Super excited for cherry tree. Will probably get the other two eventually.

That will be awesome. I've always wanted a recording of HWM covering true believers; they do a really awesome job with it. I'm sure the souls will do a great job with wayfarer as well.

All of the above.

Anywhere we can listen to this? And are you going to be selling any of the tests?

I came to this thread just to post Inception, but I'm glad to see you've already got it covered.

This. There're a few others I think look pretty good/entertaining, but inception is the only one I'm really excited about.

I would love to see lullaby, cursive, and desaparecidos...not a chance I can make it to this though.

You should convince the band to put "Cat Calls & Ill Means" and maybe some of the tracks from the bonus CD on this press. I'd certainly buy it if you did...

Seriously. If Cat Calls... and Electric Rainbow were on here I'd jump all over it. Patiently waiting would be nice too.

Yup, just got newsletter and ordered. Go!

Also, tracklist:

wayfarer

better sense

rooftops

end of a gun

awesome choices, can't wait to hear this.

If you were serious about that box cutter thing, i wouldn't do it. Maybe I'm just scared, but wait until you have access to at least a power drill, or in the best case, as Justin said, a drill press. Using a box cutter will almost certainly leave a wonky center hole, at best.

Missed it! Bummed, I recorded it, hopefully I have time to watch it before heading out of town...probably won't though.

I probably won't be buying a second copy of this, so my opinion doesn't really matter, but I think a super dark blue marble would look fantastic.

I am also really curious to see the granite, that sounds really nice.

Saw this coming. http://twitter.com/MartinStarr/status/17318756061

SAD :'(

I've been rewatching Freaks and Geeks lately and remembering just how awesome Martin Starr is.

This really isn't surprising considering how few people are familiar with the show after two seasons (I just discovered it a few weeks ago). Given the cast and crew they should have had no problem promoting this show, I don't know what the deal was.

also this quote is great: “Don’t buy music on a format that you can record at home. It becomes disposable.”

I especially like the part after that:

I’m sure he basically meant cassettes suck, but I like to think he predicted the downfall of the cd a decade before they were invented. My dad is awesome.

I really like this album, and I think its release has highlighted how weak New Wave was. I tried going back to that album, which I liked for a bit but tired of... I now only like 2 or 3 songs, and 3 B-sides anymore.

I don't really like the song White Crosses, but the rest of the album is pretty good.

I haven't listened to the album yet, but I heard a live version of White Crosses and didn't really care for it, so this gives me good hope. Thanks!

been almost two weeks...any update?

Var said on the no idea boards that this was sent to the plant as a second press and NI is still waiting on the records

EDIT: this was a few days ago

I watched a few minutes in the middle and it did not grab me. I need to give it a shot from the beginning. Hopefully they re-air it soon, or it's available on demand.

All three seasons are on Netflix instant, if you've got netflix...

There were several people looking for that Foundation LP a while ago. I'll try to remember who if I can.

EDIT: the people that talked to me are long gone.

If this doesn't affect 30 Rock then I just don't care.

I can't stand this show. I really don't know why, but something about it really bugs me.

I'm sorry.

Out of curiosity, how much have you watched? I watched like 1 or 2 episodes in the middle of the first season and didn't really get into it. Then a year or so later I started watching season 1 from the beginning, and realized how fantastic it is. Easily my favorite show on TV right now.

never heard of the band, not into pepsi, but I am very interested to see how this looks after it's been pressed.

I heard this was happening, wasn't sure if it was a rumor or not though. I hope they don't try to continue the show. I definitely still enjoy it, but for the most part it has gone downhill. Although the last few episodes of this last season were pretty great.

EDIT: sounds like they are going to keep it up, we'll see how this goes.

Forget pictures, I want to go to there!

Idea for a record: Get someone to play the same song over and over 500 times and press it on vinyl each time. Each copy is 1/1!

And I think this is a fantastic idea, although 500 is a pretty high number. You may have been joking, I can't tell, but if a guy with a guitar went in and did this I think the results would be awesome. Assuming it was a good song.

It was a great means to an end. Whoever started this created an interesting and lasting style out of nothing, without even knowing it. I'm honestly too young to have been exposed to a ton of stuff like this, but I definitely got plenty of flyers done this way. It's awesome that something so basic and "diy" has made such an impact, considering any stuff you see like that today is a straight throwback to when it was necessary.

Or do you prefer the new fangled computer generated covers?

With these new fangled computers comes the good and the bad. Of course there are some (lots) of terrible photoshop jobs out there, but there's plenty of beautiful design that wouldn't have been to easy 30 years ago.

I love Caution, every song on it is great, but it can't match Fuel... Caution and No Division I think are tied for my second favorite.

Yo! if you pledged any amount on the kickstarter site, i need you to go on there and respond to my address request. shipping is still about a month off, but i want to go ahead and get everything ready for this. DO IT!

If you're not shipping for another month, my address will have probably changed. Should I put my parents' address or can I wait and fill it out when I know more?

Someone needs to jump on that Vermont record. Such a good album.
