  1. Fiddler Records has started a deadstock store featuring old tour merch, vinyl, test pressings, and CDs from all eras of it's history. Not a lot of options for shirt sizes, but last chance forever on a lot of these items. Amy from Fiddler also has her book for sale, A Million Miles with the digital version as low as $2.99.

    Name Taken and Recover vinyl test pressings, the first Fiddler release from the Vacant Andys (featuring Chris Carrabba of Dashboard fame)

    Some nifty stuff, thought some people might dig it. Don't miss out:

    Csaw them on this same tour and had a total opposite opinion. to each their own I guess but they kept awkwardly calling out people in the crowd while interrupting songs to preach about homosexuality and really inappropriate stuff. really made for an uncomfortable experience 

    Sounds like you should reflect on yourself, dude. "preaching homosexuality?" I think you mean aggressively being themselves? Genderqueer as fuck and I love it. Especially because they love themselves enough to stand up for who they are.

     

    Their music and lyrics are designed to be confrontational. At the same time, some incredibly tender tunes in the mix.

     

    Their stage banter is amazing. And people need to be called out on their shit when they're wrong. Then it's a learning experience

  3. Surprised nobody has been talking about this band yet, they're amazing.

    Queer alternative punk, super catchy. I've been fortunate enough to see them twice this year, most recently last week with Pity Sex.

    I got the first pressing of their record in February, but it sold out pretty quick. Second press just came out! It's the same color as the last press, but still worth having if you missed it.

    Check out their music:

    Cool story bro.

     

    i really mean it. What an interesting bump to such an old thread. I'm sorry if that sounded sarcastic. Congrats, and I wish you more success going forward!

    Yeah, didn't even realize the thread existed until last night, when I googled the shirt, because I hadn't in a long time. It was a pleasant surprise that this popped up, especially from Scott since I was reading a lot of AP at that time.

    Yup, it was me. I designed this shirt in 2005. I just found the art file and decided to put it up on TeePublic

     

    It was the first t-shirt I designed to sell on our own. I'd been selling seven inches at a show, and made a sign that turned into a shirt. That year, we sold it at Comic Conventions, and during San Diego Comic-Con, a buyer from Hot Topic approached us. I was actually working at a Hot Topic store in our local mall, so I thought that was funny.

     

    He wanted to test it out in certain markets, maybe order 100, or even 700 tops. After SDCC, he got in contact and upped his order to 7000. This was December 2005. Straight up, they ordered way too many way. In 2005, vinyl was still very niche, and they sold it at my store a bit. Nowhere near what vinyl is doing now. I'm amazed anyone could still find it at Hot Topic in 2007, mostly because they marked that shit down after it shipped. We still sold it for a few years until I stopped screen printing.

     

    That was our first and last Hot Topic order. The buyer who ordered it left shortly after the sale. But it started us on a crazy, decade long bout of self-employment and weird projects. It's weird how a dumb shirt idea became a way to pave our own path.

  6. got mine in yesterday (#10/50) and listened to it right away. it sounded really muddy =\ i cleaned it before listening as i always do, but i guess i could give it another go. it sounded ok at the beginning and the end of each side, but the middle sounded like a fuzzy mess.

     

    That might be because it's 33RPM on a 7". Such a great song, but it comes in at six and half minutes. It's certainly long for a 7". Matt's tracks on the b-side at 45RPM are a bit sharper.

  7. If anyone can help me out with an /50 I would love you forever. I had this in my cart while dealing with the ford dealership and in process my phone died... Now it's gone :(

     

    Sorry man. Didn't expect those to sell out in 3 hours. I honestly thought they'd last the whole day.

     

    Maybe I should have charged more, haha. They did take a while to paint. Between Gates, Matt and Overdue, I hand-painted 200 of those tags.

  8. didn't realize Wood/Water went for that much.  last couple copies on ebay were 40-45.  still sucks that they've been sitting on this stock for years.  

     

    also, not sure you can really call it flipping when the record has been out for 13 years.  

     

    Yeah, good point. Wrong choice of words on my part.

     

    We don't know how many they have, but it may be a lot. If they can move the stuff, good for them. I definitely can't afford it, and I wish I could. And I think the band deserves it, honestly. They provided some amazing music that I'll remember for the rest of my days.

     

    But on the "flip" side (I know, my puns are tragic), if they were selling these for even half that price, these would be gone super quickly with a good chunk being resold at a higher price. If you look at it that way, you're basically getting some tote bags and buttons on top of a rare record.

     

    Great deal if you can afford it. Sucks that I can't, but fuck it. Lets go bowling.
