  1. No reason to bash the OP. I'm sure all you pretentious collectors have paid too much for something or learned something the hard way.

    This is true, but I'm sure most of us actually "learned the hard way" and didn't claim the seller to be a scammer and tried to get their money refunded through Paypal or by threatening to give the seller negative feedback. I wouldn't have anything negative to say about the OP if he realized he made a mistake and learned from it, instead he is trying to put the fault on someone else instead of himself.

  2. You only have yourself to blame for this one. The fact that you are going to try and claim he is a shifty scammer is a dick move in my opinion. He could have listed it for 1,000.00 if he wanted to and if some moron decides to buy it before doing any research than good for him. Live and learn, don't go punishing someone else for your own stupidity.

  3. Well I never said "I don't listen to shitty bands" and although I do believe my musical taste is far superior than the rest of the humans on this planet, I can see how my original comment may have come off that way. Now I see your deadfromat link and I get what a tradelist is, so I will start working on creating mine thanks.

  4. i've never heard mumford and sons before but watched this video and am going to base my opinion entirely upon it.

    stand up bass. keys, AND a banjo?! edgy! accents. oh snaps they said fuck! HOW NOT MAINSTREAM! the banjo guy looks like he's dry humping that banjo. actually, all of these guys are clearly working off boners over their super hipst cred with their instruments. what is this 3 minute whoaaa ooooohhhh part? was it really that hard to come up with more than one verse? oh that's it? people are fans of this?

    radio indie.

    Phew! Good thing Old Man Markley doesn't have accents because we would have to hate them too. I love Old Man Markley. What's a trade list?

  5. What 18% did you have that was good? I've had the Dogfish Head 18% Raison d'extra which is a dark ale, and honestly, it was terrible. It was way too thick and alcoholic. And this is coming from someone who loves Old Rasputin.

    Surprisingly, the new Guinness that recently came out over here, Foreign Extra I think, is totally delicious.

    Also, Ten Fidy.

    I love the Dogfish Head extreme beers. I don't like the Raison d'Etra all that much but I could drink d'Extra all day... They all (Extra, 120 and World Wide) have a very similar taste but I think that they all rule. If the World Wide Stout is too much for you then you should try the Bitches Brew. It's a really nice middle ground between the Chicory (which falls short imo) and World Wide Stouts.

    Old Rasputin is a bit too carbonated for me... The flavor is there but I need to let it sit. And Ten Fidy rules.

    Bitches Brew is fantastic, Palo Santo and Burton Baton are all fantastic "dark ass beers" from Dogfish. I'm a huge Dogfish fan.

  6. damn, I guess this goes a bit deeper than punching some girl in the face

    It sure sounds that way. Maybe my comment about him having a reputation for being a "cockbag" might hold true for more than just fans (i.e. his own band mates). I know i wouldn't completely bail on a band member after making one bad mistake, but if he continually proved to be an asshole than that would be a different story.

  7. However, 1. the video doesn't show the whole story (is there even proof that he punched the first person instead of trying to disarm her of ice?) and 2. there is a LOT of good that can come out of this in the long run if we all put our hearts in a positive place.

    I don't know what video you saw, but in this one you can clearly see him try full out punch her in the face and he takes a pretty hefty swing.

    And for those saying "did he even hit her or did he miss?" well thats besides the point. He swung at her with the intention of physically harming her and thats what makes him a scumbag. Him making contact or not is irrelivent.

    Not to mention that he started throwing punches at the woman(apparently the club owner) who tried to stop him.

    Also leading up to the show he was making non-stop comments about how bad he didn't want to play the show and bitching about money. Then it also seems like all he did was bitch about it in between songs. I probably would of at least heckled him too to shut up and play, as it seemed people where doing.

    If this guy didn't have a reputaion for being a cockbag then I'd say after a while it should just blow over, he should apologize, and eventually people should just look past it. But...he is an asshole and he deserves everything thats coming to him from this.

    Apparently they took off before the police could arrive to the scene. Sounds like a big fucking coward as well.

  8. Stupid! Why the fuck would they destroy the original tape it was recorded on??? They must be counting on 2012 being the end of the world because why else would you cut the original tape into little pieces and disseminate them to the public unless you knew you were never going to press the album again?

    Am I crazy? Even if they bounced it to a backup tape they'll still have loss, right?

    Unless they did everything in one take, I'm sure they have hours of outtakes. In fact they probably recorded a bunch of audio saying "you are a chump for buying this package" cause you will never know. Just kidding I might of bought it if it wasn't sold out.

  9. Man there are so many whining little cocksuckers on this board. The guy gives a discount code, then tells everyone how he is going to take back the orders from people that ordered 15 so other people can get them and all you bitches can do is give him shit. He didn't need to do any of that.

    For all of you complaining about the shipping cost, I hope your records get CRUSHED in the mail.

    MY WISH CAME TRUE!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    No just kidding. In reality I feel like an ass now for sticking up for this guy because he obviously doesn't know how to conduct a business. Actually he sounds like a huge fucking moron. Anyone who has mailed out records knows you can't mail them out the way he did. What an amatuer.

    I managed to get the 2 packs and I'm thankful that the othere guy is handeling them.

    I think offering a "partial refund on the shipping cost" and thats it, is straight up insulting and moronic. You better do a lot more than that or go into business under another name if you ever want people to buy from you again.

  10. I'll second the Bose comment. In fact I HATE Bose. Bose was an innovator back in the day and made a name for themselves, now Bose simply relies on marketing their name. The average person that does not know much about audio knows at least one kind of speaker....BOSE. Their product is mediocre and overpriced. Sorry for the Bose rant. I worked for a company that sold bose products and I learned to hate Bose because of it.

    Anyway, I haven't done much research on newer consumer speakers but I can definitley make some suggestions on vintage speakers.

    Most polk speakers made in the late 70s and 80s are solid products. They pretty much dominated then. I own a pair of Polk SDA 2as. These things are beasts but they sound amazing. Also the polk Monitor series are great speakers. The Polk Monitor 10s are solid speakers and are fairly easy to come by if you search craigslist and whatnot.

    Im no expert but from what I gathered from reviews and other audiophiles, a lot of people will say that anything new put out by Polk doesn't compare to a lot of the vintage models which is mostly due to the fact that they are now cheaply made and the care put into designing and making the speakers is not what it once was. Quanity over quality. Which can be said about a lot of companies nowadays.

    I'll also second what phil said. Look for how solid they are. One of the things that made vintage speakers great was how they where built like a tank which made for much smoother low tones. Also the multi driver configuration you will want. At the very least a tweeter, 1 mid driver and a sub.

    Anyway sorry for the ramble, good luck

  11. While not chosing sides here, i think you guys are misunderstanding what Brent is saying. He is saying that it adds to the price of the record therefore making it worthless. Meanwhile color variants dont normally add to the price. i could be wrong, i am worthless.

    No I got that. It's mostly the first point he made. Which was:

    Does the box make it sound better? No.

    The same can be said for color variants. Plus if he ever bought a Fat colored vinyl they usually are more expensive.
