The Official Fat Wreck Preorder Thread
tipyourbartender replied to thebiglebowski's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Just got my shipment of the NOFX 7" of the month records. Noticed "I Love You More Than I Hate You" was heavier than all the others. Somehow they managed to stuff 2 copies in there. Pretty funny. Never had anything like this happen. Not sure what to do with the extra. No jacket or sleeve, just a loose 7". -
This is the album: https://www.discogs.com/Horowitz-Beethoven-Chopin-Debussy-Horowitz-Bizet-Liszt-Rachmaninoff-Scarlatti-Schubert-Schumann-Scri/release/4420286 Super annoying to have to listen to the records this way. Was this a common thing to do? If so, what were they thinking? Really great record though.

Random Vinyl Shipping Rant: Split Seams
tipyourbartender replied to Deathbyart's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
When I sell a record, I take 2-3 minutes or more to carefully pack it because it is usually rare, out of print, and not easily replaceable. I take a lot of effort to make sure the buyer gets it in the same condition it left. Always supply them in a poly sleeve and ship the records outside of the jacket. I understand that the labels and distros we buy new records from don't have the time and resources to spend that much time packing. Some days they might need to ship 100's of records or more and they need to be really quick and efficient. You are lucky to get a piece of bubble wrap thrown in there. If one record out of a thousand gets messed up in transit, it's relatively easy for them to replace or refund. I think some of it might have to do with crappier quality jackets and inner-sleeves. I've noticed that the higher quality materials used on some of my more premium records don't have any seams splits or significant signs of wear. Whereas a lot of the stuff I have released by smaller labels on tighter budgets have more things like seam splits and ring wear. I presume it's because they opted for the cheaper jackets and such. -
Random Vinyl Shipping Rant: Split Seams

Seam splits on the printed inner-sleeves can be even worse. It's really disappointing to open a new record and see that. -

Went in for the wax mage, had one in my cart. By the time I selected media mail, it was sold out. Not quick enough -
Manchester Orchestra Represses

Ha. I did the same thing. For some reason I thought they were doing unlimited black pressings of each album. Sold my color copies a while back. -

Think we might be screwed. Hopefully there will be some more pressings. -
Official Record Store Day Thread

Anyone know where I can find the Buckcherry LP in stock? Sold out everywhere I look. Been waiting forever for this to get pressed, kind of bummed I missed it. -
Also, my family runs a business and we are incorporated. We've got about 10 employees in our office and about 70 spread throughout the country. We don't talk anything like this in emails, over the phone, or in meetings. We talk like normal people. I guess we are that 0.1%? Seriously, if our business was to get a 15% tax rate like Trump is proposing, we would be able to hire a new engineer which we need, pay some employees more, and have cash to invest.

Wow. They are a political party running for president of the united states, not a corporation strategizing about some bullshit . They are talking about eliminating a part of the catholic church because they don't align with their views. You don't have to be religious to see how fucked up that is. It doesn't matter if they are talking about catholics, jews, muslims or mormons. This is America and the government does not get to decide how and why someone practices their faith.

For those arguing about Clinton escalating war with Russia, please read her first speech to Goldman. I had to search Wikileaks myself to find it. She talks openly about getting involved in Syria. Assad and Russia are no joke. They will not back down under any circumstances. She makes this very clear. The US got involved for humanitarian and political reasons. One banker flat out asked her if she thinks it would be smart to align with Russia to stabilize the region once and for all. She barely responded. They don't understand the gravity of the situation they have gotten themselves into over there. Making Iran a powerful country and giving them a path to nuclear weapons was a terrible idea. She admitted in this speech that they will develop the nuclear weapons within a few years no matter what we do and that other countries, like Egypt, will quickly follow. I'm not saying Trump has the answers here, but if she is stupid enough to provoke Russia through Assad, they are not going to just sit there and let it go.

My biggest problem with Trump is that he is extremely insecure. He lies about the most ridiculous shit like having the best memory in the world, or being good enough to be a pro golfer, or that he wasn't sniffling. We all heard it! Maybe his debate mic smells really, really good? Even his pussy grabbing talk is him trying to impress that other douche bag with how rich and popular he thinks he is. I know people who have the exact same personality. He looks like he is genuinely speaking for the people who make up his base. I've disliked and distrusted the government and the media for my entire life and Trump is giving a big fuck you to all of them. I respect the hell out of him for that.
