Got my Loveliescrushing Lp!!!  Hoping the rest of you in the same boat are gonna get it soon too.  

Hey Loveliescrushing folk- good news! Coincidentally, I sent Scott another email last night, and he replied! Apologizing for the delay and saying he is getting back to everyone individually.  He even then sent me another email this afternoon with a pic of the package from the post office - so whoever was in the same boat, looks like things have hopefully worked out

I just sent Scott ANOTHER email. We'll see if he responds. His inaction and handling of this has ruined my feelings towards his music. This is ridiculous. 

Yup same boat here, getting really frustrated and it's leaving a really bad taste in my mouth. Especially considering I know other people in my city have gotten theirs, and his last response to me in September assured me it was on its way

these prices continue to be insane.... but good lord i might just pull the trigger on the double lp...because i am part of the problem.

Anyone else still waiting for that Lovesliescrushing album?  I still haven't received mine. 

So i emailed him again after realizing it's been 2+ mths since he last told me it's on its way and 1mth since I last reached out to him to no response... i'll post something if I get/hear anything...starting to lose hope here.

Just saw him in Montreal and I cannot stress enough how if you're on the fence about catching one of these shows DO IT.  It may have been the best show I've seen all year surprisingly, great review here - http://exclaim.ca/music/article/hayden-f_d_ration_ukrainienne_montreal_qc_september_24

Did not realize the label Sonic Unyon still existed... been quite some time since I've heard anything come out from them.

yeah they really scaled back on label stuff, but have started up again on that side.  they do a LOT of distro stuff and have their hands in a bunch of things, including this festival called Supercrawl in Hamilton.  Lot of good work there.

new Kestrels lp up for pre-order - http://goo.gl/4A9ZxY

Already posted this in the shoegaze thread, but thought I'd make a separate post.  These dudes are friends of mine, features the main guy from We Need Secrets.  90s indie throwback, sounds like a cross between Dino Jr, Ash, and early Promise Ring.  They just got off of a leg opening for Kindling and played a secret Dino Jr show too!

First 200 lps on Gold w/ purple splatter wax, check out the first track released here:

Wax looks super, and the record is AMAZING.

First track released available here: 

I know a lot of you dug that We Need Secrets record that came out on Saint Marie, this is that guy's main band.

Never heard back from Scott, but my loveliescrushing LP showed up today!  Going to give it a listen this afternoon I think.

OK phew, I've emailed him twice for a download code and tracking info like he said to do and i've never gotten a response, was getting a little worried

At least the interns scribbling his initials didn't accidentally slip up and sign their own names like with the Roger Waters box set:

That intern's signature is way better than the interns signing this

Had to jump on and say thanks for the heads up, I subscribed to this thread just in the hopes someone would send an alert that it was back up.  I was able to grab one last night thanks to hookedonsonics.

 

 

my pleasure! glad you were able to get it!

Great band and super nice people.  The band I play in played with them a year or so ago.  One of the guitarists is in another band that you guys would probably dig too - https://tolust.bandcamp.com/album/lust

Not vinyl, but the band I play in, AIM LOW, just posted a new track.  We're gonna have a 12" EP out soooooooon
