It was annoying to wake up to this entire pressing being almost sold out, but I was lucky enough to nab the /500 without the bag. The colorways are way rad on those bagged copies, but I’ll live... I guess.

I hate to love this goddamn hobby.

Some addict you are!

Just throwing it out there that this album fucking slaps hard.  In my top 3 Larry Arms for me along with Greatest and Calcutta.

Yea, this almost feels like another Greatest. It doesn’t quite hit that mark, but the feeling it leaves after a full listen totally shares that same vibe. Really love this album.

Just realized I’m still waiting on that NUFAN. Anybody have any idea when that’s shipping?

Mad World Record Joins a List of Indie Shops in Denton That Are Closing for Good

Sad to hear that man. I live in Flower Mound and have been up to your shop several times. Hope better times are ahead.

Fingers crossed, but thanks for all the support you've shown throughout the years. This place is near and dear to my heart, so I'd hate to see it go.

Hell yeah! Just picked up Groovie Ghoulies “Re-Animation Festival” & Samiam “ What’s Got You Down” for great prices. 
 

Didn’t have descriptions on condition, but I’m hoping for the best. As with any record store, price to sell is something that’s definitely respectable and appreciated.

Thanks for the support! Hope it arrived to you in good shape... while used can be tricky, we're pretty picky on what we buy. Hopefully we'll be able to update with condition and other information once we get everything actually on the site.

Hey y'all -

I work at a small shop in Denton, TX that has just recently opened up a webstore. The future isn't looking too great for us as it stands, so I just wanted to put this link out there in hopes that y'all might find something you like. Currently working on getting some interesting and hard to find shit on there, so it might be worth your time!

Sorry if this is shameless and self-promoting, or in the wrong section... pretty much just throwing a hail mary out there to see if it'll help us out at all.

Thanks for looking.

I knew there would be some sort of snafu when they announced Smartpunk would be hosting the orders, but I'm glad to have these pressed. I imagine we'll see some delays and other related shit happening before we get these in our hands.

On one hand I'm ready to sell all of my records and alleviate all of this space and money

on the other I found a way to convince myself that I need that Clipping release alongside the Slint one too

That clipping release is NOOOOT cheap...

This record store day is shaping up to be a good one... lots of stuff that I don't "need" but isn't that what this hobby is all about?

Can we all just stop for a moment and collectively agree that the reoccurring guitar line and accompanying drums of Swaying Leaves is the feel-good moment of 2020 so far?

Honestly? That's just the beginning of these types of moments for this album... the whole thing is sprinkled with beautiful moments. Can't easily just pick one.

This may very well be the first thing I ever back... this album absolutely holds up.

Can someone dm me the new address... I seem to have fallen out of the loop on their pressings and I loved their TMNT one.

Those EPs were the peak of my DC fandom. It felt like Chris Carrabba could do no wrong and I'd be young forever.

It was almost like his farewell to the old fanbase. I kinda view Yellowcard's "Underdog EP" like this, too.

Don't think I've seen anything related to Deserta, who just recently put out a new album that I can't stop jamming. Slowdive/Sigur Ros vibes.

Haha I feel like this is a snarky hipster "I know what the original version of hands down was" response.

 

I suppose I meant an alternate version than the one that most people know, one of their highest streamed songs, the one that appears on their album, etc. But the reason I mentioned it is because I don't own it on vinyl already, opposed to the full band version. Do you own the "acoustic original" on vinyl outside of this pressing?

I dunno if it's snarky as much as it was just meant to indicate that the recording you're referencing could quite possibly be the superior version that was released on the "So Impossible EP."

But you're right about it not being on vinyl previously.

Side note - Can someone just repress THAT EP, at least? That shit was the last fully good thing he did before moving on to his full band stuff.

Wish they would just go ahead and press the first two records before SRC has the chance to fuck em up...

Yeah I was reading the liner notes and how it's all audience recorded on vintage tape equipment. Super cool stuff.

Does this set come with a DL code.

a good few seconds to realize? that's dope you got to do a blindfolded listening of it for the first time! who set up this listening party? i wanna go to one!

You're trying way too hard.

someone should explain what "note for note" means to you.

It may not be note for note, Mr. Literal, but it took me a good few seconds to realize that it wasn't "Chase This Light."

That sax solo is god-awful and "Love Never" is essentially a note for note re-recording of "Chase This Light." Ima pass.

We were all waiting for you to let us know you were going to pass. Don't hold out on us so long next time!

I mean, this is a forum, so I'm glad I met your expectations!

That's how it seems (no way to differentiate with packaging). Also it was still available last I checked.

 

So the store version is a white/ light blue mix.

The tour version is a clear with black wisps. 

That's four new color versions of a record with a million variants. 

Not that this record was recorded super well in the first place, but could the pressings be a little cleaner maybe? I seem to recall No Idea pressings being somewhat hit or miss...

Yea I love that Gratitude album. Hopefully becomes available a little bit cheaper, but I might bite on this once my finances get a bit better.

These two records are the shit. Already have a pretty rad German bootleg of AD, but I may have to snag both of these anyway. Really love those AD shirts and hope somewhere in the US is selling them.
