I have that 7"! I would buy the OST too though.

What's on the Matrimony 7" again? That's their only record I don't have.

Picked up a clear even though I have the first press. Gotta keep the Native collection intact! Best band!

Everyone should buy this record! I'm sticking with my first press but if I didn't already have one I'd be all over this.

This is awesome but $8.50? Uuuggghhhhh.

Haha, is the 12" print really that baseball photo? Does it even say the band's name on it?

Grabbed the package with the t-shirt and print! Stoked! The new song rules!

lol, "rich".

lolololol I love this about VC.

Label owner: They should be available in BLANKtember.

Poster: It's the 1st of BLANKtember, WHEN DO THE RECORDS COME OUT?

i've never seen anything like Drive before.. at least in a theater. i always think its a cop out when people attribute slow movies to the building of tension, but that's exactly how i would describe the first half of Drive.. and it fucking works 100%.

the acting was superb (albert brooks and bryan cranston especially.) ryan gosling didn't annoy me as much as he usually does. his performance felt awkward to me at first, but it seemed to gel as the film went on. and christina hendricks was.. ya know, busty.

also, one of the best first scenes to a movie i think i have ever seen. seriously.

and yeah, as mentioned above, soundtrack was great.

I've seen Drive three times now, unbelievable film. Nicolas Winding Refn is one of the best living directors.

i saw bronson recently and couldn't really get into (not nearly as much as i did with this new flick.) have you seen the pusher trilogy or vahalla rising? i've been meaning to check those out.

They're all great! But I was also a huge fan of Bronson.

A REAL HUMAN BEING

AND A REAL HERO

I can't grasp it because I have not been offered a legitimate motivation. Is the scarcest variant more sought after in the way that gold is valuable and sought after because it is one of the scarcest precious metals? Is it just so you can tell people you have the scarcest one? Again, I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm honestly trying to understand.

I think maybe I just have a different mechanism for "value" when it comes to this.

I understand you're saying... it just sounds like you're being super condescending toward people who opt for more limited variants, like you really want to hear someone admit that they buy limited variants so that they can brag about it or something. We're all vinyl collectors here because we love music and the collectibility of records adds some fun and variety to acquiring it.

None of my friends buy records. I do it because I love listening to music and supporting artists, but CDs offer no benefit over MP3s for my lifestyle. When I wait months and months for Native to release their LP on vinyl and the day comes that I can pre-order it, I'm gonna get the most limited variant because it's a big occasion to me. From now own, every time I pull out the record to listen to it, I'm going to think about all the Native shows I went to and all the car rides during which I exhausted Wrestling Moves without every getting tired of it.

Not everyone collects things so they can brag about their acquisitions or resell them for a profit down the road. Collecting is fun. At the end of the day, when the record is on the turntable, no, the color doesn't matter. But I'm 20 years old and I love music. What the fuck am I gonna do with the rest of the day?

Record collectors are just that, collectors. When someone has a choice of three colors, and each color costs the same, they're gonna jump for the most limited one... It's just obvious. Also it doesn't hurt that Topshelf often makes the most limited variant the coolest one.

I don't know. I just feel like the collector aspect should be less prevalent than the joy of simply having the music to enjoy. I guess I would consider myself a "collector" in a way but not in the way that dictates that the scarcest variant is the best choice when selecting between variants. For me, given the choice between 3 or 4 colors, I'll pick the color that I favor the most in general regardless of the scarcity level. Its just weird to me that scarcest = best choice. I still don't understand the mechanism of that assertion. To me, the only logical reason for that to be important is for re-sale to people who believe the rare one to be superior in some regard but again, I just don't understand that motivation in any other way.

Even though I don't like orange as a color in general, I think that concept of clear with orange splatter will probably look pretty damn cool. However, I'm a much bigger fan of maroon and I would have purchased that straight away had I felt financially comfortable purchasing this record at the time that all colors were available.

I'm honestly not trying to start shit, I'm just seriously lost on why the scarcest is the best choice.

It's not one or the other... Someone can be stoked on the music and want a limited variant as well. The collectibility of one's color choice doesn't lessen one's appreciation for the music at all. I don't see what's so hard to grasp about this concept haha. Just keep buying the color you like the most if that's what makes you happy.

I've seen Drive three times now, unbelievable film. Nicolas Winding Refn is one of the best living directors.

Are people seriously confused as to why the most limited variants go first? Isn't it obvious?

Please explain. I'm oblivious. I have theories but I don't actually know.

in for a seafoam green

Me too. Great band, can't wait to see them.

I'm seeing O'brother on October 3rd but I think I'm gonna go ahead and order from Broken Circles. There's a chance they might not have them on tour with them.

Hahaha seriously? Damn, that sucks. I saw The Appleseed Cast last month and I didn't even think to ask him about this. I forgot about it to be honest.

Lame. I was really looking forward to this. Decisions, decisions.

Haha, where? I might sell mine. Sounds like a good deal.

This double LP is real actually. I have it, lol.
