if i miss the OMM LP preorder im gonna kick this treads ass!

The thread was started as a joke. I don't know Scott or his history on this board, I thought it'd be enough to make people chuckle
I knew I wanted to be a scientist since I was a kid. My eldest brother was a microbiologist. I always looked up to him. When I started my BSc in Biology, I had no clue which field I wanted. As a kid I liked marine biology a lot, but knew it was a hard future. My senior semester I was offered a research project in a plant molecular lab, and then offered a position as a research assistant to work towards a Master's in Biotechnology.
Master's led toward PhD. All plant molecular biology. My PhD project was working on RNA silencing a lignin producing catalyst in a wetland plant. To be used to clean up pollution, and then used as a renewable energy source. I thought the project was cool, but didn't feel like it was worth anything in the grand scheme of things.
Fast forward to summer 2011. I was recently married, and found out my lab manager was embezzling grant money. We were broke. I started teaching to make a pay check. Then my wife's father died very unexpectedly. We decided to start a new life. We moved a few hours away to a city where we knew two people. My best friend owns an audio tech company and offered me a job. I figured it'd be a nice break from science. When looking for a free health clinic I found a research hospital, with a cancer research center, with a new team looking for a molecular biologist.
I met the PI and told her my background was RNA silencing. She said "I need someone with RNA experience... Want a job?" And here we are. Small coincidence that my father in law died from COPD.
I have a lot of friends who smoke. I just tell them once that its way worse than they think, and they should quit. I usually try not to hound people, but I do ask people to not smoke in my general area. Second hand smoke is just as bad as first hand smoke.

So stupid

I thought this was about somebody starting a Kickstarter to pay to frame their Reinventing Axl Rose collection.

Haha, lucky guess.  Well i have never seen an AE that likes punk rock, and i never ever see anyone say they are media buyers/planners.  Shit, even as a media guy i think i only have 1 friend that works in media.

I work in advertising too brah!

No idea how this slipped under my radar last year. Been on the look out for an affordable copy for a spell. 
Buuumpin' record. It's sold at an average of 22-25 bucks. 2xLP on Clear /1000 repressed in November.

Post other links if you find em.

According to his facebook a US preorder is coming soon.

Your link, coupled with your avatar and deadformat list made me cringe. 

cant pull the trigger just to get the 7" of the month club on LP.  Hope they sell that separately
 
 
Man, i feel bad for the NOFX collector.  Dropping 400 bucks to get both pressings is nuts.

Wait a second. You ordered a record from them a week before Christmas, and are freaking out about not having it yet? Get real.

Do yourself a favor and don't stack your SNES on top of your NES.

got a 2x2 unit for the office and reorganized everything. 

I can't compare it to live at the catalyst but I think it sounds good

There were 1200 Shit Out Of Luck LP's with 300 tour editions to total 1500 and there were 1000 regular CD's with 300 tour editions to total 1300 CD's
I'm wanting the Lillingtons box set to wholesale for around $70.00 but a majority of these will be mail ordered through Interpunk.
All 6 LP's were cut this last weekend and the lacquers were sent off and the plates should be coming back in a couple of weeks.
Spent an hour on the phone (Skype)  last night with Mathew Dunn (the artist in Australia) who's doing the artwork to get everything finalized.
Got the prototype of the box all the LP's will be housed in yesterday and this release will be epic.
For those of who are into the music and the packaging, there’s something here for you and there’s also
something here for the collector nerds.
(BELIEVE ME, THERE’S SOMETHING THERE)
 
 

This is what I came home to after working in another part of the country for 3 years.
 
I had a lot of fun opening all these!
 
 
 

OK, I swear I'm NOT trying to outdo everybody here but this is what happened to me in 1990.
I was at work (in Augusta GA) and a guy told me there were a bunch of punk rock records at a used book store.
He told me the only bands he could name were GBH and Flipper.
Well, I figured it would be a bunch of garage sale type records with a few punk rock records mixed in and so I didn't give it much more thought. It just so happens that I was down in that area of town and I looked over and I saw the book store he said these records were at.
So I went over and in and what happened next sounds like I'm making this all up but I swear to God I'm not. I walked up to the old record racks and on the front row was the Flipper record and the GBH record. I walked up and looked behind the Flipper record and what I found was the SS Decontrol "Kids will have their say" record in dead mint condition. The cover looked like it had been pressed yesterday and the record itself didn't even have a spindle mark on the label. This was only the tip of the iceberg. There was EVERY X-Claim record there. There was also most of not all Dischord (ALL early pressings on the HEAVY stock), Dangerhouse, Touch and Go and to many to even name. There were around a 100 LP's that I picked up that day and they were all $3.00 each. This had to be someone’s collection that had either died or went to prison because this was not someone who just bought records; this was someone who collected collectable records. Well, I went to the front to check out and I wasn't believing this was actually going to happen till I gave them my money and I actually walked out of the store with these records. I paid the guy and asked if there we any 7"s with this collection, he stated that there were three large boxes at his house and he'd bring them in tomorrow. To say the least, I came in the next day and what was there would make ANYBODY cry let alone to have the chance to but these things at $1.00 each. Here I found (I bullshit you not) all Dischord, most Touch and Go, most Dangerhouse, and so on and so on. I purchased about 200 7"s like this and still left tons of records behind (bad move).
There wasn't eBay back then and i don't even think I was using the internet back then so I had no idea what these things were all worth so I put in an add in the back of MRR and did a telephone auction and sold about 1/3 of them and gave away the rest to people who would like the freebee with the record they purchased from me. I will tell you it kills me when I now go to eBay or whatever and see how much some of the records were worth of the ones I left behind..... And this is how I started Selfless/Clearview Records...

I did a 'Collection Monday' thing on Facebook for 60 weeks and I have combined all collection pictures here: http://cantslowdownrecords.blogspot.nl/
 
Loads of awesome collections from loads of bands!!

The 6 LP's will contain SOL, BCB, DBT and TLS as well as the entire live set at the Jam Room as well as Lillington High, Marbles, Nothing Cool split, out takes and the demos. it's really the T.U. on 2 LP's and the SOL will be the re-mixed version done by Mass.... This is going to be a really well done set with no expenses spared..

i found 2 dollars in my pocket when i put on my pants this morning... that was pretty awesome.

i've decided to give my wife anal for the first time.
