Wonder Years and La Dispute represses can only sustain you for so long.

This. Each listen I find myself going "of wow, maybe this track is my favorite, no wait this one's really good too" but then I hit Required Reading and it's no contest.

I recommend their first LP, they've been sliding downhill since with their 7"s.

Tweeted BWM and RK about TRK tonight for good measure. Looks like BWM is waiting on them to do the LP artwork at this point.

Tour version had a screen printed & numbered insert that just goes in front of the normal cover. Not an actual different cover.

Collision Blonde or a NEW new one? Because Evan Weiss did CB.

Can we talk about how the music video looks like an intro to a CSI: Miami ripoff circa 2003?

Bunch of bundles that add $10+ to cost & shipping for a single LP. Guess I'll wait for it to hit a distro or something. Hopeless and MerchNow can GTFO with their stupid trinkets.

MerchNow really needs to fuck off with these "bundles". 

"Anyone can tell you that being in an instrumental band better mean you are damn good at your instrument and creative enough to compensate for the lack of the vocals. The good news is Recreational Drugs pass with flying colors- which should be of no surprise, given the resume of Matthew Frank (Their/They’re/There, Lifted Bells) and Josh Sparks (Into It. Over It., Former Thieves). Still, in this project they really shine, with movement after movement of contemplative and thoughtful guitar layers and drums that fit together like a puzzle. Recreational Drugs is not a band you just put on in the background to study-on the contrary, Recreational Drugs is a band you stop everything else to study. Think Ghosts and Vodka meets Unwed Sailor."
 
Really excited to finally get to show everyone this. Pre-order goes live on Thursday, record comes out on the 18th. 
 

ordered. dont even need to hear to preview to know i will like it. I love everything Matt's touched, that ive heard anyway.

Now through Monday SideOneDummy is having a Halloween sale with discount code "Boo".
 
Thing is, the discount will be changing at random times throughout the weekend, newsletter says to follow them on twitter to find out when the discounts will be "terrifyingly high."
 
So far today I've seen it go from 22% off to 24% off (as of this posting). Lots of good stuff to be had, get it: sideonedummy.com

Anyone stupid enough to buy this for that deserves to have their money taken away

It was only a matter of time before the twitter antics caught up to them. I'm guessing they don't really care which is a shame. 
This band lost me with Sway. So i'm not terribly bummed to see them go under (potentially). 

*Goes on hiatus a month later*

This. Although I think if you've got to do a bunch of these you could make a spray shield for the records with a piece of cardboard with a label sized hole in the center to apply the spray to the record itself. Maybe put felt on the one side that will touch the record so you can apply some pressure and there's no chance for the spray to get outside of the area you want it. It is quite messy though so you'd have to be extremely meticulous about it and choose an area you don't mind being sticky for awhile because it gets everywhere.
Rubber cement is the easier clean up option, but more labor intensive.

Yup. "Where there's smoke..."
I don't have a pie chart or excel spreadsheet for you, but many members can attest to white vinyl sounding much noisier than not, over the years of listening to records here at VC. There are exceptions, but that's the common principle for anyone who's owned a fair share of white vinyl in the past. Other fun facts that don't necessarily have scientific stats to back them up, but still hold widely true –
• Glow-in-the-dark vinyl typically sounds like balls.
• Pirate Press "haze" variants contain gritty sand residue.
• Clear or black vinyl usually sound the best.
• 180 gram vinyl sounds identical to 140 gram.
• 45-RPM records feature superior sound quality.
