Don’t put that evil on people who smoke lots of weed.

They made them smell like 25 year old meat and milk? Nice!

Bet they love you and don’t talk shit about you at all at that shop

Really like how they dedicated Rapture to Riley

Estupido...

Yea, the album is perfect but I never listen because it’s just too heavy. Reminds me of losing my dad. “...Is Survived By” was also integral in my coping with his loss, so this band will always just feel like a best friend that’s always been there for me. Can’t wait for Lament.

Man, I listened to Stage Four for the first time in a good long while cause it’s an exhausting listen, and I just don’t see how they’re gonna ever top it. I mean I am excited for Lament but SF is just bottled lightning.
 
few albums make me feel like this.
 
I miss my Mimi.
 
Fuck cancer.

Story time.

Back in the early 2000s I was a manager of several indie movie theaters in the Philly suburb area. I randomly came across Translating The Name  in 2004 and was floored. Played it on repeat all the time and got a fellow co-worker hooked on it too. In 2005 I saw that Saosin was playing at the Trocadero, a fairly small music venue in Philly. At this point I knew the band had a new singer, so I didn't expect the same vocal style, but I was still stoked to see the band live. I went with the same co-worker mentioned above. The set was pretty decent, but lacked the same vocal presence that the former singer Anthony could bring.
After Saosin played my co-worker and I went to the upper part of the venue to grab a beer. He lit up a cigarette and we stood there chatting. A minute later some kid walks up to us and asks for a light from my friend. He hands over the lighter, the two look at each other, and the interaction went as such...
Kid: "Brian?"
Co-worker: "Oh hey... Anthony!"
Co-worker (to me): "Do you remember Mike Green who used to work at the theater in Doylestown? This is his little brother Anthony."
Me: "Oh, yeah. Hey man, nice to meet you" (shakes hands)
At this point the two of them continued chatting and I stood there for a solid 2 minutes repeating in my head... "Anthony. Anthony. Anthony Green. Anthony Green? ANTHONY FUCKING GREEN!"
Me: "HOLY SHIT! YOU'RE ANTHONY GREEN!"
Brian: "Uhhh, so what?"
Me to Brian: "Dude, this is Anthony Green, formerly of SAOSIN and now Circa Survive. We've played Translating The Name non-stop. That's his fucking voice!"
Brian: "Oh shit."

The three of us chatted for a good hour about his brother, his time in Saosin, and new band Circa Survive. Turns out Anthony grew up in the same town as us and we knew his older brother without even realizing it. Over the years we would grab drinks with Anthony here and there in town and he often hooked us up with the Circa Survive show guest list or photo passes. I miss those days.
 
 

Looks like it would hurt on the way out...

Would you call it The Great Dismal exchange? 😭 I’m sorry, I’ll my way out.

Don’t miss copping that FTSK for $12. That is a steal, my friends!

I grabbed a rare /100 then then /1000 as well because damnnnn it has potential. 

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!

Some addict you are!

Is that not the point of the band?

It's gotten out of hand, see every scorpio release. Quiet vinyl does not make an audiophile pressing, hell a well mastered record does not make an audiophile pressing. Living Stereo shaded dogs/mercury living presence classical records are audiophile, Belafonte "At Carnegie Hall" is audiophile, those boring ass direct to disc sheffield lab records are audiophile. I'd say Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions" is audiophile, but a record needs to be well recorded and then well mastered to be considered an audiophile record. Some of the stuff MOFI/AP release aren't even truly audiophile because they weren't well recorded to begin with, as I stated earlier it's a real small cross section of well recorded and enjoyable music. I like all sorts of music that isn't well recorded but just because it sounds better than it has ever sounded doesn't make it audiophile if it was recorded in a less than ideal room without using top notch recording technology and proper mic placement (hell some people debate music recorded with more than one mic discredits it from being audiophile in certain parts of the internet) 

Guess I lucked out, mine looks and sounds great (not always the case from KRM).
 
And I like this album a lot! There are new little details I’m digging with every new listen. Fuck it, let’s rank them:
 
Greatest Story
Calcutta 
Apathy
Skeleton 
Metropole
Ghost Stories
Guided Tour

And I know it doesn’t count, but Cocktails & Dreams would probably be my favorite.

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.

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.

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

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!
https://mad-world-records.myshopify.com/
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.
