I don't often pay too much attention to Pitchfork reviews, but I think the way they summed up this album in their best of 2019 list (#42) is perfect...

The thrill of 1000 gecs isn’t just the post-internet omnivorousness with which it connects its various reference points, but how profoundly dumb it is.

I really enjoyed today's entry and looking forward to the interview with Daryl in the next one. Keep up the great writing!

Just pre-ordered! Sammy is a great dude, hope this does well.

They have a few things on Spotify released after the first album. 2 EP's, a mixtape, and this new album, which is excellent.  

here's something else...

True stories of... Pailhead (a collaboration with Ian Mackaye of Minor Threat and Eric Spicer of Naked Raygun)

In this case, what ties does he have to Chicago and Wax Trax and industrial music?

Like Sonic Highways, Grohl’s own musical journey begins in Chicago: While on a family vacation to visit cousins in his early-teens, Grohl was taken to Wrigleyville’s the Cubby Bear – a Cubs bar by day, a punk venue by night – to see his first punk rock show: Chicago’s Naked Raygun. “It just turned my world upside,” Grohl says of the experience. “That night changed everything I knew about music.”

His early teens would have been around the same time as Wax Trax, so I think it's feasible he would have been well aware of them also.

I realize this is a stretch... but maybe at least explains the connection.

Just got an email from EasyStreet about the Weezer 10" for Africa disc I ordered from them this morning.  Any of you guys heard about this?

 

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the Weezer 10” picture disc of Africa was recalled across the country. Every record store in the country received warped copies. They are mostly bowled and the ones that we tested did not affect the playing. Let me know if you’re still interested and I’ll process your order.

can confirm, the one i bought in store yesterday is bowled. seems to play fine though.

has anyone found this in-store? I came up empty in 2 stores that were supposed to have it in stock.

They only work through the camera app on your phone...

yeah, the back of the insert says to run it at 45rpm, and watch through the camera on your phone under a bright light. I tried that, and still couldn't get it to work  :-/

I just got these yesterday from recordstore.co.uk. Took about 2 weeks for delivery. Glad to finally own these. Anyone know where to find Trick on vinyl for a decent price? 

Lufthansa is an awesome airline!

I just got back from Paris today! Here are my 2 cents...

The Bastille district is a cool area. My wife and I found ourselves in that neighborhood several times throughout our visit. Lots of cool shops, bars, etc, and less touristy and less expensive. I also recommend Born Bad records like others have mentioned. There's a "cat cafe" named Cafe de Chats where you can eat and drink while cats roam around for you to play with and pet. There's also The Moonshiner which is a speakeasy behind a pizza shop that makes great cocktails and has friendly bartenders. Lastly, The Bataclan is nearby if you're lucky to catch a show.

Another must-visit in my opinion is Walrus Records. It has a great selection, and also a cafe in front of the store, so if your wife doesn't care so much for vinyl shopping, she can have a coffee or beer while you shop!

If you really want to see the touristy stuff, spend the extra money on a "skip the line" tour. You'll have to follow a tour guide, but it will save you tons of time from waiting in the general admission lines. We used Fat Tire Tours, and thought the guides were really good and informative.

Did anyone else notice the Tracklisting Difference in the Vinyl VS Cd or Itunes. Nothing Major, Above the Bridge is #13 instead of #6. 

The digital download from the LP had the album split into 2 sides, A1-7 and B1-7. That would make Above the Bridge either #6 or #13, depending on how it's numbered...

Good to know - how much was it in-store? The blue is honestly an incredible colour and if there's no tour things I'll go with that. Is the US copy etched and translucent dark blue? Just making sure it's the same as the UK press.

$29.99 - Translucent Dark Blue

Then there's a transparent blue, indies exclusive of some sort, no damn clue if it's UK or US or whatever exclusive. I know it's available in the UK for sure but is it in the US too?

yep, available in the US. Got a copy today at Reckless.

I'm really digging the new album,

loved their first album, but having a hard time getting into this one. Nothing's jumping out as catchy as the first one was... seems like this is more of a grower, but just haven't had a chance to spend much time with it. what are some of your favorite tracks so far?

Okay, but you know what DOES need to be pressed...

this album is excellent. much better than the last, and maybe better than the first as well.

Understood. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

I appreciate you explaining your intentions, but I really don't think you need to justify yourself. Let the art and your artistic decisions speak for themselves, for better or worse. 

Please choose your words carefully. You shouldn't insinuate the rest of us that have an opinion as being lesser fans because we don't want demos and extra stuff. Decomposer is on the short list of my all time favorite albums, but the way I choose to consume it is my choice, and I'd think you'd want to know what your fans are looking for. Rather than come on here and say we mustn't be "core fans", maybe you should listen to your fans and understand we want options for how we consume your music and support you as a band.

I've been pretty stoked for the upcoming show this Saturday in Chicago, but now I'm doubting if I'm a "core" enough fan to enjoy it. Maybe I should sell my tickets and buy the album with the money I make back.

I'm aware I'm being a bit dramatic, but it's a fine line to tread when artists attempt to explain themselves on the internet and convey the wrong message in the process. 

EDIT: I also realize I called your artistic decision "junk" in my first post, which is an unfair comment. Sincere apologies for that.
