I think some folks were just checking cart inventory.  Polyvinyl is definitely known to do variants, Early Bird pre-order colors, etc.  Considering that it's been 23 years since we got a new Hum record, I would speculate that it's being released on Matt's terms and how he sees fit.

 

If a variant popped up anytime soon, I'm sure PV would be very easy to work with.  I've never had to cancel an order with them, but their customer service has always been on-point.  Guess it just depends on how comfortable you are having them hold your $39 hostage.

this isnt on polyvinyl. it is just being distributed by them. probably because of how much of a shit show hassle doing the DIH repress was for him.

Where are y'all seeing that it's limited? I'm as excited as anyone, but I don't wanna be too hasty to jump on $35 lest it hang around for a while/gets another variant.

it is released by Talbott's label and i can guarantee there will be no variants. 180 gram black vinyl will be all this is ever released on.

Sprain gang hype train commence.  Loved their debut EP and patiently waited for this.

EP was sooo good. this new song is awesome, but i hope they kept some slowcore elements. 

OMG

I read it as both statements being sarcasm and the eye roll enforces my reasoning. Sorry for offending you and I hope your day gets better. Although I know life itself probably won't because let's face it, you aren't getting any younger and societal standards aren't changing any time soon to make it easier. Have you tried checking out Reddit? There's a sub for everything there when the loneliness gets unbearable. You might even find a group of people who could help you do that thing you want to do. There are so many ways these days and damn would that sweet release feel great dontcha think? Fuck cleaning up the mess too just let it sit bahaha nobody will notice anyways so I guess thats a perk. Sorry again I hope this helps.

i didnt read any of that because i am assuming you are trying to be funny again, and well, the results of your attempts at that previously speak for themselves. i did however notice you live in florida. i hope you dont wear a mask in public and things will sort themselves out. best of luck in your future endeavors!

If your only two options are THPS censored bootleg soundtrack or 30 Seconds to Mars reissue you're doing something wrong lol.

and if you read his comment as anything but sarcasm and obvious disdain for anyone who would purchase a THPS censored bootleg OR a $35 30 seconds to mars reissue, well my friend, you are quite a dumb ass.

really hope it is getting a wider release. still can't understand how it was so hard to get the RSD version when there were like 4000 of them or something.

Got mine on Sunday. It's /100.

lol, love when mass produced bootlegs number copies as though there are actually 100 of them.

link doesn't lead to the record anymore. did it already get taken down?

fuck this racist band of nerds.

Tennis System Lovesick tests for $40. Not positive where the money is going but they did publicly announced a BLM shirt with all proceeds going to the org, so perhaps money here goes there as well. I’m sure somebody here wants the item regardless so here ya go.

was really close to pulling the trigger on this but 2 things stopped me. 1. there are 40 total test presses (10 of which are available through them today) and 2. shipping is $10. my splatter copy will have to suffice.

i wish more people knew about the daughn gibson album all hell, and less about orville peckerwood and his genre hopping.

is this a 7" like the og or a 12"?

While I definitely want USPS to survive because god forbid mail had to be sent FedEx or UPS, they're certainly not trying to help themselves. Their employees certainly don't seem worried that they're potentially going out of business as they're all still lazy as fuck. Went to drop something off this weekend and the door was locked because "there were too many people inside" so they were "closed" instead of a "hey there's too many people inside so do you mind lining up outside and coming in when someone leaves?" Also, we have a long line inside so instead of helping customers and moving through this line faster, I'm going to stand at the door and unlock/lock it for every person that leaves. I could really tell they needed my money.

I also prepay, but I take stuff in to get scanned since if I don't it takes about a week to reach a distribution center that will actually scan it and I'd like some sort of record that I mailed the package and USPS has it. If one of these other employees did their job and scanned packages they took out of mailboxes, or at one of the closer distribution centers I wouldn't even have to go inside. It's like a competition to see who can be the laziest when it comes to USPS employees.

i can appreciate your perspective while still understanding that two wrongs don't make a right, and that using any anecdotal experiences and extrapolating that across the entire USPS doesn't really make much sense. alas, this topic has been beaten to death, and no one seems to be changing their opinion. so everyone just keep doing you and who cares what i think. i try to live my life under the theme of "do no harm" and it works for me.

appreciate the heads up on how supply chains work, brother. btw, it is single-handedly. you seem to be having some trouble with that, and since you were so nice to explain supply chains, i figured i could do you this solid. have a nice evening.

So the US goverment forces businesses to close, which takes a toll on transportation, I take advantage of a small loop hole saving less than $20 shipping items from my own business which has also been impacted, and I'm the asshole? OK, sound logic my dude ahahaha. When I get to hell for my sins I'll be sure to reflect on this exact message board moral grandstanding knowing that I could've been a living saint who single handily put hundreds of goverment employees into poverty and chose not to. 🙄

your first sentence about the toll on transportation totally lost me. also, i never said you were single-handedly doing anything. we clearly just have different integrity levels. that is fine. you'll sleep well tonight regardless, so i shouldn't have even said anything. thanks for showing me the way.

nothing better than a flagrant asshole. thanks for showing the kind of person you are. you a jimmy eat world fan? you should listen to the song integrity blues. the following lines seem appropriate.

But a fool just wants and wants and wants and wants
It's all what you do when no one is there
It's all what you do when no one cares

Totally by accident haha, I bought a shipping label on PayPal and didn't realize I didn't click 'package'. By the time I noticed I had already taped it on a mailer and figured, "Screw it, if they return it I'll cancel this label and get a new one." They're usually pretty quick about that anyways (weight being off by 1oz lol), like next day rerun. I kept my eye on the tracking and it kept moving lol. Tried it again on purpose and got the same results. I'm sure they'll catch on eventually (it's the federal government after all) but I'm gonna take advantage of it while I can. 

perhaps the optics of taking advantage of a program that is in the news for being on the cusp of being shutdown aren't that great. i have personally been buying stamps and packing materials at my local p.o. because i dont want to lose the service. maybe watch this and see if it makes you feel like you should maybe reconsider your "sticking it to the federal government" mentality.

Thanks to these distribution centers I've been getting away with shipping to the UK paying only mail rates opposed to package rates lol, I guess they're not checking the label type or something, but typically I was paying $12 an item now only $4 including tracking and insurance.

that is really awesome how you figured out a way to cheat the USPS! definite good vibes coming your way.

One of my absolute favorite bands that is consistently hindered by shitty vinyl and mastering (not to mention representation)

Wish they would ditch magic bullet/dark operative and find a label that will give them what they truly deserve.

sadly brent eyestone only cares about getting bands on tv/movies and streaming numbers. dude sucks major ass and is a disservice to his bands when it comes to vinyl.

that's weird about the Tennis System album being on there. Graveface said all 300 copies sold via them and that it was the only way to get a copy.

I had thought it only applied to the releases they post about here:

Most fall under the tags of "Member News" and "Interviews".

 

Wait, is that the cover? Yikes.
