Do you think that your bretheren involved in things like robosigning and overvaluing loans in the secondary market should be in prison?

Here is what you are missing. Regardless of the interesting possiblity you made up in your head, she stated that the reason for the unpaid "guests" is that she couldn't afford to pay a horn section to tour with her. Despite raising over $1 million on her kickstarter. Despite having a rich husband.

Best: Nothing. Kickstarter for records sucks. Worst: Every single one of these lazy ass projects. Pay for your own fucking record.

That was supposed to be released in May, 2012. I'm much more excited about the Red Hare record, though.

If you think a band has to justify what it charges for its record to someone on a freaking message board, then I see no merit in a debate. Are there any bands that would do this? Yes... when you get other people to pay for its production with a kickstarter.

Please post cost breakdowns and explain why you think it is OK to make people wait an insane amount of time for a record they paid for.

Have to say that the $5,000 level is tempting, though.

So they went "over budget" and don't want to pay for it? Fuck that.

Video dude may or may not already be booted from OSU: http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/01/look-whos-already-trouble-over-steubenville-rape-case/60621/

God forbid you spend 30 hours on something without making money from it.

Does this have the band's approval?

Looking forward to this record. Sarah Kirsch = best human ever.

I'm going to assume this is a joke post.

Heisel actually got something right here.

Ha. We used that costume last year...

Also, it should be noted that while Third Eye Blind is fucking garbage, they are not nearly as horrific as 311, the worst band on the planet.

Your cohort said you don't do preorders. You do.

From the Enjoy The Ride website front page: "We have three new records available for pre-order today."

If you can't contact the band, don't try to release the record. It's really that simple. I don't care how hard it is to contact the band. See above.

The answer to that is obviously "never."

I was always bummed that the version of the song Bivouac was cut on the LP for time reasons. I remember hearing the CD and being surprised by the extra few minutes. From the sound of this, it will be the same with the new presses.

Well, there's that too.

Something showing that "most" of the Puerto Ricans in the area that you live in are on welfare. Something showing that "most" of the Puerto Ricans in the area that you live in never bothered to learn English. Something showing that "most" of the Puerto Ricans in the area that you live in "ignore the fact that they are in american." Something showing that your city "has bent over backwards" to keep that population alive. Without anything to back this up, your post it just racist ranting. Oh never mind, it is just racist ranting.

Your understanding of the First Amendment is poor, at best. "Free speech" means the government can't restrict speech, it doesn't mean that people don't deserve to get called out / questioned for what they say. Disagree. Being forced to publicly defend their bigotry is a great tool to deal with bigots. This kind of BS is really unproductive. "Online" is just as real as anywhere else. If you are comfortable saying racist shit and think it's funny, you are a racist. The last thing the world needs is people "pretending" to be racist. If you want to piss off idiots, do some heavy reading, then head on over the Stormfront board and argue with them. Yes, they are both different expressions of "racism." Who says racism is only those things you listed? Nice of you to think you can speak to what victims of racism can be offended by. No, we cannot agree on that. Racist jokes are part of an oppressive racist culture that we live in. They are not harmless. Oof. So the "heat" directed at the Puerto Ricans is justified? Also, please back up your BS statements with statistics. Otherwise, I am going to assume they are invalid and simply BS racism. Oh yeah? Like above, please back up this "assumption" with some sort of study.
