I already got a shipping notice on Dick's 12!

Yeah, it is an amazing version. The jamming is sublime: looks like 300 other Deadheads agree with me: Grateful Dead best China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider | headyversion

For the unfamiliar, this is an absolute killer release and I think the Side A China>Rider is the best version that the Dead ever performed.

Agreed, if you had a very modern, garage-esque design motif I could easily see these popping.

By any and all accounts, Jamal Murray is an all-star/3rd team NBA caliber player who just never has been either due to injury and/or not taking the regular season as importantly as he should. The idea that players 2-6 on the 22-23 Nuggets were worse than any other modern champion is just...

I think that last point is spot on, I think in all reality that Hakeem/Robinson/Ewing is a good comparison point for Jokic/Giannis/Embiid in terms of relative positioning on all time rankings and how we may remember this era.

Yes, Embiid won last year, Jokic won in 21 and 22. Giannis won the two years before that. I think the three are going to be historically linked.

It does feel a little historically off when compared to others eras, but all three were earned and if either Giannis or Embiid (the main competition the past few years) had the same number it would feel similarly strange. If I had a vote this year, I likely would have gone SGA this year as well...

VMP’s sweet spot is twofold: 1) AAA audiophile reissues, that tend to be the definitive 33 rpm release (think most Classics and a number of their older monthly titles) 2) Great sounding reissues of that haven’t been on vinyl in a long time (or ever) or have only a ho-hum standard release. A lot...

I am inclined to think that neither of them is going to come out of this feud the better for it.

That’s understandable as the consequence of no longer having your own pressing plant, or at least one strongly affiliated with you.

I would imagine though that they’ve known this for a few months now at least, law suits like this take a long time to prepare. So I don’t think it is unrealistic to think that the current time frames might actually be correct.

Looked and my only pre-order is the Impulse Anthology. I was surprised I didn't have any others, but that in a way is illustrative of the point that others have made regarding curation. Since it was 40% off, I'm going to let that one preorder ride, but I don't blame anyone for pulling out given...

I stacked them about 2-3 high, but never more than a few hours

When I moved, I found that liquor boxes actually worked best. I would go to my local ABC store(s) and after a few trips over a few weeks, I would have enough for the collection. They are super sturdy, the right shape, and hold just enough to be heavy, but still carriable.
