That happens a lot esp if you're a Prime subscriber. Plus the German Amazon tends to price-dip on boxsets quite a lot too.

Did they have these exclusives at their Canadian stores though?

Anything by Japan's electro-punk-gonzo-rock outfit Polysics (incl. represses of the stuff they did release on vinyl (especially the Polysics or Die!!! Vista 2xLP)

Finally made it to the show despite a hiccup (had to basically pay twice for the ticket). Roland Tings was fun: The only hip-hop/rnb played the whole night. Clark went first, played with more keyboard than you'd expect. It was a great overview of all his styles but some people there weren't quite ready for the noisier, darker sounds. Com Truise went next and played less keyboards than you'd expect (These guys are borrowing from each other's process it looks like). Played a lot of new stuff at the beginning and the end, played a lot of classics in the middle of his set. Don't miss out on this show! It's a great pairing, bringing together synthwave purists and older-style IDM fans together. Anyway, bought the (not-that-cheap) split and will play it later tonight.

Damn, after (decent) shipping this comes out to about 68CAD for me. It's a good album, maybe even great (Certainly the singles are some of the best he's ever done), and I love the colour choice but I can't justify that cost. There's a bit of filler (par for the course) too. I'd buy a vinyl edition of Total Devastation, his Greatest Hits in a heartbeat, colour variant or not. Heck, I'd buy an updated 3xLP version since some of his most recent jams are OK.

Don't get me wrong, I love the name. Laughing cause it's fairly clever. But duly noted. I won't miss his set. Is he 100% Roland keyboards only?

Underrated label devoted to 80s and 90s European noise and experimental, leaning heavily on industrial and lo-fi sounds. To say it's not even your average ambient fan's cup of tea would be an understatement, so it's a testament to the label and the niche within a niche within a niche community that they lasted so long. In 2006-7 they released like about a dozen super-eccentric lathes cuts featuring a couple bands associated with the legendary Not Not Fun label out of L.A.... All 8"s. Yes, you read that right. Eight inch records! I got about nine of them.

Yeah there's an opener. For the Toronto show it's someone called Roland Tings () which sounds more synthwave than Clark judging by name alone.

Sweet! Not their best but my personal fave just because "Jumbo" and "King of Snake" made me go out clubbing for the first time.

Mama mia, dat's-a spicy meatball!

Hunh? Do you mean you subscribed for May? There's nothing stopping you from swapping the Morby for whatever for June.

I'm not usually big on 2xLP 45RPMs reissues of 1LPs unless it's something with a lot of subtle, ambient production but since I've prepaid for postage and the record (and got a copy of Tidal) I don't mind. If The Chills goes on sale, when would that happen? I might begrudgingly pay for it but I plan to cancel after this month indefinitely (either they fix their referral system or there's something like DD that I really want)

Hmm, Eddie Gayle or The Chills? Decisions, decisions...

Hmm, I like Woods, and would normally give Morby a shot, but the fact that after two months they still haven't fixed the fact that I can't get any referrals + paying a premium due to being in Canada = me cancelling my subscription after June, and there's stuff I would have purchased had even one referral gone through but when you dangle an incentive in your customers face and then take it away, well, fuck you! So I'm swapping.

Psst! Lookie here! Still taking orders AFAIK. https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/radiohead-ok-computer-coloured/hnum/7032752 EDIT: If it's good enough for SDE to post it, I'm willing to take the gamble.

Hmm, wonder if I could flip my copy of the "Used To Be" 7" for the amount this will cost at the store? They didn't include the 4-Track version of "Apple Orchard" though so maybe I should keep it.

Oh wow, what a nicely designed reading order, too! I think I only read those Hellboy Library Editions and a little bit of the Plague of Frogs BPRD before sort of giving up. I should do that someday myself.

Sweet Tooth is a big commitment (60 issues). I don't blame you! I do think he's at his best when he's writing sci-fi though. Trillium is also brilliant.

Say no more! That and Underwater Welder are my fave of his OGN work (well, nothing touches Essex County but I actually grew up there for a spell so it's a different story for me). Gonna buy the HC when it comes out later in the summer. Can't wait! I own an original page from Sweet Tooth. Lemire's my dude! I'm reading Descender regularly from him. If you haven't checked it out, he did a project with the lead singer of a favourite band here in Canada, The Tragically Hip. It's a great work called Secret Path and it's on YouTube too since it's a government-funded multimedia piece.

Is it like his OGN material? Does it work as single issues? I forget whether this is on my pull-list or not.

Check out America Mystica too (it's kind of like the sister album to this). I don't really follow the band anymore but they're legends in their own niche world. JOMF and a whole bunch of other psyche-rock/folk/noise/drone improv groups (Bardo Pond, Charalambides, Comets On Fire, Yellow Swans) really started my collecting hobby actually.

I'll have to A/B those with the original mix someday. Never bought the 90s comp but the Best of 80s I still own for the early B-Sides, half of which are going to be in the Joshua Tree box set now (Woot!) I'd also kill for vinyl editions of the deluxe reissues of the first three albums from 2008, although it seems like the extras would have to be on 1.5 records (meaning hopefully they could add some more live cuts or demos to avoid pressing 2.5xLP reissues)

I wonder how you'd have dealt with Alan Vega of Suicide whipping a chain at the audience when they opened for Elvis Costello in the 70s. I think we've become colossal pussies if we can't handle a little confrontation at shows by bands who we know have a distinctly "edgy" persona. Like playing with fire and expecting not to be burned. However, in context of these two troll-ish schmucks, your point is more than fair since the seem to do it for the lulz and not to make a point about queer rights.

P.S. I'm surprised to find Pop fans. I listened to it a lot and I like it, but they completed composing half those songs on tour, especially deep cuts like If You Wear That Velvet Dress which sounds complete by the time you watch the Popmart Mexico City concert, which is great (The VHS copy is collecting dust in my parents cubby-hole). I'd love a Pop deluxe edition, especially if that was bundled with it somehow.

I paid 103 euros for my Joshua Tree boxset from Amazon France due to checking SuperDeluxeEdition.com who always lists European Amazon markdowns for expensive collections.
