Dude's snoozin' hard

Pantera- Vulgar Display of Power get so stoked I have to go punch shit

Online: DFA1979, You're A Woman, I'm A Machine (priority # fucking1!!) Shop: Mastodon/Flaming Lips 7'' Feistodon 7'' Various- Smugglers Way (Domino Records, 5xFlexidisk 7'' + zine) Sigur Ros- Ekki Mukk 10'' Aretha Franklin/Otis Redding- Respect (Brown) 7'' Refused- SOPTC 2xLP (clear) Refused- STFTFOD LP (white) Highlight of my day: My lady's uncle owns my favorite record shop in town and I've been kissing ass to get a job there since I moved here. As I was about to head out, he introduced me to some of his coworkers as ''a guy you'll be working with soon''. So subtle that I almost didn't get what he was talking about. Then the happy dance kicked in. STOKED

Gift Card tip-dude, +1. I can't get over how fantastic my lady is. I had to work at 4 (Norway time) which was when this went up online. This record has been at the top of my hit list for years and I couldn't bear missing out on this. Gf offered to sit with trigger finger ready while I was at work. 30+ frantic what-the-fuck-p.o.s-site-internet-is-broken phone calls while I'm slingin' pizzas in the middle of a dinner rush later, ORDER COMPLETE. She was like ''what's that site you blow all your money on where dudes have pissing contests over who has the most copies of the same album''? Found this thread and made my fucking month. Can't believe that she sat and figured this shit out for 2 hours. GF, +1.

dooood smugglers way is so fuckin' sick. the owner of the shop i frequent forced it on me while ringing me up. ''you need this.'' dude was right

my shop had em all. picked up songs to fan.. and shape of punk today was a good day

FINALLY Picked up the Green holograph. Having just gotten back from RSD shopping, I'm officially broke.

tits or gtfo

THANK GOD. I was beginning to worry this was CD only.

HAH! That cover.. Thanks for the heads up! Totally spaced this band. Dug the shit out of their first album.

*happy dance

Oceanic ordered. Thanks!

Just found out that come fall I'll start work at the local record shop (woop woop). In the meantime I've been helping out with renovating the place for their re-opening in a few weeks time. I'm pretty damn stoked on the idea, so I'd thought I'd share. In order to compete with chains and a general public disinterest in buying records, the shop is expanding their business from solely a record store to a record store/pub cafe/small stage venue to basically stay afloat in a town when people mainly spend money on clothes and alcohol. I'm definitely excited about this change. Can't wait to sit down after work, enjoy a beer and recommend records. Next week we'll be installing a wall of import tap beer! Way pumped. So I's wunderin': Do any of you frequent or know of record stores that have expanded or found creative ways of getting people in the door?

Hit or miss for me. Their shipping is usually pretty damn expensive and is primarily based on weight. I've lowballed shipping payments receiving records in plastic bags basically. It's worth researching your shipping options to make sure it arrives in one piece. Don't know the specifics, just that it's more expensive than from the UK. I'll let someone who's actually from Deutchland take over from here.

thanks brew! such a solid group.. i'd love to see their back catalog pressed. especially ''these are the vistas'' their cover of aphex twin's 'flim' is phenomenal

bomb diggity

What does it usually go for? It's averages at 40-50. The signed copies go for more. Not the rarest around but I can't get over that deal!

pogcollective.proboards.com? i'll trade you my donatello for your shredder slammer

Definitely why I check Ebay periodically The Bad Plus- For All I Care /500 http://www.ebay.com/itm/170816186653?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 (unsigned, but whatevs) score!

My only complaint is that it fuels the 'bragging rights' for 'weoow sooper ltd 1/1' collectors. But I guess that's the point with the whole thing.. getting people into local stores to drop bank for a day. Totally cool with that and I'll probably be standing in line on the 21st. I'm definitely guilty of the mentality at times but I do wish a lot of releases were given at least one standard press instead of /300 on 5 different variants that get hoarded within minutes by people who keep them sealed.

- slingin' 'za all easter + get double wage for it + getting 1,000 dolla in tax returns + getting an additional 3,000 dolla in vacation pay because it actually pays off to dish out taxes in some countries.. + that means that all travel expenses, rent, spending money is covered for my trip back home to Minnesota this summer. gnar - exams in a month. no motivation to read textbooks.

true story bro this month has been crazy for releases i've been stoked for or reissues of shit i've had on my hitlist forever. aaaand RSD is coming up. i need a cheaper hobby.. pogs or some shit.
