    Oblivions got a reaction from daegor in There Will Be Hell Toupée! (The Donald Trump Thread)   
    Also a brown guy. 
    I think liberalism and the left and whatever else you want to call that 'side' deserves a ton of pushback and scrutiny, even when it's uncomfortable or confrontational. But I disagree that said push back should be delivered in the form of playing devil's advocate for groups that promote hate or racist ideals or even attitudes that are less sinister/intentional but built on the framework of racist ideals. I'd love to see young, frustrated males on the internet tear Democrats apart for benefitting from corruption and economic inequality while pretending to care about everyone and bring about change in that area. It's a bummer when that passion and frustration is channeled into fighting peers who advocate for minority groups and communities and to perpetuating the idea that empathy is a weakness and flippancy and a lack of empathy is an intellectual strength. Making it safer to be outspokenly racist or rude and safer to perpetuate less overt racist/rude ideas without any challenge will definitely disrupt and frustrate your peers, such as fellow VCers, but it will also lead to a lower quality of life for disadvantaged groups and do absolutely no harm to the people at the top who are truly benefitting from our current system. That said, this is the internet and we are males, so fighting and dick-measuring is going to happen but I hope, at some point, we can find similarities and aim our toxic venom upward at the corrupt instead of at each other all the time.

    My guess is they saw that 200-300 people bought the 500 copies and wanted more people/fans to get in on the color train. Good job to them for changing the color and noting it as a 'second press' instead of adding more copies or advertising a new third 'first pressing' variant.

    Oblivions got a reaction from Sidney Crosley in There Will Be Hell Toupée! (The Donald Trump Thread)   
    I can empathize with feeling angry and helpless. There are large swaths of people who have been left out and left behind and the current system is trending more and more away from helping them lead productive, meaningful lives. 
    What I don't empathize with is the choice to aim that anger and apply the blame toward immigrants, poor people, minorities, gays, or any sub group that isn't in charge of our system and is historically just as kicked down by our system as you are feeling. It's a distraction and it doesn't benefit you or improve your situation.
    It's not about being nice either. I think it's ok for people to be selfish and get what's best for themselves and advocate for themselves. If we all fought for what was needed to improve our lives, I can guarantee it would help everyone.

    Oblivions got a reaction from stl_ben in FS: RECORDS (MANY RARE)   
    I PM'd him and bought all the records for $10,000. In your face, haters.
    JK.
    I'm a Mustard Plug fan and just wanted to pop in and say I don't know why people think that yellow Evildoer's Beware is so rare or valuable. I mean I love the album and love my $10 copy I bought new on Amazon like a month ago but I think 1 person on Discogs priced it super high for like a year with no other sellers (or sales) and then people assumed that was the value. Interesting when that happens to a random 90s ska band you like.

    Hurry is one of those bands where, when you find out someone likes them, you instantly know that person is a trustworthy and intelligent individual.
    One of the best bands right now.

    Oblivions reacted to dawhizz in New dada 7” single - a steal at $60!   
    Also relevant - their fan base is small and trends older obviously, but is fairly rabid. I went to see them when they went through St. Louis a few years ago. I have no doubt a lot of these singles will be snapped up in short order, regardless of the price.

    The 2018 Topshelf Records subscription is up! Be sure to enter my code RICHFELI into the notes section during checkout & you'll get a $10 store credit as part of their new referral system for this year. Use it on a shirt or some tapes.

    Big thanks to anyone who uses my code! The 2017 sub was probably my favorite label sub I did this year, both because the genre range and quality of releases was awesome and because Robbie is doing the Lord's work in their shipping/customer service department. I signed up for 2018 as soon as it went up a few weeks back.

    I stopped using Uline mailers once I found out about the douchebags who own and run the company. The Uihlein family loves to support Far-Right Republicans like alleged child molester Roy Moore. I also urge you to ask retailers to stop using their product as well.

    As long as you keep it in it's original shrink, it is basically Mint/Near Mint. Anyone who disagrees with your grading is probably a Discogs scammer.
