bump!

Grabbed a black. Your guitar playing is too good to pass up. We ever going to get some more T/T/T?

TTT is no more

blush

it's more of just irony cus Matthew and Josh have both played in an Evan Weiss project but Evan isn't a part of this one

Josh and I hope you still enjoy it!

find it kind of funny how this band has members of Evan Weiss projects but he's not it lol

Why? Josh plays drums in IIOI

Pre-order

bump!

Fuck yeah. I'm excited for this.

Matt, any word on a Lifted Bells full length?

We've actually got a new EP (I know... another?) coming out in March and we've begun writing the LP. We're actually trying to stay consistent with our schedules/writing. We just signed to a new label and we're super stoked on the new direction these songs are going in

Link?

Pre-order goes live on Thursday with Count Your Lucky Stars. Brooklyn Vegan will be premiering a song the same day

"Anyone can tell you that being in an instrumental band better mean you are damn good at your instrument and creative enough to compensate for the lack of the vocals. The good news is Recreational Drugs pass with flying colors- which should be of no surprise, given the resume of Matthew Frank (Their/They’re/There, Lifted Bells) and Josh Sparks (Into It. Over It., Former Thieves). Still, in this project they really shine, with movement after movement of contemplative and thoughtful guitar layers and drums that fit together like a puzzle. Recreational Drugs is not a band you just put on in the background to study-on the contrary, Recreational Drugs is a band you stop everything else to study. Think Ghosts and Vodka meets Unwed Sailor."

Really excited to finally get to show everyone this. Pre-order goes live on Thursday, record comes out on the 18th.

I would have [lost control] if Polyvinyl had copies of Hey Mercedes - Loses Control.

bump, picked up a few things yesterday

This is daunting. Really wanting to dive into filling up my GBV collection, I know a lot of this can be found on discogs but I'd like to work with people on here first if possible. This is what I have:

Guided By Voices - Alex and The Omegas (Guided By Voices Inc, 2014) [black | 1st Press | ?/1,000]

YES!

I remember loving Thingy's "To The Innocent", listening a zillion times back in the day.

if this was pressed...

PM'ed

A couple of lathe cuts i had made recently (under the gristlejaw pressing co. moniker). 1 copy only of each record. I finally have Clutch's Transnational on LP!  Also included here Clutch LP with demos, outtakes and promo-only live songs with adapted artwork from a promo CD from that era. Rumbleseat "Demonstration" LP with unreleased songs and demos found as Hidden tracks on  the...is dead CD.  Crustaceans was a Gainesville band that featured Samantha Jones (Rumbleseat, Bitchin', vanbuilderass).

who did these lathe cuts?

got my newbury exclusive yesterday, gold looks really great with the art. haven't spun it yet though

COLORED VINYL NOW SOLD OUT! (08:10 AM // 10/23/15)

my "band exclusive" was delivered today, looking forward to seeing it in person after work

I haven't read every post in this thread yet but wanted to make a few things clear.

 

- When I defended the band on Tumblr, I was referring to their shit talking of Pitchfork. Should I have been defending them at all? Definitely not. I had never (and still have never) seen the band say the word "faggot" or post anything transphobic until last night. That doesn't excuse the other stupid and offensive things they have said, but at one point in my life I felt that we had so many bands, and worked with so many individual people, that it was fundamentally impossible for everyone to have opinions in line with my own. This was a very naive and even harmful outlook to have. I realized that is not the way to approach these sort of situations and that as soon as anyone feels unsafe, marginalized, disrespected, threatened, or unaccepted, that whatever is happening is not ok. 

 

- All Whirr and Camera Shy merchandise will be removed from our store, we're working on it. 

 

- This is not a PR stunt. We are not dropping them to save face. We are not ceasing to work with them because of the hate we got on twitter, we simply hadn't seen the bands tweets yet until we were notified by the general public. We would have made this exact decision on our own, although the thousands of people tweeting at us definitely made it happen faster. 

 

If you have any questions, comments, or simply want to talk about this with me, please feel free to email me. [email protected]. I will respond to everyone so don't feel that your time may be wasted.

Thank you.

seriously best dude.

whirr sucked/sucks. transphobia, misogyny, racism & homophobia suck, they are and have always been completely unacceptable and products of ignorance.  i made a bowl out of the nothing/whirr split i was gifted, i needed an ashtray for my new apartment anyway. feels good to put trash inside of trash.

Nope. It's the Rhino reissue that doesn't include all of the extra tracks that are in the boot. The Jap doesn't have the raised lettering on "RIDE" like the Rhino one does.

donkey show!
