kjkenney Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 VC may have moved on from the Virgil days when it was primarily Orgcore and middling alt-country, but there were a million directions it could've gone, and it sucks that it's gone in the Middle School Forever nostalgia train direction. I think this may be the tipping point. The time has come to reestablish Terrible Vacation. this. soundtracks and albums by '90s bands are the name of the game. Create the hype, and the cash will flow. Its much easier to sell an album by a platinum-selling band, even if that happened 20 years ago, than to promote the shit out of a new band that no one has heard of. Convenience is king, and so is cash. Combine the two and you win at capitalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I disagree with that. Thanks to this board, I've discovered and expanded my musical tastes more than I ever would have had I been on just a band specific messageboard. This forum is vinylcollective and I don't think it really slants one way (metal vs. punk vs. pop) over another. i'd like to think it is all encompassing and welcoming to any and all music tastes. With regards to Blues Traveler, it's not like they are making 40000 copies. 1 release was a promo only domestic release, 2 of the releases haven't even been on vinyl before (per Discogs), with another being only available overseas. I am sure there are more than 1000 people who see Blues Traveler at shows that might pick this up for nostalgia sake (maybe a couple met at a HORDE show...who knows). I don't think this is milking fans or anything, it is giving legacy Blues Travelers fans to add to their vinyl collection and a chance for those who may want to discover their music an opportunity to do so. First, your opinion always counts in my book. You're one of my trusted posters. My issue is not that it's being pressed. Not at all. I am always a proponent that if there is demand an LP should be in print. That goes for Pavoratti to Blues Traveler to Uniform Choice. I've found plenty of new music via VC but this is a place that is a community built around a commonality in taste. That isn't a controversial statement. Built off of the love of Punk many members like Hip Hop too. I'm a junkie for early Revelation releases that aren't talked about here. Others have flexed some serious Jazz and Classical knowledge. But the root has always stayed the same and no one has to continue to show tolerance for the board being junked up with even more 90s Nostalgia Represses. I wouldn't say delete the thread - wouldn't have when I was a mod - but like hell if it isn't a golden opportunity to look back upon so much terrible music from my day. I had left but the tossing out about "Good Charlotte" didn't help. Two sets of crap doesn't somehow make either a good idea. Anyway, no one is saying anything can't be posted or discussed but just because we are now littered with a million threads about bands that garner two pages of response does not put them on equal footing with what this place was built around.

I think this may be the tipping point. The time has come to reestablish Terrible Vacation. Speaking of Nostalgia - who's intrigued by a new Braid LP? This guy <<<<<. Terrible Vacation was a flop. Even when the board was transitioning and IVWT was banned no one cared enough. Sucks since it could have been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 One final point: I did compliment the fact that BT was in Kingpin but no one seemed to want to talk about what is in my opinion the most under-appreciated comedy of the 90's. So damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Let me know when they press Hansons middle of nowhere so i can order that album also. Hell even 2 copies. You need two in case you mistakenly store one in an 85 degree room. kjkenney and zeb_enjoys_vinyl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear your point, I originally found this place searching for punk records. But It's hard to swallow that some middle of the road 90's bands are the issue when the front page is full of The Frozen Soundtrack, Lion King Picture Discs and Coldplay's new record. Like a poster said above, its hard to claim this is a punk rock board when we have a 100 page Taylor Swift thread. I just consider this a Vinyl message board that leans punk. kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Bateman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 You need two in case you mistakenly store one in an 85 degree room. Very true.

amnstypls Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I, for one, am grateful that this was posted here. I purchased Four. I have many great memories with my father listening to this on tape, while driving around in his old GMC. Requiescat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This is a punk oriented board. This seems less and less of a thing anymore in this place and it's rather upsetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiescat Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'll definitely be snagging "Four". Grabbed the 2x 180g black vinyl version. Such a great album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disney soundtrack raging going on baffles me. No joke: I thought my son would like to hear the Frozen soundtrack since he liked the movie and everyone was rocking that one damn song about letting go. I download it and a couple songs in he says "Daddy, this is too slow". So damn proud of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Bateman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 We all have that with bands. The love la dispute, touche amore gets on here is beyond me. No idea what anyone sees in them but they do.

JezmundToo Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 At the risk of pissing people off, y'all are some whiny, entitled bitches. You know how much total shit music has threads on this board? TONS. I'm not in here defending Blues Traveler, but this is where you choose to draw the line? There is so much ridiculous fanboy bullshit that goes on in the record-collecting game, and this is what sets you off? So this is a punk board? I though it was a Hot Topic fan forum, filled with Middle/High school dance soundtracks, and "Whoa man! The first time I heard that song I was ____________ (drinking my first beer/toking the first time/touching my first tit). I GOTTA get that record." You guys make me laugh. That said, these are pretty limited, so you shouldn't have to see too many around the $1 bins. There should still be plenty of room for your favorite bands in them. Now back to your regularly scheduled complaining and bickering... P.S. I like this board. weinerdog and ratbrain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own. The more vinyl the better. Fk it 100% agree with this, including the bands. Was pretty negative on this band/releases yesterday, but hey, to each their own. I do love the color variants on these. Almost makes me wish I was a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 If these had come out on April 19th, people would still have TTL on auto-reload looking for restocks. They come out two weeks later and suddenly it's lame to like bands from the 90s... ?! ratbrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Bateman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 90s music is my favorite so I like the fact that these albums are getting pressed/re-pressed If i see a la dispute/touche/or any band like them pre order thread, i just keep scrolling down and find something i do like. Not a fan of shitting on a band in a pre order thread. I'll stick to the "shit on bands here" thread in the everything else forum. weinerdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Entitlement would indicate that you want something. I desire less of something. It's a bit different. I should have railed harder against the $30 price tag instead of how terrible the band is. It is my error in approach and I will make proper amends. And no one hates the 90s. They are hating all the sudden pressings of 90s Crap Radio One Hit Wonders. The 90s put out plenty of incredible music. This is a perfect convergence of an overpriced item with a band that isn't going to attract a lot of respect from VC. Hope you all have a nice weekend ahead.

Plarocks Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ordered I have wanted Four on vinyl since the CD came out. Glad to see it finally. I also enjoyed hearing their early stuff on WHFS wayyyy back in the day. I ordered the "audiophile black vinyl" bundle.

I am friends with the label owner who is putting this one out and The test presses were actually declines for these. As you can see in the video, they were a bit warped so these will likely be delayed a few months due to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
