Managed to get a ton of the Fire When Ready / Marathon variants. Looking for #6 and #8 super splatter now, I have a ton of stuff to trade...lots of Austin Lucas on black, Banquets on Black, Such Gold on black and blue, plenty of cards, full trade list going up after the weekend.

Yeah we just got the red ones, but they don't have jackets (thank RJ for that one). Have been trying to get the tour covers printed but time and odds have been against us. If the 7"s came in plastic sleeves (doubt it, but havent seen them myself yet) then we should be able to get some jackets printed this morning before Bled Fest, otherwise we'll have to wait until next week to get them done. I think we'll probably end up putting some online seeing as we wont be doing any extensive touring until July. Things are still a mess as usual around here.

From the sound of Nate's post I thought we were supposed to get a download right away. Anyone wanna email Merchnow about it? Hey, sorry, but I was misinformed on this. The record comes with a download card apparently. Sorry for the confusion. I'm working on finding out when we can release the other song, and I'll ask about refunds as well. Also yeah MerchNow kinda blows, they are pretty tight with Razor & Tie it seems. Haven't ordered anything off there in years, personally. Thanks for all the orders so far everyone!

That's funny because that shirt is available on grey through HT, actually. Trust me when I say I don't really want it in HT anymore than you want to buy it from HT lol.

Just got wind that this was fucking $8, made a call and we're getting it lowered to $6. Both tracks will be on the record and the pre-order comes with an immediate digital download. We wanted to release this as a teaser for the record since we had to push the release back. Buy it, don't buy it, whatever, the new track will be up somewhere soon. Thanks and sorry for the mistake.

Really considering trying this out on my MBP but its almost 6 years old now and just below minimum required specs. Might be able to run still on lowest settings - there's a free demo I'm assuming?

The man liked to drink but I'd have a pretty hard time believing he developed a more serious drug problem.

Saw this 3 min ago, went for a small bundle in medium....sold out, went for large...sold out...opted for a big bundle instead. Were there supposed to be size choices for the small bundle? Thought maybe it was a store error, but it's probably more likely that they sold out right in front of my eyes hahaha. Pumped for this either way.

at least they're trying to help get people their records. for all we know maybe they did it's not up to src to give the explanation of what ever the fuck is going on with rj This.

UGH this is wiggity wack I want one so bad.

Off date on 05/06 and no Western/Upstate NY show before NYC?! Boo and shame.

You know, thinking about it now....does RJ still own Vinyl Collective? Did he ever actually buy it? I remember him saying a while back that he either bought it or was planning on buying it...anybody know?

I don't get it. Wouldn't they have asked for SOME information on what he's doing with all the money and ignoring everyone? How did they even get a hold of him? Something seems off here. I also am very interested to know how that conversation went. I've considered calling RJ and giving him a "WHAT THE FUCK?" but still at least respect the man enough to know he doesn't need me bitching at him.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this in this thread, especially RE, but they have copies of 'Meanderthal' on Black with the original deluxe triple gatefold packaging for $20 on their webstore. Was going to get one of the new colors for $10 but felt obligated to shell out double for the crazy deluxe version. Got the new press of 'Songs For Singles' on Pink as well. Very stoked...absolutely love this band and have been in serious need of their vinyl for quite some time. Here's a link to the deluxe 'Meanderthal' on the RE webstore for anyone that's interested: http://www.roboticempire.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=4213

Just bit the bullet and spent a grand total of $67 on the deluxe LP on Yellow and the standard LP on 180g black. Normally would not spend this much on a single release but god damn I know it's going to rule - have been listening to that new song non-stop tonight...so fucking good. Can't wait for the leak...looked everywhere I could but it hasn't hit the intertubes yet. Keeping my eyes peeled. Going to be one hell of a record I reckon.

Jenna from SRC here! We have the tour copies with no covers. I talked to your management and we are shipping them to you guys tomorrow. I also spoke to RJ today briefly and we are going to work out something with him in the next few days to get these shipped out. We do not have the info on orders beyond what we already shipped. He said he would give it to us. After we shipped the first batch we did not continue fulfilling MTS mail order for obvious reasons. However considering the situation as long as we can work something out with RJ to get the info we will donate our time, boxes etc... and can help out to finish off this release. Amazing! Thanks so much! Very glad I took some more initiative yesterday in trying to resolve this, it has been very frustrating on our end.

