Why though? Just don't do it if it annoys you and I'm just as happy either way. It's mean to be fun easter egg if a fulfillment person feels so inclined, not a demand or expectation.

I didn't do it. I wasn't the person pulling and packing most of the time, but I would get phone calls from people who were upset because even though the products were all packed well, nobody drew an elephant with a party hat on the side of the box.

Grabbed an early bird from PV—just gotta have that bonus airhead. Fund fact, for years a friend and I have added "packing notes" to the order asking the order handler to draw a "birthday snake," or "dancing bear" on the mailer and it works about half the time (just for fun). 

I'm into the new single, I think my yearning for another "At Home with Owen" or "Owen EP" is in vain, but this record seems to be in line with his recent progression into more straightforward music and more introspective lyrics. Still here for it!

Do you order your fries extra well done? I used to get so annoyed by that stuff when I worked in mail order.

A Phish thread with an update about a round room that ISN'T the Sphere? Sheesh!

there was one of those at my local HT for YEARS in their clearance section, just getting more and decrepit looking from people touching it and moving it around, edges all worn, corners completely fucked. they probably just threw it away eventually.

This is how I remember HT vinyl at different points. Sitting in crates that were jammed wherever and seeing that they had been handled by people who did not care even a little about being careful with them.

My confirmation email just came through. I ordered yesterday afternoon.

Worth nothing that hello rockview is not included before anyone who shilled out 50 bucks this week for it gets a heart attack.

Hello Rockview is included in the 20% off sale they are having today.

$60 for a single LP in a non-gatefold sleeve plus shipping. Hilarious shit.

But you get that nice bar across the top of the cover!

I jumped so quick on that Pump Up the Valuum variant after missing the Newbury one. Good on Epitaph for printing enough to get these to a point where they are discounted.

Apparently someone got it and Smartpunk shipped it with the record inside the jacket and no shrink so if you have time it might be worth asking them to not do that.

I got mine at Fest, but that's how they all came. My tour variant was the same way.

Very tempted to go to the NYC show:

Thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen anything about it earlier.

This is how weird shit always starts around here...

 

 

At least he didn't go to Craigslist with his copy of Fun House.

I'm curious to see what the album winds up sounding like in comparison to the rest of the album. I remember hearing Rollin and Tumblin ahead of Get Hurt and being a little puzzled. Then hearing he distorted vocals on Stay Vicious only to have them gone from the rest of the album.

I do kind of feel like Brian doing those album playthrough streams helped him reconnect with some of the older stuff and that's why there are some nods back to those songs sprinkled in.

A while back I listened to Brian on Benny's podcast and he was talking about quitting smoking and getting his teeth fixed. I wonder how much that affects the way he sings.

How nice are we talking? I know some people.

My pizza box is still full. I know they had a hard time getting the rights for the ten year tour. Hopefully this means they've had better luck for the 20 year anniversary.

44 songs on the setlist and people still want more.

Had my sister order one of those. I won't keep a variant collection going, but I'll keep a variants with OBI strip collection going.

Anyone else grab one of these before 12 and then wiff at the DKNG poster drop?

In for the fun.

If they're releasing them on certain formats I don't know that it is licensing.

I guess the platinum ticket money wasn't enough to pay for his divorce and holiday plans.

Somehow I don't have this or Haunted Cities. $32 before shipping is crazy, though.

Just checked out their tour dates. Maybe someone from Jakarta can pick some up for us if they aren't selling them at WWWY.

I've begun to cease purchasing based on nostalgia, but I have to commend them for pricing this at $29.99. I would've thought it'd be $39.99 until a year from now when they lower the price to 29.99 but don't count it as "on sale" for their 40% off all sale items.
