Anyone get this yet?

Name in the hat?

Q: Who the hell is Paul Smith? A: A brilliant, cutting edge artist who designs red vinylz.

Just listened to this and it is really good. Bought a black copy. I wish IVWT was still doing the distro gig, I could always count on them.

Punch Drunk Love is one of my favorite movies, but that poster does nothing to capture the feeling of the movie. It would have been cooler if they just showed the piano and a package of pudding on top of it. I think these Mondo releases are just beginning to bore me, which is good because I have no more wallspace.

I listened to my Hank Mobley box set by Mosaic and couldn't believe everything I was hearing. This was the best purchase I have made in a long time. It scares me that I have dipped my toes into the audiophile world though. I can never even want a $5,000 and up turntable, unless I win powerball tonight. Gotta get a ticket!

I don't know if this is some sort of troll post, but if you know you can get one from ebay, why not search there? You might also try needle doctor and send them the picture. I've never seen a needle like that.

Stayed home today from work in anticipation of my Carbon. Got it set up pretty quickly and then it wouldn't start. WTF! Then I watched a youtube video to find out the power switch is underneath the left side. It didn't mention this is the directions and I didn't see it. I first listened to the new Nick Cave on my old Numark TT-2, then on my Carbon. They sounded pretty close, that album is pretty clean and crisp. Then I put on TGA "Handwritten" and I was blown away! I could hear nuances in the vocals that couldn't be heard before, the highs were more crisp, and the bass had a fuller sound. I still feel like my TT-2 is pretty decent, but this Carbon is a giant step up. Thanks to everyone who has posted tips/advice, I am pretty damn happy right about now.

Yeah, this kid was a bit spacey and academically low, so when I read his poems, they floored me. I wish I could steal, "Water from God biting water forever." I don't know what it means, but it sounds cool. Kids are a lot deeper than most people think. Just have to give them the space and encouragement to let it out. Yes, a public school in a high poverty area in Northern California. I get them for 3rd and our school gets to keep them for the 6th, then it's off to middle school aka hell.

Now that state testing if over, we are finally back on the poetry track. The kids are busy writing right now and I am excited to see what comes out this year. Here are some more that my students have written over the last 12 years. Once again, these were all written by 3rd graders and it is all their writing, not mine. The Season of the Waterfall The waterfall is an ocean As a season on the Earth You say you make a sky in The ocean You are foolish to me not to you The problem is Now you do not know how To swim in the waterfall. - Angie, age 8 My Hands My hands are Brown The palm is white But don’t call Me black because my Skin color is Brown. If you call me black I Will hit you in your mouth with My brown right hand. -Parish When We Die I am one I am two I am three And living all My years until God calls me To heaven. Where we Are going Is going To be A better Place no More crying Stealing and No more Shooting. And ‘til God calls Me up I will Be still On this Wicked earth. - Aylisha, age 8 My Uncle Died I had an uncle who died. He gave food to poor people. He helped my mom walk when she couldn’t. I felt sad because I didn’t get a chance to see him. He was in Mexico. He wouldn’t stop drinking. I feel like a baby cat crying for her mom. That’s how I feel. My family has been really sad, too. My Grandma was crying for days but she is used to it now. -Tanya This next poem never fails to bring on the waterworks. Memorial My grandma is dead. I cry and cry And I pray so slow as I walk in the Door. So slow, so fast, so me and you My dad cries so loud like a tornado spinning Around. My mom screams for my Grandma, “ Porque te fuiste?” So slow and so fast as they walk home. They buried my grandma so slow, so So slow, now she’s in the sky with god, Protecting me and you I loved my grandma so Fast and so slow. I loved her as much as you. - Maria

When I was listening to this new song, I was imagining that if this was not Black Flag how would I feel about it. I still would think it sucks and the fact that it is supposed to be "Black Flag" makes it 1,000 times worse. Even though the Pistols reunited, they were at least smart enough not to record any new material.

I don't know if these are necessarily my all time fav albums, but they provide a decent selection of styles for my different moods on this deserted island. Amy Winehouse – Back to Black Converge- All We Love We Leave Behind Nick Cave- No More Shall We Part Charlie Parker- Now’s The Time The Clash- Give ‘Em Enough Rope Makaha Sons of Ni’ihau- No Kristo American Nightmare- We’re Down Tom Waits- Small Change P.S. Send a plane, I am stuck on a deserted island!

I originally looked at this thread only because the band shares the same name of my baseball team, but after I started listening to them I was blown away. Got my order yesterday and sounds beautiful on vinyl. Thank you!

If you give me $24.68, I will paypal you $24.68 and you can go buy yourself a delicious cake and scream the happy bday song at the top of your lungs!

I've listened to this about 8 times now and I'm hearing a little Russian Circles in there. I'm surprised the swirls haven't sold out yet. Tempted to buy another for trade bait, people are going to be wanting this when they finally discover it. Great band.

I will most likely probably definitely buy this multiple times kinda for sure. Why does Deathwish have to steal all of my monies?

I was pretty much one person away from the stage. I was wearing a Jane Doe hoodie. I didn't notice anyone wearing the T, I would have probably said, "Nice shirt."

That's funny that you were there. Where were you? If facing the stage, I was left side, wearing my Converge hoodie. I was one of the people the guitarist tried to get on stage, but it wasn't feeling like a stage dive night for me. Glad I didn't flake on going.

http://blackcloudsdc.bandcamp.com/ I like what I'm hearing. Bought the swirl /50.

So is anyone with any real technical experience going to answer the questions in this section of the board? So far it seems pretty pointless. I have read two threads about embedding youtube videos and adding pics, but no real definitive answers, just a bunch of more confused people. This forum should be called, "I'm confused and so are you, let's not help each other. It's all confusing".

This is swell idea. Someone do it.

I went and saw Kvelertak with Cancer Bats and Black Tusk last night. If you haven't seen Kvelertak live, it's something you need to do. A f*ckin' big rock 'n roll party. Everyone was having crazy fun, fists and horns in the air, singing lyrics they didn't even understand. The band sounded amazing and looked like they were having a good time. They had a bunch of shirts $15, a hat, promo poster $1, and the two records $25, which seemed to be the black versions. Wish they had some sort of tour press.

That is really lame. I wonder what the story is? Hopefully it's just a hiatus or they will make up and move forward. This band needs to keep releasing music.

Very excited for this!

I did some more digging and they have the same specs, so it would appear that it might be better to get the Acri-Plat and save the extra $30.
