Got my Maiden tickets. It was definitely worth joining the fan club, but it was really confusing to figure out how to actually get good seats. For some reason my laptop wasn't allowing me to get my seats, but my phone worked. You always need to have contingency plans when buying tickets. Thanks to @MetalMike for alerting me about the sale.

Need more Tunisian Black Metal in your life? Ayyur has you covered. More of a slow burner. Sentient Ruin Records Vendetta for EU

From the research I've done, I guess that is their main band and Mgla was supposed to be a side project? Definitely gonna need that on vinyl.

I wrote them and they said they're out.

Interesting. For some reason I had never listened to Mgla and now that I am listening, I completely agree with you. Now I gotta find their records in the States.

If it sounds better to you that is all that matters. I love my Marantz. Congrats.

Yeah, then I have to remember to put it on the list. I'm losing it. Anyway, got my Evoken and Devil Master in the mail. Evoken colorway is bleh. Need to spin it tonight. Loving the Devil Master record.

Evidently, when I posted this I had already ordered it earlier in the month. I was baffled when I got my second copy. I have a problem...

Wish I was able to score the clear pink. You should put TGA in the title, because they definitely have that sound. This record is so much more satisfying than Brian Fallon's new album. I'm getting a little tired of him invoking the aura of legends by constantly dropping their names in his lyrics. Any TGA fan would probably dig this Mercy Union album.

I was at an anniversary party for Faction Brewery(Adolescents played) and I was telling my buddy about Kalas and how I got to see them live. I was saying how bummed I was I didn't buy a shirt. I turn around and some dude has a Kalas shirt! WTF? How many people even know who that band is and how many people out of those people actually have a shirt? I have never seen one since that show. That was just straight up crazy weird!

Been reading good things about the new Evoken and was bummed I slept on it. Today I got a shipping notification for it... Do I buy too many records? Yes.

Holy crap that was perfect. Maiden is another shirt that never fails to get comments and nods.

Funny article. I have so many damn band shirts that I have storage boxes under the bed and in the garage along with two long drawers of my dresser. I was wearing my Darkthrone shirt at a tiki event(to gain those rebel points) and it was the start of a conversation with the bartender. We ended up talking about metal and made plans to see a show together in the future. Almost every time I wear that shirt, someone will start randomly talking to me. It still surprises me.

20buckspin taking my money again! New reissue of Mournful Congregation- The Book of Kings Give your money away

I wonder how long they will keep this up for pre-order.

Ulthar up at 20buck. https://www.20buckspin.com/collections/new-items-1/products/ulthar-cosmovore-lp

Bongzilla is going up tomorrow at Totem Cat 8 pm French time, whatever that means. I'm not really that motivated, but there ya go.

Since there is now a cool jazz thread I figured I would start a thread for those who appreciate classic soul, funk and blues. I don't have much blues, but here are some of the soul and funk records I cherish. Sam Cooke, one of my all time favorite singers Graham Central Station- Larry Graham from Sly and the Family Stone started this funky ass band. Any Red Hot Chili Peppers fans need to kneel at the alter of Larry Graham for his slap bass pioneering. James Brown's backing band and super fonky. The Meters!!! Found this for 5 bucks at a record swap and pooped my pants. Rufus Thomas on the STAX VOLT label. If you don't shake your ass while listening to "Funkiest Man Alive" you probably have no ass. Anyone else have soul, funk, or blues favorites?

Sentient Ruin is having a 30% off sale. No code needed. Picked up Atrament - Scum Sect, since I already have all the Abstracter stuff. Here

The one I ordered from Amazon two days back was also red, even though it didn't say that in the description. Don't know how long they will have those, but folks can roll the dice.

Haaaappy Haaaaalloween!

I've heard mixed reviews of the ITCR lathes and I never bought one. All I know is that every one that I have has sounded ridiculously shitty to slightly passable, but I still ask myself why the hell I even bothered buying the damn thing.

And if you go with a lathe, you may as well drop a turd on a brick and spin that. It will sound only slightly better than a usual lathe.

That article was hilarious and sad. Like a bad afterschool special. So glad I never got mixed up in all of that. On a positive note, Devil Master has shipped and I'm stoked. Happy Friday!

Of course, the best variant rears its beautiful green head after I order from Amazon. Derp.
