I can't believe its been 11 years. Agreed about vinyl pricing. I've definitely bought less since prices have gone up but that has also helped me buy things I actually want instead of buying things I only kinda want

I see Ole Sourpuss has finally gotten around to repressing these things

This is a great record. Wonder what the reasoning is for the re-recorded songs

All this time and Tim still hasn't gotten better at the guitar

Shit, this is in DC on my birthday

Can't wait to buy this, listen once and then never again

Wonder if a repress of lucky is on the horizon

Really exciting. I could totally see them doing an NYC show and a Bay Area show too.

Did I read that the regular copy goes on sale next week?

Just listened. Need to listen again. It's slower than their older records

NO MORE SHOPHOUSE? what! That place did so well during lunch time, nooooo, it was my go to spot 3x a week.

Dude, it was usually very busy but Chipotle pulled the plug. They said something like they didn't see how it would expand so they are doing a hamburger or pizza concept. Like there aren't enough of those. Those meatballs were my jam...

ShopHouse no longer exists unfortunately. Amsterdam Falafel is pretty good and there are a few locations around the city. Fare Well on H St is really good. Thai X-ing is an amazing thai place that can do vegetarian dishes. In fact, on sunday they are strictly vegetarian. You might also want to check out Bad Saint. They are one of the best restaurants in the city but you have to wait in line (no reservations).

When looking at music venues & food, don't forget to check out The Pinch and Comet Ping Pong.  

As far as record stores, Songbyrd is decent (and they are a veggie restaurant), Smash records has some good stuff and so does Joint Custody. 

If you're looking for off the beaten path stuff, try checking Atlas Obscura.

I would also recommend Teddy Roosevelt Island. It's pretty amazing.

The article above the song says it can be preordered on the Rad Girlfriend site but it is not there.... 

I mean it CAN be. Just not yet.

No Idea used to have this a while ago. Loved it. Wish they had the time to bring it back

Joyce Manor's side has 5 songs on it thats a total of 40 seconds long

Do they allow local pickup?

s'been awhile

Oh thats fun. I figured he's busy with a bunch of stuff.

Insert "look up Virgil" suggestion here ____________________________________________

I've heard Illegal Pete's is nice

I saw they announced a tour and Jay Bentley is playing and not him. Just curious.

Where did you get this?

Crazy they are doing a color repress of that GR record. The original colored vinyl was in their store forever.

We probably will NOT have vinyl for the shows in February (maybe tapes).  Records are at the plant now (everything is approved) but I don't want to make promises and then not come through.

 

We will definitely have free lyric sheets though!

Welp. Ordered then. 

Will these be available at your shows coming up?

Yeah...yikes. Somewhere in here is a line that isn't super well defined.

 

at first I sort of read it as him saying he recognizes this behavior in himself and is working to eradicate it. Which, kudos I guess. It's part of learning and growing. But the implication is that he's done something ugly someone else is going to have to live with and that...too much.

 

i will freely admit that my reading of this was very much colored by my past experiences with Ian and Adam, which have all been very positive.

I mean...I don't want to believe that he's a bad person. But I don't think I can take the side of a person manipulated and acted in a predatory manner toward women. I feel like being supportive of him and ignoring those that were effected is part of the reason why women are afraid to come forward.
