    You waited 10 years for a vinyl issue why are you in such a hustle to get the record? It'll come when it comes.
     
    Their show in LA was fantastic, the crowd was into it, I was like 5 feet from the stage and they sounded great.

    I cancelled mine and they gave me a hard time as well. I just ended up opening a case with my credit card company. Got the refund in 1 day.

    That title track is the most annoyingly repetitive song they've ever done.  Some of the choruses on the new album get a bit repetitive, but that track grates the hell out of me.

    Not really. Just a bare bones label.

    Hey Nick fans, just came in to let everyone know my record label 'Disfrutar Del Viaje Records' is pressing a ten inch based on the 90's favorite 'Double Dare'. The A side has the intro song original mix, a remix by Globe, AZ band Gorecore Trailer Bits, and an extended mix produced by Kahn "Yay!" West, a local rapper. The B side is the sound of people being slimed for several minutes.....**SPLAT!**; remember that shit?! Isn't your childhood telling you BUYBUYBUY?! Each time the slime sound comes, its in a different octave to make it a unique listening experience. It comes with a hand signed and numbered COA/foreword written by Marc Summers about how unnecessary this is. First run /328 with 7 variants.

    That's just not true. I think most people just don't tend to notice. White can be pretty noisy. The glow in the dark records I've pressed have definitely got some noise.
     
    This guide from Gotta Groove is pretty helpful, I know people have posted it a bunch but here it is again:
     
    SOUND CHARACTERISTICS OF VINYL COLORS*
    (Surface noise 1= quietest / 8 = noisiest)
    1. Standard Black
    4. Transparent Colors (Blue, Green, Clear, Gold [orange], Transparent Red, Coke Clear, Fluorescent Colors)
    6. Non-Mixed Opaque Colors (Pink, Red, Yellow, Violet, Brown)
    7. White
    7. Opaque Mix (Mixing opaque and translucent color(s) in particular; and also tend to have visible “staining” after a few hundred records, which can be seen in certain light).
    7-8. Random Color / Recycled Color Shades
    8. Split Color / Splatter Color / other hand-made colors
    8-10. Glow In The Dark / Glitter Records
    * Every record runs differently, and generally speaking, the louder the recording the less noticeable any “plastic noise” will be.  Turntables also can track color vinyl differently than black — some people report skips on color copies which do not happen on the same record if pressed on black vinyl (typically on lower-end turntables). Some people say the music itself can sound slightly different on color versions vs black versions of the same record (since the grooves are the same, this likely has more to do with the turntable/cartridge being used).
    In any case, there are tons of each of these colors in the marketplace, and many people do not seem to notice/mind the differences.  But, we try to be as up-front as possible in information sharing to help you make the best decision for your project.  If your utmost concern is a very quiet pressing, then you are probably better off pressing black vinyl.  Regardless of color, you can opt to purchase additional stamper sets to have us change them out more frequently — since stampers wear over the course of many pressing cycles, this can help yield a more consistent pressing throughout a production run.  There are also some things that the lacquer cutting engineer can do to help yield a quieter pressing.  Please contact us with any questions.

    When I approached Travis about doing a HT exclusive Aquabats vinyl splatter series, he turned his laptop screen toward me and said "To prove you aren't a VC cop, sell one of the test presses for $100+ on eBay without telling the band." I refused. So, Travis snapped his fingers and his muscle emerged from the shadows and dragged me out. It was a harrowing experience.

    It's kind of funny looking back now,  Ross supporting getting the Something Corporate greatest hits pressing pulled from SRC because they were going to press it without the bands consent...

    Hey Dudes and Ladydudes-
     
    For the first time ever, 2003's Seal Beach is on wax.  Pressed it up ourselves.  DIY or DIE.
     
    Black vinyl, full color printed sleeve inside of a full color printed jacket.  $16 + shipping
    We have 50 signed copies for sale, also for $16, they are going fast.
     
    (but don't worry, we have 950+ regular copies that should be around for a while)
     
    The only way to get to them for the next day or two will be this link:  http://albumleafstore.com/collections/seal-beach
     
    So far we've only sent it out to our email list, and posted it here.  We are facetweetspacing on Monday.  You guys here on these boards have been super supportive on the last few things we've done (forward/return, perils from the sea), so thank you.  We appreciate it.
     
    Also, for anyone who might be a record store owner/buyer/employee, we have set-up a separate password protected distro online store.  Please contact me at [email protected], if you own a store and want to buy at wholesale prices direct from us.
     
    Ok cool.  Vinyl, yeah, so rad that people are supporting it... it's really fucking awesome for us dudes in bands.  Thank you.

    How do we filter out the teases? We don’t let them in.
     
     
    This goes for the guys, too. Because sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man. Because you’re living in *Bleep* City.

    first off, that would never happen because Ross has awful taste.Second off, I buy anything related to wain/showalter/black/Stella/etc if it directly benefits them. If etr released something like that I'd be really bummed and have to rethink my life. But again, no way that would ever happen. He was too busy watching nicktoons and blowing his friend, Matt, or whatever his name is.
