eskimoswim got a reaction from Tommy in PO: Mew - Frengers (SRC 2xLP Reissue)
why is waiting to buy this for less in the future through other outlets a ridiculous option? to me, the ridiculous thing is justifying an inflated price because the original and more limited pressing sells for more money on ebay. that doesn't make any sense.

It's like she designed a record that's representative of her fanbase's brain. Awesome.

eskimoswim got a reaction from drds89 in PO: Nadja "Queller" - most accessible drone-gaze
i ordered the white the other day. it was $40 shipped but its easily one of the best Nadja records and the packaging looks great

eskimoswim got a reaction from drds89 in PO: Nadja "Queller" - most accessible drone-gaze
i'd recommend:
Under The Jaguar Sun
Radiance of Shadows
Guilted by the Sun
Skin Turns to Glass
the problem with Nadja is that their discography is in fact so massive that a large percentage of it sounds the same (they've changed this as of late) or just isn't worth listening to. but, that doesn't mean they still aren't capable of putting out really great albums. Queller is proof of that.

I think it comes from the fact that this board, once upon a time was drastically more geared toward punk and independent releases. Over the last several years it became not much more than a place to pick up rehashed major label licenced stuff. Stuff that's incredibly easy to sell. Everyone has a "label" and feels like it's just a lot easier to licence something that was popular at one time and put it out under a different label name. One stop shop type labels. Doesn't look like new bands or punk rock or anything get's represented at all here anymore.
No hate, just an observation, I used to post on here in the first few years until all the Virgil shennanigans started happening, and it ended up being nothing but Hot Topic represses and (no offense) but "nostalgic" pop music. Complete 180 from what the board once was. Probably a lot of OG people still here, that would actually buy new music, and stuff that isn't a sure bet sell. Labels like this are risk free. Step 1. take cd.
Step 2. send cd to get put onto a record and packaged at the plant in one stop shop style
Step 3. Post it on VC at inflated pricing
Profit.
No advertising needed, no need to provide tour support, no need to do band statements, send off for reviews, or getting media coverage etc. I don't think most people consider stuff like ETR as a label, more as a format changing machine. Turn cds into records. Same with SRC. Take cds, put em on a different format=profit.
Most of the hate probably comes from people that have labels that are ran by people with an appreciation for music, as opposed to easy money and less work.
