Pre-Order Thread

I am FOMO but not spending $40 on a thing that I don't particularly like. I'm still not jaded enough to buy something strictly to flip it.
Yeah, if you don't like it, definitely don't go for it. I personally was sucked into the sound after sampling a couple tracks. Does that mean it'll earn a permanent stay in my collection? Maybe, maybe not.

I have never gotten the whole vaporware thing personally (though my taste is always changing, if you told me a couple years ago I would really dig 1970’s jazz fusion I would have laughed my ass off). There are plenty of albums I want more and when it’s something super limited that I am not super into I tell myself there is plenty of shit out there that I do currently want and that my $ would be better spent on plus it gives others the opportunity to get something they sure as hell would enjoy much more than me. To each his/her own though, the collecting aspect to this hobby is a large part of its appeal.

Vaporwave to me doesn't come across as music, it comes across as a constant feeling or emotion cemented in a particular time and place. I know that's corny AF but it really resonated with me after months/years of not listening to it because I thought it was a weird niche style of music that only internet memers a generation below me understood. Alas, I now follow like 4 different surreal meme accounts and laugh my ass off daily.

I think it was George Clanton's 100% Electronica that got me into it.
 
U2 'Unforgettable Fire' and 'Atomic Bomb' colored vinyl up for pre-order.

That was my sentiments exactly. I was always into groups/artists like FM-84 who took more an electronic heavy synth pop than what I’ve listened to. Then I started getting into the vapor wave genre. I’m not saying that I am heavily invested into the genre but, Late Night Delight was one I really enjoyed.

That makes complete sense though being a soulless vampire I need more than emotional resonance to be attracted to music. Not that I don’t enjoy emotional music and I appreciate the idea behind vaporwave It just hasn’t clicked with me.
 
Pre-orders for The Fever 333's album on pink vinyl are up! Album's been out on digital for months, finally on wax in late June.
FFO: Rage Against the Machine, letlive.


 
Not sure if there are any other Teen Suicide/American Pleasure Club/Run For Cover Records fans in here but they have a vault sale here


Also there is an auction on their EBAY store that started at 3 for more things including Wicca Phase, Field Medic, and American Pleasure Club
 
You are right. I posted that instead of buying in order to give my hands something to do while the opportunity waned away.

Truthfully, all that FOMO is the devil. I know that it's only been a week, but since the VMP forum vanished, not a single exclusive has sold out. Sometimes you have to weigh if you'll regret something later, because you'll want it and it will be difficult to track. That's the hard bit. But, most of the time, you'll just see and/or remember something else that you know you want, shortly after, and then have to debate spending more money on that.

Man I enjoyed this (and didn’t even know it existed). I really liked Flatbush Zombie’s early mix tape stuff BetterOffDEAD was great. I was super disappointed in both their studio albums (I think I dig their flow much more than their production choices) I enjoy the idea much more than the execution. And I really enjoyed Joey Bada$$ 1999 but haven’t kept up with him over the past 10 years. All that to say these guys all gel really well together of I really enjoyed all 3 tracks I have heard this far. Shipping was steep ($15) but I haven’t purchased any new hip-hop on wax in a while and now I am looking forward to rattling my windows with the deep bass on “Left Hand”. Good stuff. Thanks for showing me that it existed!

They're coming to WA Mu, which is a shit venue, but I'm probably gonna try and do it. I saw the Beast Coastal Tour back in the day when they played Neumos

Flatbush Zombie always reminds me of the local Tacoma group ILLFIGHTYOU I had them on a mix together. I always thought they were going to get bigger, they had some blog buzz for awhile but never really broke out Nationally it’s a shame their first record was really good. I also liked Ugly Franks’s solo stuff too. I have much kept up them though.
 
Couldn’t pass up this masterpiece

Over $20 for a 7” is too steep for my blood. Love the track though.
