Derek™ Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You save a buck+ if you're buying a single 12". It ain't no thing. Just did a blind buy on this. As passionate as everyone seems to be about these releases I figured the band must be worth it. Feel kinda dumb for sleeping on it for this long. At this point I've waited for so long that I might as well just wait until I have the record in hand before I listen to it. You won't be disappointed. Unless you specifically like awful music, and shudder at the thought of quality post-rock / math rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you specifically like awful music, and shudder at the thought of quality post-rock / math rock. Well, the thought of quality post/math-rock gets me pretty stoked so it sounds like I've made a good decision. I just couldn't pass up Purple splatter. Purple is 2nd only to pink when it comes to best vinyl colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't pass up Purple splatter. Purple is 2nd only to pink when it comes to best vinyl colors. Definitely a good choice. And for the record, the variant is technically clear with purple splatters / accents. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you were expecting some full-blown purple splatter madness. I hope this doesn't detract from your ability to be stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I completely understand what to expect from the variant. I've gotten a bunch of Topshelf's recent splatters, so I figure it'll be similar. Besides, I'll pretty much always be 100% satisfied with anything I get from TS. I know they said they'd never do a subscription for a a lot of very valid reasons, but I really wish I could just front them a few hundred bucks once a year.

Shelby Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Jelly of the rarest variant. I told myself I wasn't gonna buy any additional variants past the box set. Gotta stick to my guns :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanesaw Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Anyone grab a copy of the book about my idle plot on a vague anxiety that they'd be willing to sell me? I slept on it, and am kicking myself for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wait, were people unaware that it's been up for a month+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpherson123 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I knew it was there. I was trying to familiarize myself with the music to see if I really wanted it enough and now today, I was going to place an order for three of the LP's and I find that its sold out.

Bladewillisisdead Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Wait, were people unaware that it's been up for a month+? Just the other day I saw it was almost sold out and couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. That's why I didn't hesitate on the one they just put up. Hoping if I start digging the band I'll be able to track down one for a non-ridiculous price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanesaw Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah, I've known about it since day one, I just uncharacteristically slept on it and never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedong Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 anybody have any idea if they will have any /100 variants or the box set on tour? missed the first LP on clear w/ black, would love to pick it up when i see them in nyc, and will pick up whatever i can for people here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 seeing these guys with TWIABP, next month. I checked a few songs out on YouTube and I like it a lot thus far. What should I listen to specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Literally anything. I know that sounds lazy and-or cryptic, but it's all extremely solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I personally started with The Book About... and was hooked, if that helps. But you really can't go wrong by starting with a random EP, or working backwards, etc. Whatever you fancy, it's all good. drds89 and topshelfsquad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saomitch Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 So pumped for this. Glad I quickly pulled the trigger on the box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 after listening to almost all of their stuff once and some of it multiple times, all I have to say is they are fucking awesome. topshelfsquad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubt it, if they have any merch it'll probably be t-shirts and maybe the Japanese versions of the CDs. That's just my guess, but who knows maybe they will have one, or both of the least limited colours, but I wouldn't hold my breath, least of all for the /100 or boxsets. (I'm planning on seeing them a few days after you will, so you'll be able to find out for sure before I will, though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alogical Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Damn, I was hoping to pick something up when I see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeine Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have no insider information, I am just guessing. I mean, timing of the vinyl and tour would imply that they might, but I think flying in from Japan they might want to travel light and also the vinyl haven't shipped yet soooo... I dunno I'm just hypothesizing. I think lots of people, myself included would have pre-ordered from topshelf and then bought a ticket to see them since they were announced at the same time. Plus lugging stuff around at shows isn't always fun, not that I really mind, if I see something I like/want I'll buy it and carry it around I don't mind. But yeah, in terms of logistics and numbers I think if they have any vinyl on the road at all it will prob be the least rare colours.P.S.: I have a toe t-shirt for sale, its in my FS thread. Basically it's the BSM t-shirt that was offered with UK version of The Future Is Now EP, I got the wrong size, it's a small. I wear L or XL. So obviously I've never warn it, just kept it in perfect condition since I've always intended to sell it since I didn't get my money back for the mix up.

topshelfsquad Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The band will have vinyl on the tour. There is no tour press and they'll likely have least rare variants or second presses (we're re-pressing "The Book..."). They'll have shirts. They'll maybe have Machu Picchu Industrias versions of the CDs / DVDs. We're working on other stuff. Maybe a screen printed poster. No box sets (literally, those are sold out forever, we will never make more and there are no more). Trying to have everything done in time. All the shows are sold out except Detroit, Cleveland and Columbus (but those three are getting there) so I'd get tickets now if you're planning on going. The whole tour WILL sell out. Spank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
