The Means demo is so freaking good. I hope it makes it to the next album.

Mine didn't come with a download card. Any other way to hear the songs?

This movie sounds about as good as jack & jill or the love guru

I thought I was the only one that felt this way.

Local store still has glow in the dark copies of this. $18ppd and I'll grab one for anybody that's still looking.

I might end up taking you up on that.  I'd like to hear it before hand.  Do you or anyone else know where I can find it? I've been having trouble.

Having ebay on my phone is a bad/good thing. Just sniped a Balmorhea - All is Wild... charity test press for $32ppd. I don't even own a normal copy of that album. #debtforever

I'm extremely jealous. I have all of their albums and if Derek doesn't end up with it I wouldn't mind seeing if we could work something out.

Me too. I hate cases but after trying and returning like 4 different cases that I hated, I picked up one of the official apple ones and I'm fine with using it. I have the silver phone and the white silicone case fits nicely with it.

Has anyone noticed a large spike in data consumption with their 6/6+? We don't have unlimited data plans in Canada. But when I had my 4s I had a 1gb plan that I never went over because I use wifi at home. When I upgraded I switched to a 3gb plan which I somehow managed to blow through in 2 weeks as well as maxing out my broadband allotment at home this month. I haven't been downloading anything big. Is this phone just a data sucker??

I have to say the signal strength is pretty shit too. When using my cellular network as opposed to wifi, nearly my whole house is a dead spot. I never had this issue with my 4s.

The exact same thing has been happening to me on both fronts.  I don't use my 6 any more than I did my 4 and my data usage is almost double. I also have been lacking service in my house that didn't happen before.  Overall, I like the 6 but its just weird it uses so much more data.  Luckily, Verizon had a promotion going on and I got 2 GB more of data per month for $10 less.   

Just saw James Vincent McMorrow last night.  Pretty awesome.  Saw This Will Destroy You this past Monday night.  Pretty awesome as well. 

If anyone got their new Black Clouds, how was your packaging?

I received mine yesterday and It came in a clear vinyl jacket which kind of disappoints me.  I'm not really sure if it was worth the $20 but I'm digging the album so far.  

Just got back from seeing them in carrboro, nc. Like everyone says the first two bands are hard to swallow. Great show other than that.

North Carolina - LTE in Wilmington --- SUPER FAST, 3G or 1x everywhere else.

What band do you play with and where did you play in Wilmington?  I lived there for 10 years before moving to Durham. 

I'm currently in a bitch fest via email to them about the shipping. They said they use "USPS & UPS auto-mark ups" on their shipping. So I pointed out that a shipment of 4 lps from Europe didn't cost $26 for me. So happy I decided to become a Cloudkicker collector this year lol.

And yes I'm aware that bitching at them will get me nowhere. But at least I'll feel better.

Let us know what they say if you will. I'd like to hear their rationale. 

I'm also in to say I'm not paying $10 for shipping.  I just don't understand. 

also friends, gina flew home today. we got 6 weeks together buuuuut

 

related, i hate pretty much everything and wish to be very drunk

 

probably shouldn't do that though, nobody wins when i get like that

Hello Steph.  I see you are from Durham, NC.  I am from Durham as well.  Nice to see someone else from that area on here. I hate everything as well.

I'm in!

Sell me your Beacons test!!

Man I wish I could.  I can't part with it though.  Its cool that yours are signed because mine are as well.  Do you know what the pressings numbers are for the ones you have?

It's nice to see the same folks in different threads for bands that I like.  I feel like everyone that posts in the Instrumental thread likes the some of the same bands I do.  With that being said I am ordering this.  Awesome band.

i paid $5 for this LP.

That's so weird.  I paid $5 for this as well.  

Where the hell did you get a Fade test press???

Not to brag or anything, but I own all of Cloudkicker's test presses.  I'm not sure how many he had for all of them but they are signed for me.  

would be down w pressing of dusted. acoustic advantage me is my shit

Advantage me is the bees knees.  Shit is awesome

I've been digging these two releases recently:

http://widekmusic.bandcamp.com (progressive instrumental metal with ambient bits)

http://alphamaleteaparty.bandcamp.com (heavier version at ASIWYFA)

If anyone is interested in alpha male tea party and wants to go in on their vinyl let me know.  I can work out buying and shipping. 

Thank you kind sir!  It's all packed up and will ship on Monday!  

Hey yo! Have you tried at all to get their new "Dusted" EP pressed.  Its awesome and I would love to see a pressing of that. 

You guys give great advice.  I'm really going through a tough time right now so any sort of advice is good, welcomed news.  Thanks

Alright. Here is the biggy.

 

2 years ago, I almost got married. We called off the wedding a week and a half before the big day. Here is the story.

 

M and I were good friends before we started dating. It just felt natural. We were together for 2 years and engaged for a year. I was helplessly in love. I would do anything for that guy. Everyone thought we were this perfect couple, but obviously I was an idiot. 

 

I have always been a bit of a hopeless romantic. We had problems. He had problems. But I overlooked them and loved him anyway. It was probably pretty unhealthy. I gained a lot of weight. We were too comfortable I suppose. We made it through some pretty shitty times together, but we helped each other through it. Blah blah blah. The fact that we hardly got in arguments or disagreements should have been a good tell something was up. Or the fact that he was unemployed and I was basically paying for the wedding myself...

 

Ultimately it failed. All of that love and work failed. He cheated on me a week and a half before our wedding. And then he told me a day later.

 

It was one of those moments you think you will only encounter secondhand or in movies. Calling the guestlist and vendors to cancel was hell. He had asked me not to tell anyone so I didn't. I learned who my real friends were and those were the ones that pushed to know because they knew me well enough to know that I wouldn't just get cold feet. I was in love, and then I was heartbroken. His family and friends still don't know to this day what happened. I have no idea what he told them, but the only friend who was told the truth is one of my dearest friends now.

 

It is a crazy story and I can't believe how dumb I was to think I was ready for marriage at 24 years old. Only two years have gone by, and I know that I am so thankful that we didn't go through with it. Even though it had to take him cheating on me to realize it wouldn't work, I am thankful.

 

Meh. So there you have it. My saddest story that sometimes makes me laugh now at how ridiculous the whole thing was.

Thanks for sharing that.  That must've been extremely painful.  I'm going through a breakup right now and sometimes it gets pretty painful.  How did you move past it? I'd love some advice.
