^I really need to get some more Oingo Boingo, I only have Dead Man's Party.

Ordered w/ Banner Pilot.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'll probably pick this up from Suicide Squeeze. I'm not buying from VC again until I get my last order from back in April.

I went to Hot Topic today to pick up their Sundowner exclusive color. I hate going to the mall, so of course once I got there I couldn't leave right away. The store's computers weren't working so I couldn't check out. They said it'd be about 5-10 minutes until they got them back up and running. So I looked around a bit more and was surprised to see they had quite a few VC releases...in the clearance area. Finally I ended up having to go to the ATM to get cash because their computers still weren't up after like a half hour. They rung me up without their computers and overcharged me a little, but I was just glad to get the hell out of there at that point that I didn't care.

Sundowner - We Chase The Waves (opaque orange)

Mike Hale - Lives Like Mine

Joey Cape - Bridge

How did the flippers end up with all the good copies of clear blue w/ black smoke. Mine hardly has any smoke at all... it's pretty much dark clear blue. Fuck.

That shirt is horrible. The extra 7" would be nice, but I really only want that and the other 7" + LP. Like others, I can't really justify paying $31 extra for a 7".

where the fuck are all these colored copies coming from?! all i see on asian man's site is black.

They started POs like 2 months in advance. Asain Man had a bundle w/ two colors, Interpunk had one, Shopradiocast had one, and Hot Topic has one. There's also one from a distributor that you can find at record stores or Shopradiocast has it as well.

So there's six colors and then black. 4 of them were PO, and 2 are still out there in stores.

I know what you mean... every time I think I know what's going on, another color seemingly comes out of nowhere. they're sneaky, damnit!

emailed mike from asian man, and it looks like the opaque/marble orange is the hot topic exclusive. supposedly there aren't any others out there... *fingers crossed*

That's a relief. Still have to hop over to my Hot Topic and see if they have it in.

Are there going to be any special Ohio Pride editions for the new releases?

For Only Thunder/Esprit De Corps 7inch yes and its awesome for Sister Kisser at this point no but I might have him cook something up later on.

Good news! Will most definitely be picking up the 7" then.

Got this in the mail today! Pretty nice PO bundle for a change.

Outrageous Cherry - Outrageous Cherry (clear w/ white) (w/ logo cut out /100)

Outrageous Cherry - Outrageous Cherry Test Pressing (clear w/ white & black)

5 Outrageous Cherry coasters made from rejected or damaged records

2 sheets of record labels

Went ahead and ordered this on green along with OWTH Trying to Breathe 7" on red. Christmas is coming early this year I guess.

I ordered from Fat once and placed one order for media mail and the other for priority mail, and they both showed up on the same day. It's weird how that happens.

^^ A transition orange copy??? Lucky.

I'm happy with the bundle colors I got, and the shirt looks better than what I thought it would look like.

Ugh... I'll probably be getting this. I share the sentiment that their last three albums have been lackluster at best. Although I will say that Red was a step up from Make Believe. Raditude fell back a few steps though. Here's hoping that the new Weezer doesn't disappoint... again.

Why does it seem like the best demos get left on the cutting room floor? I wish that a lot of the Maladroit demos/ Album 5 demos had made it onto actual albums. Just saying...

Gotta catch 'em all! Sundowner!

But seriously, what's up with the opaque orange/ marble orange? I thought I only had the Hot Topic orange w/ blue and then good old black left to go. Ahhhhhh...

These greeted me when I got back from vacation today. At first I thought I had green copies because I opened them in my dimly lit basement and the bright pink made them seem to be...well green. But after I took some photos of them with the flash on they turned out to be more grey. Bummer, I thought I got something different than most people. No original covers, and only the Moments Pass had an insert.

And yes on the red/ brown ink for Moonpies.

Also, I got a free Pung 6"...so that's pretty cool.

Hey dude, thank you so much for throwing that extra special goody in with my order! I was not expecting anything quite like that. I must say that I&L/ SK split sounds 10x more amazing on vinyl than it does on my computer.

Stoked for the new releases too!

Dead Broke Rekerds has the Beatnik Termites LP on sale for $5 if anyone's interested...

I found these numbers in another thread, I'm assuming ILC is the retail stores /500 on clear blue?

Alright, thanks. I'm not as worried now. Interpunk still hasn't sold out of their exclusives yet, and they have less than that.

I feel like the sundowner one sold out somewhat quickly (a couple of days to a week?), and the matt skiba one just sold out in the past few days... granted, they were 2 or 3 times as rare, but they were also all in one place as opposed to dispersed to however many hot topics there are... I have a feeling the employees at MOA are going to get tired of me calling them once these hit stores.

Interpunk still has theirs listed on the their front page. But good point about these being dispersed all over as opposed to one place.

If a few are going up online I might be able to order one that way. If not there's always the chance that my Hot Topic will have it.

*Edit* NVM, those are just the standard now. They must have sold out after sending out their newsletter today.

I believe Skiba is /530 and Sundowner is /450.

Alright, thanks. I'm not as worried now. Interpunk still hasn't sold out of their exclusives yet, and they have less than that.

How many are the Hot Topic exclusives out of for Skiba/ Sundowner?

I'll be on vacation on the street date and I don't want to miss out.
