Yeah, seriously. Luckily, there's only one of his LPs that I didn't buy when you could get them for ~$15. I would love to get Inside of Emptiness (the only one I don't have), but as for now, I haven't been willing to pay what they usually go for ($150-200). Someday...

Yeah, I totally agree with you ^. After John left the band again, I wasn't sure that I would follow them much anymore, but since Josh was his replacement, I had some hope. I was pretty impressed with their new one though, and am looking forward to what Josh can bring on their next album. And I'm also hoping for another John solo album. Supposedly he has one in the works, but he's pretty quiet about all of it. I was hoping that with him leaving the band that his solo output would pick up again, and that I'd actually get to see him solo live. Maybe someday...

Yeah, I was a little disappointed with it being in a single sleeve, but it still looks pretty nicely done. And I could do without the 3D, but whatever. Happy to have it, it's a pretty sweet record.

John Frusciante (their guitar player for most of their popular albums) is one of my all-time favorite musicians. His solo stuff really, really good, in my opinion. That might be some of the reason why I have a soft spot for RHCP. I really like a lot of their stuff, but I can definitely see the bro aspect of some of it. Didn't care for this album as much though, because it was with Dave Navarro instead of JF, so I think I'll pass for that price.

still waiting for it to go through...

Not to say that I'm a huge Best Buy fan. But, just the fact that all of the other local music places have closed down, and even the big box stores are not really carrying music anymore.

Yeah, I just went to one closest to my parent's house to look for a cd for mother's day. They have drastically reduced their cd selection (and I think they may have only had the Queen box set as their vinyl selection). It's also the only place to buy music in about a 45 mile radius from their town (besides Walmart and Target). Kind of sad.

Hey Travis, think you could get the Foo Fighters - Skin and Bones LP for the online store? I would love to use my 15% off coupon on that one...

What's the size on that poster? And is it on pretty heavy paper? I am considering that Rise pre-order now too.

That would be cool. I'd re-buy it if it was released as 2 double LPs.

Yeah, the next round doesn't include the signed poster and isn't numbered. And it is no longer on 180g vinyl. Just "heavyweight colored vinyl." To keep it special for the people that ordered during the first pre-order.

such as?

I was kind of disappointed in the M83 7". It has one song on it, a non-album song, and you can see why they left it off the album. $8 or $9 for one crappy song... Oh well.

So, just to make sure I read it right. This may go up online sometime around/after Thursday, but might not be actually the real thing until next Tuesday, but it is supposed to go out for sale at stores next Tuesday? I realize they you have no control over this though, Travis, so no worries if it happens different than you say. Also, I know you probably can't announce anything until it's official, but any hints on any of your upcoming projects?

I think I'll wait to see how much I spend tomorrow for RSD and then think about getting a couple of those records.

Yeah, I thought about ordering these when they first went on sale, but hesitated, and now I'm not sure how available they are. A local store had then a while back, I'll have to check if they still do.

My OCD would prevent me from altering the pressings from how they originally were Yeah, same. It would seem weird to have a copy of a record where parts of it were from different pressings.

Is this new pressing going to be /2000 like Vheissu, or just out of /1000 again? Sorry if that has already been discussed.

Yeah, it's tour only I guess.

Yeah, all of the "Experience Hendrix" reissues are really nicely done.

I swear this tour didn't have a Utah date. I checked a bunch of times when they were doing the 7" presale, and was disappointed to not see one. And now on Twitter, I just saw, "thanks SLC, see you next time." So, it did stop here and I somehow heard nothing about it. I'm so bummed...

For the buyer, yes, that's a pretty sweet deal.

Mine still says fulfilling order, so I'm guessing I missed out. Oh well, here's to trying for the next press.

Scratch that, reverse it. I'm hoping that that isn't the reason why my order hasn't shipped yet. Not enough sleep...
