  1. Getting married did it for me.

    Really though, if there's an album that marked the end of variant collecting for me it has to be The Big Come Up by the Black Keys. Once they started putting out a variant every 6 months for that album I had to stop. I cut down to the white first press, the 180 gram remaster, and that negative cover image they did on clear vinyl (cause that was a cool gimmick).

  2. Today a cool thing happened. I work at a church in Decatur, GA and I was finishing up editing some guitar overdubs for a Christmas album, but I left the hard drive with all of the tracks on it in my car. As I was walking through the lobby out to the parking lot I saw someone who greatly resembled Chris Freeman from Manchester Orchestra walking past me. I did a double take but kept walking. Later I had to go get something out of the a/v closet and into the room next door walk Andy, Robert, and Chris. So definitely Manchester Orchestra. At this point I am wondering if I have fallen asleep at my desk and am having one of those vivid dreams where you're at work and your favorite band shows up in tuxedos. Turns out they were groomsmen in a wedding. I was "that guy" and went in and introduced myself and they were very gracious and didn't make me feel like an ass for being a fanboy. Very cool dudes. So yea. Cool thing. How was your day?

  3. Curious why you say this, our characters were all victims of an ambush--the only choice they had was to pursue and eliminate the threat. They were all doing their jobs, reacting to an extremely shitty situation that they didn't cause. It was the suspects that did all the aimless killing, aside from that nameless cop shooting the bystander by accident.

    Yea in real life they would all be put on mandatory paid leave while IA investigated and probably also given some mandatory after-action therapy. When it was proven that acting on orders they responded appropriately by engaging armed attackers and had no control over those attackers firing on a crowd of bystanders, they would be reinstated without question. The only one who could face disciplinary action is the nameless, civilian shooting cop who is now dead.

  4. Man. Today was the perfect storm. All 8 records I ordered from that crazy No Sleep sale showed up at the same time all 6 records I ordered from that crazy Daytrotter sale. Plus a copy of the new Dawes record from Amazon. And my wife pulls into the driveway from work as I'm picking all of this up off of the front porch shirtless in my gym shorts after taking the day off today. I got that wordless "we're going to talk about this later" head shake.
