I honestly would get the bundle with the socks, but then that shipping really kills it for me. Might just have to buy the No Country/41 LP bundle and sell the No Country since I already have one.

Rise is essentially a graveyard for bands... kind of not expecting much from this whole thing. Also - saw one of the four songs they played at FFF before they threw a fit about the sound and ended the set early. Apparently Wes isn't screaming live anymore?

How high is that IQ requirement if you’re misspelling “personal,” brah?

Holy shit. You have made my day so much better. Can’t say I’d be able to justify spending as much on three pieces of vinyl, no matter how much I love them.

Oh fuck, they were $30 each?

Yeaaaa... the small run for a product that’s been promised for years and in such high demand is frustrating for those of us that didn’t check our phones in time. Que será... just a bit bummed.

This day just shat the fuck all over me.

This is not a real comment and I refuse to accept it.

Man, between this new crap and the lackluster 30 minutes set I saw jenn headline with three times, I think I’m just done with them. And I LOVE “Welcome The Night.” I’m just tired of waiting for an actual album to come out.

I mean... it sounds good.

Man, you take that back! The first three were solid GOLD. I believe there was only one actual shot, so I think you’re clear.

This. This is what I'm talking about. GTFO of here with that. Jesus fuckin' Christ.

Might wanna ask before you pull it out.

And they don’t charge til it ships! Woohoo!

I hadn't gotten around to reading that yet? I'm sorry? I was unaware until she had mentioned it, and then I thanked her for her contribution. Your response, by the way, while not as bad as some I've seen just serves to prove my point. Don't call people or their conversations insane - it's not very productive, and if you're asking us to respect your approach to art, maybe you should follow that advice yourself.

Did not know there was an actual cut-off for pedophilia-related activities. Thanks for learning us.

First and foremost I don't want this to seem like I'm downplaying the victims and what they endured. That's not the point. I'm not asking that anyone "like" Jesse Lacey or write off what he's done. I didn't mention the victims because I've sent them my sorrow and good vibes and I don't think ANYONE thinks these victims are to blame or should have had to suffer. I'm more so a humanist. I believe that humans can become better with the proper treatment. There are so many factors to consider, many of which we'll never even know. My first thought when I heard this - "Was Jesse himself abused?" A lot of EDIT: sexual offenders suffer at the hands of others before they turn into one themselves. This is just one of the many thoughts I have whenever I read about these kinds of things. Same thing goes for most people that I see commit any crime. I'm just not one for blood and justice. I believe in humanity and society, and I don't believe that we even have the right to judge others. Therefore, I have these views. Is his behavior reprehensible? Absolutely. Are all the girls involved victims? 100%. Should there be more attention focused on this? Yes. But until we start treating criminals like humans... how can we expect them to act like them? I probably shouldn't have said anything, but I'm honestly disgusted at how most of you have replied to not just me but to other posters stating their opinions. If you disagree, find a kinder way to say things rather than telling people they're "pedophile/rape apologists." It's just hateful and deters the idea of the "community" we're supposed to be building. I appreciate @swb responding with an open mind and seeing the potential for an open discussion.

I think your view of "rehabilitation" is... dead wrong. Rehabilitation is not relieving, comforting, AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT an escape from consequences.

I had started to type something like this out but didn't quite know how to put it. Basically, aside from what's been confirmed and is currently coming out - a lot of y'all need to just queue up the majority of your record collections. I've had friends that have toured with the majority of bands I enjoy and y'all enjoy and the stories I've heard are plentiful. Also - I find it weird that very few people have mentioned rehabilitation for these individuals. It's just "THEY SHOULD BE IN JAIL" and other really nice wishes. You forget that these individuals are human beings, however reprehensible their actions may be, and I think it's important to remember mental health plays A HUGE ISSUE in these kinds of attacks. But yea, let's go ahead and bring out the pitchforks and hang anyone and everyone that has ever committed a heinous crime. I'm sure the lot of you would all be safe, I imagine, since you're throwing those pebbles so goddamn hard in that glass house from which y'all are shouting.

Yea I mean... if these records were that "disgusting" wouldn't everyone just be giving them away for free? Or perhaps this is an elaborate ruse to rouse the pedo-apologists that will still treasure their beloved Brand New?

It's been a rough day around here at the VC... let it slide, my friend... let it ride easy down the road. Edit: You're also in a JTB thread, so I wouldn't have been as surprised if I thought people were being a little too overly emotional or sensitive.

This is the best thing I’ve read in a long time. Thank you for being a friend.

Looks like Anakin have every record on sale for $10 a pop. I couldn’t help but buy all three, as I fucking love this band. anakinmusic.com RIYL: Reggie and the Full Effect, HUM, Weezer

Got mine in, both on color, and two pins - so hopefully they’re not ALL jacked!

Mine are waiting for me at home - pin/color update coming shortly.
