Bright Eyes // Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was (Red/ Orange Vinyl)

Transparent red / transparent orange vinyl. Sometimes it feels like you hear a Bright Eyes song with your whole body. From Conor Oberst's early recordings in an Omaha basement in 1995 all the way up to 2020, Bright Eyes' music tries to unravel the impossible tangles of dissent: personal and...

I’ve been waiting - hopefully it’s a better pressing. I seem to recall the first one was a noisy mess. I heard complaints, but mine sounds fine. Didn't stop me from ordering this one tho. Willing to buy it again to see if it is just an overall better pressing/cut. If it is Reznor...

My post was deleted. I was messaged with an accusation of "doxxing" -- presumably for posting a company's public address? -- and threatened with a ban.

I looked at this as a space we were expected to protect and self regulate. If these are the only situations where admins plan to interject and apply authority, then it feels like something is desperately off around here.

This sounds like a weird animal of a project: Start with the intent to make a double album that doesn't have any filler, and solve that issue by collaborating with a different band for each side? Seems like the shorter path from A to B is...not to force yourself into releasing a double album?

Yeah, the description on that page is bizarre. This is not a double album like All Things Must Pass, Physical Graffiti, and Tusk are double albums. This is...four EPs with one consistent member across them?

EDIT: Wait, I just went back to look. The post itself hasn't been deleted, just the address was edited out. Seems reasonable to me, if not strictly necessary.

That's reasonable to me, too. All I have is this alert

And a personal DM being threatened with a ban. It wasn't clear enough to me what specific element was forbidden, only that I was "doxxing" and getting the boot if I cross this vague line again. It didn't specifically state the address being the reason, but it's all public knowledge. The posts seemed suspect, so I literally just typed the user's listed last name into Google with the company and it popped up. It was listed as a business address so, If anything, that's free promotion.

If it's the address... okay.

If it's something else/more, I don't know how to make the point that so and so is who they are with that particular connection, without saying who they are and pointing out that connection. They're using their own name, own photo, own city and posting links to their own company. I wasn't trying to divulge 'secret" info. I'm just saying, "c'mon. Feel free to stick around, but be up front, because this feels disrespectful."

If the company address is the issue, I'm not going to push back on removing that. I really wasn't trying to "doxx" anyone.

I'll even apologize if it seems like I'm tripping or overreacting on any level. I'm not trying to unrealistically conflate anything here, but I do currently live in a city with a militarized police force brutally assaulting peaceful citizens, while ID-ing and threatening to arrest them, just for trying to go home to their own apartments. Meanwhile, they follow it up by escorting armed white nationalists in a tirade throughout the exact same area they've roped off and beaten people for getting too close to the day before. Anything I interpret as protecting the rights of people perpetrating suspect behavior to perpetrate it, while chastising or reprimanding those who push back against it for pushing back against it, can be a bit triggering, right now.

Remove the address. Remove the whole post. I just think the priorities might be a bit off. If you have a vinyl company to promote, I feel like this is a fairly welcoming community and platform to promote it, as long as you're respectful about it and it doesn't feel like you're trying to dupe anyone.
