    I understand both sides of this argument. It is super rewarding to track down a good deal on a rare record, and having something that’s tough to find can be a fun point of pride, as it is for any type of collecting. That said, vinyl is the primary way I support artists, and I think that’s the case for a lot of people in this thread. It stinks when you can’t buy recent albums from bands you like because they are out of print. At very least, press enough that you can have your new album around for a year or two for anyone who discovers it a little later. There is zero excuse for your 2025 released new album to be out of stock and going for $100+ resale prices when we’re only three months and change into 2025!

    Got the half and half splatter, which I think was my favorite out of the bunch.

    Yeah, I don’t doubt that the Pillar community is cool, just like I thought Patreons from the likes of Manchester Orchestra and Spanish Love Songs were cool, in so far as it felt like they were providing worthwhile value for the money, but it feels like my entire life is a subscription and I found I was just not interacting with paid-band content in a way that felt valuable to me, so I had to draw a line somewhere. I, too, am eternally baffled by their vinyl output (or lack thereof.)

    I think the actual "nuance" is the conversation about continuing to listen to problematic artists who's music you have a strong emotional connection to, and resolving that either personally or with other people experiencing similar feelings, all with the basic understanding/agreement that continuing to support said artist financially is inherently wrong. And, I think that conversation has been had in this thread and elsewhere on these boards for many years, and will continue to be had. The "nuance" is not "let's talk ourselves into feeling like maybe it's okay to buy their records and see their shows."

    This was definitely the best night yet for the Rhodes/Cena and Gunther/Jey feuds.

    I thought this was fine, but quite disappointing given the initial trailer. I was expecting quite a bit more out of it.

  9. J12 replied to the thread Band The Wonder Years.

    Dan mentioned in a brief IG Q&A a couple months back that there’s no plans for a NCTH tour but they could conceivably do a few shows if they felt there was significant interest. Honestly, it seemed like it wasn’t something they’d even considered.

    You son of a bitch! Now all I hear when I listen to shame is “I’m scared of dying, no gun required.” Still a great song.
