4th Pressing - 1200 - White & Doublemint Pinwheel

Thanks! Is it the same for that clear splatter STA that came out end of last year?

Curious what that is limited to, the other splatter version from December is still available.

@IanRees?

So now that I called Losing Streak back in March, are we taking bets on a new Hello Rockview reissue for it's 25th anniversary in 2023? Mark your calendars now 😂

Welp, I ended up ordering the pink Silver Linings from a couple places, and glad I did. My Target order now says back ordered, and delayed til Nov 19-26, and my Amazon order doesn't have an estimated delivery day. Placed both of these back in July.

Bullmoose on the other hand shipped yesterday with my Losing Streak and Pink Silver Linings.

Like...not a copy of Losing Streak, but a completely different record?

Yup! Seen three different people now who that happened to.

Seen a few different people also receive the wrong record in their Amazon Losing Streak package. Yikes.

Any word on the fifth variant?

Haven't seen any photos of it yet, but it's red/white butterfly (like the white green one).

Damn. Forgot about it slightly, already gone 5 minutes in without the bundle. Seems like the other 4 variants might just be randomly inserted. I guess I'll find out on Monday? Do I hedge my bets with a second variant?

Was able to confirm this morning, it  is indeed totally random as far as what stores are getting for the other four variants. 

The white green reminds me of a poker chip.

My Amazon package arrived and it was the  white and green version. No hype sticker or anything. I ordered back in September. Mine shipped from Maryland, so may depend on what facility the order originated.

LTJ Just confirmed on a comment on IG, there are 5 variants, 500 each. 500 in their store, and then the rest in other retailers.

Yellow w splatter - Smartpunk/Bullmoose

Black w splatter - Amazon

Tri color - LTJ webstore

??? -

What are the chances it's ENTIRELY random when buying from retailers?

So excited for this. Saw these dudes open for Emery with As Cities Burns. The band smack dab in the middle of this lineup? Gym Class Heroes. Such a strange band for the tour but I loved it.

Wonder if it was 1000 of black with splatter to amazon, 1000 yellow with splatter to indies, and 500 whatever the LTJ store will be.

That would be my guess at this point. Amazon and Target get the black, Indies get the Yellow.

Damn, did she say why she quit?

She announced back in August that she wasn't going on the Hawthorne Heights tour. She announced that she miscarried earlier this year 😔, and that combined with being diabetic on tour, she needed to take care of herself and take a break from tour life .  Though it didn't sound like it was a permanent departure. Maybe that has since changed?

I just ordered a bunch of new books hoping it will make me start reading more than comics again. Got some decent use book deals on ebay.

 

Picked up The Road, Blood Meridian, No Country For Old Men, Chronicle of a Death Fortold, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Silmarillion, The Virgin Suicides, and The Ocean at the En of the Lane. Ran me under $25 shipped, which was nice.

If you haven't read books by Cormac McCarthy before, he has a very distinct writing style. I personally enjoy it. His books are also usually a very quick read for me.

Working through the Epic of Gilgamesh right now. Its really cool to read the world's oldest piece of literature and have it still have meaning and application to modern times. Previous to that, I read The Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston, The Orestia by Aeschylus, and Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. 

 

You guys should download the Goodreads app if you don't have it already! It makes it so easy to keep track of what you've read and what you want to read. I've got really good recommendations through it as well, and you can add your friends to see what they're reading. Basically Discogs but for books. 

I should download the app for that. I used to keep track years ago using Goodread's via the website.

Lately I've been reading books on music. Read In Defense of Ska not too long ago, and now I'm reading Hell of a Hat. Interesting perspective's on the ska scene in both. Also picked up Dave Grohl's book but I've been holding off on starting that one.

I didn't order this from Target, but I did order another record that was on preorder. Apparently preorders on their website will not be charged, but a hold is placed on the card, and that hold expires every 30 days or something like that, so every month I would see a new automated charge via email from CC for target.com and then would never actually see a charge. That record delayed two months. Took a while to realize that's what was going on.

Smartpunk also confirmed this is not an exclusive color to them, in addition to it not actually being their release.

The EP that came out in 2019, Shake Up The Shadows, is pretty good, actually! I agree that the last LP on Rise, Light Em Up, was a dud though.

Never realized they put out an EP, will have to give that a listen.

Looking forward to checking this out!

And it looks like it's using updated artwork from Chris Shary.

2000 copies went to Amazon and record shops, the last 500 will be in the LTJ webstore. I asked JR if it was all one variant or different depending on where you order and he was coy about answering.

Just came across these comps, seems interesting. Looks like it's a series of comps benefitting Punk Rock Saves Lives out of Denver featuring mostly unreleased music or first time on vinyl music. Vol. 2 is a preorder for August 2022. Vol. 1 is already shipping. They're planning on five comps and a limited edition box at some point to house them.

Vol. 2 Pre-Order - Expected to Ship August 2022 - 900 oxblood / 100 oxblood w/ mustard splatter (sold out)

Vol. 1 Now Shipping - 1000 on green

Will try  to remember to update here if/when the next in the series get announced or rest of the track list gets updated.
