Wtf, even the CD is $17. I get that this is more 90s nostalgia, but they're really going for authenticity with that CD price.

No Idea is usually pretty good about keeping things in stock. I imagine they'll have new pressings of what you're looking for soon. HWM is basically a never-ending piggybank for the label.

Up for preorder at SRC now too.

Dang, I like that a lot. I'd be all over this if I didn't have a copy already.
-
The fact that these won't require special turntables is a good move, but I still think this idea will crash and burn very quickly.

I love the lyrics, the message, and the subtext of the video that somehow our fucking idiot president got elected on the idea that America wasn't great and winning on the votes of people who are far more pro-USA than me. By voting for Trump, all these dipshits were implying that they didn't like where the country was heading, but really they just didn't like that we had our first black president who was going to be followed by our first woman president.
Soapbox nonsense done with, this song is very blah. Any energy these songs might have had has been overproduced out of them. This album has now been downgraded from "yay, new Frank Turner on vinyl" to "ok, maybe I'll still buy the digital" to "welp, guess I'm going to wait for a full album stream before I spend money on what is shaping up to be a huge disappointment."

had to preorder this, reminds my of the menzingers :-)
Heh, I recommended this band to a couple of friends and when I asked them what they thought, they said "Oh, you mean that new Menzingers record? Yeah, it's pretty good!" One of my friends said that if I'd just played SLS for him without telling him what band it was, he would have totally thought it was a new Menzingers album.
I mean hey, there's far worse bands to emulate! And this album is definitely a contender for AOTY.

Stoked on this, meant to post it the other day when I saw the PO go up. I thought for sure they were gonna call it a day after the last album came out and they barely toured on it. No single out yet, but here's an article on it...

Woof, I do not care for that new song at all.

I never knew that, love it though, fuck the flippers - go the music! And fun!
Bring on May
Not only that, but who the hell in their right mind is selling Red Scare releases? Everything they put out is great, so the "rarity" of an album doesn't matter if I have no desire to sell it ever.

I think he's finally learned to slow down a bit. My opinion of them took a dive with that last album but seeing them a few months ago reinvigorated me. They really impressed. Now they have ANOTHER new line-up so he must be a pain to work with. I like these songs enough to get them in this format though.
I think the dude's got a pretty nasty ego problem, but wasn't one of the guys kicked out of the band for sexual assault allegations and another one just straight up quit in the middle of a show?
Whatever the case, I'm kinda over this band. The first two EPs were great, the first LP was ok, and I think I only listened to the last album maybe two times. Acoustic Beach Slang is not a thing that I'll ever be interested in.

It's different, but I like that new track. Still wavering on preordering this one.

Kind of bummed that 30 dollar is considered reasonable nowadays.
Compared to the $90 median price on Discogs for Cheating at Solitaire, it's a hell of a lot more reasonable. I bet the person that dropped $170 on it 4 months ago is kicking themselves.
That said, I probably would only listen to these once or twice. So in that regard, yeah, $30 is unreasonable for me.
-
It's a bummer, but I'm not really surprised. These dudes barely ever toured, and the last album didn't seem to get any attention. Even here, this thread just died after it came out. I liked the album fine, but it's no The Future Is Canceled.
Here's a slightly longer message from their Facebook:
QuoteHulloh, friends! I guess we gotta do this here and now. We are no longer a band. Bum Out City, USA. We had a great time, doh! We are still the best of friends and we aim to keep it that way. Probably about half the reason why we are no longer going to continue with this band. We can't thank YOU ALL enough for the support, kind words, shows, conversations, floors to sleep on, food to eat and general shenanigans! We are all continuing with music with each other and without. We're very happy with what we've done with these 10 plus years as Captain, We're Sinking, but it's time to stop.
BE COOL, PEOPLE!
-C,WS!

This band is so god damn good. Super stoked for this.
-
To look at the poster, I'd think Minus The Bear is opening for The Coathangers, which would make it far more likely that I would go to the show so that I wouldn't be out too late on a weeknight.
-
Welp, too bad they went the KRM route for this one. I'm happy to have a green copy coming my way and I'm happy knowing that some dipshit out there spent too much on a hoodie, a photo tee, a pin, and a patch just to get a blue copy.
I'll be keeping this record forever.

Why the fuck is the Seattle show on a Wednesday!? Uuuuuuuuugh.

I'mma gonna lose so much money
I prefer to think of it the other way around... I'm losing money by NOT getting some of these deals!
This is great, and entirely too dangerous for my bank account right now.

Anyone have this boxset for sale? Thanks!
I might be willing to part with it, PM me an offer.

I'd love to have this, but not for that price. This is a band I'd love to see a boxset from someday.

While I inherently agree with you overall, and this video is the type of shit that's usually very easy for me to ignore, Dan Harmon still made this video and thought enough of it to release it out into the world. And this wasn't some dipshit teenager doing something irresponsible to their future, it was a grown-ass man who thought simulated rape of an infant was funny. It's the 21st Century, and the internet doesn't forget unless you've got the serious cash to make things disappear for good. He was likely going to have to answer for this eventually, and that's his cross to bear and he has literally nobody to blame but himself for any backlash he receives, including R&M getting canceled.
Now, that being said, people change. He might have thought this shit was funny almost a decade ago but he doesn't now. That's fine, although how he thought it was funny to begin with is a mystery to me. Then again, 10+ years ago I thought dead baby jokes were funny in a shocking way, but I would never dare laugh at that shit now that I've had friends who've had kids. Hell, I still think this is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever read on the internet. I do still love some good gallows humor, as long as the joke is on how fucked up the "comedian" is and not the darkness of the acts themselves.
Harmon's apologies for this and his sexual misconduct allegations have been sincere in my opinion, and they point to him having grown as a person since. Same goes for James Gunn. I guess my point is, if we're going to hold celebrities and entertainers accountable for past transgressions, we should also be willing to accept sincere apologies. These guys have done the apology part right, unlike Kevin Spacey whose apology was half-assed at best and inadvertently tied being gay to sexually abusing minors. But apologies don't recuse you from consequences, even long after the fact. Like I said, if Dan Harmon loses his job over this, he's got literally one person to blame: Dan Harmon.
Also, context: We have an admitted sex offender (among other heinous crimes) in the White House right now, and we're all just left crossing our fingers that we can replace him in 2 years.
Whoa, didn't expect to write that much about things that aren't the vinyl release. To get back on topic, I'd love to pick this up, but I would probably listen to it 1-2 times, and I'm really trying to curtail my spending on vinyl. I'm probably better off getting the download for it.
