Lol I was literally hovering over that one last night and ended up watching Unhinged instead. I am also a sad old man at 44 and love that movie.

rock albums that can be done for february.. ranked from most likely to least
The Black Keys - Thickfreakness (tied for the number 1 choice, very much a safe pick for VMP, they like the band, critically well received, no major issues, though easy to obtain is popular enough to accept a newbury style new color, and that brothers reissue implied more reissues)
The Strokes - Room on Fire (the other tie, basically for the same reasons as the black keys)
Linkin Park - Meteora (VERY popular and hard to get but that also might be a fight against it. plus it was originally going to be on RSD but i think i heard it was cancelled or at least very difficult to get so that is very much a factor)
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step (not very easy to get, but i dunno if maynard would support VMP doing it as an exclusive)
Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth (VERY unlikely due to how obtuse and difficult it might be to do the album, especially with the lengthy 5 album concept album its part of)
Brand New - Deja Entendu (HIGHLY unlikely due to the allegations against jesse lacey... but then again they DID do john mayer so there is a 1% chance)

Lol I can't see them doing Meteora but would be fine with it. People would freak out and it would be polarizing I imagine

i mean its very popular but linkin park aren't nearly as controversial as they were back in the time they were the ultimate meme
also i forgot that against me! as the eternal cowboy is a possibility but i would say its pretty unlikely...

I don't really think the Coheed record is "obtuse." It's been one of my favourite albums ever since it came out and the story/concept is not necessary to enjoy it. It's just a rock n roll album.

you're right, I guess in the end, it doesn't really matter

i think the fact that the RSD copy was basically cancelled gives it a BIT of a chance but i also feel unsure about saying its the choice.. its PROBABLY the black keys.

I am not trying to understand DHL anymore.
I sold a record on cogs and sent it to the netherlands where they claimed it was rek´jected by the buyer( despite my buyer having the tracking link and confirmed he waited home on delivery day) and they sent it back for an additional cost to me of 12€. SO i called the hotline and they asked me how i came to the idea that they could doanything for me because clearly it was a mistake of dhl netherlands and they are only dhl germany and could do nothing for me

USPS is super bogged down right now. I have several shipments that are still moving around the system that were shipped two and a half weeks ago. One in pre-shipment still from the 2nd. Pretty crazy and hopefully it gets to you by Christmas.Still waiting on my ROTM that i got a notification for on Dec 4th,

Definitely down for Kid Cudi. The Stokes is a pretty great album but not sure if I'll spin it enough, never was something I have to own on vinyl. Never been a huge country fan so going to have play John Prine before I decide. I'm torn on RHH for the next three months as well. I'll likely double dip on Killer Mike (probably sell my copy on discogs) and may get Quasimoto, but all in all not excited as I've been the past three months.
