The Gel album is FINALLY on its way. Seems like forever on that one.

This pretty much sums up this whole situation -"I feel like keeping them sealed is kinda pointless at this point." I can understand keeping some records sealed for whatever reason, but ALL? You're on a board where people at least pretend to listen to their records, so you're not going to get a lot of support here for bug filled sealed records. Sorry. The solution is to open and listen to them. It will then be easy to remove any insects. Keeping them sealed for value has now been deemed irrelevant with bugs inside. They might actually be worth less if there is any bug dookie on the cover.  Good luck.

"Available for a limited time" until we make it available again later at Amazon, Walmart, and 7-11...

Fool me once, or twice, or five times, but you can't fool me 10 times, I bet.

Selena Gomez - Single Soon 7"

Selena Gomez Official Shop

 

I've been trying to listen to her stuff because I like that Murder show that she is on. It hasn't clicked yet. Anyone have any opinion about a "best album" they could recommend?

It was a mistake .. you can re-order the record .. they are available again ...

Okay. I'm just gonna take that as a sign that I don't need two variants of this record. 😄

Anyone else get a refund from jpc for the electric smoke? It was still up for a pretty long time after I purchased. Kinda lame.

I sure hope this means that they will be touring. Such a kick ass band to see live. 

Some albums I like better than others, but there has not yet been a Menzingers album that left me scratching my head or feeling disappointed.  Looking forward to the new one. The single is a keeper.

Can someone explain to me the hype around Taylor Swift? 🤷‍♀️ For me she is the Metallica of Pop. Principle thing: 💰🤑💰 Not that this is new, but she brings it to a new level, from my point of view. Even in Europe she made it to the headlines because of exorbitant ticket prices. 

I'm not really sure what you'd like explained to you. She is a very popular artist who is also pretty brilliant with her marketing. You either like her music or you don't. In the past, I really did not enjoy her music. Folklore changed that for me, and it made me look at her earlier work in a different way. They way she is handling the rollout of her releases is increasingly annoying me, but now I just hold back and don't buy anything immediately. There will surely be more variants and probably a signed version for every vinyl release.

WTF is Willowtip thinking with the pricing of a single LP... $37 and $8 up charge for merge-splatter?

For comparisons sake, Afterbirth is on Willowtip now at their PO is up for $26 

I'm just gonna say that the end is near. I don't know if it's the labels, bands, or pressing plants, but they are going to effectively kill record buying once again. I don't know this band and I don't wanna know them, because those prices just push it too far. I'm not judging anyone who buys this, BTW. We all have our "needs", but in the past I would have at the very least listened to them to see if I wanted to buy the record, and there would have been a good chance I would have purchased it. Now, I'm just buying less and less. Spotify has become my friend.😬

Looks like 250 each variant.

New Teenage Halloween up for pre-order:

I dig both colors. Wonder what the pressing numbers are?

These are all things that were preordered months ago. There’s been a few that I’ve been able to cancel thankfully. I haven’t made any purchases/preorders in a month and a half, maybe more? 

No damn need to explain. We all have our things to get us through, and buying a couple records ain't gonna make a difference. I hope you're doing well.

I HIGHLY recommend the F!RES record if any of you haven't already listened. Shawn Smith plays keys and does backing vocals.

The red with black blob version is limited to 250 and you can buy it from the band.

Regarding the new pressing of Lust for Life, right clicking and selecting "View page source" provides some insight on what's left at the moment:

"inventory_quantity":5524

So maybe a pressing of 6000? Dunno.

I can never figure out that shit. I looked for UV info and did what you said. Went through all the code and just didn't see it.

Also, the variant cover UV is back in stock in the UK store. This has been one fuckin' expensive record day. I need to stay off the boards for the rest of the day!🤣https://uk.shoplanadelrey.com/collections/music/products/ultraviolence-exclusive-alt-cover-coloured-2lp

New pressing of Lust for Life. Her store pressings are so unpredictable. Could be gone in the next few minutes or there for months. They never seem to disclose pressing numbers.

I have to admit that the production/mix on the two released tracks seem a bit off to me.  The guitars seem buried in the mix during the chorus in "History Books", which makes it lacking in that usual chorus punch we hear in TGA songs. Maybe I'm just nitpicking. So great that Bruce is on the track. Must have been a dream for the band.

Dig the Tiger's Eye the best, so that was a must. The Electric Smoke also looked cool, so bought that, too. Funny that the one from Germany ended up being cheaper with shipping than the BV/Altpress variant. I don't remember if I've ordered from JPC. Hope it arrives safely.

The pink one is supposedly out of stock, which I don't believe. It also says it's coming out in late July. 

Adios a bye bye.🤪

Do you see anyone else here starting a new thread to announce records they just bought? No. That's because it's fucking annoying. Read the goddamn room. Instead of starting yet another thread in a forum that you are new to, why not try to contribute to conversations/threads already started? I have also been holding off commenting on your threads in hopes that you would grab a clue. If this new thread is any indication, it seems that you are not very aware of the world around you.

That first song has an early Lush vibe.
