Set an alarm to get up for this pre-order. A nasty storm rolled through and I was out with the Volunteer Fire Dept responding for hours to all sorts of calls. By the time I had the chance to chill and check in on this it was gone. Second press I suppose.

Got the Better Than A Thousand discography. Have yet to spin it but it is a beautiful package - figured I'd post because I'm really damn impressed with what was done here. The zine they created is a bonus. Really well done. 

Didn't Graves have a website called ConservativePunk? He's always been a loser. 

Never hated his voice but his stage presence was so annoying - he moved like a poorly made knockoff muppet. 

Ordered this. I haven't enjoyed the last couple of albums as a whole but I've liked every song dropped for this so far. Looking forward to it.

I'm looking for Lungfish vinyl. 

A lifetime ago I gifted the couple I owned to a friend. I don't regret it, they were in a bad spot and it made them happy. But now I wish I had a couple of their albums to spin. 

I don't have a trade list but can work with anyone if they prefer trades. References available upon request. Help me out. 

Got the Bad Cop lp today. Solid. Nice vinyl. Not sure it is something I need to keep. If anyone has a recent Fat Color release they want to swap 1:1 for this, hit me up. I missed a few things in the past couple of years. Not looking to discuss perceived value - just an easy trade among fans. 

I signed up for Secretly Society for the first time recently to get the Molina release. Did 3 months. At $20/month inclusive of shipping, along with the right to skip a release if you want, it's a really good deal. I'm not a bright eyes fan but a 2xLP shipped as part of this gives me a reason to give a fresh listen to them. 

I guess my point is I'm impressed. Not a fan of subscriptions but this is working. If you want that variant, sign up. Anyone check out that Porridge Radio album? I like the single I heard but have been hesitating to order it. 

Got it. Thanks. 

Curious: I joined Secretly Canadian's - Secretly Society for the first time to get the new Molina album. Do they always have an exclusive Society version? I don't see one on there for Punisher but am wondering if it still might be coming.

Thanks in advance to those that can offer insight. 

I feel old since all the reissues of the past couple of years came out when I was in high school and seeing these bands on the regular. 

Plus, nostalgia is a bitch so I'm buying.

Also, why can't Fat put up a couple things at once instead of one at a time? I'm sure someone here has the answer.

108 - Curse of Instinct Re-release.  

House of Devarishi has 2 variants up:  https://houseofdevarishi.com/collections/pre-order/products/kopie-von-one-sided-war-the-sum-of-days-lp-1

 

REV will have a yellow variant up next week sometime.  

I'll wait for Rev. This is really only two originals if I recall correctly. Love this band but overseas shipping...

That promo video taking the piss out of Turner is pretty terrific. 

Finally got the Drain LP - rock solid album, I imagine the live set is sick.

I also got Restraining Order's  "The World is Too Much" - I dig it, a few of the songs stand out.

I've ended up with a bunch of new HC recently, always nice to visit with my old friend.

Looks like Jersey City is making some progress:

• Departed USPS Regional Destination Facility May 05, 2020, 09:26 AM, JERSEY CITY NJ NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER
• In Transit to Next Facility April 21, 2020, 12:00 AM
• Arrived at USPS Regional Destination Facility April 17, 2020, 03:28 PM, JERSEY CITY NJ NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER

The Jersey City sorting facility seems to have become a black hole. No reports of it being closed but with Covid hitting the state so badly I can only imagine they are severely short handed. If you want a job in a shipping company's sorting facility in NJ - there are a lot of job openings starting at $17/hour. Tells you what's happening. 

A good friend of mine is a Senior Supervisor at a national shipping company's NJ facility. When the outbreak happened they gave no PPE and he was told it was mandatory to come in to work. He got Covid. On his third day in the hospital. 12 hours after coming off the respirator, he was told he had to give up his bed since he was well enough and someone worse off needed it.  They wheeled him into the lobby with no ride home. As he called everyone he knew to get him home, I told him I couldn't do it. Yes, I felt like shit but with a wife, kid, and duty to my community as a volunteer firefighter - I couldn't risk it. I could get his groceries etc but that ride home while still sick was a family matter.  He did alright but it was three hours in the lobby waiting. So, you think those folks making 25% of what does feel good knowing the experience of their supervisor? Probably not. Those jobs aren't filling up on a steady basis too soon. My pal is alright now. Those first few days after the hospital were nasty for him. He's going back to work soon. 

Be well. Stay safe. Stay patient. Be understanding. Stuff in that Jersey City location are likely going to be insurance claims according to one big music distribution company I was in touch with. We'll survive not having a particular record but in the end refunds or replacements will be made when it's all said and done.

Yeah I got the pink from Rev a couple weeks ago. 

Thanks. Just re-checked my tracking and it has been in Jersey City since 4/17. I know there are delays but that's off. I need to work on it. 

Anyway, is the album good? 

Anyone get their Drain pre-order from Rev?

Also, there is a Deathwish 10% off code: axetogrind.   A few years ago I went to spin my Better Than A Thousand lps and they were gone. No recollection of who borrowed them at what point in my life but it had to be a long long time before that. I used to loan out all my LPs. There are a few other examples. Anyway, I grabbed the discography collection. 

Album is really good. Been playing the digital album from the pre-order quite a bit. 

Anyone have a spare Cherry Tree version of I am Easy To Find they'd sell? I'm about to buy it off discogs but figured I'd ask here first. Hit me with a PM.

Thanks. I missed a bunch of recent Fat color releases I'd have liked. I got in on this. My original pressing is still perfecto but all these years later this is anice addition. 

Ha ha. I just found a bag of these from when they first came out. Don't think there is anything too rare in there. Send me a note on what you are looking for and I'll check. 

Anyone have a copy of that Make War LP on color they want to part with? Or an extra? Send me a PM if so. Thank and hope all is well. 

Came here when I got the email to find the first track. That was not for me. 

My dude has a Switch - anyone on here remember me and play either Mario Kart or Splatoon 2? I am also the worlds worst Fortnite player but I am learning it so I can play it with my older nephews in squads. Sucking at the game, but still playing, has proven to get me to coolest Uncle status. I'd swap screen names or account info with old-VC friends by message. 

Also, I'm assuming folks caught the new video dropped via Pitchfork?
