New show announced in Philly with Planning for Burial. So stoked to finally see both these bands!

..ordered the /250, now I'm broke, but happy.

Is this the same Maynard who decided to release his band's greatest album only as a picture disc?

I heard it's coming out on Ross' new offshoot, Enjoy the Tool records. Sourced from the finest scratched up CD-R he could get his hands on. Can't wait!

I saw Thom Yorke in a grocery store in LA today. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw Thom trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I'll shit my pants a bit if we see Boomkat, Bleep or RT waver on PO numbers.

lol so the black retail price is the same as shipping the blue from overseas. Glad I didn't wait.

It's so refreshing to see some Kinks 7"s, a Flaming Lips LP and a handful of nostalgia-soaked reissues of 90s soundtracks.

I've been there.  I've been fortunate enough that a lot of the shit I listen to – and you as well, I'm sure – isn't exactly sought after.  Or at least not clearly, upfront.  Dude isn't going to gamble and buy 3 copies of weird ambient records or obscure shoegaze that Newbury isn't peddling.  But I still prefer to play it safe and just text friends or VCers directly, before making a thread.  After a bit of time and confidence that we're all hooked up, I'll make a thread if there isn't one already... and it's really shitty that that's what it has come to, as a community, but it's the safest route.  And I'm so grateful for the people who text me when shit pops up, immediately: you know who you are.
 
I give a lot of shit in this thread and others when I see copies of the new Green Day record being flipped, or some limited Day To Remember variant, or whatever.  I joke around and suggest that no one should care enough about those records, in the first place, and that they're better off without them.  But I can practice enough empathy to realize that the situation fucking blows.  I see a lot of defense for flipping – "it's their money, dude, who are you to care what he does with it?" and "lol, Derek doesn't understand supply and demand" – but at the end of the day, if a release I wanted - really, seriously wanted - popped up and sold out while I took a night to sleep and a day to work, and was being sold immediately after at triple the price... I'd be crushed.  "Ya' snooze ya' lose" is a horse-shit rebuttal to that and I think we all know it.  I spend a ton of time tinkering on VC on my breaks, or during the evenings when I'm home, and I still find stuff that has slipped through the cracks that pertain to my interest.  It's harder for me to sympathize with people when they don't log in for a week and are devastated that they missed a PO in that timeframe, but I can actually understand why some people had been waiting on that BCR repress for years, and were miffed when it went up with minimal heads-up, and sold out within 24 hours.  That isn't to fault Pseudo Travis' subtle and brief marketing strategies in this thread – but instead of giving everyone a week or a month to mark their calendars and prepare a bulk-buy to offload on Ebay, only the unemployed neckbeard lurkers were privy to the drop.  I guess it's better to have 2-3 sweaty flippers divebomb a limited release rather than 12+?  But again, this loops back to my first paragraph, and how tricky the situation is however you cut it.
 
These aren't people who are buying a copy to listen to – that's a given.  But they're not even people who are buying a copy to frame, maybe eventually play, photograph on Instagram, and then resell at twice the MSRP.  These are people with zero interest in any of the bands in these threads, buying 10, 15, 20 copies of a release /900 or so, and listing them for sale before they even have them on their doorstep.  Really stupid.  And considering the limited nature of vinyl and its aftermarket these days, they can afford to cast a wide net over any topics consistently bumped at VC, because the ones that "strike it rich" will more-than compensate for purchases that they wash even on or lose money with.  It's greed and its worst, and it's gross to consider that some of these sellers probably give a cursory glance at the album art or a quizzical look over the packaging before putting it in a mailer and sending it out.  "Huh.  Is a King Gizzard Wizard Lizard the new Circus Survive?  Is that what you kids are into these days?  Alright."  If they're not already among us as a shitlord in sheep's clothing, I imagine RareLimiteds' introductory post on VC would be akin to
 

"Picture disc"

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

Cancelled due to low demand.

I pray to the RSD gods that All Time Quarterback will finally be released on vinyl.

Why does everyone keep comparing records to cars? That argument makes less sense than people being upset over corner dings.
