Derek™ 9,162 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hearing that this album is actually pretty great. I’m not enamored with her current discography or anything, but I’m excited that this (allegedly) sounds like a step up for her, albeit much more polished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scruffy...the janitor 317 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Rogue package update: I finally have my copy! Apparently it was delivered to a doorstep of a house where nobody lived, so a neighbor brought the package to the post office knowing it must be for someone else. I'm glad to have the records, but I'm more excited about the good samaritan who restored my faith in humanity a bit.

strangers 16 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 For those looking for the Flexi: Got mine with the yellow indies variant today via Spillers Records; reached out on Tuesday to see if they still had any Flexi's left and they said they had a few, so if you're looking worth getting in touch. There may be some left at Relevant Records Cafe too - they also told me on Tuesday they had 'more than they expected' so may have some left. Ask before ordering as there isn't any info on their website, but they're very quick to reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a special filing cabinet in the kitchen for flexis. Mine is plastic and has a replaceable liner, but I've also seen some metal ones. Once the cabinet is full, I move them to a bigger cabinet on the side of the house. These nice gentlemen come pick up the cabinet contents once a week. I can only assume they are achieving them for me somewhere, hopefully in alphabetical order. But for real, I just keep them with my 7"s. dreamover, OldKentuckyShark, mattackmattack and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

booms528 69 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Anyone else get the VMP variant? Mine has the foil VMP stamp but is not numbered, though the hype sticker on the front says "limited to 500 foil-stamped & numbered copies" and the one with pics on discogs shows numbering. Is this normal for VMP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dhesketh 17 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) My magnolia clear copy came pretty warped. Saw one on discogs with the same issue so thinking it may be more than a one off issue? Was able to flatten it, took 2 weeks but it’s perfect now, wondering if anyone else had that issue. Edited March 21 by Dhesketh Bad grammar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Left it on the counter for two weeks and it did the trick. Played it compared to another variant and sounds the same so no damage. I’d read about this but never tried till now.

Han Solo 560 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Previously, I had only ever listened to Sprained Ankle, and even then, I had only discovered it within the last three weeks, so I'm still very new to this artist. But holy shit guys am I ever kicking myself for sleeping on her for so long. This is wicked. Today I picked up the yellow variant of Little Oblivions from my local record store and the growth between this and her old stuff is incredible, her voice is so much stronger and more confident and it just feels like a... idk. Bigger record? Like more dynamic. Just a newbies opinion. Love this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

diabretic 262 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Glad to see more people jumping on the bandwagon! I truly believe Julien is the greatest songwriter alive. My local shop has a used copy of TOTL on their site for a pretty good price if anyone is interested. https://seasickbham.com/products/julien-baker-turn-out-the-lights-lp-green-in-clear-cloud?_pos=2&_sid=92531ab8f&_ss=r McCandless and Han Solo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
