record store called me letting me know this was available. fully expected it to show up tomorrow (street date for physicals), which would probably be more difficult seeing as that we're getting some really bad winter weather this weekend. luckily i made it back to my apartment just as the snow started pouring down harder.

 

I’m hearing that IVC’s February record is Frou Frou - Details. I shouldn’t have cancelled it.

 

Yeah, gonna have re-sign up for that. Those both are huge.

 

getting me right away in 2026 huh
damn.

whens the right time to sign up? early jan?

 

January 1 at the specific time it goes live for DC - usually around 2pm EST?

 

Spitalfield Wax Mage

 

I didn’t even know there was a Wax Mage variant. When did that go up?

 

November 24th if I recall. Limited to 20.

 

oh snap OH SNAP. This will be filling a major need. Details still holds up to this day.

 

Good mail day today. The Thrice LP collection is finally complete.

 

Picked up two favorites that I didn’t even know were available, let alone pressed! Such a pleasant find at a record store where I stopped by to shop for my wife for Christmas (still got her both Wicked soundtracks on wax!).

 

It snowed last night and working from home today so had to spin one of my favorite winter albums.

 

Ugh, $45 for Homegrown?

 

Home Grown secured. White / Tangerine / Neon Orange

Truly a "never thought I'd get this" album for me on vinyl. Seemed too unknown and under the radar. So very very happy.

 

My thoughts exactly. I grabbed the cobalt... But that price....

 

And yes prices feel insane right now for everything.

 

I grabbed the cobalt too.

I guess 50+ minutes needed a double LP?

 

Yeah I just realized it's a double and I guess that justifies it... A little bit. But the reception is pretty good for this... Hopefully it sells out and we don't get free copies in our future PGR orders.

Well I can say I'm marked safe from 3oh3 dropping just now... Eww.

 

Pressing a thousand copies for Homegrown seems ambitious, but good for them.

 

as prices get more and more insane for new records I become increasingly more pleased with my local record store for trying to keep their prices as low as possible on new stuff and flat out cutting great deals on used stuff. in the last couple of months, I’ve bought a sealed copy of Sainthood by Tegan and Sara ($50), You Are OK by The Maine ($30), the 5th anniversary edition of Mac Miller’s Swimming ($30), and the pink/black swirl variant of On Letting Go by Circa Survive ($25), among other things, all well below what they go for on discogs and ebay. shout out to Hippo Records in Greensboro.

 

First pressing of 7a7p's debut EP.

 

Got a copy of that Home Grown release! Feeling the exact same way about this one as Jason. I never thought I'd get a chance to purchase it on vinyl.

Being able to do it on the same day I'll be seeing Junction 18 for the first time despite having been a fan since This Vicious Cycle came out in 2000 is certainly not something I had on my 2025 bingo card. LOL

 

I'm so mad I missed that 20... So mad that I may cancel my Homegrown order haha.
