also.. last year I ordered a few things from http://www.vintagevinyl.com/ but .. it's not the best. and I don't know if they're doing it this year.. I went with Strictly this year.

I didn't see the tests for sale... were they on there and then gone??

ALL IN..

via metal sucks.. Record Store Day is a-comin’, and with it, the expected plethora of special releases that you will either find incredibly cool or incredibly gimmicky, depending on your point of view. So props to Earache for coming up with such a release that actually manages to stand out from the pack: The World’s Shortest Album, a limited edition 5″ that has thirteen songs on it, but is all of eighty-three seconds long. You shouldn’t even need to ask how that’s possible, but in case you’re either new here or just very dense, the answer is, “grindcore,” a genre for which an eighty-three second run time is basically a double album. Here’s the track listing, via No Clean Singing: Side A: 01. Napalm Death – “You Suffer” (1.9s) 02. Napalm Death – “Dead” (2.7s) 03. Napalm Death – “Your Achievement” (4.2s) 04. Wormrot – “False Grind Sodomy” (2.5s) 05. Wormrot – “You Suffer But Why Is It My Problem” (4.0s) 06. Brutal Truth – “Collateral Damage” (4.0s) 07. Anal Cunt – “Howard Wulkan’s Bald” (4.0s) Side B: 01. Lawnmower Deth – “Be Scene Not Heard” (4.7s) 02. Painkiller – “Trailmarker” (6.0s) 03. Brutal Truth – “Blockhead” (7.3s) 04. Morbid Angel – “Bil Ur-Sag #2 Lava” (6.9s) 05. Anal Cunt – “Windchimes Are Gay” (9.5s) 06. Insect Warfare – “Street Sweeper” (13.5s) So I guess this comp could theoretically lead to a very long discussion regarding why the hell grind bands even record such songs in the first place, but I don’t really feel like having that discussion. Like all Record Store Day releases, it’s really just meant to entice you to visit an actual honest-to-Christ record store, and there are certainly more ignoble aspirations in the world. Below, enjoy a video of The World’s Shortest Album being played in its entirety.

hey .. just a head's up. Talked to Lovitt today, they told me that they did 125 of the yellow ones. /125. that's pretty cool.

since I got home passed 12am I just assumed all April Fool's offerings were null and void! haha. yeah I actually think that Ash Borer thing might happen. rumor has it my friend has a friend that's putting together a show for them in Germany. more on that as it develops. thanks for making me looking like an idiot in a public forum, I appreciate that! haha

are you kidding me?? I go to see Russian Circles and I miss more of that?? wtf... fml

hey guys... I am hoping I can find someone in Memphis to help me out.. I live in NYC and plan on going on line very early to get some stuff so I might be able to trade / pick something up for exchange of getting me something particular in Memphis.. anyone there who can help me out?

but I REALLY REALLY like Icelandic sheepskin..

what is up with this? is that true? not the parka or the alpaca thing but the deluxe version??

For some reason I couldn't find a thread about this LP. http://lovitt.bandcamp.com/album/antietam-afterparty Regents - Antietam Party featuring members of Frodus, Sleepytime Trio, Battery and Jawbox) David NeSmith - Guitar, Vocals Drew Ringo - Guitar, Vocals Jason Hamacher - Drums J Robbins - Bass, Vocals cover artwork by Brian Montouri who did the new Dillinger LP. there are still limited versions of this LP, including /25 /50 /75 check them out. from Dc area and sound like a lot of old Lovitt / Gern stuff.

any word on what the RFC version will be limited to??

I concur

yeah I think so too. they did that for Mountains and a few other LP's recently. I was hoping for something for this one..

I am into this too.. but this isn't limited right? just the bonus CD is.. or am I missing something?

yeah me too.. here's to hoping.

as per Ash Borer's website.. *( http://ash-borer.blogspot.com/2013/03/bloodlands-digital-release-cold-of-ages.html , just in case the link doesn't play or whatever...) Bloodlands Digital Release // Cold of Ages DLP Due to plant-related manufacturing delays of the vinyl, and the unfortunate leaking of our new material, we have chosen to make Bloodlands available digitally through Bandcamp for those that wish to support the band. Available immediately. A limited tour edition of the LP will be available in Europe, along with a cassette edition released by the band in conjunction with Psychic Violence Records. Link to purchase and stream below. <a href="http://ashborer.bandcamp.com/album/bloodlands">Bloodlands by Ash Borer</a> The Cold of Ages DLP, featuring an updated and heavier mix/master than the CD edition, will be available from the band in Europe as well. Pesanta Urfolk will be offering pre-orders to mailing list subscribers, but there will be no public pre-order. Both die hard and standard editions will be available.

does it say that on the site or did you hear that somewhere else?

thanks!! for once I didn't miss it.
