This. I like to think I'm helping to support a great label but it's more like he's doing us a favor.

In the past week I must have listened to that song about 60 times. I can't wait for this record!

Will be buying if the price is reasonable.

So glad the record club is not getting the splatter!

I've got a Kindle 3, and while it is great for ebooks, it is not so hot with the PDFs. I don't even bother putting any PDFs on it. But for formatted ebooks, yeah it's terrific.

Price just jumped $5.

Finally got a cancellation email. Which is good actually, since I had already found what I was looking for elsewhere.

If they do have them on tour, anyone want to snag one for me?

I guess they didn't have the outer jackets ready in time for RSD, so this is how they went out. The store I ordered from said they were getting the outer jackets sometime soon and would ship out my record when they arrived, but I think lots of people bought this not knowing there should be a jacket. Maybe the guys at reckless can (or have) ordered the jackets and can get you one.

Thanks for the heads up. Shot them an email, so we'll see.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the effort! I love how some people here are willing to help out what are really complete strangers. Looks like I'll be trying either 1234 or Graveface's Savannah store (which is now offering up leftovers for mailorder). I'm waiting to hear back from Ryan, but I'd prefer Graveface since I'll be getting some other stuff from him anyway.

Still looking for Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip, but yeah, that is nutty.

Did anyone get an extra of this that can help me out? Thanks.

I'm looking for any and all David Cross records. PM me if you can help. Thanks!

Spencer Krug has made another record under the name Moonface, this time with the help of some new friends. The third product of an ongoing series of changing collaborations and approaches to tune-making is called With Siinai: Heartbreaking Bravery. Surprise, a two-part title. Let's bust in to this brothel one door at a time. With Siinai: Siinai is the Finnish band Krug worked with on this album. They live in Helsinki, a beautiful town of extremes: dark, light, cold, steamy, stoic, drunk. Krug met Siinai when their former band, Joensuu 1685, toured with Wolf Parade throughout Europe in 2009. Friendships were born. Over the following year, Joensuu 1685 went on hiatus, Siinai was formed and Krug unexpectedly received a copy of their first album, Olympic Games. Siinai could safely be described as progressive kraut rock. Their songs are long and heavy, often gorgeous, repetitive, with slow subtle hypnotic changes that bring to mind a single cell splitting into two. Also of key interest to Krug at the time: they had no vocalist. Krug asked if they wanted to make an album together, a collaboration wherein Siinai would perform the meat of the music, and Moonface would take care of the vocals (and ultimately a few licks on the keyboard). Siinai agreed. They started recording their rehearsals and sent the rough ideas formed in their Helsinki jam space to Krug in Montreal. The process continued: Siinai wove the baskets, laid down the coloured straw, while Moonface painted the eggs. In August of 2011, Krug arrived in Finland and the new collaboration started restructuring the demos to fit the vocals, as well as writing new songs from scratch. Big beats boomed. Colours burst. Krug's addiction to melody and pop music met Siinai's love for simplicity and their rare patience for music that slowly evolves, and something somewhere in the middle was created. It was a compromise that everyone enjoyed making. Heartbreaking Bravery: The lyrical theme of this album is heartbreak. According to Krug, it was not planned, but became obvious halfway through the writing process. Some recently battered, still mildly swollen heart snuck its way into the first lyrics written, so he went with it. He wrote songs based on his own experiences with heartache, stories told to him by friends, and drummed up scenarios of ill-fated love that were absolute fiction. Altogether, the inevitability of life's flawed and failed relationships, the shitty feelings we feel as a result, and the people we become (ugly, brave, violent, crawling like babies back toward the womb) while trying to deal with those feelings are the ideas explored in these songs. It is not a particularly original theme, but one Krug felt worth digging into, perhaps deeper than he ever has before. If there is a place that is beautiful only because it's too dark to see whether or not ugliness exists, that's where you'll find these songs and their characters. A place where the cry for unrequited love is rich and silky. Where falling bodies hit the ground in time with the synthesizer's arpeggio, while old men hold out their guitars to disinterested young lovers, so that they might study the dark-red patterns in the grain. A place where Moonface stands on a sidewalk not wanting to go home, not wanting to make his flight, doesn't hail a cab, then picks up his suitcase and walks back into the hotel. (JAG210 released: 04/17/12)" http://jagjaguwar.com/onesheet.php?cat=JAG210 Looks like you can order it now from SC, though I'm not sure if it'll ship now or closer to the release date. http://www.scdistribution.com/cat/scd_catalog.php?usersearch=moonface&site_id=2

I love this band! Been waiting for this pre-order, so thanks. Would definetly have appreciated a Media Mail option though.

PM'd

So...anyone want to give me a summary of what this thread is all about? Can't see myself reading 103 pages, but my curiousity is piqued.

PM'd!

The damaged records weren't the ones on sale: my mistake. This is what I did and found some good deals. I also emailed them after I placed my order and they answered back within minutes (and solved my problem). So far so good!

I'm not sure about packing, but almost all of these are marked as damaged (cover bends or seam splits) already. Just a heads up.
