Honestly, very few of the re-recorded albums we've seen as of late have been what I personally would consider great. I find it hard to buy them, even if it's an OOP release, where I would love to have some version of it to spin. Sonically, it's not what I remember or want. I absolutely get the point of doing it, but they just don't generally hold up to the lightning in a bottle that was the original in most cases.

PO: SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE "Diary" dbl LP, "LP2" re

Agreed. I've seen them twice on this run and they have been fantastic both times. -

I mean, they said they are serious. Someone who isn't serious wouldn't say that. -
Buy $12 Danzig album, get a mystery record instead
mitchard replied to VinylSteals's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm a Danzig fan. You won't get me to spend $12 and risk getting this record. -
Definitely slowed down a bit. Still picked up quite a few things, but nothing like the couple years prior. Rising costs was one factor, another was the fact that my 5x5 Kallax is almost full. Plus I had some other hobbies that took up some of the cash I may have spent on vinyl normally. As far as stuff I got that I was pretty excited about goes, it was the year of long overdue represses. Or stuff coming onto vinyl for the first time. Did manage to snag a few older things I have wanted for years too! Refuse- Demo '89 / All three variants, including the test pressing. Pretty obscure if you aren't a Northwest Hardcore nerd. The band eventually evolved into Undertow. First time on vinyl, or any other format outside of the original home-dubbed demo cassettes. Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight (RSD Repress) NFG - Calalyst (First Pressing... finally) Kimya Dawson - Remember That I Love You (Repress) His Hero is Gone - The Plot Sickens: Enslavement Redefined (1998 Pressing) Sunny Day Real Estate - The Rising Tide (2000 Pressing)

Oh, duh. I was referring to "Phone Lines Down", I honestly don't know how I got the titles mixed up in my head haha.

Absolutely agree. I was kind of bummed this wasn't on the record, since I didn't want to shell out the cash for the 12" single.

That Spiritual Cramp record (and the band in general) is wildly underrated. I saw them open for Militarie Gun last Feb in Seattle and they were so good.

Missed opportunities.

I one day hope to achieve the level of shitposting that is bumping three different threads that haven't been posted in for 14-15 years. Only to post the same thing in all of them. That's some next level shit.

PO: Thursday - War All The Time (20th Anniversary Edition)
mitchard replied to Rip's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Glad I passed on this, despite really, really wanting a copy of this on vinyl. Hopefully the band will eventually figure out the rights to repressing a remastered version themselves, or something. -
I can understand an upcharge on a lathe cut due to the work involved, but $25 is still insane.

Just when I think we've reached the peak of vinyl, a $30 two song 7" drops.

That Rilo Kiley album is FINALLY getting a repress. I'm all for it. -
Record stores Seattle/Vancouver/Portland
mitchard replied to StandupPaul's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'll just echo what everyone has said, pretty much. Seattle: Singles Going Steady and Zion's Gate will be your best bet for metal and hardcore, by far. Singles will be your best bet for local stuff, too. Zion's Gate is indeed a little on the high end price wise, but they have good stuff. Lots of cool bootleg stuff too. Also, check out the Light in the Attic store inside of KEXP. Always some rad gems in there. Portland: 2nd Ave will have the best selection of those genres. Landfill Rescue Unit also had some really cool stuff last time I stopped in. -
PO Now - Jeff Rosenstock - Hellmode - 9-1-2023
mitchard replied to onandonandon's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I was already anticipating this would be the case based on the singles, but this is probably my favorite album of 2023 so far. -
No, you're right. These sound like more polished demos or something. And that style doesn't seem to be lending them any favors. I was excited to hear they were back - I've tried really hard to like both of these songs. There's just something that doesn't hit with me. They sound off. Getting Bruce is pretty cool, though.

Fall Out Boy - We Didn't Start the Fire 7" PO NOw
mitchard replied to roadmonkey's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The best part is that there are a bunch of "updated" versions of this song all over Youtube that do it way better than FOB did. I honestly love the original version of this song. I've had a soft part for it since junior year of high school, when our English teacher had us pick a topic from the song and write an essay on it. I'm pretty sure it was our final. I picked Punk Rock, and proceeded to write a 10 page paper about the mainly the Misfits. Aced it, too. 🤣
