Ah, patience. I've heard of it. Not too familiar with it, though.

NY resident here. Does anyone know if it will be possible to order this UK-exclusive 1975 RSD live LP? I'm a big fan of that album and would love to have this in my collection. Happy to work out payment and shipping with someone over the pond if anyone's willing

Super talented and really nice guys. Can't wait to see what the new record sounds like. Looks like they just started tracking it a few days ago.

DUDE. Daisyhead <3

didn't realize they outsourced to MN, lol. That place is in my backyard; I have several buddies who have worked there forever and I used to work at Equal Vision back in '06/'07, which shares the space and is owned by the same dude that runs the label... that place is so dysfunctional, haha. Aaaaanyway, all of that sucks. No Sleep was the shit for a long time, I guess it makes sense then that I've not heard much goodness come from them for awhile now.

I do know they were supposed to support MCS on their recent farewell tour but one of the members couldn't do it. They all live in different states and work full time jobs; they record albums by sending protools sessions to each other and recording in home studios. I wish so bad that they'd play shows but I don't know when/if it'll happen. Obviously there's not a whole lot of appeal for any label in a band like that, however good the jams are. Curious what you mean about "whatever [no sleep] is right now." I guess I haven't been paying attention, though if I think about it I don't really know/listen to any bands on the label currently where at one point I listened to a ton. Did they do a roster cut or something?

I think the No Sleep deal soured shortly after they signed, or at least the label has ended up not providing much benefit to them. They don't really tour; perhaps that's part of the reason No Sleep hasn't done much with/for them. My understanding is that they do everything on their own for the moment, hence the kickstarter...not sure NS is even still in the picture

74R can you go be an annoying piece of shit on another message board so the rest of us can get back to talking about wax and being decent to one another?

Really hoping this gets funded so I thought I'd post it here. If you're not familiar, check these guys out.

Bitched at KRM customer support about getting Balance and Composure's new one a week after street date and actually got this 1 day after street on Saturday. Not sure if it's related or coincidence, but I was pleased. Anyone notice what is likely a lyrical typo? The second stanza of "Pol Roger" turns into the second half of "You With Me' lyrics at the midway point, starting with "Wrong, I'm certain... I took pictures of both and they look identical, so given the nuances of the handwritten lyrics, I'd assume this was a first press fuckup. Cool? Eh. I'd rather have the full lyrics... http://imgur.com/a/iVEXT

It IS pretty sparse, color-wise...however, I don't think they did anything to hide that fact when they posted the mocks. The mockups were pretty spot on, actually.

These are the same promos I got. As someone who already has an OP of every LP (including of New Surrender; don't ask what I paid for it on eBay), I was most looking forward to what is contained in the booklet they put together for this: a detailed account of the thoughts and feelings that went into each record. Deon did a really good job putting this all together and I'm very happy to have this little window into their world to peer through now. There's a fantastic quote on the first page from english modernist and writer Virgina Woolf about how significant and "complete" emotions about something can only be truly formed well after the event has passed, and the band uses this, along with an epilogue in the form of the song "Time & Confusion"'s lyrics in their entirety to bookend a really, really nice account of the band's career from start to finish. TL;DR: i'm happy as a pig in shit rn

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I see no good reason for it, either (it's not like the record is extra long or anything). Just laziness. A real bummer.

Having purchased several copies of this LP only to find out the pressing was apparently just done this way, I gave up trying to find a copy where the intro to Big Casino isn't slightly clipped (it seems to start about a half second into the song, so that fast single-guitar octave intro seems out of time with the rest of the band coming in). I'm curious if anyone has ever found a copy that doesn't have this issue? And also, I'm noticing their website has an "exclusive blue reissue" of Chase This Light--what are the chances they maybe cut it from a revised master? I realize this probably sounds OCD/neurotic, but it drives me nuts. Throws the whole intro timing off.
