPs. LOL.

The person running the Anti Records Twitter told me to DM them and they got me my vote code soon after. Try hitting them up (nicely!) with your email address if you're still waiting on yours.

Are they delivering these discount codes electoral college style?

Placing a lit birthday candle in a circle of black girls is as poetically violent against women as the National get, as far as I remember.

I'll take the music from Can't Slow Down > Stay What You Are and gladly swap the lyrics about sawing off body parts of women who presumably didn't requite his affection with dumb lyrics about being on the road or in a band or whatever he sings about in 2018.

Seriously. Super rich people spend money on the zaniest of things. This will likely be displayed in a second den or living room alongside an old antique toy truck that cost $3,000 or like a tribal mask that cost $5,000.

TFW you have so much money you have to find creative ways to get rid of it.

Got a tweet reply from Epitaph saying they got overwhelmed and are now sending out codes manually and it will take another day or two, if you haven't already gotten a code.

I emailed Topshelf twice in the last 2 weeks about that missing Toe record and no reply. It's looking like I'll have $200+ extra in my bank account for 2019.

Might be a coincidence but I tried tweeting at Epitaph about it and Twitter blocked my tweet. I found it I needed to remove the getoutthevote.co link in order for it to go through. Does Twitter have strict rules about posting links? And is it random? I'd never seen that happen before.

I know a guy with a time machine who used the coupon before they closed the promotion and he received it and he said it worked.

I’d love to watch a documentary on what exactly happened here one day.

Just added the 7 Inches for Planned Parenthood 7" box set (VG condition). Check the link in the first post for deets.

I wonder if maybe some people got their code sent to them early, before they finished setting up things on their end?

Submitted yesterday afternoon. No coupon email yet.
