    Pelican's drummer makes Lars Ulrich sound technical and creative.

    Likewise. Actually, City of Echoes changed my taste in music completely. It was also the first vinyl that I ever bought. I'm forever grateful to Pelican for making music. Plus they're sweet dudes. 
     
     
    Everyone always gives Larry Herweg a bad rep. His style may be different, but personally I think that he is perfect for Pelican.

    $3.19 for each sheet of bristol board before tax. One sheet can make one record sleeve, two sheets makes one gatefold. Each cartridge of ink for the printer costs $40 and the printer requires 7 cartridges. Two black, two white, one red, one yellow, and one blue. Thats $280 just in ink. The sound of animals fighting record sleeves I made used a whole cartridge of blue, red, and black. I bought a paper cutter so I wouldnt have to cut 60 sheets of paper with a razor one at a time. That cost me $140 since its considered industrial size. It takes me about one hour to put together a gatefold. Half hour for single sleeve. So, since I made 30 record sleeves for that project I spent around $450 in supplies. I made a profit of $150 in exchange for my 20+ hours of folding and gluing. Thats not even including the $40 i spent in supplies at first when I was sampling different types of paper. Basically I made a profit of $110 which at minimum of 20 hours gives me $5 an hour. Since I had to split profits with my friend for letting me use his printer that puts me at $2.50 an hour for a total profit of $55! Yay! And if youd like to include the printer cost shared between me and my friend then were in the hole by about $4800.
     
    Oh, and I charged $4 for shipping. Shipping cost was $3.27, record mailers cost $1.20. I lost $.47 every order I shipped.

    could you explain why? i'll never own the prints--they're all well over $100 now in the secondary market. they're not readily available for sale from the artist. this isn't robbing any profits from anybody. it's really good artwork and fits this well. would it make you feel better if tom whalen or mondo was mailed a check?
    you could make the argument that none of the sleeves made here are "original". they're meant to be (awesome) makeshift substitutes for a shitty original product, or instances where a paper sleeve wasn't included and is needed. the fee isn't really for the artwork, it's for andrew's time, supplies, and printing equipment. maybe it boils down to views on piracy, but i'm sorry i don't feel bad about having a copied image on a record sleeve that'll sit in my shelf. and since i don't have the time, supplies, or printing equipment to make something like this myself, i have no problem paying someone else to do it.

    I cant get behind a singer who does shitloads of covers, gets mad at his fans when they ask for a cover, cant carry a tune, drives like a student driver, rips off all of his heroes and doesnt like a fat ass.

    It's neither Hüsker Dü nor Sugar, so I'd say no.
     
    On a serious note, try giving it a wipe down with isopropyl alcohol.

    Here's how I feel: it's obvious to me that the band's intent for Machina was not what I bought in 2000 and eventually heard when Machina II "leaked." While I love the sequence and the songs of Machina/Machina II, I've always felt that it was incomplete. I want to know the story. If the reissue fixes the story and screws with the running order/mix. I'm down. I'll always have the originals to go back to. Billy has done really well at giving things a face lift without ruining the memory and the music for the other albums so far. I trust this will turn out well.

    For a bunch of vinyl enthusiasts, this thread is really highlighting how little some folks know about how records are brought into existence.
