PO up at 12 EST on Friday. 

Managed to squeeze in Evil Dead Rise, Train to Busan, and The Omen. All fun ones!

Bandbox is reissuing the Long Winters catalog. Most of these are pretty tough/expensive to get at this point. When I Pretend To Fall in particular is a really great album.

I liked it too. Thought it was a little too committed to the bit, which made it feel unrealistic at times (especially when she gets to town), but as an exercise was very effective. 
 
Also recently watched Knock at the Cabin (liked it),  M3GAN (pretty fun!) and Skinamarink (I guess it was good but just not for me). On my list for the month so far are Rosemary’s Baby, Amulet, Evil Dead Rise, In the Earth, and Malignant.

My black came completely black. It’s so black it’s like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Album and preorder came out over the weekend. Vinyl is sold out on Bandcamp but still available through Top Shelf, although the Magenta Magic retail exclusive variant (the most numerous variant) is sold out. Album is real good, y’all. 
 
Pressing Info:
 
/1000 ~ Polaris Blue, Gatefold 2x LP 
/800 ~ 180g Black, Gatefold 2x LP 
/1200 - Magenta Magic, Gatefold 2x LP (Retail Exclusive)

This went up last week sometime. The limited green marble sold out almost immediately and the black out of stock too (although I think they will be available everywhere eventually) but I just check randomly and was able to get a green, so I’m passing it along. I know the OP is hard to come by. Really great album.

I’m far from an LDR scholar, but I would think you should do one of the first two albums (Born to Die/Ultraviolence) and then Norman Fucking Rockwell.

I wasn’t expecting a big sound to get me back into the Mountain Goats but from what I’ve heard so far this is shaping up to be my favorite MG album since at least All Eternals Deck. 

Wow this is really good. Been listening all day. Really do hope for vinyl one day.

I guess it'a time for me to try to get into this band for the 1485th time, wish me luck 

They do actually.  Pretty crazy.

They are headlining a pretty small venue in St. Louis is a couple weeks and while I really like but don’t quite love the last album, I’ve heard such raves about them live I’m gonna try to go. 

I like the new Home is Where and also these Robopumpkin and Vagabonds albums.

GIVE US VOLCANO AND S/T YOU COWARDS!!!

Especially since they still have copies from the 2011 press on their site for half the price. Not sure why this needed a repress.
