Shitty Rambo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The xx tried pulling that shit a few years back on 11 goddamn 7"s, not even with demos or unreleased singles or anything on the Bsides, just the same etching of an X on all the records... Anyone remember this stupid fucking thing?

Family Friendly Rap God Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 no... who wants an album on 6 7"? I certainly do not.We are talking about a hugely popular band's new album on a currently popular media format. Yeah go ahead and watch this one sell out. I think Marina and The Diamonds are doing something like this for their new album as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 7" box sets of single albums. The worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoToRoBo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 From my personal perspective these seem to be fairly popular with newer "collectors", hell even franchise fanatics who don't listen to records will buy these just for the novelty factor (Clerks, Ghostbusters). I will admit I did buy a soundtrack within the last year, realized how dumb it was, and sold it. I'd like to say I won't do that again but sometimes I have a few too many drinks and can still log into PayPal. Anyways, the stuff Mondo does is probably the most obvious example. I find it hard to believe anyone would listen to the Friday The 13th OST on a consistent basis but it's filled with fake fucking blood so it's necessary(?). I have to admit, tapes are beginning to become my go-to indie physical medium. I've found dozen of bands over the last few months via that format like I used to with vinyl. I simply can't afford to do that shit anymore with the price hike and I don't see small new 'impulse-buy' releases pop up here anymore. In the last 2 months I've bought 1 (new) record. It's a drag. I'm confident RFC, TSR, CYS, etc. will deliver as usual this year, but I hope to see some great releases from No Idea!, Red Scare, hell even new stuff from Fat. "fingers crossed". Been preaching tapes for quite some time. The prices! Got Mr. Bungle S/T and White Zombie La Sexorcisto together for $5.50 shipped. Some things are priced high, but not too many.

TFP Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I have a few box sets, including the Coldplay set and the AFI - Decemberunderground 7" set and it is pretty cool, I don't ever really listen to it though. One 7" set I really do want is the Killers Hot Fuss Box Set. That is an awesome release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 All in all, if I liked Fall Out Boy, I would probably get the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I just can't deal with flipping the record every song or two (unless it's a doom album and the songs are like 16... minutes long. Looking at you, Monolord.) Flipping once or twice an album is plenty for me, thanks. I can see the appeal for some people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Concerning the soundtrack phenomenon, I'm all on the score side of things. I'm a passionate collector of Ennio Morricone, Angelo Badalamenti and some other folks, but when it comes to things like mix tapes, they are only of any interest as long as they're favorite movies/series of mine, or really really good (see Lost in Translation or Twin Peaks, they're both). But I totally get where you're coming from and recently shared the same mindset when the Guardians of the Galaxy Tape appeared and everyone went nuts. I do understand that's its a fun thing to have if you loved the movie, but the tunes are mediocre at best and of no interest at all on CD or vinyl. SRC's recent OST-policy is cash grab and then some. It's gonna continue as long as people fall for it. And they will. tonyfranciosa and Blumplum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsWetWilly Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The Fall Out Boy Box Set. If American Beauty/American Psycho 12" gets announced before RSD, I'll buy that. If not, I'll buy the stupid box set thingy. Honestly, don't want to listen to it that way, but I have to keep the collection going. AMIRITE?!

Hairy Potter Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Nothing really interests me on this pre-list It's bad when RSD is 3 months away and I'm this impatient for information already. Also 13 pages.... I guess we all are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoToRoBo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Excited about Candlemass, EW, and Clutch. Also will grab Darjeeling Limited if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The only thing I'm mildly interested in is Fall Out Boy but I already caved to Marina, don't think I could suck myself into another 7" box set. I might actually get to participate in RSD this year but probably will end up going alone which is lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
