Ignorance Is Bliss is being pressed right now.  I'll post the pre-orders to the face to face fan club page as soon as they open up:

Holy shit. You rule. Just joined. Can’t believe this is actually happening, and I’m glad the news is reliable considering nobody knows their face to face shit better than you! 

Edit: please tell me it’s a 2xLP with the So Why Aren’t You Happy? songs.

Thanks so much for the heads up so I could get on my refund for the Orange 9mm repress quickly!

Look at it this way: had Ali not gotten injured, he would have likely still gone on the Smackdown gauntlet run like Kofi and maybe still made it to the final two in the chamber, but I honestly don't believe he would have the kind of organic, lightning-in-a-bottle type of momentum and storyline potential that Kofi has right now, after all that. And he DEFINITELY wouldn't be getting the WM match (assuming Kofi does, of course). I'm a big Ali fan, but he has plenty of time to get hotter before he chases the belt. Him falling down adds to his Vince-approved underdog story arc.

 

Kofi's time for a run is now or never and it will be an awesome moment, if it happens.

 

By the way, did anyone else looooaaathe that HHH promo last night? Big Dave cuts an awesome Instagram promo and HHH responds with that GARBAGE! I'm not into all this "wrestling isn't real, but our feud is" stuff..

As an at-a-distance WWE fan who waits for friends to tell me which PPV matches are worth going out of my way to see, I’ll admit you sized that up better than my emotions-over-facts approach. The Ali fanboy in me wants to believe this could’ve all been his, but you’re correct it most likely wouldn’t have been.

I stick with the above model for TV as well. The only WWE TV I’ve actually sat down and watched in years were the two recent Smackdown matches between Mysterio and Almas. I spend a lot more time watching NJPW, Progress, and whatever other scattered Euro indies I can see Ospreay, Walter, and Develin matches on. I do generally enjoy NXT Takeovers too, especially anything involving British Strong Style. Speaking of which, anybody else here lucky enough to score a Dunne action figure?

You got swerved, Scott. I think both will provide a good match with Bryan, but the thing that bugs me most about all of this is that Kofi’s push would’ve been Ali’s. I’ve been an enormous fan of the guy since the CwC tournament, and his push was the most improbable in Vince’s world. I’m gutted for him, having to sit on the sideline watching his replacement get a Mania title match. Fuuuuuuck. That’s gotta burn. Hopefully he doesn’t go into aimlessness in his return like Balor did for too long.

Wow. Like everybody else I love this record enough to have sought out an OG, but MOV represses are usually top notch so I’ll probably have to do this. I’m REALLY surprised somebody’s putting the money behind this considering that this band seems to be kind of lost in history compared to post-hardcore brethren like Quicksand and Helmet.

How do people feel about Tragic? Which one I like better changes by the month. It’s a shame it never got a vinyl pressing, but I’ve always assumed the market isn’t there for it now. Maybe if this sells well somebody will consider it. “Failure” is the fucking jam!

I don’t even acknowledge anything post-Tragic beyond that song “Victim”. Traynor leaving seemed to be a creative death knell.

I feel the same way about the Homelife record. Most slept-on record BN has ever put out in my opinion. I hope people figure out their error when they get it in one of those bundles. I wish I didn’t already own every BN release I’ve ever wanted or I’d be all over this. R.I.P. Banquets. 

Know that you will only get store credit for cancellation too. No refunds.

Man. Including Boy with Stick on this is a *chef kiss* - probably my absolute favorite  Hum track.

I won't go that far but am very happy it's included. That was my first guess for the 3rd b-side but still didn't think that would be it because it's a YPAA b-side. "Aphids", on the other hand, I am SEVERELY stoked on having in 100% analog.

I got my blue comp before Xmas but didn't listen until yesterday morning. I forgot how much some of these songs rule. Somehow I appear to be one of few to get a completely intact mailer too.

Fat Beats would be a great add as well! Keep up the good work!

I don't see any options to addto cart. I only see price. Shit sticks!

Edit: was in the store at 12:00am and still looks like I struck out. So disappointing. 

I scored a copy of the purple sparkle from Enjoyment way back when, but the glitter does not exactly enhance the sound quality. Accordingly I'm stoked on this and will probably grab another copy. If anyone really wants my OG, I'll listen to offers.

Thanks so much for posting this. I had no idea dear Hippy was doing anything else and have long lamented the death of moneen (at least in terms of new music). I got 90 seconds into the video before I had to shut it off and go preorder. Sounds fantastic. I love when I kind of forget how badly I miss a certain band, and then one of the members (or a surprise reunion) blindsides me with something new and awesome. Hopefully this isn't one of those I'm-way-into-my-30s-and-will-only-do-2-shows-a-year-in-my-home-province type of band because I would love for them to do a US run.

Warning: domestic shipping is $10. If you try to help a friend and yourself save some of that dough, know that total shipping goes to $30 if you buy 2. Unreal. Also, is it just me or does the length of this album scream "2xLP me!"? Ah, whatever, very glad to finally own a copy.

Finally something concrete! I finally felt confident enough to throw my beloved OG black up on Discogs. Jacket is a little dinged up. All offers will be considered but any VC homies would get first consideration and preference. Help me fund my chase for a Blacktop Cadence test press. I'd link it but I feel like that's too douchey. 

I'm cautiously optimistic about the new material. I hope it defies the quality trend with lackluster reunion albums. Actually I hope it slays like the new Hopesfall. Wowzers that shit jams.

How dare you not tell us what you're selling for that much! Seriously though, I'm dying to know.

I thought they would be but I can't find on discogs. I must be looking in the wrong place

Does $12 work for you?

Wow! I'm surprised at how much more difficult Caution seems to be. I have a copy with a bad skip that I should've returned but I've always been like "eh, I'll pick it up in a store sometime when there's nothing else to buy". That never happened, and I'll probably be stuck with my skippy copy for a while.

Got mine today too but also haven't had a chance to spin. Man, I REALLY hope they give that DTMD album a pressing with this anniversary deal. It was criminal to have left it out before.

Very weird but very cool. Is it just me or does it seem like that might've been a mistake? I can't recall ever getting anything other than the most plentiful variant from amazon.

While you're shopping for Pro Era vinyl, don't miss out on this. I enjoy it even more than All Amerikkkan Badass.

Edit: Where the hell is the Cap Steez project already!?!?

I liked it too but was slightly underwhelmed. "Starve" is a FANTASTIC closer though. And with that frickin dirt cheap price, I'll be ordering the LP shortly.

Oh hell yes, ordered real quick! $40 was a tough pill to swallow though for 8 songs, but who knows when we'll see this again.

Exactly. And after seeing what the last pressing is going for on Discogs, you can say it again.

Thanks SO MUCH for the heads up. I was despondent when I missed out on the last repress. 31 pounds shipped is a bit to gulp down for a single LP at retail, but luckily "If I Sit Still..." is worth it alone.
