Our parents had a lot of vinyl. Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, The Pretenders…an Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas Collection… The record player was stacked on top of an amp with impossibly large speakers on the floor layered with dust next to it. I was too young to be trusted with actual operation of the stereo, so I busied myself staring at the album artwork and torturing my cats with the vinyl brush. Soon enough I was DJ of my own Cassette Tape player and shed no tears when the turntable and vinyl collection disappeared from our lives.

Who knew what we were all missing!

Over the years we’ve manufactured small runs of vinyl for our tours and for limited sales online, but today we’re so thrilled to announce that we’ve gone ahead and collected ALL of our albums into one sleek box set! This Business of Art, If It Was You, So Jealous, The Con and Sainthood, plus we’ve included a special record called Home Recordings that includes demos of Fix You Up, Dark Come Soon, the Ocean and more!

This was particularly fun because some of them haven’t been heard publicly before! Just like my parent’s vinyl collection (that really only exists in my memories now…) these demos are audio snapshots of the songs that went on to become very important parts of our musical history. I’m so glad that we’re able to offer them with this really special collection!!

The box artwork is designed by EE STOREY, and pre-orders will also include a special limited edition poster (signed by us) inside as well.

The pre-order starts this Wednesday, July 28. Check back here then for more info and links to buy!

sara

i got a wetsuit and some other random things. all the good sizes go pretty quickly though

hm, looks like i should sell my copy of this business of art to buy this box set =)

also glad that i didn't end up winning If It Was You on ebay a while back

i'll be buying regardless of however much it ends up costing

marathon > polar bear club

and i like polar bear club too.

anyone know where i can pick up a marathon shirt?

yeah, artest was the best laker through the first 3 quarters. good job celts though, cuz i can't say for sure that if they played this game again that they wouldn't have won.

i sure hope so

i don't think VOICEsVOICEs has been mentioned

Yea I got my party pack along with the LP and the 7" today.

The lighter doesnt work tho. It sparks but wont stay lit.

you probably have to put in your own lighter fluid.

yeah, i checked it and it doesn't seem that there has been any lighter fluid added

I think that is the "normal" gray. Mine looks just like that.

I think it looks good and it sounds good to me.

I think he meant "normal" as in a gray copy that has the label lined up correctly

yup. i don't think anyone really would want to trade, but i was just throwing it out there in case anyone was crazy.

i'd call the s1d color "no idea gray"

also, my B side has the label stuck on off center.

i think it looks stupid, but if anyone wants to trade a normal gray copy or VC exclusive and pay for shipping, then i'm all for it

To awake and avenge the dead? Fuck yesssss. Ill take that any day over deadbolt.other than that, I'm really liking that setlist.

ay chuco, whens the next l.a. date?

july 17 @ fox theater in pomona

can't catch the show cuz my brother's getting married

The note made my day, someone feels my pain.

i too hate the 91. i was driving on the 91 and i saw someone with the license plate: H8THE91

I actually saw that person on the freeway on two separate occasions.

this is the coldest beginning of summer/ end of spring here in 50 years

I'll take the large if you wanna part with it when you get it

me too...

i'll let you guys know when i get the M in and see how they fit, fourfourtwo first though since he was first

if anyone's interested.. i got an M and a L in case one doesn't fit properly.. most M's are fine, so i might have an extra sz L.. i kinda got a lil spend-happy on that day

Just fyi, they completely ran out of the tour press last night at Chain. I luckily got one of the last three they had. Their merch dude said they have a box of 70 more in Boston but he wasn't sure if they'd get them for the remaining US tour dates. And it is indeed a 500/500 split between US and Euro tour copies.

yeah i bought one at the beginning of the show even though i had to carry it around just in case they ran out. went back to buy a shirt and possibly another copy and they were out .

sweet. got a black.

Something Corporate Fall Tour Announced!

After a multi-year hiatus, Something Corporate is returning to the road on a multi-city tour! Andrew, Josh, Clutch, and Brian will be hitting 18 cities during an August tour just announced today. Pre-sale tickets are available today at 10AM local time, and general on-sale begins Friday, May 21st and Saturday, May 22nd.

The beauty of this reunion is that we waited until we were ready. There is such a good vibe going between all of us and getting to play these songs again has been a true joy. The festival dates have been a rush, but I think we're all fired up to get back into the clubs and theatres -- where we really cut our teeth for the first time. -- Andrew McMahon

I think the gayness gets taken away from looking at this thread from that picture of Cait at the beach. Am I the only one wondering if the carpets match the drapes? Who's with me?

the first thing i thought was "i want a fisheye"

yeah,

United States Postal Service (USPS) (1 x 2.45lbs) United States Postal Service (USPS)

EXPRESS $34.10

PRIORITY $13.70

PARCEL $10.92

$11 for shipping 2? fuck that noise.

I was going to get another copy for a friend, but If I do order another copy, it's going to be from Deep Elm.

yeah, i was trying to decide what they meant, but they had this at the bottom:

"• This pressing will sell out very quickly. Every copy in stock has been reserved"

but if you reserved it, you should be fine for 48 hrs

"• You have 48 hours to complete your purchase or your reservation will expire"

I'm definitely digging the green a bit more, but I went ahead and grabbed both. I'm proud to be a merch-whore for this band.

i'd have grabbed both (picked up blue), but the email said:

• All Orders: You are limited to One (1) 2xLP Set Per Order…No Exceptions

if you haven't had in-n-out, you should try a double double animal style

if you have a car, a pretty good all you can eat sushi place is sushi mon

an izakaya (best way to describe is japanese tapas) place is ichiza

wynn buffet is expensive but it's really good. go during lunch because dinner is $15 more

*don't* eat at the pink's

freakin frog is a bar with a pretty good selection

i'll be going there tonight

i'll try and pick up some extras depending on the price and how much cash i have
