Oh wow, I've been had! Nah, doesn't make much of a difference, I still think it's worth what I'm paying for it. But just out of curiosity, what's your source for saying that there are 50/25? Because I asked Duncan about it a while ago, and his reply was that he thought there were no more than 10 made (yet he didn't know the exact number), and it looked to me as this seller on eBay knew what he was talking about since he mentioned to whom these 5 copies was given to. Not calling you a liar! Just curious!

Thanks! The only difference from the track listing (as far as I could see from the picture on eBay), seems to be that they've snuck in "Another day (Reprise)" between "Hellbound" and "That's fine (Smile)". So basically, I get a bonus track. I don't have the equipment to rip vinyl though. Sorry!

I'm so excited I just had to come on here and make a new thread about it: I just won the rejected test pressing of Snuff's "Reach" album on eBay. It has a different mix and track listing than the released version, and it's out of 5, so it's pretty damn unique. Being a Snuff collector, I had basically settled with the fact that I would never ever own this. I am shaking. This is quite possibly the highlight so far in my record collecting "career". I've never spent so much money on a record before, but right now I don't even care. Holy shit, I need a drink... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110506601918&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Now I just need to find that damn "Gandara and friends" 7".

I tried Hoegaarden a few weeks ago, but to me (and my friends) it tasted like a really bland beer. Seemed like a really watered-out beer that didn't really taste too much of anything at all. And yet I keep hearing from a lot of people that it's supposed to be a really good beer. What the hell? Is there something wrong with me and my friends? Tonight I've had Erdinger, Vedett (x3), Alhambra 1925 and San Miguel. All great beers in my opinion.

In "Because of the shame" I totally misheard "...with tears in her eyes" as "...with tears in Hooters" Ooops. (To my defense, I wasn't paying attention to the lyrics, I just kinda registered that Hooters line. So I figured it was some sort of break-up song, haha) I approve of this album. I do have a suspicion that it may not stand the test of time though. But for now, I am digging it.

Ordered Leatherface. Amazing album.

Excited for IHTSL! But still waiting/hoping to see some Snuff stuff get the color treatment eventually.

Got mine today.

Oh I believe you. I spotted him right away. I am in the process of watching BoB for the first time (I've gotten through 7 episodes so far), and just yesterday I was also thinking about how these guys probably have a lot to thank Sobel for....

Talk about being shitfaced.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a86pQZFcLEY&hl=en&fs=1

Haha, that Steve Martin quote made me laugh. "I suppose it all began when I came out of the womb. I looked back up at my mother and thought to myself, 'That's the last time I'm coming out of one of those.' " - Stephen Fry

It's from the movie "Der Untergang"

My ALMOST complete Mike Hale collection. The only thing missing is (as far as I know) the test pressing for the split with Chris Wollard : Broken With No Hope 12": Test pressing (#2/4), black vinyl (/100), white vinyl (/400) Lives Like Mine 12": Test pressing (#15/15), black/clear vinyl (/300), grey/red vinyl (/700) Mike Hale/Chris Wollard 7": Black vinyl (/500), clear vinyl (/250), pink vinyl (/250) Mike Hale/Kevin Seconds 7": Test pressing, clear blue vinyl (/300), clear yellow vinyl (/500), black vinyl (/700) Mike Hale/Joey Cape 7": Test pressing (#17/20), clear yellow vinyl (/1000), clear brown vinyl (/500) Mike Hale/Mike Reed 7": Test pressing (#1/6, with special test pressing cover), green/black vinyl (/284), red/white/black vinyl (/300)

Oh dear, look what I accidentally posted. Ooops!

Haven't got mine either. I wrote them about a week ago asking about it, but didn't get a reply.

Got some sweet test pressings coming my way: Mike Hale/Mike Reed Split 7" Hot Water Music - The New What Next Hot Water Music/The Casket Lottery Split 7"

Just so this doesn't escalate: I'll volunteer to get the fuck over it. You're welcome.

http://www.myspace.com/frankieostubbs Pretty cool song, in my opinion. Can't wait for the full length.

Sweet! I'll wait and order through VC.

Mush is miles above anything else they've ever done in my opinion. But if you digged the songs on the HWM split, then Horsebox would also be a safe bet.

For someone who started losing interest in The Hold Steady just as I discovered the genius of Franz Nicolay's solo stuff, I can't really claim that I'm too bummed out. In fact, if this means he will focus more on his solo career, then I'm actually pretty excited! But yeah, I understand that Hold Steady fans are saddened by this news. Oh, and Andy, I just received both copies of his 10" not too long ago. I can see how on all parts this record was made with love and care. Everything about it is fantastic!

Hahaha!

HAHAHAHA! I almost shit my pants laughing.

Color/pressing for A Flight and Finding The Rhythms?
