Because the "white" bundle is actually black vinyl and vice-versa. It's weird how they listed it.

 

I almost accidentally bought the black cover/white vinyl version when I was checking out.

Son of a mother fuck.

Will now attempt to have them switch my order. Fuck.

Thank you for the clearing that up.

I joined in 2008 when VC/Suburban home was still some sort of label/webstore jobby and Virgil was still someone you would email about your order and Seabron was a person who also worked in the store.  I bought a lot of my first records from that place. What a weird time... online purchases skirted taxation... so much has changed. 

So glad I didn't sleep on this. How did black sell out everywhere before white?

This is awesome news! I had been hoping these would all be released individually since the box came out.

I really wish that this and all Team Sleep material would get pressed or repressed.

This is next level trolling.

 

All we want are vinyl issues, and Tool is making us $2000 Funko Pops.

Best and most succinct summation I've ever seen.

Just press the vinyl, losers.

I paid triple to import a $20 t-shirt cuz they had it on gildan in their Euro store and Bella here. I never used to be that guy until everyone started using Tultex and I couldn't take it anymore. I wear tighter clothes half the time and I think the nipple visibility is much more easy on others eyes with heavy cotton too 😂

I actually really like Tultex also. 😬

5’6” and dealing with about 150-165 depending on how much a get of out the house and drink.

 

Small dude with a funky body type that doesn’t like things clinging to me. Need room to breathe with a solid, tight neck. Comfort Colors have done me perfectly for the last 5 or so years.

 

But yeah, I feels ya with wanting to buy stuff that you won’t wear. I’ve avoided it since I’ve been “that guy” and asking about blanks. Or sizing up, and hoping it’ll fit. I still have an Exile In Guyvile shirt that’s a Large Bella Canvas shirt that I can’t wear because the neck is dumb, even after washing and drying multiple times. I hate drying my shirts.

The struggle is real. It looked there were some EHG shirts that were printed on more slim fit blanks a few years ago but now everything is Gildan and it kills me. I really would like to represent but there's just no way. Maybe I'll grab one soon and see if I can make it work. Its worth a try I suppose but I do have like around 15 or more shirts with cool designs that I just never wear due to the blank brand.

I have the same build as you but the opposite opinion so nevermind haha

LOL!

For the most part, I grew up when shirts felt like shirts and fit. That’s all I want. Trying to “reinvent” that has just caused problems. Hot Topic 1994 Por Vida!

Yeah, and that reinvention is exactly what made shirts better for me. Different strokes for different folks.

I just prefer not to be able to tear my t-shirts like napkins. Gildan heavy cotton 4 life. Maybe it's a body type thing or something causing this preference though, yall fat or skinny? 😅

I'm slender/athletic and I feel like the "reinvented" shirts are really well suited to me. I have a feeling you're right about the body type thing. I don't know about @MyEnemy in terms of body type and I'm not trying to insinuate either but you might just be right.

I really want a bunch of EYEHATEGOD tees but I absolutely can never allow myself to waste money on Gildan shirts that sit in my drawers that I bought because the design was too cool to pass up but I can't wear because of the product its printed on.

I have a Young Widows shirt from a recent run that is on a Gildan "softstyle" or some such that feels much closer to the Bella type style but still has a slight touch of that Gildan rigidity that I hate. I think I'll try to commit to actually wearing it soon and report back.

That’s exactly it. I want to wear a shirt, not an ill fitting bed sheet. 
 

Doesn’t fit, not true to size, loose neck and soft isn’t a commendable quality in shirts. Comfort Colors, LA, Gildan Hammer or nothing. Tired of spending money on shirts I can’t wear.

Oh, I much prefer the soft bed sheet feel. I've never had a problem with the way the fit is though. On 100% cotton V-necks some of those shirts (Bella, American Apparel, Next Level) can get a bit wonky on the collar but other than that those are my perfect fits. The tri-blend collars are actually much sturdier and straighter.

Gildan feels like someone is shoving me into a rigid cardboard t-shirt shaped box that put a spell on me to convince me it was actually cotton shirt material. Makes me want to punch things.

Damn, not stoked on the white vinyl

Same. Its really hindering my pre-order urge. But I figure if I sleep on it, it will just become another edition of this album that will spike in price as soon as you don't see it in stores anymore.

I kind of want to fuck with the super bundle. But I’ll be pissed of those shirts are on Bella Canvas, which I’m guessing they will be, or some other bullshit shirt.

 

Anyways, I’m fucking stoked! Slept on the box set years ago, even though you could find it for retail for a bit. 

That's interesting. I'm usually pissed when shirts are NOT on Bella Canvas. Their easily one of the softest and nicest feeling shirts you can print on. What's your gripe with them? I usually pass on awesome shirts when I find out they're printed on Gildan.

I hope a CODY repress is in the future as well. Just make their way through the catalog. I need more Mogwai, especially older stuff. 

Yes, please. Just a simple, thin, black, well mastered 2xLP in a basic ass gatefold sleeve. Keep it under $35. Can we just has this?

I’ll buy it from you if you want to just order a black. Save the exchange hassle. Let me know. 

That's not a bad idea. I appreciate the offer. Let me see how quickly I can get my hands on a black copy somewhere local.  I'll keep you posted.

So I ordered black and they sent me orange. The OBI strip even says its orange but I didn't notice that before I yanked the shrink off and looked inside to find the orange LP. Dang it. I know it shouldn't matter that much but I'm OCD about my damn black vinyl. I'll probably email them to see if I can exchange it.

I was thinking that Anthony had A LOT of projects in the works with all different bands/solo. This not really surprising. I may grab this Two Dreams compilation.

Got shipping notification from Matador and I ordered my copy about five days ago.

Somebody wake me up when they repress the self-titled album. That shit is pure MySpace/Scene-Hair era GOLD that actually holds up today. Gorgeous album and unparalleled vocals from Johnny Craig. There is no equal for the genre.

I know it doesn’t really matter – especially in context of a QOTSA thread – but on mobile, at least, that album doesn’t come up when searching for “Interpol” in their store.  All their other records do, but not TOBTL.  It will pop up if you search for it by name, or just “Bright Lights”, though. 🤔

No matter what device I use, for some reason that album will not come up if you SEARCH for the band name. But if you click the band name link from another listing of theirs to see all their items, it DOES show up. Yeah, man. I struggled with that when I went to go find it for the first time recently. I was like "there's no way they just don't have the first album on here..." so I clicked the band name and bam. There she was.

Yikes. If it were at least a little bit limited, they have currently more than 2000 left in stock in the european store and more than 8000 in the american store. Like, how are they planning to ever sell all of these? That and the price point make this kind of a bummer, plus I'm just now starting to kind of get a grip on this record.

I feel you. I would just grab a copy from a non-label site or brick and mortar store if you have ones near you. That's what I'm planning on doing. I just can't bring myself to buy it yet based on what I've heard.

Can anyone explain why the kinetic edition costs 40 dollars? I've seen photos of it being a single sleeve, single LP edition with just a one-fold-lyric-sheet. Like, 40 dollars are kind of insane for that or am I missing something? The gold cover looks beautiful, but it should be 30 max.

Seems to be literally just for the gold foil cover. Complete idiocy.

I can't be the only one who is now expecting Vinyl within 6 months or so once this new merchandise line sells out right ?


 

If it were any other band and album, I'd be right there with you. Part of me (pun not intended) really wants to believe its imminent but with this title, all bets are off. If you expect to never see it happen, you'll keep your sanity.
