I called them, and actually be spoke to someone, he confirmed while I was on the phone that he got the pictures and that they would get back to me tomorrow.

Appreciate the heads up. Decided to not be lazy, here are my splits.

Anyone else get some severe seam splits? Mine are pretty much blown out. Contacted Benchmark and sent the pics, hoping they can do something for me.

 

Mine has some insane splits also. No pictures at the moment, but please let me know if you hear back from Benchmark. I'll probably email them tomorrow.

Has anyone been to a show yet? I haven't preordered because I wanted to buy a copy in person but not 100% sure if they are selling any vinyl copies on the tour. 

Now officially sold out, at 750 copies being pressed.

I know it's a stretch, but if anyone ends up with the demo tapes and wouldn't mind parting with them, I'll pay for that alone.

It only hums on the phono input channel, yes. It also hums when all speakers are turned off and only headphones are plugged in. It also hums regardless of whether music is playing or not, as long as it is on and set to phono the hum is there. 

I watched TV via the amp earlier today (set to the tuner input) and it was perfectly normal. 

Hey folks. I apologize if this is a simple fix but I am not too savvy yet when it comes to things like this.

Last night we had a power surge that knocked out power for about 2 minutes. Today I decided to swap out the cartridge on my turntable that has been there for a few years before turning it on. When I flipped over to Phono on my amplifier (Yamaha A-S300) there was a very loud hum that was not present before the power surge and the cartridge swap. I unplugged my turntable (U-Turn Orbit) to narrow the problem down and the hum continued with the table unplugged.

I know this doesn't eliminate my potentially-shoddy cartridge swap, because flipping the amp back to Tuner or any other setting eliminates the hum. 
 

I've never swapped cartridges before but I installed the new one (Audio-Technica CN5625AL) just like the old one (an Ortofon that came with the table) had been. Any advice on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many VCers there last night. It was a phenomenal show. Aaron played No One Really Wins acoustically for the VIP crowd, it was pretty great. 

The encore couldn't have been more perfect, and fuck those people yelling between encore songs. 

Yeah, add my voice to the crowd that never thought this would see a release. This is fucking crazy. 

Top 5 album of all time. I'm in for a bonesplatter.

Just as further validation, my order from Amazon showed up today. It is the blue/orange colored. They look fantastic, but I haven't spun them yet.

That looks like Eagles In Drag. Another 8123 band I believe, but I've never listened to them so I don't know the connection to The Maine.

Apparently Chris Hadfield (the Canadian astronaut whom you probably know from his video of Space Oddity) recorded an album in space and preorders went up today.

The vinyl price is absolutely ridiculous, but people might be interested anyway.

34.99 CAD for the vinyl and 14.00 CAD for shipping.

Release: October 9th, 2015.

For what it's worth, I ordered Last Of Us immediately after it went up and just got shipping confirmation. I'd assume more folks will be getting it today, too.

It's a great album, in my opinion. Full Possession Of All Her Powers is a killer summerjam, I've been listening to it too much.

Looks like Call In Dead is streaming on AbsolutePunk: http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=3722623

Here's a band that is one of my favorites but probably lesser-known around here. 

Check out the video for their song "Run" for a good idea of what to expect. 
 

They just linked a preorder for the vinyl at Amazon. Wouldn't be surprised if more retailers popped up closer to release date.

Hey bud, this is probably what you're looking for:

I got the same email. More than a little annoyed at getting a delay notification 5 days after the release day.

Are there any songs in particular that sound sped up?

 

Edit: I just finished it for the first time, on black vinyl, and didn't notice any speed issues although I'm not super familiar with the songs yet. What I did notice was that the runout groove runs over the label on a few sides.

Yeah, my runout definitely hits the label on my black copy. Incredibly annoying.

Hopefully the rest of the album is as good and catchy as the released single. I jumped in on the red!

Bummed there is no new news about this, but will definitely be purchasing when it comes out. The soundtrack and game are both top-notch. 4XLP though? Crazy.

I didn't really expect to drop $80 on vinyl this morning but here we are, I guess.

Picked up:

Bastille - Bad Blood

Postal Service - Give Up [Deluxe]

Arctic Monkeys - AM

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape

Feels good to grab a bunch of things that have been on my Want list for a while.

They told us at the private acoustic show in VA that the 7" wasn't made because they haven't actually finished recording the song that was supposed to go on it. Dave told us the name (Tree Climbers) and said that anyone who purchased a VIP ticket would get a download for it via email when it was finished.

Dave didn't elaborate on whether the 7" would actually happen, unfortunately.
