Yea I’m just happy I got one

 

I got this one too. Tried for the black velvet, but no shot. My checkout experience sucked.

 

True. I guess if you didn't want to deal with the potential stress of it all selling out... Glad we all got one.

EVR is the label right now! Just waiting on that AFS DTMB....

Well folks, back to work! My next drop will be the new This Wild Life album... Preorders this Friday at 10 AM EST.

 

Was able to grab that orange variant when they went up at 11. Figured I'd have a better shot than trying for one of the /150 variants, plus I actually liked this one the best so that worked out!

Thanks as always @R.J. Carlos for sharing the link/password!

 

I got a miniamp so my setup is turntable and cd/dvd player into an rca switcher into the miniamp into the subwoofer into the speakers. The wires are a bit of a doozy but it's the best I've gotten it to work, I think. I have my eye on an AT-LP60 on ebay that hopefully doesn't go over my price range

 

Smartpunk just sent out an email of a new variant of Yellowcard's new EP, hand-numbered /300: https://smartpunkshop.com/products/...exclusive?mc_cid=f0872fd96a&mc_eid=c423cd8060

 

Here's another version from BrooklynVegan. /200 - Orange

Appears Folie is available here FYI, shipping this Friday. Just picked it up! Like $24 pre shipping with code SUMMER2023

Hoping you (or anyone) have some experience with this - Are Smartpunk usually slow to respond to emails? I ordered something on May 21, and it hasn't shipped out. I sent two emails and haven't heard back. Really weird.

 

Paging @scottlechowicz

 

Hmm, that is strange...I do know that SRCVinyl typically has the worst customer service experience since they'll do everything in their power to keep your money (even if the item is backordered). I'm looking back through my past orders on Smartpunk and they seemed to be fairly quick (within 12 hours of email received) about resolving any issues that come up. Hope this helps!

 

Thanks for the info. I'll give them until Friday then try reaching out another way. I guess I've been spoiled with other companies responding and/or shipping right away.

 

Newbury Comics added a vinyl clearance section (14.99 and under) to their website here: https://www.newburycomics.com/collections/newbury-exclusives-1499-and-under

Color me surprised no one wanted to buy these albums at 3x the price they are now...

great album, and for a steal. i highly recommend it.

 

criminally underrated, and yet i didn't own it until now. thanks for the tip! also grabbed Light We Made and Hot Wet & Sassy.

 

I bought this pressing it sounds stellar

 

I want to grab On A Wire and Guilt Show, but $9 shipping and the tax almost double the cost. Gonna let this one simmer.

 

Please DM if you’re interested and I’ll see if they have anything left when I get off of work in 3.5 hours.

 

And double check your address if you reorder!!!

 

Them: alcohol gives me confidence. after a few drinks I talked to her and got her number

Me: alcohol gives me confidence. after polishing off a six pack in my living room, sweaty, I convinced myself it’s was cool and normal to order three records from my wantlist even though each one cost as much to ship as the records themselves because they’re international

 

$13 for Beggars is always a good deal.

 

I got it sorted! Thanks for looking out, though.

I’ve heard the available TTTYG and FUCT pressings sound shitty. Any thoughts?

I’m wondering if I should hold out for anniversary pressings or just pull the trigger.

 

oh hell yes!

Great mail day.

 

Supposedly the EU pressing of Cork Tree sounds better and that’s the one you get from Amazon if you order it there currently.

 

I started a The Starting Line disco run since I got the EP yesterday. What a band.
