The only minor differences are because of the nuances between state laws/courts* but yes, this is the process Bandbox went through to avoid formal bankruptcy proceedings that resulted in VNYL taking control of their remaining assets. *interesting this LLC was set up in CA. I was able to find...

Oh, right, that one would be cool, too; keep forgetting that's outstanding

Agreed it's been relatively quiet on that front lately. I decided to play it 'safe' and ordered the Zia RSD exclusive of Superchunk's Here's Where the Strings Come In. Maybe I'll eventually receive the Bandbox purple version to go with the yellow, maybe not, but at least I do have a copy...

Accepting I may have to wait a few years for the Patsy, as with Sweet Dreams. Of course, the latter only came down in price due to a 2nd pressing.

Of course, this was also Matt's MO even when things were going well

I had them all up until Touch of Schmilsson. That broke the spell because it showed how little thought VMP was still giving to curation. At the very least, if you couldn't get any of the titles you wanted that would actually fit Classics or were forced into it because they wouldn't let it be a...

If you thought comic book prices had gone up too much the last decade, it's about to get so much worse. https://bleedingcool.com/comics/comic-books-set-to-rocket-in-price-next-week-over-tariffs/ Yes, he relaxed the tariffs on Mexico today after they sent 10k troops to the border, but Canada...

Just in case anyone hadn't seen the notice yet, Rough Trade is about to switch over to Shopify and will be asking for payment immediately instead of charging right before the preorder ships. Also, any current preorders are going to be charged to your cc on file after the changeover on 06 Feb.

Granted this was 2017-18, so their process has likely changed, when my friend went to Sony about wanting to do a vinyl press of something from their archives/vault (band in question had signed with Capricorn in the mid-90s), they initially just wanted the band or label to pay a fee but then Sony...

They sent out an email on Tuesday that Blue Note is supposedly shipping but I haven't receive a notice yet. I'm sure there were delays for all their customers because nobody could foresee snow in January, or New Year's Day, or MLK Jr day

You're a year off for Crate, can't remember when Swaps started up (maybe 2017-18?, after the Classics & RHH tracks). I was one of the first people on Crate, due to not being interested in a monthly sub for records I didn't want (Torres, Hot Chip). I'd signed up for Menomena, and then reached out...

I was going to post about this in the Seattle thread, but maybe others are interested in the Hammerbox 7" that comes with The Gits :) My friend's label, Latent Print, is the 3rd piece of this.

For entirely different reasons, but I recall being blown away when I was introduced to Mission of Burma's stuff, a few years after they'd broken up; only hearing about the notorious live shows. It was amazing to actually be able to see them live when they were able to come up with protection for...

They were definitely edgelords, mostly shit-talking their fans, but the transphobic stuff was from a friend of the band who had access to their Twitter acct. The guitarist gave a lengthy, open interview earlier this year, talking about all of it. He comes across about as mature as someone could...

Amazon's helpful curation

That looks more like an someone who would want the GD box more than BN Maybe someone in the VMP parking lot will give him a miracle

As my membership ended, I used the last of my credits to bring the BN box down to $100. I'm holding out for it for now and will speak up if they can't get it right & I have Frankenparts :)

Beautiful! Next, please pretend you're also salivating over The Long Winters and Superchunk ;)
