Pre-Order Thread

There’s now a 3rd pressing of 2000 units. This time in silver. It’s probably still at that link too! Or Merge Records website

I saw this, immediately went to Bandcamp & saw it was still sold out, and was somehow sure I'd missed it yet *again*... thankfully, last batch doesn't go up until tomorrow at 12p/3e

Yup! I should have clarified, but it is good to see that with the demand they’ve been adding more editions. If that version sells out instantly again, they might even do a 4th pressing (lol it’s not really a pressing of a cassette)

Colored variants sell out within a few hours for every NOFX release - fair warning!
I'm not a huge NOFX fan, but they are entertaining live (most of the time). I got to see them at the Dallas Texas Warped Tour back in 2006 and they were the last band to play that day. It started raining right when they began their set and they had to stop. Fat Mike comes out and says "we gotta cut this short because of the rain, so we can only play a few songs." They immediately start playing the decline. It was so friggin' awesome. It was over 100 degrees that day and it ended with the rain cooling us off and with a NOFX tear down

That sounds bad ass!
 
Minecraft Beta soundtrack is getting pressed

I have a question about vinyl releases for video game music. The collectors of these records seem rabid, which makes sense, because gaming is obviously a huge industry with a devoted fanbase. It makes me curious about the music itself. Is this something I should be checking out, as a music lover with interests in many different musical genres? And since I don't play video games, how do I even begin to learn about the games with the best music? I guess, since I'm clueless, I'm skeptical as to whether the video game vinyl releases that people go crazy for are actually bc the quality of the music vs their love of the game itself, and desire to own its associated collectibles.

I've had this question forever, but under stay-at-home-times I've begun chatting with friends while watching them play games over twitch, and my interest was peaked by the music for the game Shadow of the Colossus, which was really cool.

If you want to check some out, maybe start with the RYM chart for video game music? As someone who plays video games, I have a hard time separating the nostalgia from it and convincing myself I want to listen to the whole album often. Similar to movie soundtracks, sometimes the music is short snippets and don't sound as much like songs that flow as an album, obviously. I haven't bought any on vinyl yet. This is a classic though:

I personally feel the desire to own the Minecraft soundtrack because I played it a lot as a kid, and also because it's just a great fucking ambient album. There are probably some soundtracks from games I love that if they were placed on vinyl, I wouldn't buy it at all, because I wouldn't listen to it. (I.E. The Nier Automata Box Set that recently got restocked) To me, it's about if the soundtrack is iconic in my eyes, and something I'd listen to.

I think it's a bit of column A and B.

In some cases, the music is indistinguishable from a top notch movie soundtrack. Franchises like Zelda have had musical themes that are still used 20+ years later, similar to John Williams and his work in Star Wars. Would you enjoy the Star Wars soundtrack without seeing the movie? Possibly, but probably not as much as if you did.

And like Star Wars... there's a huge "collectibles" culture.

Great great album. I got the splatter version when it was first reissued, but to the uninitiated I highly recommend checking these fellas out.

dude, holy crap I'm liking this a lot.
 

OK this is a biggie. The debut album by the Appleseed Cast is being reissued by Thirty Something Records. The End of the Ring Wars is one of the best old school 90's Emo records and was only released on vinyl one time. Now it's coming back with new cover art and awesome colored vinyl. I highly recommend this album!!!

Think this will have US-based release as well, or only from EU?
And if you ordered, what's the total shipped to US?

Lawrence, KS represent!

I got more into them when they evolved into one of the better Post-Rock bands but I'm glad to see them get love anywhere on the interwebs.