Well we saw the picture, so one can only assume they exist, but really who knows? RJ never made the tour covers either so if we do end up getting copies we will have to make them ourselves. I don't have hope at this point that we will ever see the 2nd press so we will likely be licensing it out to a third party or repressing ourselves if we have the money, to make up for all this BS.

It's not their fault but they DEFinitely weren't dragged into working with MTS "unwillingly." MTS was already getting blasted about the delays and excuses when Shopradiocast decided to start running the new Blink repress pre-orders through their store. No sympathy! Haha alright I will give you that one, bad choice of words. Clearly I do not know all the facts. Regardless, I'll keep buying records from them. Thanks for the correction.

Alright so this is Nate from SG here - really starting to get fed up with this whole situation as much as everyone else, as you can imagine. It must be said that RJ/MTS has done an incredible amount for us financially and otherwise, and we will continue to call him our friend, but his business practices the last few months have been appalling. We are still yet to receive ANY of our copies of the Stand Tall re-press, and we are very frustrated that some of our fans have received copies while others are left in the dust with nowhere to turn. We're starting to receive messages ourselves from MTS customers trying to figure out what the hell is going on, and at this point I've been trying to figure out exactly what people can do to try and get their money back. If you made a purchase through Paypal, call them, ask for a supervisor, and explain the situation. They are well aware of the TOYPAJ fiasco and should be able to refund your money. The other option I can recommend is to contact Shopradiocast, as I believe they were handling orders for the 7", if they were ordered through the MTS Webstore. I get their newsletter and apparently they still have copies. If you present them with the evidence that an order was paced and never fulfilled, they might help you. Granted, I'm making these statements and suggestions based on things I have read on this board so take it for what is is. I assure everyone that our manager and I are working as hard as we can to resolve this situation, and we plan to regain control of the masters to get them out of MTS's hands. I would also like to take the time to endorse Shopradiocast, as they are a good company with the best intentions and were dragged unwillingly into this whole mess. Please continue to purchase records from their webstore, as they remain one of the best places on the Internet to purchase vinyl releases. Thank you so much to everyone for understanding, hopefully we will get this mess resolved soon.

Thanks everyone! Keep those pre-orders coming!

I wouldn't be surprised if those were long gone...when the Rochester HC Board comes back I'll ask.

Good luck with these dates dudes! Hope you get them filled up! Nate - Such Gold

I've been working with HTML/CSS and Photoshop for 5+ years with over a year of experience designing Myspace pages. I've finally gotten quite good at it but the work is just not coming in right now. I get at least 5-10 inquiries a month and maybe 1 actually goes through with it. So I am unbelievably broke. So here I am trying to promote my shit. Myspace design is the perfect combination of a simplified traditional website and a gigantic social network. It allows bands, artists, and companies to effortlessly connect with their fans and potential fans. Do you have a band? Are you a solo artist? Do you run a record label, design company or clothing company? Chances are you already have a myspace but we all know the standard scheme is boring as hell. I do this for (what I consider to be) super cheap. Typically takes about 12 - 24 hours to complete a design, at a cost of $150. Anything crazier than one of my typical design (i.e. a project that requires Flash) and the price will go up to $200 or $250 and beyond for larger, more complex projects. Here are some samples of my latest work, and some older stuff: Metal Blade Canada: http://www.myspace.com/metalbladecanada Hoi Polloi / Personal Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/natederby Such Gold (my band): http://www.myspace.com/suchgold Cold Dead Hands (Toronto, ON band): http://www.myspace.com/colddeadhandsmusic Bison B.C: http://www.myspace.com/bisoneastvan I also have a test page for my designs where you can view my latest work for the band Sentinel: http://www.myspace.com/hoipolloitestpage I should also be doing the new Farewell Party Records myspace page soon so look forward to that. (That won't make my ass any money though...) Please help me keep from selling all my vinyl to pay my bills! Please let me design a myspace for you! Contact me via my email ([email protected]) or via myspace (http://www.myspace.com/natederby). Thanks dudes.
