It truly is wild how good Wasting Light was. It really felt like the band found their footing again after three straight so-so albums (One By One is trash, In Your Honor, like every double album, could be pared down to one disc, and Echoes... is too scattershot). If I play Foo Fighters these days, it's either Wasting Light or Colour And The Shape.

Saw the first single on SNL, wasn't really feeling it. Barely listened to Concrete & Gold either, and didn't find a whole lot to love in Sonic Highways. Maybe I just don't like this band anymore? The first three records are still top notch, as is Wasting Light, however.

I didn't listen to SF's covers, but STD's covers sound like Chris playing with a drum machine. How on earth does this cost $14?!? And how did it already sell out?!?!?!?

What's the music sound like? I wasn't super into Josh's most recent band, Jackson Mud, but I'm a longtime Popes fan.

I finally got a shipping notification today too, though it was to my old address — I have emailed them repeatedly and asked to have my address changed, and they were weirdly coy about committing to change it. So now I guess I wait to see if the USPS will properly forward it...

There's ads on here? I've been using Adblock Plus and Ghostery for years and don't see a thing.

There's 10 left now, hmm...

Rough list. At least we're finally getting Welcome Interstate Managers on vinyl!

Hot take: Buddies is literally Frank Turner's best album.

Talk about stepping into a time warp.

Now we just need that gif of that one girl pulling her pants up and this will officially be a OG VC thread.

12/18 was when that mod Jeff (whose screenname was ScriptedRain) went crazy and deleted a whole bunch of shit. I think maybe he even blocked me and other folks? Can't remember now. But I will still NEVER FORGET.

12/18 NEVER FORGET
