FUCK YEAH!

Edit: Not sure how much I see myself listening to their catalogue anymore, so I really only want EP/Ocean Avenue. Hmm, let's see what these prices are...

A couple months back I bought the Sire reissue of Tim. Today I was browsing around and picked up a pretty cheap (what I believe to be) original pressing. I was just wondering if you guys noticed any sound quality differences between original Replacements presses and the new reissues.

Listening to Vitalogy right now. It just seems like they compressed the shit out of it with this remaster. Anyone else?

Used to love this band when I was about 11. With that being said, I still love most of the songs. "Attitutde", "Movies", "Wish". It's a shame they're known for the MJ cover.

Both Vs. and Vitalogy represses could have sounded better IMO...

Frank Turner's "Fastest Way Back Home" will be mine and my future wife's wedding song.. Because I know she will like it just as much as I do.

I think my only argument with Skrillex doing this as a "moneymaker" is he's been under the Skrillex name for years, when this whole dupstepy trend wasn't anything in North America yet...I think since he left FFTL

From what I remember after he left FFTL he went under "Sonny" which sounded similar to Matt Skiba's Demos album. That didn't really pan out and he restarted as "Skrillex" and tweaked his music. He continued as a band while occasionally djing until 2009 when he went full on with Skrillex.

Ah...whatever

I went to NYC for the first time about a month ago and WISH I got a chance to see this. I've heard but nothing but incredible things. One day, one day.

It took me awhile to realize this thread was started in 2008...

I feel like this should have been released 10 years from now. With that being said, great album, so I hope whoever buys it enjoys it (can't afford this right now).

"Shakedown Street"

- Enjoy Thursday, way smaller crowds than the rest of the days.

- If you want to see stuff in the comedy tent you have to go early that morning to pick up tickets. They are free, but you have to get them early.

- You are going to miss stuff, don't fret

- Bassnectar and STS9 killed at the festival I was at two weeks ago.

- Take Molly.

All of these tips will be noted. Thank you!

Getting ready to leave for Bonnaroo tomorrow with a bunch of my buddies. It's all of our first times going, can't wait! Anyone else going this year?

Great album, would love to have that green vinyl. What's y'allz fav song so far?

I went through a phase when I was about 14 where I would call my station after 11pm (usually) when they had contests and try and win...and I won tons. Lots of tickets to shows I didn't feel like paying for.

I agree with a bunch of you, don't get the hype around this band. I get that they were going for an overblown/loud sound, but I can't figure out why any band would CHOOSE to do that. I'm seeing them at Bonnaroo soon, I guess I'll postpone my ultimate judgement until then.

Jack White does the "overblown/loud sound" all the time and I don't see anyone complaining about that

Jack White also records everything to analog tape. You can't possibly compare his style to what Sleigh Bells are doing.

In about 1994 I went to see a band called Smash Mouth (eventual members of Cursive, not the pop band) at a club called the Cog Factory in Omaha. I bought their cassette when one of the band members came around selling them, it was on a label called Lumberjack records, and it was pretty so-so, but I kept listening to it and started liking it. About 4 years later the tape broke by coming unattached from the wheel on the inside, so I sent it to the address on the cassette with a couple bucks to try to get a new one, fully expecting the label to be no more (as was mailorder before the internet), and to never hear of it again. About a month later, I got a new tape, with a 3 page handwritten letter saying that they apologize for the quality of their cassettes, and then just talking about their favorite bands and stuff I should check out. Lumberjack became Saddle Creek eventually, and I have been ordering from them ever since. Always great sounding, great artwork, and well packaged.

Cool story. Seriously, I love hearing music history bits like this (no sarcasm is intended in this post).

Saw him tonight, great show.

Anyone else pick these up? Just wondering what people think of the sound quality. Maybe its just me, but it sounds like they've compressed the hell out of both albums for no reason at all. Anyone else hear this?

I wanted to to love this album. I really did. But I'm agreeing with a bunch of you in that it's just not that great of an album. It seems like people/blogs/magazines giving attention to the kid are more fascinated with the Tyler/OFWGKTA story and not realizing the possible impact some of his lyrics may begin to have by publicizing them so heavily. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone would speak out against him. This should be interesting...

Not clearance, but I did pick up Modest Mouse "Good News" for 11.99 on my Buffalo excursion. I'm happy.

So many good deals. Oh, how I wish they shipped to Canada

Edit: Shipped at a decent price to Canada. But maybe if I order enough it will be worth it. Hmm, I'll look into it.

Good idea, buy tons of shit

Also that avatar is awesome. Those kids crack me up.

Thanks man, about to get home and watch last weeks episode. Probably my favorite new show this season haha

Never had a bad experience with Suburban Home. Stoked this is finally getting released.

Still <3 you Virg.
