  1. New album by t e l e p a t h on 1000 white vinyl! https://dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/a
  2. Looking for one of the white cassettes. I'd be down to straight up buy one or trade something from my collection if the deal is right. Help!
  3. Edition of 300 Pink vinyl: http://www.vinyl-digital.com/Hip-Hop-Rap/Skyscraper-Anonymous.html Listen to the full album here: https://yungbaebae.bandcamp.com/album/skyscraper-anonymous
  4. Selling my collection to focus on other endeavors. Honestly, any reasonable offers will be accepted. If you make a halfway decent offer for multiple items I will very likely accept (the more items the better the deal i'll be willing to give you). Blue highlighted ones are still brand new and sealed. I store all my records in mofi sleeves and the outer sleeves in protective poly outer sleeves. Almost all records and sleeves are in near mint condition, with a few in VG+ condition. Please PM me with offers (make all offers to include postage - im in the US, so my compatriots add around $4 and international buyers should tack on like $20 in your consideration). And feel free to ask me any questions about variants as some are not listed. I'll sell the stuff I have incoming too (listed at the bottom), you'll just have to wait til I get it obviously.

  5. Unexpected expenses have come up, so I'm selling my transparent copy of rain temple and glitter tape. Both are unplayed and vinyl is still sealed. 55 shipped.
  6. So I sold a bunch in the first go and have updated the list. There is a ton of rare/hard to find/hard to find for cheap stuff I am willing to part with. (The more items you want, the cheaper the offer I will accept). Just make an offer, but basically the deal is: Blue highlighted ones are still brand new and sealed (if they came sealed). I store all my opened records in mofi sleeves and the outer sleeves in protective poly outer sleeves. Almost all records and sleeves are in near mint condition, with a few in VG+/VG condition, nothing worse. Please PM me with offers (make all offers to include postage - im in the US, so my compatriots add around $4 and international buyers should tack on like $20 in your consideration). And feel free to ask me any questions about variants as some are not listed. I'll sell the stuff I have incoming too (listed at the bottom), you'll just have to wait til I get it obviously.

  11. After going on a listening binge lately I think I seriously need to ramp up my collection. Looking for any and all cassettes even remotely associated with vaporwave, odds are whatever you got is something I don't have and would enjoy. I don't need Saint Pepsi's Hit Vibes or World Tour or Late Night Delight, and I've already got both YYU tapes. Anything else, shoot me a message.
  12. Deluxe is $17.98 plus a couple bucks shipping. Regular LP is $14.98. This is not much like his earlier Saint Pepsi stuff (which to him is the point) and has a lot more singing, but I like to support Saint Pepsi so I bought it anyway. His stuff tends to sell out fast. No idea as to the pressing info for the deluxe, it just says limited. Very disappointed to see both the songs on his 7" single he put out a while ago are on this album, that's always a pet peeve of mine. Still, stream the lead single and decide yourself. http://store.carparkrecords.com/products/551753-cak107-skylar-spence-prom-king This is a pre-order. Pre-orders will ship by or before the September 18th release date. All Carpark Records shop pre-orders will receive a download of "Can't You See" instantly. The limited edition Deluxe LP includes metallic gold vinyl, a stick of Skylar Spence-branded spearmint gum, and a digital download card. For digital download customers, Prom King will become available to download at 7 p.m. EDT on September 17th. When Ryan DeRobertis announced the name change of his project from Saint Pepsi to Skylar Spence, there was no indication of any stylistic departure, though the change arrived with a musical shift toward faster tempos and more pristine production. Whereas Saint Pepsi had often used decades-old boogie, disco, and new wave as grist for the sampling mill, Skylar Spence is intent on trafficking more overtly in those genre aesthetics through his own production techniques and vocal contributions. With Prom King, DeRobertis reorients his music for his new full-band live act and winds up with an album full of tight and enveloping dance tunes. Working with Carpark Records “gave me the confidence to ‘go big’ with the new material: to write pop songs with universal messages in the sonic wrapping paper that I’ve grown accustomed to,” DeRobertis says. “A few songs on Prom King are about specific events in my life—a party where I got too messed up, watching a friend’s life spiral out of control and trying to help—but I tried hard not to be too autobiographical because I want my music to unite, above all else. I’m much more interested in connecting with the listener than mystifying my personality.” While DeRobertis’ previous long-players have been more amorphous collections in the style of beat tapes, Prom King is compact and cohesive, with the album’s varied stylistic references (new wave, UK garage, boogie) united through strong guitar melodies and Todd Edwards-ian cobblings-together of tiny vocal samples. “I slowed some music down and called myself an artist,” DeRobertis sings on lead single “Can’t You See,” acknowledging in his lyrics what is already apparent in the music’s tone—he can maintain fidelity to his vision while working in more uptempo, disco-based song structures. “Ridiculous!” and “Bounce Is Back” are big groovers that capitalize on jacking hi-hats and hand drumming, respectively, and both have an air of Balearic warmth and smoothness. On the title track, DeRobertis entwines a chorus of unintelligible but expressive samples with his own vocals—what feels like a synthesis of two approaches—and the result is an affecting pattern of build and release. More contemplative sophisti-pop numbers like “Fall Harder” and “Affairs” add a realist’s breadth of scope: thoughts of past foibles bleed into present-dwelling and dancing. Prom King is DeRobertis making sense of missed opportunities. His high school did not have a prom king; he has filled the position with an imaginative album of personal and musical revisionism.
