Had a buyer send me a short novel on how to properly package a record in order to avoid seam splits. Makes you want to charge extra for shipping.

For as much as you guys bug Travis you'd think you would get the hang of this by now! New releases almost always go up in waves. It isn't sold out. Relax. Travis has a real job. No freaky outy.

Now it truly is getting to a useless point on this thread.
 
All I want to see is the guy to stop being weasley with his business tactics. If you aren't afraid of being shut down, stop the secret email club bullshit. Don't blacklist people who you don't like. Act like a professional. Make it legit. I just don't want to see another meltdown situation on this board where some guy tries to do too much, gets in way over his head and falls apart with everyone's money in limbo. Some of these lovely people who now dislike me because of my opinion on this thread will buy your stuff regardless of the quality of your business practices. If it takes me annoying the shit out of you to make sure you're a bit more legit about what you do, so be it. I have no interest in buying your records - this isn't personal.

I'm flattered that my opinion on this message board caused you to feel that you needed to defend your honor.
 
It only makes my point.

I'm expressing my opinion on a message board on a thread full of people's opinions. Most of you havent been around for the VC Co-Op, MTS/AFS and ETR screwing over countless members of this community and I'm trying to provide some perspective.
You're right, I have a grudge.

You're my new official stream-of-conciousness. Putting my thoughts together into sentences way better than I can.
 
And Rooks, you're the best buddy.

thanks hot topic marketing bot!

I have no grudge against the guy making bootleg records...I have even bought most of them.
I just think it's silly how crazy folks get about posting info about the releases.

Beautiful shop. I want to buy all of it.

Yet most people on here will defend him as an artist and not a guy taking advantage of a loophole to skim thousands of dollars.

If that were all it is it would be fine, but some on here were pretty shitty to others in defending this guy, who they assume they know so well.

Some people are too insecure in their own art to be wholly original. Not saying that guy is a bad artist, but his instagram strikes me as one of those people who reverts to cliche to avoid criticism of something he genuinely came up with.

Any variant info on Menzingers - Rented World? Lot of stuff I like on your list.
