I'll be at both Mogwai and Slow Crush in Boston/Cambridge. I'm surprised that Mogwai show hasn't sold out yet, but then again we're still in a pandemic. I'm kinda bummed Slow Crush is playing at Sonia, which is owned by the Middle East. The owners of that establishment are sketch. Debating going to one of the Mono dates. I've seen them more times than I can count. I should probably go

Fuck, didn’t think to check Indie Merch. I snagged Amazing Old Tree from A Thousand Arms. Had to grab that SOM record too. I’m not bummed

You know I will! I’ve been sleeping on SOM and checked out that new record today! Totally going to pick that one up too! 😊

I wouldn’t doubt it. I was just emphasizing how much I like the record haha.

I’m 100% here for this. If there’s no US distribution I will happily pay the extra $20-25 for shipping from Europe. This album is a masterpiece

Translation Loss is pressing All Else Failed’s - “A Most Bitter Season” Here

I have a feeling they’ll have them for When We Were Young Fest and no one going (myself included) will be able to snag one. I hope I’m wrong on that.

Woah! I’m FROM Boston and I’ve somehow never heard of them. This is sick! Thanks for blowing my mind

I'm in the same boat. I prefer Mount Eerie, but there's definitely Microphones albums I LOVE and some that I'd probably only spin once or twice on here. I'll still never forgive myself for selling that triple LP version of The Glow Pt. 2.

Well I was going to wait until Unsolved got repressed and buy them both together. I think it's going to be a while before Unsolved gets repressed though. HERE ME OUT: Ken Shipley from Numero is on Discogs and has each of the first three test presses in his collection already. There's no test press entry for Unsolved, meaning he probably doesn't have it in hand yet. So I'm guessing it won't be announced until the end of the year, at least. TL;DR: I bought The Bed Is In The Ocean and I'm excited.

Rain - "La Vache Qui Rit" reissue confirmed by Bert Queiroz (from Rain, The Untouchables, Youth Brigade) At around 1:30:00 - 1:37:00 he talks about it (they don't let you rewind on this site. If you need to relisten, you need to refresh your browser and jump ahead again, it's dumb)

holy shit

Ohh ok. Yeah there’s zero photoshopping done on our end. Some people would try to send us photoshopped stuff and we could clearly tell and refused to post them haha. I was using Hootsuite for a little bit but didn’t like it (I’m a control freak and perfectionist 😅) I don’t think Hootsuite will post on your story and that was annoying

The first few days starting out was just me but 99% of it is submission-based. Currently there’s about 850 unposted submissions sent from about 100 people. And another 75-100 from my collection that still needs to be posted. when submitting just make sure you check the link in the bio first

As opposed to on the polybag? I'd prefer it if they were on the direct cover so there's no glare/reflection. One thing I learned from starting this account was that non-adhesive googly eyes are much more common than I thought. In fact, most googly eyes are non-adhesive.

Didn’t see it, I ran a few searches and nothing popped up. Thank you! When starting it, I didn’t realize anyone other than myself would give two shits about it. I thank the old tumblr account Metal Albums With Googly Eyes for the partial inspiration

Shameless plug, but I run an Instagram account called @RecordsWithGooglyEyes and I figured a bunch of you might take interest. We're always looking for more submissions (we have a lot, but will never say no to more). Give it a peep! If you're not familiar, hope you enjoy it! ❤️

I've been hearing rumors floating around that Rain - "La Vache Qui Rit" is getting repressed. Can anyone confirm/deny this? It's legitimately my white whale record, so I'm about to piss my pants if the rumors are true.

Ahh ok. I also tested only 2.5 days after exposure and my asymptomatic friends who gave me it had a much darker line on theirs. I guess mine was so faint because it was so early on. PCR came back positive as I was expecting. In the grand scheme of things, I guess if I am to have covid, omi is the one to get. 😕

I never received a download code, but I just downloaded it on soulseek. I already paid for the record, no use in buying it a second time just for the digital files. I've read that a lot of labels/bands are doing away with download codes since few people seem to redeem them. I don't run a label so I can't attest if that's true, but I definitely use my codes whenever I have them.

Just tested positive for omicron on Wednesday with two home-tests and waiting on the results from my PCR, which is most definitely going to be positive. I think the worst thing about dealing with omicron is having my hand sanitizer fly off the bottle and splash me directly in the eyeball. Also, serious question, does anyone know if the home-tests are sensitive to the overall viral load in your system? For example: the lines on both of my tests were faint, but the two people who I got it from (I'm 100% certain it was them) had dark as fuck lines on their tests.

OP, if you're ever looking to unload some of those records. Let me know, there's a lot in there that are pretty sweet

So pumped on this. Good on them for keeping it affordable too. They could have easily asked $50 for a 3xLP and I'd still buy it without blinking an eye

Edit: Hopefully everyone’s able to get their money back from SRC
