I was able to grab one. I thought about coming here to post about it, but they were all sold out by then so I didn't bother. I'm pretty excited for it though. Expensive, but mwY are one of my all time favorite bands and it'll be cool to have an original Kafanov painting. 
I had missed the email this morning but my brother texted me about it at like 10:18 and by then, there were like 7 of the Bubblegum Brain variant left, and 6 or so of the painted sleeve with no vinyl. I think by around 10:35 they were all sold out. 
It's kind of odd that they paired these painted covers with the I Never Said I Was Brave EP. With the artwork style, I would've thought they'd pair them with some sort of special edition of the self-title EP or LP. 

@erousso win-win! FORTHEBOOOOOARDS!

Yeah, at the Salt Lake show, a DJ opened and played for 30-45 minutes. Doors were delayed by an hour or so because of "technical difficulties", being the first night of the tour, we were told, but Crosses going on about 2 hours after doors sounds about right.

It is painful to look at the 10C boards, right now. So many pointless, duplicate threads and idiotic bitching and arguing. I get people are excited, but the barrage of fretting and frothing at the mouth is too much. Thank you for reading my bitch about people bitching post. Had to get it out. Carry on.

Haven't received any emails yet, but my card got charged.

Tomorrow at 5am Pacific, we got you! CLICK HERE to go to our leftovers. They all go live at 5am Pacific on Saturday the 25th

Woulda’ laughed if that was the only way to get the STS repress this year.  Missed opportunity.

That’s a whole lotta’ forgettable music.

I wonder if I should comment on their socials(where I'm not banned) that this photo as a cover is a better artistic interpretation than rich's redone artworks the last time. But nah

This is how I felt too. I listened to it a couple of times on streaming when it first came out and thought it was fine, but then kind of forgot about it. But, then I was going to go see them when they came though my town, so I gave it another try and found it a lot more enjoyable. I’m into it. 

I feel ya. All these albums I love having such major anniversaries is really giving me a reality check how old I am and how quickly time goes by. This album came out when I was a junior in high school. Crazy to think it’s been 20 years since that. 

I'm interested to see how it goes. I've almost always received really good sounding records from VMP, while Mondo didn't have the best track record for that. So, I'm hoping that it'll be the good parts of Mondo (cool album art) with the good parts of VMP (pretty good sounding records). Unfortunately, both companies have always been pretty overpriced, so I expect that will continue.

Numero is going to be putting out a lot of great stuff from that vein this summer: Chino Horde, Boys Life, Tsunami, Thumbnail, Boilermaker, and more. So keep an eye out for that. Other bands you should check out (on Numero): Unwound, Bedhead, Native Nod, Bedhead, Codeine, Indian Summer, Current, Bedhead. 

I kind of agree with everyone here but for the sake of having more Isis music in the world, I am glad for the record to exist.  It doesn't fill me with the !!!!! that Isis does, and I'm not a massive Deftones guy anyway, but getting to hear more of that drumming and washy bass is enough for me. 

I want all the Midwest emocore / slow core / indie / post hardcore / whatever heavy stuff Numero presses. I’m all for it. Can’t wait for Boys Life, American Analog Set, Chino Horde, etc boxes / releases this summer. Gonna be an expensive one, but I have a Numero cube for a reason. I’m actually going to Chicago next month and was excited to be able to visit the Numero outlet, but it’s only open on Fridays. 

I actually thought First Ditch Effort was pretty decent, as far as new NOFX music goes. But neither Single or Double Album really did anything for me.

That’s a sweet collection!

Time for a countdown to a countdown to a countdown.
