Happy for the Everclear fans (who have been spoiled by Intervention Records!), but I really hope Marcy Playground gets Shapeshifter on vinyl.

When I looked there were 10! Yellow Dog Discs had it. I don't know why I don't start there - they've saved me the last 2-3 years! And it was cheaper.

I think the Oldies sale was an anomaly, and they'll probably think about doing it again once they get everything from the last one shipped out.

The new Eels album has been $12.49 all day on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWS26NLM

How did I miss that Shivaree's I Oughta Give You A Shot In The Head For Making Me Live In This Dump finally got a vinyl release (and came out a couple weeks ago)? I thought I was subscribed to Music On Vinyl's newsletter. Anyway, I'm very excited.

And another $10 for shipping. Love them, but fuck them. Super easy pass.

Maybe? But that's just one of many factors and probably exaggerated. It's not like labels are multiplying the target number of copies equally with each variant. Except maybe Adele. There's almost always a cap in place for each variant. And I'm not saying it can't happen, but I work with a lot...

Or they're just giving record shops a chance to make some money? If someone is buying 10-15 variants of any album, who cares? Most people are just going to buy the one the like best or can find cheap. Weird watching you all get upset about this particular album for that particular reason...

I've heard so many stories about Newbury making bad financial moves over the years. At least moving several stores into malls with no traffic wasn't shortsighted. They're just playing the long game.

Free shipping was still in effect when I ordered this afternoon.

Any time I can avoid a show in Boston it's a sweet deal.

Just got 10th row for PJ Harvey in Montreal. I was in the queue for the Boston show and noticed the next date was a weekend show in Montreal at a fully seated venue instead of a GA club on a Wednesday in Boston. No brainer! Hope the currency exchange stays that favorable!

"reading the room" at a remedial level.

Counting it as a HUGE win that The Cure are just releasing a black vinyl version of Paris and not a picture disc for RSD!

Pearl Jam (should be easy with 15K) and the Sponge "lost album" for me. Other stuff I'd pick up later when it pops up. Guess I get to sleep in!
