"It's an awesome record and contains songs"

Hahaha!

Little White God is still available here:

The only thing it says right now on the site is that it's been hacked. :-o

Never Ender on black?

I got this very same color in the mail today. It looks even prettier in real life! So happy.

What the what now?? 4th unreleased album??!!

Got mine today. Clear green with a tiny bit of black smoke.

Picked up this and Horace Pinker's "Pop Culture Failure". Woohoo!

About 500 for each color.

Seeing that he already did a Chris/Mike split 7"(Wollard/Hale), ask him if he'll ever do a Chris/Mike split with McCaughan/Park!

Hey, in that first picture that's me in the far upper right corner! (black t-shirt, glasses)

And that totally was a night to remember for a long, long time. Amazing performances by Chris and Mike, and the first two guys playing were pretty good too! And yeah, the atmosphere was just amazing. Picked up Mike's Beans & Toast CD, and listened to it the next morning...while eating beans and toast.

PS! I noticed clips of Chris' set has been posted on youtube.

I'm flying to London tomorrow and seeing Mike/Chris both on saturday and monday. Can't wait!

anyone got any insider info on when the regular versions of this are going to be ready and what colors?

From mail-correspondance with Matt @ No Idea:

"the regular pressing will be 2000 copies.. there will be 4 colors.. 500 of each.. I think its red, blue, green and something.. I missed the last color.. the A side record will be broken down like this.. the c side will be mixed"

When uploading pictures to Flickr, am I the only one who reads "Save this batch" as "Save this biatch"?

It's not very often I use Flickr, but when I do, that seriously gets me every damn time. I guess being a Norwegian, the word "batch" is not something I've come across all too often, yet the word "bi(a)tch" is!

Yeah, I've been wondering if the white Caution is as rare as /30 as well. I've seen a lot of them on eBay and on people's lists. And I was kinda late in ordering from No Idea when they started selling them, but I still got white...

Ford Focus Titanium 2008. I've had it for about a month now, and I couldn't be happier with it.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Bleeder yet!

Totally serious. If I send you photos of my junk will you hunt down some black metal wax for me.

Of your WHAT now?!

I wouldn't know where to begin looking for black metal stuff. Vinyl isn't all that popular around here. (That's why I have to order all my vinyl from the US). Guess I'll just have to live with the fact that I'll never get to see your "junk".

English not being my native language, I don't even know what two of the three words in the title means. Haha. And I'm too lazy to go look it up. But anyway, I'm really looking forward to it. In my opinion Casino Royale was the best Bond movie in a really long time.

Haha, no it was just me trying to be funny. Because I hate the term "out of the closet".

As a gay man myself, I guess I should probably contribute to this thread in some way.

Well, I just wanted to say that I applaud those of you who actively try to cut out words like "faggot" from your vocabulary. Personally, I've never let it bother me too much. But a report published here in Norway a few years ago stated that as much as 25% of young (I can't quite remember what age-span the report covered, but I think it was something like 16-25) gays and lesbians had at some point seriously considered or tried to commit suicide. And god knows how many "succeeded". Luckily I'm part of the other 75%, but I can totally understand that when society has been telling you that you're unnatural and sick, it can eventually become too much. When you're an insecure 15 year old kid, and your friend calls something "totally gay", your other friends will probably forget what was said in about 5 minutes. But that 15 year old kid might remember the exact phrasing of that sentence for a long time. So yeah, I think it's important for people to be aware of what they're actually saying. So even if it doesn't bother someone to call something "gay", and it doesn't bother ME to hear it, at some point it will bother someone for sure.

But on a more positive note, I've seen a LOT of change happen here in Norway in just the last 5 years or so. I don't know if it's the same in the US, but around here society has really opened up its eyes. Personally, I've never had a problem with being gay in the years I've been out of the cupboard. (I'm 26 now, and I guess I started telling people when I was about 20-21) Of course, I don't exactly go out in the street and yell out "Hey, I'm gay!!" But every single one of my friends and co-workers have been 100% supportive. And listening mostly to punk music, it's been really cool to witness how the punk scene has been on the forefront of gay rights, and accepting people for who they are. (At least that's how I've seen it)

So maybe I've just been incredibly lucky, but things are constantly improving here in Norway, and I hope the same goes for the USA.

But as for "gay pride"? I'm not proud of being gay. I'm proud of being a somewhat decent human being that try to look out for the people I care about.

Some dude just walked up to me and kissed me. I think he said his name was Chris.

My guess is that it is from the new pressing.

From No Idea: "The newer pressing is all one color.

They're mixed gray and have a lot of colors bits strewn around. Not enough difference to be able to tell any of them apart, but there's only 250."

And 2nd pressing grey looks like this:

Hope that helps!

If I was a big fan (and didn't already spend $45 000 on a new car today!), I would be all over these. They look amazing!

Frank on this board. He said earlier that he got the numbers directly from Var at No Idea.
