Pre-Order Thread

Also, I seen a lot of news this week regarding the fact that Sam Neal was 22 years older than Laura Dern in the first Jurassic Park. While this one s not uncommon in Hollywood. I was still surprised at how large the difference in age was in this instance. It’s not that Neal looked young or Dern looked old but 22 years is a pretty large gap, larger than I had expected.
Laura Dern has looked 35 for 35 years now. It’s impressive really.
 
Watching the Rangers-‘Canes NHL playoff game last night, they were talking about the players on the ice who’d been born in the 2000’s. What?!
Die hard Rangers fan here. Some time during the playoffs in 2014 - 2017, I recall they asked a handful of players to name the members of the Beatles. Many of them couldn't name even two, much less one. I remember being deeply disappointed that Henrik was unable to name all 4, knowing that he plays guitar.

I was wrong - it wasn't during the playoffs. I can't get the video to play, but there is a brief description about it. And, I'm even more disappointed now to see that Henrik only named one!

This is a must buy for me. One of my favorite jrpg's from the last 20 years tbh. I'm actually going to try and sell my original EarthBound cartridge to get enough funds for it and other stuff. 😬😬😬😔😔😔

After a show in Key West, FL in 2005, Dr. Dog guitarist Doug O'Donnell wandered into a run-down dive bar called Chart Room and ordered a drink. There were only a handful of regulars in the bar, but one of them came over and sat down next to Doug after hearing that he was a touring musician. For the next two hours, this scraggly, bearded man unrolled his own incredible history while Doug unrolled the $5 bills of his touring per diem to keep them both in rum and cokes. The man was “Sloppy” Joe Flappens. In the early to mid-70's, as he told it, Sloppy Joe was one of the kings of the southern Florida beach bar scene. His band, “The Cruise," would pack houses all over the area, years before Jimmy Buffet's “Margaritaville” took the tropical soft rock sound to the top of the charts. Buffett and Flappens worked the same circuit, and, while not exactly friends (there was, according to Joe, “a woman to blame” for this), they occasionally performed together. Sloppy Joe and the Cruise recorded one legendary album in 1975 before disbanding. A tragic accident left Joe unable to play guitar and the completed album was shelved - literally (above Joe's couch, next to his record collection). He spent the ensuing years as a fishing guide, maintaining a laid back lifestyle in obscurity until his death in 2018. At that point Doug (who had become Joe's biggest fan and occasional penpal) received the master tapes in the mail (per Joe's will) and began trying to expose the world to this lost classic.

EDIT: Bonus Lathe Cut 7" available. if you are diggin' this, have an IG account (I don't) you can Pre-order from PIAPTK direct and take the "Fruity Drink" Challenge details on their site below.
This is a deep BUMP.. but.. if you never checked this out when it was released a few years ago, I recommend you do.

Did all those who were waiting for theirs finally get it? If so, how is it?

Looks like second market prices are wild but I’m sure it’s worth it ..

It’s great. Got it back in the fall/winter (?). I’m not sure it’s worth the markup unless you’rea huge Prine fan or were at the set, but it’sa nice package and sounded good after a couple cleanings.
