scottheisel Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 What a colossal waste of money and resources. Super-flimsy vinyl, no packaging, AND THE EXACT SAME FUCKING SONG SNIPPETS ON THE A-SIDE AND THE B-SIDE. I picked it up for the novelty factor but thought at least the B-side would be different than the A-side, but nope! Total piece of shit release.

mattisr1984 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 apparently this was supposed to be free and stores sold them for anywhere from 3.99 all the way up to 8 bucks. my lady said she read about it on ben gibbards twitter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derkwithano Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Flipping a quick buck on basically the band name alone yup. I was shocked as well that they did the same shit on both sides. Mad weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetJerryWine Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just looked up Ben's twitter, and yeah, it looks like this was supposed to be completely free. He's looking into it and expects to fix it real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetJerryWine Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'd definitely take a free copy, but charging for this is retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 How could he possibly fix it? A couple thousand people already dropped money on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 They just posted this on their facebook: We have become aware of some confusion as to what the limited 'In Living Stereo' 7" offered at Record Store day contains. It is the audio to this piece (http://tiny.cc/3nzh1), there are no full songs. We originally meant it to be a promotional item to be given away and somehow our desires for this got lost in execution. It is definitely not the fault of record stores, we take full responsibility. Now that you know what the 'In Living Stereo' 7" contains and if you want to own this limited release, feel free to buy it. Your purchase supports independent record stores. Our deepest apologies to anyone who already picked up the 7" with differing expectations and was disappointed. We intend to offer you something to help you feel better about that purchase. Check back here on Monday for more on this. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcvinyl Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 We have some in the store. I dont remember how much they are but I am sure well less than $10. REGARDLESS, we paid for them. They were NOT free at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 i saw a stack of copies for $3.50 i believe. even for free, i think itd be a waste of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbobrando Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I paid $4 for mine, so it wasn't a big deal really. They were giving out grab bags if you spent over $50 and I got a $10 gift card in mine. No skin off my nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 They were 6.99 when I saw them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryemis Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 What a waste. Pretty funny though. I saw them for 3.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdizzle Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 so weird. when I listened to the A side I was like "oh, this is quirky and cool, wonder what song they put on the B side." anyone want a DCFC 7"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I talked about 10 people out of buying this. What a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I'm so bummed. I'm just reading this but haven't played it. I paid $3.99 but this sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylet Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Did anyone actually listen to these yet? It's not even a song....it's an advertisement for the new record with some guy narrating 10 second clips of the new songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 yeah, we covered that in the initial rsd thread. it was advertised as a preview of the new album. so happy i read that before shopping, because i wouldnt have passed it up at $3.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I searched eBay for it and there's some uninformed folk buying these between $5-10. They're going to be really disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I've sat in meetings with stupid ideas being thrown around before, but who the hell thought this was a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartcat Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I got one for the novelty, it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genuma Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 it would be a semi-cool, maybe even slightly good, idea if it were to be free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wish i knew this shit before getting one! Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
