That was an excellent slogan back in the day but I don't know if it works too much with the current pricing. I might feel a little bit better if they dressed it up a bit. I mean they do use really good vinyl. It wouldn't hurt to mention that's why the price is higher.

Torche - In Return

Yeah, I'm getting the shirt no matter what I decide on the lp.

I really want this but after shipping it's going to be over $30.

and before anyone mentions that this is a double LP, this is the same label that put out a $20 ep. I love them to death but shits getting weird.

If anyone hasn't heard this in it's entirety, it is fantastic. I thought it would be good but it really blew me away. http://www.the1stfive.com/news/frank-tur....nto- it-over-it

Indeed, I'd like the record.

My HT is shit bag as can be but they managed to have these last time. I didn't score one then so I know I'm about to be boned this time.

Man I love Vacation because of the few times they've really helped me out but 29 dollars? Goddamn. So they bought them from another retailer and are reselling them?

i don't think he was making fun of you as much as your post. but you felt the need to defend yourself which set you up for baiting. you come off like a naive collector nerd. which is what people make fun of all the time. especially name dropping vc. that's like going to your local mcdonalds and saying you know the general manager of marketing. no one cares. we're all nerds in some fashion for something, but rather than clowning on yourself for that silly display of logic, you felt the need to defend yourself, which opened you up for more crass ribbing. not trying to shit on you. just stating the obvious. It's funny that people only want to read the words that help them continue being judgmental pricks. As far as being a vinyl nerd, I'm 34 years old and I didn't actively start buying vinyl till a year ago. I could care less about variants and even in that story I only buy two records, one for me and one for a friend. As far as being shy or timid, it was solely because I thought the merch guy would think I was a flipper and not sell me the records. I had already promised Josh and Juan I'd get them records and I actually care about helping my friends. I could give a fuck less about VC or even writing about vinyl in general. I only started writing for the blog to up the content and I only joined here to keep up with releases, plus Josh and Juan were members here. I'm a grown ass man... I could care less about what some cunt on the internet thinks but it burns my ass when it's someone I've supported for years.

Great record....I missed this too.

Like I said before, I hope you didn't take offense by me posting the link here. I just wanted the board to see how much of a prick that dude from MB was. I guess he doesn't represent the entire company but what was said uncalled for. I'm glad you posted it. I want everyone to see it at this point.

I was excited for K454 but it was cd.

Thanks guys, I wrote the piece the way I did because I'm comfortable making fun of myself for being a wuss. In the end I did just what they were making fun of me for not doing which was ask for all the records. I hope the fb thing made people realize how shitty MB is. I was genuinely shocked. We had just ran a post advertising the Jesuit before it came out and then covered the records when it was out too. Only Jane Doe they had at the show I was at was black.

Got these from Hot Topic on sale. Thanks for pointing that out whoever.

That is a band that I liked when I first heard but then never hunted down any of their stuff. I think I'm going to try again.

It defies physics....total seller.

wow, two pages of this huh?

I scored a couple of Pink Mountaintops records thanks to this thread. Thanks folks.

and the real questions begin.

wait, you were actually gonna name drop VC? you might as well say you know frank. j, do you know or think you'll have some for the CHAOS in TEJAS date? LOL....Indeed, but both Jake and Tre post here and have hosted a contest on our blog so I thought it might help. The Converge merch guy on the other hand wasn't having it. In the end it was a funny story if anything.

Id take white in a second.

Which is the approach that Deathwish has started to take with Converge records. and why they are my favorite right now.

Here's my little write up on scoring this record. http://theystillpressvinyl.wordpress.com/2011/05/28/convergedropdead-split-7-inch/
