I got Ages Vol. 1 by Megaran and Of Rot and Ruin by Hath.

Took forever for the site to load and get it done...at 7:48am. CST....

I want this...but I'm not dropping $30 on it.

Me to wife: I'm placing a bandcamp order on Friday. Only to band sites and not label sites.

I put the preorder down on the new Black Dahlia Murder.

Because Everblack is metal like you read about.

Here in this thread...that's w here you read about it.

Man I'm fucking tempted... but concerning the limited aspect of this (closing the entering on march 31st) they have fooled their fans a lot in the past...the dm coffin box that was supposed to be such a collectors item was manifatured cheaply and is now available for 40 bucks on ebay, and so on... but i'm still really tempted.

I was thinking about getting the deluxe boxes in the past weeks... does anyone have these an can report on the pressing quality?

My copy of AJFA is amazing.

ZERO COMPLAINTS.

As for this? $50 for four singles?

Hard pass.

I was given a pair of tix to see them...good lord...forever ago.

The cellist's side project, Bulls, was pretty interesting.

I have one of their albums on CD...good stuff. 

I'm not dropping $40 for a double LP.

I had an album shipped to me from Germany, basically in an envelop marked do not bend.

The cover was a bit bent-y...but the LP i tselve was fine.

[This one is the shyznyte.

Willowtip grab bag:

Ok, fans of the grab bags we have offered keep asking for us to offer vinyl - well here it is.

In this grab bag you are guaranteed to receive at least 3 vinyl 12" LPs with full packaging and 5 loose brand new CDs (these are loose cd's only with no artwork or cases included). Of course you may also get buttons, stickers, who knows what else included as well but nothing more is guaranteed other than 3 vinyl LPs and 5 loose CDs that may come from the distro or Willowtip releases stock. Do not expect to get brand new releases but older releases from the Willowtip catalog or distro items that are overstocked. This is a way for us to clear out some inventory and to get fans some good records at a cheap price.

We have approx 50 of these available and the max you can order is ONE to get different titles.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE ALL YOUR VINYL IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION

There is nothing wrong with this vinyl but some items have been in stock for many many years and may have normal wear. There could be a nicked corner, there could be a slight split in the cover but that would be very rare. There could be limited edition items that have slight corner or cover damage that we have no replacements for thus can't sell new. The majority of the vinyl should be perfect, but we are not accepting returns for a nicked corner or condition issues for these grab bags.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL there are no returns for this item

Includes unlimited streaming of Willowtip Sampler 2018 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

I did this and hope I get no CDs.

Pretty much what I do these days to not drown in records. Also for every record I buy I try at least to sell another one I don't listen to any more, which also made me sell nearly all my multiple versions I ever had. This way I try to keep my collection confined to one Kallax, with emphasis on "try" 😅

I've been shopping Marilyn Manson's Portrait ever since I posted that..... =/

I need to pull some stuff out of the collection too.

I'm just glad that the new Vastum record will come out on 20buck instead of Relapse, so I won't be tempted to buy some stupid bundle with a colostomy bag or other nonsense. Definitely being a bit more discriminating about what I buy for the sake of my bank account. Trying to stay away from new bands as much as possible.

My steps to not getting too crazy:

1. Don't buy bundles. Just buy a record. Also don't buy multiple versions of a single record.

2. Don't be a completist. If I don't to listen to an album all the way through I don't buy them on vinyl. 

3. Buy records for intrinsic value and not for future value.

4. Don't buy Marilyn Manson Portrait of An American Family or Motley Crue ST.

Bought that Dawn Ray'd on dark green even though I'm broke. 

I just bought a record...

Gotta slow down the trolley a bit...it's getting out of hand.

Went with silver on that new Dawn Ray'd.

Welp.

I know what I'm buying next week.

Wait what?! You checked a cd out of the library? Went home and listened to it then have to drive it back and return it? I did not know this was a thing, and I want to know what city you live in where the local library is keeping up with its cd collection of obscure heavy rock. I’m intrigued what era of time you are from and how the past is currently doing? The future says hello. Also I’m completely just messing around.

I dunno if you've noticed...but sometimes LPs don't come with the downloady codies.

And when I'm not certain about an album, I check it out. Here in STL, we have libraries on damned near every corner...stopping by our branch is just taking a different turn...hit Spring Ave instead of Louisiana St....so it's not even out of the way.

Also...do you realize the extreme irony of calling me Captain Yesterday while you're mired in the pinnacle of 1970's tech? 

But seriously, I save a lot of money using my local library. :)

Is anyone really feeling this album? Idk - I’ve given it like 3 tries and I just can’t. Sorry Baroness ultra loyalists.

I'm with you.

I checked out the CD from the library and if I liked it, was gonna order it....

But I'm just going to return it to the library and call it a day.

Wow.

This is stupid.

So.

I saw Coheed and Cambria this Saturday past and realized...

I had not heard this record.

OOPS!

Kold Brv or GTFO!

Kold Brv is kvlt.

I liked Yellow and Green the best of the four.

I still don't have it on LP. :(

How did I miss this Hell / Primitive Man split on Translation Loss? Sold out  

Translation Loss seems to be picking up the slack of the loss of Halo of Flies.

That I can appreciate. The vast majority of their acoustic efforts have just not translated well, unfortunately. 

When you play EMG loaded guitars...

I can't see how it could.

I saw their 'unplugged' edition at the Bridge Benefit year before last. It was sad, bordering on pathetic. How the mighty have fallen.

When I first heard of it...I thought back to seeing The Four Horsemen live acoustic on the Reload tour...and  that kind of colored my idea of the album.

Metallica's still doing loads of great stuff, but this isn't one of them for me, and I love Lulu. Still love that the band takes chances.

I checked out the youtube versions of the tunes...and I couldn't bring myself to even want to want it.

We'll pick one mate because you're acting like both.

Maybe white knight is a better fit for you?

Seriously though kys.

Perhaps, empathetic human being is the term you're searching for.

I guess, when you donate your time and money to protecting women from intimate partner violence, the idea of domestic abuse grows repellent to you.
