Looking forward to this one:

Compilation out on Cascine, featuring tracks from Bing & Ruth, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, and two of my favorite artists from last year, Julie Byrne and Julia Lucille.

I was wrong. Band confirmed it’s only in the bundles.  Not sure why it said 250 if Topshelf is saying 150?

Topshelf has a vinyl subscription, so I guess that the other 100 copies go to subscribers.

These were apparently repressed on clear vinyl as an indie exclusive, as well as a standard black repress. Out last Friday. I can't seem to find any press release or anything, or any online retailers that carry all of them (not that I need to buy any of these records a 3rd/4th/5th time...) but they're out there.

I saw some of these up for preorder from online retailers, but unfortunately only the ones I already have.  Only missing Achille's Heel and Control, are you sure that these will be repressed as well?

They have a proper cassette sub now, so all cassette only releases are part of that. Not sure about the CDs and whether they are still sent with the vinyl sub and/or have their own sub level. Not a huge deal but enough to dissuade me from renewing at a higher price. I'll probably wait until a holiday end of year sale and buy all the stuff they've put out in 2018 that I especially like in one order.

Ok, thanks!

They included all their cassette releases with the vinyl sub last year. This year, they removed the cassettes from the vinyl sub and created a new cassette specific sub and the price for the vinyl sub went up. Makes sense from a business standpoint since I think they're upping the # of cassettes they're putting out in 2018 but, in the end, existing subscribers were asked to pay more for the sub while receiving less and I decided not to renew. As far as customer support and shipping on time goes, Tiny Engines were awesome though. Everything came when it was supposed to and I wasn't accidentally skipped on any of the months.

Thanks for your reply! So you don't get the additional cassettes and CDs with the releases anymore? What about the ones that only came out on cassette like Long Neck for example? Customer support from them is stellar, I agree.

It's a bummer when labels struggle with managing their subscriptions. I ended my Tiny Engines sub this year after they trimmed back what is included while increasing the price and I might have to do the same for my Topshelf and Joyful Noise subs. Joyful Noise is pretty much a guaranteed cancel as they've forgotten to ship out my order for the last 5+ months. It is a bit annoying to drop a few hundred on a subscription and then, every few weeks, have to check a label's website and Discogs to see whether there have been new releases that have been sent out for others but not you.

Curious to know what you think Tiny Engines trimmed back this year? Looks to me like it is the same as last year, maybe 1 or 2 releases less, but that is not really their fault, right?

I did the (international) sub last year as well, but had to drop out this year because it makes more sense to pick up half a dozen releases in one go because of customs.

Queen of Jeans - Dig Yourself (Clear w/ Black, Blue & Green splatter)
Elephant Gym - Work (Dark Blue Inside Clear Color-In-Color)

Did you sign up before those titles were released, or later? I remember reading that you get the rarest variant available at the moment you join, so maybe that is the reason?

How many units the Limited Edition?

Don’t think we will ever find out, if I recall correctly the label never really males that info public.

New album out August 17, there is a limited edition up for order on Dead Oceans. First single is really good.

From Flenser 



I think I'm going to go for the bone in bone/$17.50 option for $$ sake but I'm stoked. Thom is a great dude, happy to cop whatever he puts out 

Ah ok, gotcha. I saw that only the bandcamp link was posted so I assumed that this wouldn’t come out on the Flenser. Thanks.

I’m confused, where can you order the special version? There is no mention of it on bandcamp?

Here's mine:

Wow, this is awesome news!

Wrong Way Records (try saying that fast 3 times)  is having a 50% off sale. I mention it here because one of my top 5 favorites of 2016, the split by Presents For Sally and 93mmfts is still available on the pink/yellow "fruit salad" vinyl. The LP is $9.95 and shipping $11.87 to the US, so less than $22 ppd for 8 tracks. Give it a listen!

 

edit: the Barracuda filter is blocking me at work, but their stuff is for sale on the WWR bandcamp site

Any other stuff from the label you could recommend? Are you familiar with it?

Thanks for setting it up. I sent you my money via paypal again, because leaguesafr doesn’t like foreigners.

So you guys think that the remaster will be noticeable?

Yeah, I got the email for the bracket challenge as well and wanted to see if we can get one going.

Congrats Chris, Matt and Ryan!

As for the fact of benching an entire roster, I think that the most important thing to do would be to implement a rule to prevent this from happening again. Benching an entire roster to ensure a better draft position or to get a better matchup should not be acceptable. 

On the other hand, I seriously question the use of the consolation bracket to set up draft positions for the following year. Just using regular season standings or doing a lottery for the spots 5 to 8 would make way more sense to me. Food for thought for next year, what do you guys think?

I need to buy my copy pronto. The packaging on par with previous releases?

Yeah, like always. Super sturdy gatefold, with lyrics printed on the inside of the gatefold.

Anyone with details for an EU distro hook up please let me know. 

Bis aufs Messer from Germany will definitely get copies (they always carry a bunch of Phil’s releases), and Flight13 (Germany) have also put up a preorder.

Edit: It looks like Flight13 also carries other releases now.

It is here.
