unwound got a reaction from paranoidantroyd in CONFESSIONS
Confession? I might have a piss test tomorrow..and I just don't give a fuck. I kind of want to be let go, which is sad because it's a stable, well paying job. Gotta love them first world problems.

unwound reacted in SECULAR HAZE'S FINAL GIVEAWAY
SECULAR HAZE’S FINAL GIVEAWAY
Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Tonight is the One Year Anniversary of this thread, and to commemorate it I've decided to do one final giveaway. This past year has been a great experience for me. I have met some outstanding members that I can now call friends, and I've also had the opportunity to explore some new genres of music that came as recommendations from others. I will deeply miss hosting this thread and I hope that others will continue paying it forward, as they have been doing lately. This final giveaway serves as a tribute to the community as a collective.
One lucky member will win the following package:
(2) Records of your choice from any online store (no price limit)
(1) iTunes gift card or Barnes & Noble gift card
(10) Brand New 12” Polybags
(5) Brand New 7” Polybags
(1) Box of popcorn (to consume while you watch your favorite threads spiral out of control)
(1) Giant bag of Skittles or Starburst
TO ENTER, post the following information:
(2) Records of your choice (description and link)
Your choice of iTunes or Barnes & Noble
Your choice of Skittles or Starburst
The winning member will be selected at random on the night of Friday, April 11. Good luck to everyone that participates.
I’d also like to give a tip of the hat to a very integral member of our community that doesn’t get enough credit for the hard work that he puts in behind the scenes. I’d like to recognize the efforts of our Administrator, jhulud. For your dedication and service to the community, I award you this:
As soon as it goes up for sale, consider it ordered!

unwound reacted to Shitty Rambo in RAFFLE! Thrice Alchemy Index
After discussing and looking into the legalities of raffles we've decided to ban the practice altogether. However, since cesar11 is a long time VC member with good intentions we've decided to let this raffle be the final raffle ran on the boards.
The official rules will be altered and any future raffles will be dealt with accordingly.
Good luck with this one though guys!

Nah man, I wish! It's actually Symmetry - Themes For An Imaginary Film. That "V" does look like the Venture Bros. "V" though!

unwound reacted to ronniegwilliams in MAN ADVICE
definitely not an argument by any means, I think it was two awesome dudes trying to make more funnies, if anything we were both setting each other up to make even funnier jokes off of one another. that my friends, is the anti-argument.
also, never heard the term pump and dump, but i will be using it at least twice daily now

unwound reacted to thebiglebowski in MAN ADVICE
I wouldn't call that arguing.
Despite what dating sites would like you to believe, the number one place most people meet their spouse is still work / school (saw it on one of those yahoo front page stories). You just gotta do it right. You really like the girl (assuming you are a guy) or is it casual? I wouldn't recommend a pump and dump. Not worth causing workplace drama.

unwound reacted to Rip in recent pic of yourself thread (happy jason?)
That's cause we do! I only buy cardigans and plain v-necks from there though. And I don't even remember the last time I bought something for full price there. Shit is so expensive it's unreal.

Can we put "what is it to burn" so it matches the center labels?

unwound reacted to circuit bored records in I got a new guitar!
At my work they're trying to get rid of a bunch of display models for super cheap, so I couldn't pass up a crazy-ass deal on this bad boy. I've always wanted a tele ever since I started playing and this was my Wayne's World "she will be mine" moment.
It had been in the store for at least 5 years, and had a lot of a little chips on some of the metal frets that made bending the strings around the octave really fucked up. So I had to get the frets leveled and crowned at a repair shop in LA, which came out amazing:
It's basically better than it would have been brand new out the factory. And even after the cost of the repair it was a steal, couldn't be happier about it

So not having sex with this girl is getting really really tough, but man oh man is it gonna be worth it. Over the last year I've slept with more girls than I'm stoked to admit, and they were all just drunken flings, there was nothing of actual substance or emotion. Pretty sure I'm in love with this girl, so that's pretty rad. Sorry to cheese out the thread.

unwound reacted to collectivemike in Has the vinyl revival gone too far?
Reasons to re-issue Kenny Rogers (and anything else you can find in a bargain bin):
- Most people don't go digging through crates for used records
- Kenny Rogers fans have disposable income
- Labels need to make money to stay in business
- Labels don't make any money off of bargain bin/used records
- If you want the record, it's easier by a longshot to order the re-issue on Amazon than it is to find a used copy in a record store. That actually involves leaving your house.
- Most people in general don't buy used when there is a new option available
- A majority of newer collectors are doing it more as a hobby - ie they want their shit in perfect condition. Not a beat up used copy.
- Labels milk their cash cows for everything they are worth, so they can re-invest in newer acts (ideally) or offset losses incurred by putting out newer acts
- They know people will buy it
- It was a RSD release, made specifically to get people to go into a store and pick it up. A bargain bin record won't bring anybody new into a record store.
Yes, it's a cash grab. But it's the music business. Everything is a cash grab at the major level.

unwound reacted to travis in so hot cash is back and its worse
There's a few of you that "get it".
People were abusing the codes like crazy to buy vinyl. Mainly due to this message board. Of course that wasnt going to last forever.
Vinyl has been removed from the Hot Cash promotions going forward.
I haven't been posting here as much just cause my workload has greatly increased lately at the office so I just dont have the time to be on here as much as I was. I still read most stuff on the board, I'm not "hiding" from anything going on here. I just dont feel the need to comment every time someone says something about HT.
You all got some great deals for a while but those crazy sales have ended. There will still be plenty of rad HT vinyl exclusives coming, you're just gonna have to pay full price for them now! Crazy, I know...
Also, Mike Trout is awesome.

I'm sure you don't need my advice, being the "other" resident Casanova of the boards..but just "move-match" her. Don't let two strange gals mess up your game, I believe in you.

Agree, this exact thread already happened two months ago and got locked after pages and pages of speculation and misinformation. HOT CASH WON'T WORK ON VINYL, EVER AGAIN. Get over it and move on.
Lock it up, boys.
