MTS-Blink TOYPAJ


Recommended Posts

Anyone else see this comment left on MTS facebook....thought it was pretty interesting...

ý" i thought about going over RJ's head before you possibly and already contacted all the pressing plants i know of in the US. i was surprised i got a response from all of them, some with more info than others. so bear with this lenghty message/pm.

Erika is at least pressing the thre bonus 7"s, but here is the major kicker; MTS has not placed an order with them for the 7"s yet. Universal is still waiting for a purchase order from RJ on the 7"s as well as Erika. so apparently the 7"s are at a stand still. Eriak told me they did test presses of the 7"s for MTS a long time ago, and are still waiting for an actual order from MTS. which i take as the 7"s will be the next thing to hold up shipping these orders out.

my emails even got forwarded to RJ/MTS' contact/rep at Universal, who confirmed Universal is still waiting for RJ to place orders to get the 7"s pressed, and to then contact RJ directly about what is going on, so i told him RJ has been ignoring emails since at least september.

he then forwarded all my emails between both Erika and himself to RJ and i got a response. RJ told me no info other than to defend himself and give the same BS "things are coming in, we're just waiting for this and this and this blah blah blah." he never once denied the records were not actually in production yet though, which leads me to believe my assumptions of no records are actually done or being pressing is correct. so if the records are not in production yet, that would be why there is no tracking number from any pressing plant.

i repeatedly asked Erika about the LP's and they would not say yes or no as to if they were pressing the LP's. only said they were handling the 7"s. i pressed Erika for as much info as possible but got shut down eventually and they stopped emailing me back.

from that picture of a test press on MTS' facebook it appears United is pressing the LP's but they told me they are not pressing these records for MTS. i assumed they were but from what i was told they're not doing the LP's or anything else for MTS. from what United told met i assume Erika is pressing this entire blink project/release for MTS, but the info trail dried up after about 10 back and forth emails with Erika. i contacted RTI, Pirates Press, Brooklyn Phono, Rainbo, Gotta Groove, Dynamic Sun, and Bill Smith; all of which said they were not pressing any blink-182 records for MTS.

i also learned of a potential huge bombshell from Bill Smith Custom Records though. i was told MTS owes Bill Smith Custom a ton of money and are dodging them. MTS is not returning their phone calls or emails about the money owed. Bill Smith cut off MTS and is no longer pressing anything for MTS as a result. this could turn into a major thing like with Virgil, who was in the same boat. after all my email corresondences with the pressing plants, it would not surprise me if MTS took in all the money from the blink pre-orders to pay off other debts. which is why these records have taken so long to get done. but apparently RJ still owes people money, like Bill Smith.

i would suggest you email all the pressing plants too, but focus on Erika and United. their websites can be found in the how to press a record stickied thread in the VC news section of the board. maybe if they get enough emails alerting them to MTS' shady behavior, lack of info and potential scamming the plants will give out more info. the person who responded to me from Erika was Ken Brisbin, [email protected], try him if yuo don't get a response from their contact form or generic info email contact. you can even call ken if you feel like it @ 714-228-5420 extension 712. for United try [email protected]"

Kickstarter to form this thread into a popup book novel or movie?

I now present my suggestion.

SCAZAAM (20??)

A HipsterAsFolk Production, coming in 3 missed release dates to a thread near you!

Being a self proclaimed 26 year old boy in the "hood" is dangerous and unpleasant. This is what Greymundos experiences when he fools a gang of Vinyl Collective members who cornered him at the TOYPAJ thread. The gang finds out that the preorder he claimed to have received on a Sunday was fake, and they chase him through the threads of Vinyl Collective, bent on -1's. He tries to escape by slipping into the Sum 41 Support thread, but they follow him there, too. While running from them through threads filled with all kinds of stuff, he stumbles on MTS's Webstore page. By doing that, he manages to release Scazaam, a genie who has been breaking release dates for thousands of years. In order to stay free, Scazaam must give Max three wishes....

BAM!

Stay tuned kiddies! More to come!

That's great.

Since I love Shaq I figure a Shazam fun fact is in order. The kid is Frank Capra III, grandson of the great Frank Capra who made Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (top 10 movie). Capra III went on to play gangster Weevil in Veronica Mars(season 1 is amazing tv), proving that the hood he found with that genie never washed away. In conclusion Shaq needs to do more movies. You should consider him for the role of RJ.
