  1. Thanks

    Wal-Mart also used the same cover art for their abridged Eagles Live at the Forum release.
     
    I guess it is to give you the illusion of what a great deal you are getting when you buy the Wal-Mart “exclusive” vinyl.
     
    What they don’t tell you is you are missing at least half the tracks. 😜

    However, if you can get either of the abridged Nicks or Eagles albums for $15, that still might be worth it.
     
    But NOT for $30+. 🤑

    ...saw Bethel and Morse and noticed you're in my area. Didn't even know Walmart carried vinyl in store.

    Look out though.
     
    What you have listed there is the 2LP Wal-Mart “abridged” version of the box set.
     
    It just has her main stuff and is missing a lot of the rare tracks.
     
    Would LOVE to score the 6lp set for $30-$50!

    Na, lets be fair here, the guy dropped $100+ on a box set and it didn’t meet his expectations. It’s fair to voice his disappointment. That doesn’t mean he’s away to shoot up the nearest school. Plus he’s Canadian so we (you Americans) should be safe.

    Yeah. TTL have had that "advice" posted on their site for a while, as a subtle nudge for people to not contact them about warps.
    Personally, I prefer the alternative method where you put the vinyl on your lap and pet it softly until it relaxes into being flat.

    Not trying to tell you what to post but some of us are willing to live on bologna  for a couple weeks to buy records because our love of music and records is second only to oxygen, and due to our malnourishment we are occasionally forgetful and fuck up.

    Totally get you here but IMO, for some, the equation can be a little more complex than "make smart financial choice = higher quality of life" or, at least, have other elements that make me less interested in highlighting each poor decision.
    If someone makes the personal decision that their #1 goal or focus is to achieve a certain level of financial security, above all else, then I definitely think their perspective of eliminating all decisions that lead them away from that goal is right for them. If that isn't someone's main goal, above all else, then I don't know if I can tell them "You should have done X financial decision instead of Y financial decision". I can see how being broke and overdrawn and having some more records is a better life than being less broke and less overdrawn with less records. Not accounting for extremes or outliers, I tend to peace out of moralizing someone's situation and offer my best human-to-human vibes.
    But, as I said, 100% get you and I do agree with you in many circumstances. To look at it selfishly, in case anyone is thinking I'm pandering or trying to appear selfless or something, part of why I don't indulge the instinct to wade into someone else's financial choices is because I'd simply be wrong. Whatever assessment I made for them, by virtue of me not being them and knowing all the particulars of their life, would most likely be inaccurate. So, "you do you" is also a selfish way to not be wrong.

    As someone who has been both dead broke and well off, I have nothing but empathy for people who are broke and no judgment on how they spend their money. That life can suck really bad and you deal with some predatory BS that zaps up whatever excess energy or cash you have, so I'm in no place to tell someone how to get through it.
    In my own experience, I've found it one million times easier to save money and spend smart when you have excess money coming in. When I was in my 20s and broke, I spent hundreds of dollars a year on overdraft fees (and balance minimum fees!) that I incurred from spending money on food, records, entertainment, gas, school, basically everything. It'd set me back for months and cause more late payments and more late fees. Since I've been well off, I've paid zero dollars on overdraft fees and I've been able to both save and spend smart. Why? Am I suddenly a responsible moral adult? No. It's just that now, when I make a stupid occasional mistake, there are almost zero consequences. I can accidentally spend too much on something and nothing happens. I can forget to pay something and I can easily afford the late fees. 
    It is so so easy to  offer advice like "spend less!", so I get when people say that trying to be helpful, but I have to remember to reject that impulse and instead put myself back in that headspace of being broke and offer empathy rather than admonishment. It really is a racket being broke and if people want to buy records or do things that make life suck a little less, even if it costs them more money, I say go for it.

    I don't think Against Me in 2016 can really be considered a cash grab. I would estimate they lost a lot of fans and a ton of cash because of Laura being trans, and probably continue to do so as narrow-minded folks realize it.

    I don't see Public Enemy, Smashing Pumpkins, or Built to Spill in the Lucky 13 section.  So that extra 13% off section must be changing at intervals.
     
    Also, it looks like the entire site is 40% off right now.
