How long ago was that?

 

The light, the void #148, and everything:

 

I did most of the mail order for both of them from 2005-2006. I know we had plenty of copies of In Casino and I definitely remember having Relationship CD’s and records and none of it really moving well. We printed some of their shirts in house and those always sold well but for whatever reason ATDI music wasn’t super popular.

We sold an absolute shitload of Saosin EP’s on CD though. Could not keep those in stock.

 

Did anyone get a Gatsby variant other than fire? That's the only one I have seen... Even Discogs is missing pics of the other variants

 

Here’s my Void variant:

 

Oh nice! That looks as good as the mock-up. I almost went with that but ended up going with the fire. That pic almost makes me wish I stuck with it

 

i was definitely one of those people who bought the Saosin EP from Smartpunk in 2005! Haha

 

Yeah, it looks pretty awesome. Sometimes those kind of variants end up pretty lacking, but they nailed this one.

 

I swear every record I buy comes with a split inner sleeve. I know it shouldn't bother me so much but it happens almost every time and it gets little bits of paper all over the record.

Is it because they're using cheap paper sleeves? Sharp edges on the records? Does anyone actually care about this except me?

 

We used to get boxes and boxes of them in every week or two and we’d fly through them. There was a stretch where it was probably every other order had it in there. I remember it was either that one or FFTL’s “Dear Diary” in almost every order along with the FFTL rib cage shirt.

We shared a building with Fearless around then and printed/shipped their stuff too. Lots of memories there. If anyone ordered from around summer ‘05 through Christmas ‘06, there’s a very good chance I handled your order.

 

Field Day records is teasing as well. I'll definitely replace my ETR first press that wasn't band approved.

I’m still waiting for a response to why they cancelled the Chicago date of them playing and don’t forget to breathe. Just got an email one day from the ticket company it was cancelled.

 

that’s amazing, haha. Around that time i had an after school job, with that extra spending money i’d order frequently from smartpunk. They had some cool pre-order exclusives that kept me hooked. I still have my signed copy of Cartel’s Chroma on CD that i think came from smartpunk. Good times.

 

i huvudsak porr för mig. Hoyeahhhh.

 

One more cube couldn't hurt...

 

Try two...

 

Was doing so well of not spending money on records and then Hannah was playing a concert last night so I was home alone and watching movies and having a few drinks and it’s real easy to convince myself “you know what that’s actually a good price for that and they’re definitely not repressing that one and it will complete that band’s collection.”

Why am I the way I am.

 

So... What did you order??? ;)

Those weekend drinks will get you. Many have fallen victim to the late night tipsy orders. As have been evident with some of the fine folks here the last few years haha.

I don't drink, but if I did...

I guess self titled is dropping soon!

 

Slick Shoes’ Rusty

 

Nice! I've got that, Wake Up Screaming, and Burn Out in my wantlist. Slept on all 3 when they dropped.

Seeing the last sold price (which I assume was your purchase) that wasn't too bad of a price!

You just needed some liquid courage to justify your purchase!

 

Also helped that I had 30 bucks sitting in PayPal for some reason, made it even better given what the prices had been fluctuating on for a while.

 

Anything that justifies the means amirite?! :)

 

I used credit card points as justification to make a recent grail purchase.
