I admit to being a sucker, I bought one of the CB box sets, and a regular repress. Despite owning an OG press and one of the 10 inches I guess I needed more. It doesn't hurt that I am on the back cover in the photo from the final show. I really want to buy the other photo book because I was often at the Fireside from the end of '94 until the beginning of '98, so I am sure a lot of shows I attended are documented, but the extra $50 was too much. My first time seeing CB was opening for Anal Cunt in Homewood, IL in early 1995. At the time all I knew was that they were ex-Mushuganahs members, lol. Saw them many many times.

I'll give you a hint: RVA  (you'd find hardcore kids, emo kids, punk kids all at their shows intermingling.) I don't really know how big they were outside the southeast though.

Inquisition were great!

If anyone lives around the Twin Cities, Unique Thrift in New Hope has a ton of Passion Pit shirts in the men's t shirt section. They are green shirts, all the same design, multiple sizes.

Buried in a Twitter reply, Bryan from Thou said their next album will be called Umbilical and will have reworked versions of the songs from their Adult Swim set plus at least 4 other songs they are fleshing out. No idea when this is happening.

I should be seeing ND on the 3rd.

I feel like none of you realize this is the first time it's been mastered from the original tapes. Plus it's not in print so... weird take either way.

Southern Lord also claimed their pressing was mastered from original tapes.

This is the only other reference I can find for one of these acetates, here called a test pressing, which an acetate essentially was:

Looks like an acetate for one of these (ATCO 6521): https://www.discogs.com/The-Bee-Gees-Holiday/release/1801105

Sometimes Acetates would only be one sided, so there would be a separate one for the B side.

That’s KC, the guitarist. She  They do vocals on The Hammer. The vocals on that song don’t quite hit the spot for me, I think it’s just the way they’re being sung, but she’s they've done good on other tracks 

The ridiculous thing is that they printed postage for all the packages over 2 months ago and then delayed them because of the membership cards of all things, not the vinyl.

Then they sent them all out recently and the post office returned them all because the postage expired. A comedy of errors.

But Hot Stampers are forever.

Long time Thou stan, personally I visit the Tyrant/Peasant era the least. I would say the Algiers comp covers a good range of years where they were really growing as a band. If you just want a quick  (ha!) Selection of songs I would say: New Orleans is a Hole, Skinwalker, Helen Hill, Voices in the Wilderness, and Bonnet Carre. 

If you dig that stuff then just go to the Heathen LP which is the culmination of everything that came before. If you dig that, then spin Magus, by then you should be off to the races. For a bonus, check out their blessings of the highest order comp which is all Nirvana covers and a good initiation to their sound with a familiar source.

Super stoked on the new False

The two newer songs I have seen them play are fucking great. There is almost a Heartwork era Carcass vibe to some sections in between the punishing black metal. They keep getting better, I cannot wait to hear the new album.

Not sure if you are serious, but Kannon was an RSD first release and had an exclusive color. The Black One repress did as well. And at this point there is at minimum like 3 versions of every SL release (silver anniversary, regular release, and european mailorder) and often many more (looking at you Dopesmoker). When they did that Scream repress a few years ago for RSD I think there were 5 random variants just for RSD. I would bet there will be minimum 5 variants for the Sunn album (RSD, Euro, regular, SL 20th anniversary, and Sunn store exclusive).

Rumor of a single LP of the Grateful Dead's 46 minute Playin' (split over both sides) from the 5/21/74 show recently released in the pacific northwest box.

Thou needs to cut the shit and just do full album covers of the entire Nirvana discography.

Like 7 or 8 years ago the talk was that Robotic Empire was going to do the Nirvana discography with a different band doing each full album and Thou was going to tackle In Utero in its entirety. The project then became the various artist albums as released. I also would have preferred Thou just do the whole thing.

Anyone know if they're selling these on the current U.S. tour?

Unfortunately no, just $40 t shirts.

Harmon made a satire that went nowhere, it has been addressed in the past. The real issue here are the alt-right trolls dredging this up (they just did it to James Gunn last week) to equate it to people like Roseanne who legitimately got fired for being actively  and undeniably racist in her public life. It has nothing to do with Dan Harmon other than creating a false equivalency to undermine people getting questioned and facing consequences for being genuinely terrible people.

And Dan Harmon has full acknowledged being a terrible person and worked to atone for it.

This isn’t canceled bc Dan Harmon made a really stupid video 10 years ago?

When/where did you hear about that split?

Maybe the band at a show last summer?

Is the Thou/Samothrace split still gonna happen sometime?

I totally missed that Nirvana album they put out with the Hirs Collective and I'm pissed. Literally just found out about it. I fucking love Thou covering Nirvana.

I think Get Better is repressing it but their mailorder is very slow. Looks like Sisters in Christ still has it:

They sorta do fuck around, since these days the only thing "limited" about their releases is a wraparound sleeve and wax seal.

Either way though - good shite.

I hope they cook up something good for the Thou Magus LP this fall on Sacred Bones.
