I want the OG. I think I saw one go up yesterday for like $300. Ugh.

 

yah i got re-recorded one this year actually, but wouldn't mind an OG or repress as you said of the original and that's funny you are looking for underdog EP i literally JUST took and uploaded photos of my copy on discogs the other day because the cover on there wasn't the actual cover and it was bugging me haha

 

Got Swans “To Be Kind” (signed by Michael Gira). Technically a present to myself kinda but my wife gave me the ok to spend the extra 10 bucks to buy it because Xmas.

also got rice paper inner sleeves and a grimeys gift card!

 

Good Christmas! Records I got:

Taylor Swift - 1989 TV (Blue)
Haim - Days Are Gone (Green 10th anniversary)
MGMT - 11.11.11 (Blue)
Mitski - Laurel Hell (Gold)
Sufjan Stevens - Javelin (Turquoise)
Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine (Black)

and I got my fiancée (which basically goes back into my collection lol)

Kilo Kish - American Gurl (Clear)
Blackpink - Born Pink (Pink)
Chappell Roan - The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (black)

 

Green Day - Dookie Baby Blue Variant + Dookie t-shirt. A good Christmas.

Urban Outfitters has a few more clearance records 50% off today: https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/vinyl-records-for-sale

 

anyone ever cancel an order from merchbar? curious about doable that is. i submitted a request since i'm still waiting on my order from june, lol.

also looking back at what i've ordered from merchbar, i bought most of those records at other places in the months since.

 

Anytime i’ve wanted them to cancel they’ve done it pretty quickly.

 

You just have to ask. They are good with cancelling.

 

Just had an interesting variant mix up for the first time

I got Portugal the Man’s latest from Barnes and Noble on “Milky White”. Even the hype sticker says that. I opened it up, and it’s 100% clear. On Discogs there’s a clear variant but it has a slightly different album cover. Not sure which one to categorize mine under on Discogs!

 

The Fall of Troy self titled came in

 

My guess if they have different album covers is that is the milky white variant still. Sometimes there can be large differences in color like that across variants.

 

I have a spare sealed copy of Lowborn (I assume it's black), if you want to make an offer.

 

I finally have all my records in outer sleeves now. Well, except for Neighborhoods, it is too thick. It’s really weird. I was able to fit a sleeve on TEN’s triple album, but not Neighborhoods.

I guess I should invest in inner sleeves for the vinyl itself now. What recs does anyone have for those?

Some of this year’s beauties:

 

Callous Daoboys and FFXIV Boxset V2 came in. That's all I had left for the year. Next up, Casey and Touche Amore in January.

 

Psyched to finally have a copy of this. And it's half glow in the dark so that's fun. There's also a really long retrospective interview in the insert. Every re-release should have something like this.

 

Following you on IG

 

Found a gem in the used section

 

I posted this in the tech forum but hoping someone in here has an opinion:

What's the better sounding wireless headphones option, AirPods Max or the WH-1000XM5’s? I am a heavy Apple user but not really sold on the APM’s. For wireless, I’ve owned Sennheiser and Sony’s in the past. I’ve read about a dozen reviews and perused “best” lists and I’d love a normal users opinion on this. If you like another wireless headset, happy to hear about those as well. Thanks.
