Not sure where to post this, but recently I keep getting a notice when I open Chrome that the bandcamp stock extension contains malware and therefore, it's blocked. I was hoping there's a new Extension that does the same thing that folks could recommend?

Btw, any update about this? I think this was promised for early 2022, and I pre-ordered a year ago...

Obligatory 36 post. New album Symmetry Systems. Will ship on the 20th of May. Two editions, metallic silver ($25) and transparent blue ($21). Naturally the more expensive edition is about to sell out first 🙄 https://pitp.bandcamp.com/album/symmetry-systems

Kid A at the HMV at Yonge & Dundas downtown, yes.

Same 😕. Between this and Autophobia by Tennis System, I'm buying 2LP versions of 1LP albums in less than a year of original release... during an era when vinyl production is delayed by around a year.

Pfft, vinyl delayed by only a month in 2022? Count your blessings. I've been waiting for a Sharon Van Etten reissue for Love Record Stores Day UK (4 September, 2011) that was initially delayed until January 2022 that's now "expected April 8th 2022" lmao.

One of those rare times when staring at the Bandcamp homepage and seeing what others are buying tipped me off to something. Expanded Edition 2xLP "features a bonus LP recorded live on a dock in Melbourne. Pressed on clear smoke vinyl." I had to double-dip on this one. https://amylandthesniffers.bandcamp.com/album/comfort-to-me

Great. So I bought the initial release circa six months ago for nothing. Really annoying when bands do this. At least wait a year, or five, or ten.

Bloom and 7 are my top two faves. Really stoked about this album.

Thanks for the updates!

Wait, who was selling the 4LP for $11? Are you sure it wasn't for digital only? And yeah, it seemed as though the Secret History series was supposed to take the place of any reissues of the Expanded Editions... I hope that gets clarified some day.

Finally!!! PAVEMENT Terror Twilight - Farewell Horizontal: Limited Edition 4LP Release Date 08 April 2022 OLE1799LP Matador On April 8th, Matador will release Terror Twilight: Farewell Horizontal, an exhaustive 45-track reissue of the band’s much-loved fifth and final album. The new special edition compiles the remastered original album, B-sides, home demos, rehearsal tapes, era-appropriate live recordings, and even the rough tracks from Pavement’s scrapped session at Sonic Youth’s Echo Canyon studio. Altogether, it features 28 unreleased tracks. Originally released in 1999, Terror Twilight marked a departure from Pavement’s established operating methods. Which is to say that it was recorded with a big-time producer in an expensive studio. However, for all the talk of “polish” and “precision” it’s still very much a Pavement record. And a great one. Like every Pavement album that preceded it, Terror Twilight thrills and confounds. Often at the same time. Twenty-two years on, the songs remain moody, strange, and eminently deserving of re-celebration. The 4xLP and 2xCD editions will include a book with never-before-seen photos and commentary/context from band members Mark Ibold, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Nastanovich, Spiral Stairs, and Steve West as well as producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck).

If you put a semi-colon in between the band name and the album title, you got a pretty nifty one-line poem going

Statement from my LCS (Local Comics Store/Shop) FWIW. I asked to be in queue for the 2nd printing + 7" of Issue #1. The comic book itself has been getting good reviews, btw. Anyway, I hope they compile all the 7"s into an LP down the road, maybe once the trade edition is collected, for everyone who missed out. Would be cool if they did something similar to this, which had an OGN by Jeff Lemire (The Sweet Tooth guy) packaged as a storybook with the LP: https://www.discogs.com/release/9079543-Gord-Downie-Secret-Path

Album #4 Stareside from Billow Observatory (aka Jonas Munk of Manual and Jason Kolb of Auburn Lull) available for pre-order. Blue vinyl limited to 625 copies. You might want to wait for copies to hit distros & online stores like Juno since shipping might be better depending on your location. Ships in March 2022. Then again, if you buy from Azure Vista you usually get some snazzy stickers and even a free CD if you're really lucky. https://billowobservatory.bandcamp.com/album/stareside

This album IMO was a bit over-compressed when it was released. hopefully the remaster fixes some of that.

At this point, I'm waiting for Adam Curtis to make a documentary about this album in about 2030.

I'm honestly pretty disappointed that SS4 is a prequel to SS 3: BFE which was itself a prequel to the series. I guess I was expecting a bigger graphics upgrade/whole new engine upgrade (and heck, maybe some "plot progression"). IMO the series peaked with SS2, its bright colours and alien landscapes.

Yeah the RT notification email was really funny because the pre-scripted message was all apologetic (since I'm sure 99.999% of the time those are sent out regarding delays), and then the actual release date got pushed up a week. I thought RT were being cheeky for a good minute.

Maybes EP gets a solo release on blue vinyl: https://bleep.com/release/19587-mount-kimbie-maybes

The Wrens is the one I need. Bobby Digital I might get only bc I never imagined we'd get a pressing of it. Blue Velvet might be good to grab too. Otherwise I'm good. Might grab the APTBS and Oneohtrix if they're remaindered/discounted. I spent a lot of money last RSD BF. Not this time, luckily.

Yeah, I understand the temptation to bundle these two since the band has always insisted they were twin albums but I think we would have been happy with 3LPs of both, if anything to spread the main albums out onto 2LPs. I'll buy this at the store regardless. I feel as though a lot of anniversary editions for a few years now are always missing a few key extras (whether it be fan fave b-sides; incomplete EPs) and replace them with stuff no one asked for, like modern re-recordings or new mixes of songs on the album that aren't that hugely different than the OG mixes (although I like the album of covers concept).
