  1. for those people saying the cover doesn't matter...it does

    you ask anyone why they prefer vinyl over other formats, one of the reasons people say time and time again is the enlarged artwork

    i bought this because i love thrice, i love the album, the color is gorgeous, i listened to the whole thing when i got home after buying it and it sounds great...but the fact that we got a subpar piece of artwork really bothers me! especially when it costs $20+

    I agree. Larger artwork is a big part of why I like vinyl over anything else.

  3. man, fuck dtr and rich/stef reines. that was my favorite label 10 years ago and what a pile of shit it is now. so many people would buy that entire catalog in a heartbeat. you'd think they'd smell the $$$ and just do it.

    sigh.

    edit: @enjoytheride...i'd buy Acceptance - Phantoms immediately if you pressed it...

    I agree with this 100%. Drive thru records stage at warped tour 2003 is one of my favorite memories of any concert I've been to.

  4. i was really surprised that i got mine already. i'm usually one of the last ones to get stuff on here haha.

    the records themselves are super heavy. been listening to 'a collection of songs' and it sounds fantastic. the packaging is that sturdy cardboard-ish like material like they used for cursive's 'mama, i'm swollen' and it has a gatefold w/ all of the lyrics. the vinyl is in those really nice plastic inner sleeves (love those things...). 'oh holy fools' has a thinner material for its sleeve, but same thick vinyl and plastic inner sleeve as well as an insert w/ lyrics. also both include CD copies.

    pretty stellar releases, can't wait to get the other 4. the fact that we're getting super NICE vinyl editions, high-quality digital copies, and CD's make this well worth it. you can really tell that SC put a lot of love into doing this right.

    just thought about it--for 6 releases, that's an average of $16.50 per release (assuming all are equal, blah blah). shipping per every set of 2 is probably about $4, so that's really only about $14.50 + $2 shipping figured into the price of each release. holy steal.

    Damn you. Purchased.

  5. I searched for a thread like this but couldn't find it so I hope it doesn't already exist.

    anyway,

    last night I got pretty smashed and when I woke up this morning I had an e-mail from Polyvinyl confirming my purchase of matt pond PA 5 LP bundle and the of Montreal 4 LP bundle. Been wanting to buy these for a while and I guess my drunken self decided "fuck it". :-X

    What are some things you purchased while drunk and didn't really remember buying?
