  1. haha You're gonna be F5ing for a while then. If it all comes in on time it will be available around the end of April. poop, gonna be out of town the last weekend in april...will be refreshing the shit out of my touch screen
  2. The Great Blue Heron! Sherman, NY July 6, 7, 8 http://www.greatblueheron.com/gbh_artists.html
  3. Just a heads up, not sure if you know or not but a repress of the Mark Tom and Travis Show is coming in April. Limited to 1000 copies. early, mid, late? this and toypaj are the only two blink records i have any interest in. actually you know what nm, i will be obsessively refreshing the HT site from 4/1 on
  4. not a fan of the carrot cake, but the peanut butter/chocolate chip ones are the jam. when i go camping i just bring a bunch of them.
  5. i'm guessing he pissed off the wrong distro?
  6. why the hell would you leave feedback on an item if you haven't used/played it yet?
  7. okay so apparently my ex is finally filing for divorce, so i'm going to be paying out the nose for that. bye bye new TT for a while. i have a sony USB TT, it's not too bad but it's obviously not great. you think if i upgrade my speakers a bit i'll hear a noticeable difference? i'm using some old as shit philips bookshelf speakers.
  8. one thing that's helped me, besides stopping using my credit card (and paying as much i can a month on it) is to buy everything with cash. i have found it is so much harder for me to buy something when i'm seeing the cash disappear, instead of just that little swipe.
  9. okay that's weird, i was just thinking about this album today and wondering if it ever got pressed.
  10. The black one?? Yea I had the same feeling. haha yeah "it plays alright"
  11. i know there's at least one copy of the S/T 10" in ebay but the guy's description of it doesn't fill me with confidence haha
  12. want to at least wait to make sure all of us who ordered yellow actually got the correct color?
  13. I think the anonymous aspect makes it worse. It's very uncomfortable being in a group when you know someone in that group doesn't like you, especially when you can't pinpoint who that person is. VC is a lot like high school, where the cool mean kids are poopular and I still feel like a nerd. +1 for poopular
  14. i came here for info on records and to buy shit. like how much money can i spend and how fast can i spend it. people are always gonna try to be tough on the internet because it's the only place they can be
  15. just died laughing at snatch flaps but yeah sausage fest was the exact phrase i used to describe VC to a friend today.
  16. this is not a crazy idea at all. I do it, and have always does it. I never sell new records by the variant. I got a lot of limited variants and they go out at random. A few kids love it because they are super stoked to get a limited version when they are just buying the record. I love it that way. However i guarantee that i lose a LOT of business that way. I get emails EVERY SINGLE DAY from kids asking "what color is this record on?", and when i tell them its random, 99% wont place the order. Its why i stil have 1st pressing limited colors sitting on the shelves, when people are paying 30 bucks for it on ebay. but no one will take the chance and pay 10 bucks for a new copy. because they are afraid they wont get the color they want. I know of at least 15 different albums offhand that i could ebay for triple the price i have in the distro, because of the variant. but no one wants the album. they want a specific color/version. ive read lots of posts online where people say "well its cheaper at vinyl junkie, but i dont know if its blue or green". hell ive even got hate mail from kids because i wont disclose or guarantee what variant they will get and who gets the limited versions. personally, i wish everything would go back to random. the record is sealed, and you dont know whats inside until you buy it. Either that or no one releases pressing info. but labels know if it werent for variants they wouldnt sell even HALF as many records as they do now. how many copies of reinventing axl rose do you think would have sold if they only pressed black vinyl? i get wanting a record on a certain color (i'm partial to red as it's my favorite), but i really like the idea of random variants. got the jack white sixteen saltines 7" in the mail the other day, got an extra jolt of excitement because "maybe tri color!" didn't get it, but i'm still happy as shit i got my record...because that's why i ordered it in the first place.
  17. my mom had it done a couple years ago. she was having a lot of trouble with them getting blurry/dried out and they put these little plugs in her tear ducts. she hasn't had any problems since then. but man april 4th is a long time away if you're having trouble seeing. i'd call.
  18. great thread, would read again don't get too excited, i prefer tacos to hot dogs
