  1. That's nice of them....they didn't pay for those copies. I'd ask for a refund, take pictures of the mailer and contents, and see what their response is. Maybe it was an accident ( wasn't supposed to ship and they got a new guy or something?)

    If anybody has had this from the purple version of this title from TTLab feel free to speak up

    Got my replacement copy from Turntable Lab. Once again, double boxed and packed well, but damaged in the same exact way as the first copy I ordered from them. Super annoying that they are knowingly shipping out a damaged product.

  2. Mondo Steels:

    Looper Reg (Unsealed, small slash on slip that doesn't affect steel)

    Looper Var (Sealed)

    Boyhood Reg (Sealed)

    Boyhood Var (Unsealed, but mint)

    First Blood (Sealed) SOLD

    Pan's Labyrinth (Unsealed, but mint)

    Dredd (Sealed, small slash on slip that doesn't affect steel)

    Flash Gordon (Sealed)

    The Thing (Unsealed, but mint) SOLD

    Terminator 2 Reg (Unsealed, but mint)

    Terminator 2 Var (Sealed)

    LPs:

    Beach House - Depression Cherry (Black)

    Björk - Vulnicura (Black)

    Deafheaven - New Bermuda (Pink EU - Seam Split)

    (All LPs are unplayed)

    I pack everything so it arrives to you as it left from me. Make me some offers!

  3. Grumpy old man review: Dodge and Burn is an ok collection of random songs that were probably outtakes from previous sessions. Some ok music with poor lyrics over it. Jack White has been quoted as saying Three Dollar Hat almost didn't make the record...which would have been an improvement. Almost every track would make an ok b-side to a single, but they do not amount to the quality of previous LPs. If the band was on a major label I would just assume this was them squeezing in the contract mandated record of the year...but as they are not I am not sure what the excuse is for the low quality on this. I hope this is just me and you guys like it, but for myself I will just keep spinning Sea of Cowards and Horehound.

    I feel the exact same. Well put.

  4. Thank you for this tip. Just called them and got a copy on Baby Blue for $27.99 shipped :D

    The only catch is, no sticker on the outside to let you know what color it is. Music Millennium was kind enough to crack open a copy to check it.

    Worth calling if you are still looking for one.

    Must've gotten the last one. Just called and they had three left. He opened one of them for me and it was black. The manager thought the baby blues in stores were just "luck of the draw". Anyone confirm that?
  5. lol, are you serious? welcome to punk

    Exactly. Welcome to punk. I hated punk back then. I was too suburban bored to care about politics. Refused repackaged a very relevant idea in something other than three chords and militant veganism. TSOPTC was the catalyst for a whole lot of change in a whole lot of people.

  6. If you think of TSOPTC, then think of everything they've done since (Noise Conspiracy, AC4, TEXT, INVSN, even David Sandstrom Overdrive) then this record makes total sense. The same people hating it are the same people who'd have hated Shape when it came out, I can't imagine someone who's a fan of previous Refused - the heavy stuff, the weird stuff, the multiple genre stuff - not enjoying this.

     

    As musicians and artists, they've never not thrown a wrench in the system. TSOPTC was a challenging record when it first came out. I'd be willing to bet there are more than a few people on here who would be lying if they were to say they loved it upon release. My 15 year old brain sure didn't love it. I thought "techno" was dumb and wondered why capitalism would ever be important enough to yell about either way. I felt stretched when listening to TSOPTC back then in a similar way to how I feel about listening to Freedom now. It's rare that a band can confuse and excite someone at 15yo and then again twice their life later... that, in and of itself, is an achievement. 

     

    P.S. Anyone looking to unload a Purple for cost... get at me.
