Mine came today. Sounds excellent, looks excellent.

As far as I can tell, none of these recordings were on the discography. You can't even go to the movies or buy a cocktail in Manhattan with $9. I say quit whining. I pre-ordered mine in both colors. Fucking psyched. I hope these recent releases (aside from this one, the re-release of their first 7" "World to Be Saved...") signal the possibility of a reunion show, since I never got to see'em live.

Nothing worng with cassettes only labels... Yeah! It gives hipsters something to spend their parent's money on besides ironic tattoos and garish clothing!

So who got the rainbow vinyl? Up some pics! I got pepto pink, and I'm insanely curious what the rainbow looks like. Happy Pride!

Hey, so my friend showed up Saturday, and they told him he had to be there on Thursday in order to get the Jon Wayne album. Is Third Man selling it anywhere now that SXSW is over?

My friends are going to be playing SXSW tomorrow and I just got off the phone with them asking if they'll stop by and get me a copy of the Jon Wayne vinyl. They're going to try and find the place if they have a chance. Does anyone have any idea if there are a good number of them left? I'd rather not force my friends to go on a wild goose chase for me if it's sold out already. Also... psyched!

I got my package this week and am stoked on everything that came in it- especially my Beer Party shirt! I can't wait to show off at the gym innit! You guys also added in free stuff on top of my free stuff, so thanks a ton!

Those are really gorgeous.

If anyone wants to share one of their extra copies with me, it'd be awesome! Or can one of you nerds who use that interweb-thing upload it to MediaFire or something and post the link here? I'm gonna try not to miss out on Volume 2 this time!

Is the first mix tape still available? I forgot to add it to my order last time I bought a record from you guys.

Wow, that's a bummer. Have the members started any new projects?

I got the Tricky Dick CD, plus a patch & button. I'd never listened to them before, & I found I really like them. I've got the pin on my bag now, & am gonna go see them next time they play NYC. Anyone know when that might be? I also got something else in the mail from Quincy Shanks, but I hafta go pick it up at the post office, so I'm not sure what it is yet.

Alriiiiight! I got the Start/Stop switch working! Huzzah! Now the problem is that the turntable's not turning, even though the motor is humming along okay. I think the belt must have slipped off when I was brutalizing the switch into unsticking. Can anyone tell me how to remove the platter so I can access the belt? I've tried just prying it off, and I've tried turning it and pulling up at the same time, but it's not coming off. All the tutorials I've found make removing the platter sound like the easy part, so I can't find any helpful information. Thanks!

I'm using an iTouch for internetting right now, so it's a lot easier for me to just post this link here than maneuver through emailing you: http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/niknack/2903049818/ It's not my scan, it's courtesy of a friend of mine. If Integrity played more shows with Sticks and Stones, might be worth your while to browse through her Flickr.

I popped the sucker open & I can see where the black plastic switch connects to a piece that's supposed to pivot. When it pivots, it tugs a thin metal piece that switches on the motor, while at the same time pushing another piece in towards the needle-area. What I'm stuck on now is why the pivoting piece won't slide these things into place smoothly. The piece that triggers the motor seems clear, and like it would smoothly, but the piece near the needle seems to be blocked by something. I can't figure out why it won't budge. I'm wondering if there's an obstruction somewhere- a screw securing the movable parts to transport the record player more safely, or a button I need to push that will let everything slide as it should. Any ideas?
