I wouldn't say I'm upset, but I don't have the bandwidth for people who don't create their own shit. I'd rather put my effort and money into finding an artist who wasn't looking for shortcuts.

it's trendy Tik Tok bs. She bought a fully formed backing track, created by another band, and added some vocals over it. https://medium.com/@rinleonheart464/on-wisp-tiktok-shoegaze-and-the-art-in-artist-537ddafd9bc4

Wisp is fake-ass shoegaze. Don't support that garbage.

they are getting out there, but I haven't received a ship notice for my order yet. 😡

This might be for you (it's very much improved):

last record was craptacular too. St Vincent destroyed this band.

haha. I actually ended up caving back then and getting both, fortunately. and lol at me getting upset at a 3-month lead time now that shit's dropping for order like 6 months out.

hm... thanks for the replies. Wonder if I need to initiate a Paypal claim.

Has anyone had this ship? I was in the initial order batch that got away without shipping charges, but never got canceled. Supposed to ship on Jan 15 according to the last email about the records being lost at sea.

I haven't received a cancellation yet fwiw

Now let's get The Network repressed.

too bad those influences don't translate at all.

Finally. Now I can totally ignore VMP for the rest of eternity (I have a feeling these $40 price tags for 1LPs are going to become a regular thing).

I appreciate the serious reply, but I was being dorky. You're correct about her stuff being sporadic early on... i remember my wife rolling her eyes when I 'overpaid' for a $35 OG copy of Extraordinary Machine in 2010. Vinyl Me Please seems to have gotten their claws into her catalog, though, so I would expect that they'll have something that will be available for a bit.

you think limited? will sell fast?

thanks for the update on Mt Fuji and Kilimanjaro. Eagerly anticipating my shipment over here in the states!

Prices are particularly ridiculous this year, but I'm in for Dinosaur Jr and Replacements live albums...

Seconded. Ortofon Blue is good too if you don't mind going up to $225. I went from the Shure to the Ortofon (on a Debut Carbon) and I am really pleased with it...

yeah, but this kind of stuff muddies the water for people who want original copies of stuff... like I can't tell you how many counterfeit copies of PJ Harvey's Stories from the City record I went through until I found someone who not only had an original, but also KNEW that it was an original.

But not unprecedented. Still waiting on that Social Network repress...

if at all possible, I can't recommend enough paying someone else to do the moving for you. we sold our house in 2016 and I had to move 65 uhaul boxes of records (~2500) and my record room is on the 3rd floor of the new house. worth every penny to hire the movers.

Song is terrible. Give me Return of... so I can move on with my life.

Got my Bullmoose version yesterday. pretty sweet. might get the picture disc at some point.

Westerberg is a nice surprise. In for that. And the New Pornographers. And Jenny Lewis. And maybe the Wrens (though apparently they aren't going to see a dime from it: https://twitter.com/thewrens/status/1181604428383690753

no i get that and happy it's available for people who didn't want to throw down for the high price of an original press. but I'm against the remix in general.
