bit sarky

what a gigantic waste of time, money and effort.

Really sorry, dude!

YO - did everyone get their records okay!?? Sorry about the re-used mailers - I try to be as resourceful as possible, but i understand maybe this comes across as cheap or w/e. I also totally ran out of cardboard so was tryna think on my feet hahaha! Were your records alright?! The box definitely wasnt split when i sent them out!!!!

If only they'd do songs without Greg

sorry for the shitty pictures.

YO - sorry for my radio silence - been on tour in Europe with minimal internet connection (and shoddy when I could find it) The company that printed the UK/EU inserts printed them wrong because they're dumb fucks. This will be fixed in the next few days. Records are in and look like this:

TOP!

just wanna thank y'all for your support so far. obviously i'm a far smaller label than BWM so it's cool to have people checking out/buying from my store. you rule!

Yep - quick off the mark - partial refund coming your way!

UK VARIANT COLOURS! Please note: these are guidelines and don't necessarily dictate the final colour of the records.

I spoke with the plants about this, and the ones I am getting aren't done from recycled wax (Gotta Groove's are/were regrinds, though) Also, due to the band having such a large US fanbase, I'm trying my best to keep int'l shipping as low as possible for any variant collectors etc

UK/EURO press is: /100 Half & Half (Clear/Black) /200 Frosted Clear w/ Black & Red Splatter /200 'Mystery Splatter' (Disclaimer: The mystery splatter is exactly that - completely random splatter records. No idea how they will look until they arrive. Each one is bound to be completely unique!)

the explosion at the end of 'Halcyon: Beautiful Days' is one of the finest moments in music of all time. it's so goddamn good in that 3xLP/DVD live set.

FUCKING ORDERED. I AM SO BROKE.

Ordered this with some pre-order items so wont be able to pick it up for a little while. Went to the only remnant of a record store we have in town and found it sitting on their shelves. Would anyone like me to grab it for them? Would just take face value + shipping! (I am UK based)

Just realised last night this has the same release date as the new Weezer record.

Obviously I'm biased, but I really don't think you'll be as offended by this record as you all seem to think you will.

dischord beatdown in 'MY WORLD' is so good.

It will have the same art, give or take a few minor differences. I'm working on some pretty cool colourways for my press though.

Just so y'all are aware, my label BLACK LAKE RECORDS (http://facebook.com/blacklakerecords) are doing an exclusive UK/EURO press of this record, scheduled to also be released October 7th. 3 exclusive variants. PUMPED to finally announce it!

you guys are aware of how producers help 'shape' songs and so on? entirely plausible that good band + will yip = bad results.

"kiss me with the cherry lipstick" is one of the worst lyrics i think i've ever heard.

at any given moment, i would almost always rather be drinking a PBR and listening to 'Strange' by Built to Spill.
