  1. Hey, was just looking for Minus The Bears 'Into The Mirror' 7" & 'Your Private Sky/South Side Life' 7". If anyone has either, feel free to leave an offer or PM me one. Thanks!
  2. Me too. I considered just riding it out, but now seeing all this shit everyone's going through, I'm happy I jumped on the refund train when MTS was actually 'communicating' (albeit through that Dan guy) and giving out refunds.
  3. I don't think they understand how a label/band relationship works. Someone associated with MTS doesn't understand how labels work? I'm shocked.
  4. It's not your fault people are buying your bullshit.
  5. God damn, 162 pages in & people are still falling for new shipdates...
  6. ^^ Ugh. What a surprise... someone named 'NFG Sk8ter' is gonna be 'that guy'.
  7. Hahahahaha, holy shit, this made my night. Thank you.
  8. The only thing that could make me happier than you being the final nail in RJ's coffin with that last printing you did would be you getting us pretty much the same packaging that RJ could never deliver. I know it's probably not going to happen, but that would be so wonderfully awesome and such a perfect end to this whole mess. Plus, we'd have 'When You Fucked Grandpa' on vinyl.
  9. I fully disagree with any argument that youre stealing digital files when you actually spend money (most expensive format albeit) on a physical record. You could technically just do a vinyl rip yourself if you had a USB turntable to work with. Yeah, but with the crackdown on downloading, who knows how long you're going to be able to download/find the downloads. I'm also a huge Red Scare fan, that's why it bummed me out to see Toby so flippant about downloads. Awesome to see he's mulling over including them.
  10. Tomorrow; they're a day late because of the Easter weekend.
  11. Space Camp, from 2002, and Audio Karate (EP) from 2001. Some of the same songs end up on both of those. They've also got a track on a comp called 'She Looks Good' from the Lady Melody sessions (that someone needs to add onto Lady Melody or issue as a 7" if they ever press it).
  12. I think I have decided to not capitalize on it. The good news is that there are all sortsa new labels popping up more than happy to exploit that avenue and they'll be doing a pre-order 9 months in advance. Man, those guys REALLY got it figured out! You do know that a bunch of legit labels offer digital downloads, not just the bullshit labels you're referring to, correct? Because your holier than thou tone suggests otherwise. This isn't a difficult concept to sort out, you even figured it out on your own up there - people want to listen to music. Unless RedScare is selling a turntable for the car/gym/etc, it's exceedingly difficult to listen to records on the go. Furthermore, now that the RIAA and law agencies are going after online piracy, by not offering digital downloads (which is becoming a basic inclusion of records now, regardless of your opinions on the 'vinyl scene') you're making it harder for people to listen to the music that they just bought. Most people, myself included, won't buy a record, then turn around and buy that same album on iTunes. That said, The Wandering Birds album is sick.
  13. lol knew as soon as i posted that someone would comment like that. this is the only time you will ever see me do that and it's because i want that record and he's not putting up a PO 500 months in advance. that shit with gold rush was pathetic. and if you only knew how i really felt about that site...but i like power, however miniscule GO BACK TO AP!
  14. Bump! I'm finally blocked from commenting on MTS' Facebook page. I feel accomplished.
  15. Anyone who treats record collecting as something more special/meaningful than any other hobby under the sun needs to get a grip on themselves and their inflated ego.
  16. That was awful. Did you write this? You should be ashamed.
  17. You don't have any sway over which stores carry vinyl, do you Travis?
  18. I'd buy up both those so fast. Lady Melody is such a great album.
  19. There are perks to having a good working relationship with Rise Records. I kid, I kid
  20. I figured they had to be pissed. Almost all of the 'smaller' bands RJ singed got either CD releases or digital releases. Blegh. Was RJ supposed to press the smaller bands releases, or were they specifically CD/digital deals?
  21. I already submitted my pricing requests to Universal. If the splatter or swirl drives the cost up too much Ill just go with a single solid color. I asked for pricing on clear w/ green splatter and green/white swirl (like +44 but with green instead of blue). If those are too pricey Im thinking of just going with an opaque redish-orange. Like the color on the insert.
  22. Do you think the next pressing's cover will be less pixelated, or is that all there is to work with?
