a new MileMarker 45.  new material and all..
 
https://milemarkerband.bandcamp.com/album/s-t-7
 
Milemarker was formed in 1997 by Dave Laney, Al Burian and Ben Davis. The band became known for its combination of post-hardcore punk with new wave electronics, releasing their definitional album Frigid Forms Sell on Lovitt Records in 2000. In 2009, guitarist Dave Laney moved to Hamburg, while bassist Al Burian moved to Berlin. A re-ignition of the band in Germany seemed inevitable; Milemarker returned to the stage in 2015 with Manuel Chittka playing drums and Lena Kilkka on synthesizer and vox. 

The first recording released by this line-up is a two song seven inch. “Conditional Love“ is a robotic, hypnotic electronic rock anthem. “Recognition“ explores the band’s sensitive and optimistic side. New LP coming soon. creditsreleases November 23, 2015

So in 2012 we buy phonograph records from Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters and listen to new album releases on AOL.

yes me too.  I have the originals but a few of them are pretty beat up and my cover for Unsolved is pretty damaged.
 
not to mention that my friend (and fellow VC'er) has a colored s/t that I have never seen before makes me want one of those too.

so I know a few people have been searching for all things Karate / Geoff Farina based.
 
but here's some good news from southern records  
 
Greetings! I bet you forgot we existed, didn't you?  Well, we nearly did as well, but we won't bore you with the details.  Just a few things to mention here. (I edited out everything non Geoff related)

News
Karate - Operation: Sand 7 inch reissue  Back in stock
Geoff Farina - Usonian Dream Sequence CD Coming soonish
 
Karate - Karate LP reissue Right now. we're happy to announce a limited reissue ofKarate's Operation: Sand/Empty There single in late August. Originally released in 1998, the two songs on this 7 inch do not appear on any other releases by the band.
Karate was an American band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1993 by Geoff Farina, Eamonn Vitt and Gavin McCarthy. Jeff Goddard joined on bass in 1995, and Vitt moved to second guitar, before departing in 1997 to pursue a medical career.
Karate’s sound made them something of iconoclasts of the time: punk had broken through to the mainstream and most “alternative” bands were wearing flannel shirts and growing their hair. Karate’s love of improvised music and classic rock separated them from the pack, and confounded music journalists seeking to pigeon hole them.
During their career, Karate released six studio albums, one double live album, and two EPS on Southern Records, as well as a half a handful of split singles on other labels.
Karate disbanded in 2005, when Farina developed hearing problems due to exposure to high volume music over the 12 years and nearly 700 shows the band had performed up to that time.
Farina has continued to work as a solo artist, and played in quieter bands, including Glorytellers, Ardmore, and The Secret Stars, and also recording as a duo with Chris Brokaw.
As well as Karate, Jeff Goddard has been active with Apology, Grin, Jones Very and The Lune and playing as a guest with artists including Mary Timony and Chris Brokaw.
Gavin McCarthy has also played with The Swirlies, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Beat Circus, Cul de Sac, and Glorytellers. 
Karate's Operation: Sand/Empty there is available in the Southern web store.
Cheers
Rita & all the Southern mail order elves
 
I saw one other link to Geoff's new band here.  http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/112004-exit-verse-%E2%80%93-st-white-12-vinyl-limted-of-350-sitll-available/?hl=karate
 
what's really exciting is that they're repressing the s/t LP.  I wonder if they will repress them all, I know Unsolved is a tough one to find.
 
anyway, hope someone digs this thread.

I love them. Easy to open and close, holds a lot of records. And very sturdy. My only thing is I would recommend putting caster wheels on the bottom before filing them. Once filled they are heavy as shit.

Thanks for this. Looks like a better packaging option than Rough Trade. Order switched.

Cool, did the same. That's fairly reasonable for two records shipped from the UK

I ordered them from Norman records, came out to $55 shipped. That includes the extra strong packaging option for another couple bucks.
