I've never listened to Cooper before.  Can you relate his work to some other artists?  Out and about this weekend and unable to YouTube or Spotify him on the fly, but I'd like to hear a comparison if you can spare one.

I'm a huge fan of Parole de Navarre, brilliant album. Also the pressing, being Denovali, is super lush and flawless. It's dark, lots of slow builds, huge on atmosphere and tension. Horror jazz maybe? Dark jazz? Post-jazz?! It's somewhere between latter, post-rock Talk Talk and Burial.

Excited for new Dale Cooper. Artwork is perfect as well. 

edit: is there a new Greg Haines record in the works at all? I am gagging for some new Greg.

The Tomb Raider Suite Kickstarter is up with orchestral recordings of TR1-3 on CD and Vinyl.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1636910846/the-tomb-raider-suite

Can't wait to hear the orchestral version of this 

Could've maybe saved themselves a lot of trouble by releasing this statement in the first place! Oh well. Still, their (ex?) fan base will read this as a poor underhanded attempt to reconcile with the victim(s), ultimately still leaving everyone in a position of confusion because no one knows who or what to believe. The situation is well and truly screwed.

 So glad they kept the logo on all the things and the box. This will guarantee I never misplaced one of the two volumes in another box set or something!

Received my record from BSM. I can see on Twitter they've replied to people about returns so drop them an email with your order number: [email protected]

I was being squinted at by the band. I know I'm not that hard to blend in being a burly (slight overweight) and bearded dude.

They're trying to figure out if you're a bear or cub. The lines are so blurred.

So there's this horrific account here: http://jezebel.com/member-of-queer-punk-band-pwr-bttm-accused-of-sexual-as-1795132781

In any case, they - any victim - should probably seek out help (legal or otherwise) in the light of things as it'll solidify truth instead of floating as rumours.

Y'all remember playing Tony Hawk 2 and being randomly subjected to Papa Roach? The only bad thing about that game. 

U jk m8?

Restart level until I heard that PUMPING guitar riff and then I knew I was about to throw down the sickest manual combo for a whole 2 minutes. 

Got my clear in today! Stream up here for anyone on the fence with this (as there's still clear LPs left): http://www.spin.com/2017/05/perfume-genius-new-album-no-shape-stream/ It's seriously amazing.

I've got some email reminders from Banquet Records (yesterday and today, for things i've now purchased but went out of stock at the time), so I think they've put up some more stock, worth checking out if you're still looking for stuff.  https://www.banquetrecords.com/record-store-day-2017

Also, quite a few Devil Sold His Soul left https://www.banquetrecords.com/devil-sold-his-soul-record-store-day/a-fragile-hope-[rsd]/BSK059LP

Woo. UK RSD releases go live at GMT 00:01 tonight/Saturday. That's Rough Trade, Resident(?), Crash, Banquet etc.

Everything  (the game by David O'Reilly) is being released by Erased Tapes, with a limited clear vinyl for snazziness. Snazz.

https://www.erasedtapes.com/release/eratp099-ben-lukas-boysen-sebastian-plano-everything

Should note that this isn't the full soundtrack on vinyl as it's 4 hours long, but is instead 10 songs from the game.

Y'all want Cribs but I'm actually getting you Aqua. Gotta keep the flame alive. 

These nutters sent me two for $2 to the UK (in a padded envelope).  Surprisingly it survived, slight bend in one corner, can't complain as I've had worse!

Just got a ship notification.

Same. *Notification intensifies*

I'm evil so I downloaded that crud leak… really enjoyed this on my first listen, so much that I pre-ordered it. Almost nearly skipped this else. 

Your shipping is currently 0 no matter where in the world. Please don't burn yourselves. 

Instant-buy. Huge fan of Direwolves, put out some intense shit and top it all off by being flipping great live. Highly recommend the first EP (Me From Myself - To Banish) if anyone's looking to get into them, dat EP got flow. 

Got my OG way back after discovering Detektivbyrån became this band. Highly recommend picking up Wermland at the same time as it's such a wonderful album – also available in the Wintergatan store – they're a real talented bunch. Also, in attempt to become the world's cutest band they also included hand written thank you notes with my purchases and an EP. Love it!

If you were thinking of picking up a copy of Samorost OST, there's a sale on: http://store.minorityrecords.com/ - Use code: SPRING2017 at checkout

Intheclouds are giving away a free flexi with orders 

But wait, there's more! For Monkeys is being repressed for RSD https://www.banquetrecords.com/millencolin-record-store-day/for-monkeys-(20th-anniversary-edition)-[rsd]/8714092752410

Just finished my first listen and the difference in quality from Life In Cycles to No Clearance is staggering. Love the production on this far more than LiC, this is clean and full of energy, which suits the band's music as it's packed with lots of chill that just blow up into awesome moments. But these moments are not as intense as LiC, not that it's a bad thing, they've progressed and found better ways to make songs feel huge without relying on something tried, test and typical. Definitely at their tightest on this record too, absolutely faultless. Can't wait for my splatter to arrive
