Joey said today on IG that vinyl preorders are "about to drop" which I'm guessing means this week. Very excited for this!

One of my favorite releases of 2023. Indie/synthy/sometimes gazey dreampop FFO Mew, Film School, Helios, Tame Impala, etc.

Excellent tip! Also Smartpunk has 15% off with a new email signup, a little over four bucks off. Stacked it with a few bucks in Shop Cash for a $25.12 total.

Beat repress is up on the Bowery Electric BC page:

I got one a couple months ago and this is a pain most of the time. I haven't figured out the perfect method for how to switch it without it slipping off

A trick I've had luck using when moving it from 45 to 33 (which is the harder of the two) is to start on the left side, insert an extended finger, and roll it slowly around the wheel while also moving it upward. I slip it onto the 33 setting and keep moving my finger right—hard to describe in text. It's a pain for sure but I've had luck with that method. I also turn the table on for ~15 seconds to kind of reset the belt.

Edited w/sold records and lowered prices!

Don't exactly like that they made that a story. Why not send out an email instead?

Offloading some stuff I don't listen to and one damaged vinyl at appropriate prices. Discogs entries are linked in the names. All prices include CONUS shipping (no international, sorry). Happy to provide additional photos/info.

The Killers – Pressure Machine Deluxe Vinyl — $60
This arrived to me with the case damaged,  pic here. One of the record sleeves is coming apart, but the records themselves are unharmed. Can provide more detail upon request.

Death Cab for Cutie – The Photo Album — $38

Deafheaven – Infinite Granite (Neptune blue) — $25 SOLD

Caspian – Waking Season (green marble) — $40

Conor Oberst – Ruminations — $16

Gordi – Reservoir (white/magenta marble) — $12 (or free with any purchase)

what happened with this album? 

Vinyl is still delayed, at least as of some weeks ago. As far as I know, there hasn't been any real update.

Looking for any pressing of Waves (preferably a colored variant) and the green variant of self-titled. Shoot me pics and prices!

Heck yeah! Wonder if they'll have any guest features again. Jerry's solo on Phantom Bride is so good.

Hey everyone, I've got a bunch of download codes that I've been sitting on for too long. Not sure if bots are still an issue (I know some people were claiming that bots were automatically grabbing codes), so just DM me with the code(s) you want.

Julian Lage - Arclight

Wilsen – Ruiner

Miles Davis – Sketches of Spain

Phoebe Bridgers – Punisher

The Japanese House – Swim Against the Tide

The American Scene – Haze

Wilsen – Ruiner

Half Waif – Lavender

Eisley – Currents

Owen – The Avalanche

The 1975 – A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships

Unknown code (might be The Japanese House?)

Got these in today. They were mailed in an LP mailer with no protection whatsoever. Both came in damaged. Really wish labels didn’t use these mailers anymore or would actually pack orders securely. I am getting to the point of not ordering anywhere except places that only use Frustration Free mailers.

That really sucks. My copy wasn't damaged, but I don't think there was any padding/protection in the mailer. Labels need to really be more attentive about this kinda stuff.

I don't know anything about this love records thing either? But I would love a color/limited variant as well! Do you have a link?

I was in line for the tour copy and the guy in front of me grabbed the last one. Had to settle for black. Would be lying if I said I don't think about that often lol. 

You might've dodged a bullet––last time I checked, the consensus was that the tricolor doesn't sound too good.

I'm genuinely curious––what's the fascination with signatures? I get it's a personal touch from the artist, but I'd never seek one out since there's no real reason to. After all, isn't an album itself more personal than a signature could ever be?

Yeah that album is still incredible. Thinking about grabbing Oceana’s Birth.Eater too. 
 

Really only a handful of rise records releases that still hold up. Would love it if they would press Decoder’s self titled or maybe even In:Aviate’s Awake.
 

 

Man, RIP Decoder. Believers is such a good track.

I really wish they'd repress Number[s] too. Love that album, but I'm not gonna pay $160 for it.

They finally broke up that Secret Band - LP 2 Bundle and you can buy all variants separately now!  Just grabbed the /300 and finally got that  Of Machines LP too.  

The OM pressing is surprisingly nice in both color and sound. Can't believe how well that album holds up a decade later.

Got my blue with kind of swirly silver. It's beautiful, especially when held up to the light––looks very coastal in a wood-and-water kind of way. The lyric booklet and print are also really well done and engaging. Secretly knocked it out of the park on this one.

Also, album is great. There's a lot of really unique instrumentation/songwriting, but it's still very much a Phoebe album.

Bump––willing to pay pretty well above retail for this.

Seer Believer LP is streaming on bandcamp: https://seerbeliever.bandcamp.com/releases

Vinyl available as well: http://www.memory-music.net/products/666520-seer-believer-bent

When is Ben going to accept that he's a folk musician? His solo output has always been so hokey. Maybe I'm just bitter that Walla hasn't done any solo stuff in a while.

Had a really cool experience with Fat Possum. I bought two Ellis records from them, one pink and one coke bottle. When they arrived, there was a note in the package saying they were out of the pink so they just sent the white. The other one was wrong as well––they'd sent a plain black instead of the coke bottle. I emailed them about it asking for a refund, but they responded within an hour saying the correct variants were on their way to me and that I could keep the old ones. Sure enough, the replacements were correct (and stunning). It was really refreshing to see a label handle this sort of situation so well, so big big kudos to FP.
