Every girl I've known has a "No camo. No dead animals" tinder policy. Seems pretty legit as far as standards go.

 

Most of them have had "No hiking pics" as a guideline too.

If I were a single dude on tinder my photo would be me hiking, with my dick out...but it's painted camo. I'd also have my hands up inside some fish like they were fleshy, scaly mittens.

Also I'd be doing close-up magic.

Oh why would he make his first four albums self-titled...that's confusing!

Because he's brilliant. All of them are amazing, actually. I just have a soft spot for the first one.

Don't tell me that you only like weirdo prog Petee Gabriel

Haha! Nah, I dig most of it honestly. I'm not crazy about Sledgehammer, but I obviously love Solsbury Hill. That song is the catchiest, most amazing song ever! I do like proggy, weird Gabriel too, but the hits are too good not to love. It may be an unpopular opinion, but I love Here Comes the Flood. All of his albums have some real hits, but like I said, "Car" really does it for me :)

The darker the better with P. Gabes as far as I'm concerned! ^^

 

His pop-sensibilities combined with darker material can be so briliant.

 

 

I have to say I was really disappointed in Scratch My Back. I had high hopes for it after the Bon Iver and Magnetic Fields 7" that came out.

I just was sent an insane amount of Beck B-Sides.

 

What is equal to 10 CDs

Forward it to me if you wouldn't mind... :)

 

"Got No Mind" is a favorite B-Side of mine, I almost prefer it to "Pay No Mind"

 

And are you familiar with the whiskeyclone database?

So people in the Norma Jean thread think it's EXTREMELY expensive to make a 2xLP (cause apparently disc count is the only factor when calculating the cost of a record). I know typing my rant and submitting it would fall on deaf ears, so I'll submit it here.

 

Insert rational person:

I'm quite looking forward to this album, but fuck $30. Just fuck that. There's no reason, and I am so sick of this shit. 

Insert #1:

"Uh..... They are EXTREMELY expensive to make."

Insert #2:

"Yeah."

 

Rant:

So people honestly think $30 for a 2xLP is standard now? Really? 2xLPs are not very expensive to make, especially considering that run size. For what they are doing, assuming they are using a FLAC digital source or analog tapes to make the plates (which is more expensive compared to using a CD), having paper sleeves, a jacket, two dust printed sleeves, two colors for the discs, shrink wrapped, it would be around $10 each. And that's only for 1,000. It'll be cheaper than that since they are doing a 1,000 run of one variant, and probably 2,000+ for the other variant since that size is unlisted. Did you guys see the You Fail Me Redux release? That 8 panel jacket is insane. The thing is, dual printed dust sleeves for 1,000 cost about $2/each. So that's an extra $2,000 for something you probably won't even keep your disc in cause you don't want it to rip. Plus the paper sleeves are just easier to use, right? So we're probably not going to bother with the nicer dust sleeves anyway. But that's just two separate pieces of two panel while the You Fail Me Redux was eight. They had to get is custom made and figure out how cause nothing like that had been done before; more money. That had multiple vinyl colors for multiple variants, albeit being a larger run size, but they also remastered it, and went all out. Yet in the end the damn thing was $18. Almost half the price. They kept their price point low. I don't want to go off on a tangent here, but all I'm saying is it's not hard to have a lower price point. In the end records are worth what you're willing to pay, but do they need to be 3x what they're worth to make? Not really.

 

It's fine if you want to tell yourself $30 is a good price to help justify the purchase, cool, but it doesn't mean $30 is fair. You really want the album for $30? So be it. Go for it. Power to you. Support the band you love, that's great. It doesn't mean it's actually worth that price point. If this were a Caspian release or some shit you're damn right I'd buy it, but I sure as fuck wouldn't be trying to convince myself it's justified or fair to charge that much. Like with the new ITTCT album, that shit was $30 cause of fucking Metal Blade, so I still haven't bought it. When labels start charging $40 are you just going to say 'well, 2xLPs are expensive to make. $40 is cool with me'?

 

(This has nothing to do with this band, genre, fan base, yada yada, and only due to the fact that the label is gouging you guys and you're trying to convince yourself it's ok cause you like the band. It's ok to like the band and think you're getting over charged.)

See, that's what it should have been in the first place. That seller is good, too: Almost 2k reviews/ratings with a 99% positive rating.
