Online Vinyl Deals

UDmusic customer service is awful.
No phone# published on their site.
Unable to cancel an item 5 mins after ordering and getting them to respond to the return request for said item is comical.

Not sure if they are being intentionally sly or what.
Getting close to filing a dispute with cc company.

Finally broke down a few minutes before it was over as I had about 3-4 things sell out anytime I finally almost hit the $100 mark. I've been wanting that Only Lovers Left Alive soundtrack for the last few sales so happy to finally grab that at the silly low price. I could have probably got the Prince a bit cheaper but the waiting was getting old 🙃
 
Newbury Comics is having a 25% off sale starting at midnight EST tonight. Looking though their exclusives, this one is still available, it’s a great reissue, and as far as I know, the only way to get Big Star’s Third on vinyl outside the box set.

I constrained myself to just this one somehow 🙃
 
The best band to come out of Lawrence is the Appleseed Cast. I will die on this hill.

Yes, this is truth. I'll defend this hill with you.

Who the hell is Appleseed Cast????

;)
One of those early Midwestern emo bands (before that genre became all commercialized and became a Hot Topic meme) that slowly evolved into a more experiential indie band. I don't know how to classify their sound, but it has heavy influences from early emo (e.g., Sunny Day Real Estate), shoe-gaze (i.e., whole wall of guitar sounds, buried lyrics, etc.), and then post-rock with the build-ups/crescendos. When I was seeing them in Madison, WI in the early 2000's their album Low Level Owl Vol 1 and 2 just came out, and it was experimental and a breath of fresh air. Think Pitchfork gave it a 9.0 (if that matters). Their drummer at the time had an intriguing off-kilter approach (you can hear it in Steps and Numbers below). Their sound now is much more polished, and I especially enjoy their instrumental "post-rock" songs. It was the layered guitars and drumming that drew me in.

Edit: I have great difficulty describing music, if I can accurately describe it at all.
