  1. Few years back a couple of friends and I went to see Low play a charity gig in Duluth around the time of the Drums and Guns release.

    As usual, people were either deeply moved or nodding off.. my friend decided to do both in an elaborate manner.

    Backstory- So.. dude had fallen through a roof landing headfirst on a concrete floor two weeks prior to concert (don't ask how..) and ended up losing his hearing in his right ear. He was pretty concussed and possibly dealing with vertigo at the time or some shit. As standard, a might big bowl was toked before the show. Not the best combo when your shits ll fucked up and you're about to see one of the slowest bands ever.

    Show- We were sitting in the back row enjoying the concert. I think the song was Cue The Strings or something rather soft.. you could hear a pin drop. I look over at (we'll call him:) dude, and he's lookin' pretty cross eyed. He staggers to his feat near the climax of the song and tries to express that he needed to get some air. People start looking around and Al Sparhawk from Low shows distraction. I start saying '' Dude, you ok?'', aparently loud enough for everyone to hear.

    Al stops singing and goes, ''Yeah, dude. Sit down''

    Start feeling pretty embarassed for dude at this point. He suddenly falls over some chairs and hits the ground, effectively disrupting the ending song.

    Long story short, head injury+danks+shoegaze=fall on your face

    i went to see green day/get up kids at the bronco bowl in dallas sometime around the release of the Warning album with 3 other friends from high school.

    we had balcony seats, but easily snuck our way to the floor by borrowing a ticket from someone already down there, and then one by one sharing the same ticket to trick security into letting is down there. shortly there after, we purchased a joint from a guy in the crowd who was selling them for $5 each.

    we gathered around with about 4 other people from the crowd and we all only got maybe 2 or 3 hits each.

    about 20 minutes later one of the three said friends starts exclaiming that he can only see in black and white, and he was continually rolling his eyes in the back of his head and wobbling around barely keeping his balance.

    my high was pretty heavy myself, but nothing like he was describing. we eventually had to unsneak our way out of the pit and back to our seats to sit down.

    talked to the dude that sold us the j after the show and he admits they were all laced with coke and dipped in some kind of chemical (i aint no scientist).

    i saved the roach and smoked it the next day.

    sherm stick!

  2. saw one of those thrice records at vintage vinyl about 6 months ago.

    some kid came walked by, picked it up, and yelled "OH MY GODDD!!!!" and quickly ran to the counter.

    i don't understand the appeal of that band at all.

    I've got a couple friends with stories about pulling awesome stuff out of vintage vinyl.... but i've never once pulled anything good out of there. I guess I've just got bad luck with that joint.

  3. Ha! The plot thickens....

    From ebay:

    Hi,

    We let the seller know the item wasn't as described. The seller offered you a partial refund of $12.00.

    I'm very tempted to just take that and be done with that matter. I can deal with losin 4 bucks.

    It's hilarious that his first offer was 8 bucks and now that I filed a claim he's uping it 12. He must have known the record was broken and was just hoping I wouldn't open it and just throw it on a shelf. Beautiful.

  4. What do I do now? I have honestly never dealt with a bad seller via ebay.

    Here's the in's and out's of the story:

    I paid $16 for the record. It arrived and instead of being in a mailer it was sent to me.... in the most elborate/idiotic way possible. The record itself was placed between two pieces of cardboard and then a metric ton of packing tape was wrapped around the cardboard. From here, the record was then shoved into a big manilla envelope. It took me like 20 minutes to cut through all the tape holding this beast together. Anyway, I pull the record out and the bottom 1/4 of the record is cracked... it's not separated from the rest of the record... it's just sort of flapping around.

    Now here's my issue with the whole deal. The fucking thing was wrapped up super tight in this carboad.... so it didn't appear that it was bent at any time during shipment. Also, the sleeve didn't display any wear whatsoever. This leads me to believe that the evil motherfucker KNEW it was broken before he shipped it.

    I contacted him... courteously.... and was like, how shall we proceed from here. He told me to take a pic and he'd refund me half my money. Is there any way I can get a full refund out of this guy? Should I just be happy with my 8 bucks?

    What do I do from here?

  5. Damn all i need is that Malfeasance 10" and Empires Eternal Void

    just scored a copy of the 10" from ebay, probably my favorite Thou release

    i was watchin that... came close to bidding. hopefully the cover wear isn't to bad. that guy wanted alot for shipping. did you get his copy of tyrant as well?

  6. I'm friends with Brian from Thou, let me see what I can get in town. Most of these things are available here at retail.

    fuck yeah dude! lemme know if you can find any of the "smoke pigs... actualize it" merch. that stuff is soooooo awesome.

  7. hijacking your thread lol

    i could go for a copy of Peasant as well as Empires Eternal Void

    couldn't we all. wtf is empires eternal void!? i haven't even heard that yet hahaha. just saw them for the first time in november. absolutely mind blowing.
