Mine has taken a curious route and decided to go West to Memphis instead of an hour North. But Hoping it will be here tomorrow. From looking at the eBay listings, the numbering and sig is on the back too right hand corner. Can't believe how much some are going for on there.

Same... I'm in Decatur and it went to Memphis..

Is that video an explanation for the Fallout fuck up? It doesn't look like it. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?! WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!

Clearly a synth.

I love it when just standard black is the most limited variant. Academy Fight Song did that on their KDev and Brand New pressings and it made me happy. This does too. As does this release in general.

Well now he's reaching out to vanilla ice via Twitter https://twitter.com/enjoytherideres/status/690937601545650176

"Officially licensed tribute record" never mentions they're cover songs.

Also.. Totes pink right? https://twitter.com/enjoytherideres/status/690371319276425217

Well his Doug record sold out of multiple pressings as did the Nicktoons. So yeah, despite the 10 people in this threading hating it with a vengeance, ETR records often sell pretty good.

If I set my hopes low enough maybe I'll enjoy it.

Oddly similar to my outlook on the day when I wake up in the morning.

As much as I can't wait to finally have this again, I still hate trifold jackets.

do you exist? i cant be the only one, right?

what kind of rigs are y'all running?

im just in the midst of some pretty big reno's at my studio, and im really excited to see everything finally coming together.

Is that a UA4-710 in the left rack in that pic? I've just started using one this past year and I fucking love it.

Anyone want to overpay for original pressings of all of these albums? These new pressings sound like the version I want to own. I'm just crazy enough to get rid of my OPs for something of this quality.

My interest has dipped a lot. I have fun while I'm playing it, but the "can't wait to get home and play" feeling is gone.

I'm sort of purposefully pacing myself for this very reason. Don't get me wrong, when I do sit down to play I can lose 6 hours easy, but I try to really only do that once or twice a week. I have Fridays off and no one else I know does so that's usually my day in the wasteland.

Definitely an rsd first kind of release yea? Maybe with an exclusive rsd variant but standard release to follow?

Thanks guys. I had a really shitty day and you made me chuckle silently in the dark while taking my pre-bed dump and trying to not wake up my wife.

Ugh. I broke down and stopped by UO on the way to dinner tonight. I was surprised when I did not immediately see it. It was way behind the other crappy records. This is, of course, the highest in audio fidelity. I've got my mids turned to 11. It's a good time drunk record.

Smoking mids and listening to spice girls? Sounds like my favorite older cousin in the late 90s

So I'm giving this idea more thought.

Obi Wan was surprised to find her, makes sure she's frozen for protection, something happens where she's released and dropped off on Jaku. This is why she hears Bens voice guiding her because he was a trainer at the Jedi academy when she was a kid. Luke is shocked to see her because he knows who she is. Ben told him about her and she comes from a time when the Jedi were stronger, so he knows she's the real deal. I mean Han was frozen in carbonate. So I don't think it's too far fetched. However, Atticus has a point that Disney is playing it safe.

Yea.. To expound upon my previous reply, Disney is treading a thin line with these reboots. They want to cater to fans and produce quality movies, however they aren't going to sacrifice mainstream appeal for fanboy fantasy. Most of these crazy plot lines the diehards are proposing or speculating are just simply not going to happen. Don't get me wrong, an intricately woven, backstory-dependent plot twist would be amazing, but would leave a general mainstream audience, without much real knowledge of the backstory (aka, the majority of movie goers) scratching their collective heads. There will be at least one big "reveal" in VIII for sure, but it's definitely going to be one where the casual Star Wars viewer can (without referencing the internet) say, "ok, I get that."

The trouble with all of these crazy theories is that they are essentially fan fiction, and there have been some really good ones, some that I would love to see played out on the big screen. But then, when any or all of these meticulously detailed fan theories aren't the actual twist and, for example, Rey really is just Luke's daughter after all, people will get all pissy and say that the movie is crap, Disney is ruining Star Wars, blah blah blah.

I don't necessarily want to defend "easy" or "lazy" filmmaking, just hoping that at the end of the day we can get past the fact that they aren't making Star Wars movies for the people who have clung to 30 years worth of possible canonical material and just enjoy the fact that they are making decent, entertaining, enjoyable Star Wars movies again.

this sounds interesting, I kind of hope they do something out of nowhere instead of playing it safe by saying she's Luke's kid

Did you see ep. VII? Don't get me wrong, I loved it.... but they're going to play it safe.

it's t-mobile and sprint signals. It automatically connects to the stronger signal.

If you're going to be out and about all the time, not connected to WiFi, I would say no, but again, that depends on what you have now.

As far as data, you pay for what you use. Say you pick the 2gb plan. You pay $40 up front. Then you end up using 1gb. They credit the $10 back to your next bill. Simple as that.

Outright vs. Monthly, There is no difference. The phone is the same.

The only difference between Fi and the other major carriers is no contract, and it's cheaper since its whole business model is to be connected to WiFi as much as possible.

Fixed it so you don't come off as such a dick.

Daaaaaaaaayum. That RULES.....that Washburn is going to sound phenomenal

Yuup. Finally back from a week in Chicago with family. First order of bidnez tomorrow is a little surgery for my geetar

Lets talk more about how the SEC is in decline.

The wife got me a matched set of Lollar "Peter Green style" low wind imperial pickups and a 50s style ES335 wiring harness to replace the stock guts in my Washburn HB36. I cannot wait to hear how my baby sings.

She was all bummed thinking my presents were boring this year ("you just got two chunks of metal and some wires"). I could not be more happy though.

About to head out to the 18 hour marathon. Doors open at midnight. Episode I starts at 4am concluding with episode VII at 7pm. Fuck yea. Bring it on.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about Athens.

All true. Go in the summer or on a break when there aren't as many students. Bars are less crowded, easier to get around, and the locals come out to play. There are some really awesome people in Athens

I can vouch for the ATL. The Athens Wuxtry is 1000% better than the Atlanta one, if you do a side trip to Athens (do it), don't miss LoYoYo stuff. Absolute gem of a record store. A national treasure.

The big names to hit in ATL have pretty much been mentioned, but don't sleep on the little hole in the wall shops either. There's a little place in Avondale Estates called Sunbrimmer that has an incredibly well curated used collection (new stuff is virtually nonexistent though). There's an amazing corndog restaraunt across the street too.

These guys are so fucking good. The hope and future of the alt-country genre IMO. Nice guys too. Live From the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame is phenomenal too.

I can't breathe.
