Pre-Order Thread

I don’t think you need to stress too much over this. It’ll probably be a 4-LP box like the recent Being There and Summerteeth reissues. Those were both readily available for quite some time (my local still has a Being There).
Yeah - I got the colored variant of the Summerteeth.
I will want the same of the YHF.

I wanted the same of the AFTP - and got hosed by a late order.
I can still pick up the standard black at almost any store - but I refuse do to so out of spite over the debacle.

I don't want to have to settle for that on what is one of my desert island albums.

However - If anyone has an OG/1st Press copy of this in good condition they want to sell me now - then I can just forget all about the deluxe reissue. :cool:
 
Anyone able to comment on the new Big Thief wax? Seems like pretty widespread distortion issues from comments on Discogs and other reviews. Supposed to arrive today for me.

I guess I don’t relate to the concept of “settling” for black vinyl. Especially if it was one of my favorite albums, which makes it unlikely I’d ever want to sell/trade it in.
 
I should not have streamed this. I really, really, really like this album:

I just bookmarked this on Bandcamp the other day (BoomBaptist caught my attention as a rock-solid handle!)
I'll have to fast track it up the queue now.

Juicy is local and a friend of a friend, he's got some really cool projects on BC too. One of my favorites is Attention Kmart Choppers, wish I hadn't missed the vinyl for this one.



On Thanksgiving 1989, Kmart employee and audio enthusiast Mark Davis wandered behind the customer service desk to check out the store’s sound system, which looped muzak and top 40 plus ads and announcements under the banner of “KMRT, The Kmart Radio Network.” When he found last month’s tape hadn’t been thrown out yet, he pocketed it and made a habit of doing this, collecting 56 tapes from 1989-1992.

In September 2015, Davis uploaded the tapes to archive.org with the humble intention of preserving them. But within a few weeks he became an internet celebrity among obscure media fans and supplemented the collection with reel-to-reel tapes from the 70s and 80s thanks to Tom Schwarzrock, who acquired them serendipitously along with a deck he purchased. The tapes are like a consumerist time capsule, a vaporwave trove of eerily familiar corporate ephemera extracted from its original context and purpose.

Similarly, Attention Kmart Choppers is composed of pieces from this collection chopped up, resculpted, and mosaicked together by Juicy The Emissary, forming a new, distinctly contemporary sound while inheriting a haunting nostalgia that provokes memories burrowed deep in the subconscious.
