  1. nothing in: MA, RI, NH, CT, ME, VT, NJ one location in: NY really? thank Bob for mail order, I guess.
  2. I have extras: two red copies and a green copy if anyone still needs one. cost + a few bucks for shipping. hit me up via PM.
  3. I have 3 extra copies of the recent Hot Topic represses of The Artist in the Ambulance. 1 copy is the first (green) press /1000 and 2 copies are the second (red) press /1000. They're all still sealed. $50 each postpaid in the US.
  4. Apparently this is available now. The UK (and everywhere else) original vinyl on Warp has one more track than the Warp CD. The US CD version was released by Sire Records and the Sire release has two fewer tracks than the UK vinyl (and one fewer than the Warp UK CD). It seems that this is a legit repress of the Sire US CD version onto vinyl.
  5. $12.60 for shipping is enough to make me unwilling to buy this.
  6. whoa. I'm on vacation and barely checking the internet. good thing I decided to check this forum today!
  7. Stopped by the Harvard Square Newbury Comics after work today and got some pretty serious RSD leftovers: TREOS - Songs//2003 Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come Moving Mountains - Forward (I was stunned this was there) Kimbra - Settle Down CDEP Also non-RSD: Finn Riggins - Benchwarmers (not official RSD but was released on RSD) M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (pink + blue vinyl) Tim Hecker - Dropped Pianos word up to this.
  8. I haven't noticed any excessive sibilance (or any other distortions).
  9. I didn't get much. Just about everything I really, seriously wanted was on the extremely limited and/or regional portion of the list. Here's what I did get: Botch Tebowie Flaming Lips / Mastodon Florence & The Machine Garbage I went to two stores for opening (one opened at 9, the other at 10, about 1/4 mile from each other) and I think between the two of them there was one copy each of Hey Mercedes and Moving Mountains. I didn't see any copies of Refused, Death Cab, Minus the Bear, mclusky, Sigur Ros, Rainer Maria, or TREOS. Rainer Maria I'm not surprised about since I think I read it was a /100, but TREOS is a local band and Refused was /2000. I just ordered Hey Mercedes off the 'Bay via BIN for a surprising $16 shipped - most eBay flippers seem to have been smart enough to give a BIN price of at least $30, so lucky me on that one. I also, unrelated to RSD, snagged Rainer Maria's A Better Version of Me for $20 shipped which is pretty solid. Other non-RSD in-store pickups: Minutemen, Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat American Football S/T Fugazi, Margin Walker
  10. Yeah I don't know. I was thinking of putting in an order for the mclusky, Kimbra and Minus the Bear releases, but between $13 for shipping and sketchily charging sales tax on that, I decided against it. Shady dudes like that shouldn't get rewarded with my business.
  11. Looney Tunes is listing sales tax on an out-of-state shipment in checkout. What the hell is that about?
  12. just got this in finally. it looks fantastic. Thanks Travis! I also got my shipping email from HT about 5 minutes after the package arrived. nice touch.
  13. right? I'm glad an actual postal employee can confirm the weirdness for me.
  14. this exactly. I love supporting stores. I hate the entire concept of Black Friday (which is even now practically extending into Black Thanksgiving which is eminently fucked up) and the experience of dealing with a store on RSD, rushing to get records in the middle of a seething mob feels exactly like Black Friday to me. It doesn't help that most stores I've gone to for RSD just set up a couple of racks that only maybe 4 people can even see at the same time.
  15. Its too bad you never took the time to get their music. Acquired taste I guess but theres no denying theyre a group of 4 extraordinarily talented musicians. re: acquired tastes: if something tastes awful, I don't put it in my mouth a second time in hopes that I might maybe "acquire" the taste.
  16. I called right at 8:00. Turns out they had the package. It seems it was probably supposed to be scanned as "attempted delivery" and the wrong button got pressed. The fact that this happened at 8:43 is still really baffling - I called at about 7:00, which I know is a whole hour and a half after the post office closed but I figured what the hell, and someone answered but he was like "you have to call back tomorrow. I just set the alarm". Which is pretty damn weird in and of itself. Why would you even bother to answer the phone if you just set the alarm and had to leave within 30 seconds or a minute or whatever? And setting an alarm suggests that no one is there after you leave. The whole thing is really screwy. But the manager-type I ended up speaking to said the delivery guy found it this morning, so all appears well. I hope. I still don't trust these guys. About two years ago, my friend was sending me a book he wrote that had extreme personal value to me. The post office left me a pink notice, then somehow completely lost track of it entirely. No one at either my local office (tiny, retail only essentially) or the big one the next zip code over that handles the deliveries knew anything about where it was. It ended up back at the sender about a month and a half (!!!) later. I vowed never to have anything USPS delivered to my house again. This was actually the first time since that I let it happen, let my guard down -- so I am DEFINITELY getting EVERYTHING shipped to my office forever and ever amen.
