Emo Revival

At $500, it's a no-brainer. Pro-Ject RPM1 Carbon: http://www.musicdirect.com/p-278907-pro-ject-rpm-1-carbon-turntable.aspx

 

The MMF2.2 is a $300 table selling for $500 and the Thorens even a step below that.

 

Thanks Slinch!

So I'm looking at a new turntable in the $500 range and was thinking about either a Throens or a Music Hall. The two specifically I'm looking at are the MMF2.2 and TD158. Any thoughts on either of those two?

 

Fuck it. I splurged on the clear 180g. It's not like I have anything better to spend my money on. Well except for my grandmothers surgery...

 

Jesus christ man, priorities....

Hello Europe, HHV has both titles ready for pre order:

Cheerio,

Just fyi I'd be careful about ordering these because of the text of the do not announce email

 

Good Afternoon,

 

Many of you are starting to get your hands on our April 21^st new release book. In that book you will see two modest mouse reissues – one for “Building Nothing Out Of Something” and “Interstate 8.” THESE SHOULD NOT BE ON ANY WEBSITES. Please do not put these on any preorder sites or web stores until 3/25. The band will be announcing on 3/25. Do not put this anywhere until then.

 

Please keep this off all sites on 3/25. If anyone begins to announce prior to 3/25, they may run the risk of not receiving product. Thank you for understanding.

You guys I just got a call to schedule an interview at a big hospital in Philly to do counseling for them. I am freaking out

Also waiting on Bull Moose to ship. Excited to see what that 7" looks like now.

Fairly plain, says demos on both sides

We got these in at work yesterday, amazing release. The 7" has its own jacket inside of the LP jacket. Pretty sweet. Love that they can do all this crazy stuff and still keep the price reasonable.

Can I ask, why Lampshades on Fire? It sounds like Float On lite. Even uses the same buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-bu-buuuuhaa

 

Honestly can't tell you, but its one of the ones that has been stuck in my head since I heard it on friday

To me it sounds like a natural progression from We Were Dead. The band hasn't sounded the same on any two releases and thats one thing I really like about them. You never really know what to expect with them. As for them being a two different bands between the 90's and now I disagree. Issac still has those same out there introspective lyrics, talks about the west and weird stuff, and they use a lot of the same distortion (my wife calls it the empty tea kettle noise) and tones, as well as horns that they've used on a ton of releases

Gave it my first listen last night. "Pistol" is, by all accounts and measures, fucking intolerable. Almost as intolerable as a Ween song. (I went for the easy joke- I don't actually dislike Ween that much).

 

I'm really digging most the rest of the record though. Some tracks I actually thought, "This is some of the best Modest Mouse I've ever heard." And I never said that about anything on the last album. We'll see how often it makes the rotation though... guessing about as much as the last one which is pretty much never. Or it could be my summer record the way Good News was 10 years ago even though a bunch of douchebags ruined it by liking it or whatever.

 

Jumping in to agree. Lampshades On Fire, Coyotes, Be Brave, and Sugar Boats are awesome. Really I enjoyed the whole album aside from Pistol, but even that is growing on me

Oh that makes sense. With Polaris' Pete and Pete soundtrack coming next month I may have to get this to round out the Nickelodeon collection lol

 

Way to be part of the problem

 

While the promo images with details are being finalized, here are some less cryptic reposts from last night. Everything in detail will be announced later today and on sale TOMORROW around 12 Noon Est #Enjoythetoons #enjoytheriderecords #dougfunny #thebeets #killertofu #redandstimpy #rockosmodernlife #therugrats #reptar #nicktoons #nickelodeon And for those wondering #ETR will still be as functional as ever with many surprise releases in the works, this is just a fun little side project that has been in the works for quite awhile

 

Dear god. I thought vinyl hit its low point with the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack, but this takes it to a much lower point. To think that other records had to wait for this to be pressed

Pretty sure it's the exact same tracklist of some Nickelodeon compilation album I got from a cereal box or something as a kid.

 

 

Edit: it's fucking this. The Rocko picture matches.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Nickelodeon-Nicktoons-Various/dp/tracks/B0000063EK/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1

If I would've known as a child, that one day I could own a vinyl record of people covering this, I'd know that everything would be OK.

 

Amazing

So it's (un)officially a Doug covers 7" and an LP of Nickelodeon theme songs. Welcome to 2015 folks.

 

Preview he posted that clearly shows Rocko

 

 

Edit: theres also a picture on IG that shows the back with all the songs. 41 songs on the lp...

Thread keeps getting better and better

No no no, maybe it's Enjoy The TOONS....

 

Yup, go to enjoythetoons.com redirects to ETR's store

All those years of longing for hi-fidelity re-recordings of Doug and Rugrats songs are finally being realized.

 

I guess we can all quit collecting records now, since our collections will be complete

Oh, and this is a different release I believe. 

 

 

My money is on that being a record of songs from Doug. Looks like Skeeters shirt.

Super secret sneak peak of the special edition cover

 

I hope the secret packaging stays a secret and nobody recognizes the cover when they rush into their record store on hell morning.

 

That would be amazing. 

But shops have successfully ordered it?

 

Nope its just a null listing. Basically there to let people know it exists and will be available to order in the future so they can add the info into their systems.

 

HI I MISS YOU.

 

HI I MISS YOU TOO. All of the small talk people actually. My life has been consumed by counseling and school for the last ~10 months but I graduate at the end of april and will come into a ton of free time to bullshit with you guys!

Damn that was quick.

 

All that means is its not available to order yet, just letting people know its available, it is by no means sold out yet

 

Edit: forgot to add, posting in a brand new thread

Agreed. Absolutely love this band. We've got more in store from these gents so keep an eye out on the Jump Start Facebook. 

 

Awesome! I tweeted them asking about new music and they said soon, glad its with you guys!

Amazing band that more people need to get excited about. This 7" and the LP you guys put out are phenomenal

Man. Today has been the worst day ever so far. And not just cuz it's a Monday. Overall has been shitty.

 

You speak the truth, whomever decided today would be a very shitty day is working hard to make sure that comes true
