I just pre-ordered the "Only God Forgives" score on vinyl. They also have the Man of Steel soundtrack score in 2-disc vinyl sets. Don't know about that one. I'll see the film first.

Who is they? Amazon? I've been liking all the music I've heard from Man of Steel so far.

Yeah, Amazon. Shit, forgot to link it:

Only God Forgives

http://www.amazon.com/Only-God-Forgi...ref=pd_sim_m_6

Ordered my new Rega RP-1 today. Tracking says it'll be here Tuesday!

Good month for albums too. I've got pre-orders in for the re-issue of Revolutions Per Minute by Rise Against, the first Kadavar album, and the re-issue of King Crimson's Red. I'm also hoping to get hold of Mad Season's Above.

Oh yeah, new August Burns Red in late June, too!

(sorry -- double post)

King Crimson Red re-release:

You can get it June 3 from Burning Shed if you don't want to wait.

There has been a really stupid American Express commercial on Hulu this week. Briefly: Hipster girl shopping for vinyl. Hipster girl paying with her AmEx. Hipster girl trying to eat a blue record.

I've seen that, that shit makes me angry.

This one:

The fuck?

I dont even understand it.

I mean, I smell my vinyl when I open them, but eat them?

I just wanna punch her.

She's from the IFC TV show Portlandia, among other things, which obviously, some of you have never seen. As with the show, the commercial is very much a parody, or sarcastic look, at hipsters and such. In other words, it's supposed to be somewhat stupid, as it's poking fun. Once you realize that, it is actually kind of funny.

I pre-ordered that Red release, but from Amazon.

I also found a very nice copy of Vangelis' Opera Sauvage on ebay, so I ordered that.

Yeah, Burning Shed is a little too proud of their shipping.

Have you gotten the other KC re-releases?

I have a very nice original pressing of Court of the Crimson King, but I'm strongly considering the re-releases for Lizard and In the Wake of Poseidon because they are pretty expensive to get original pressings. And I have Red on pre-order from amazon as well (apparently they've pushed back their release to July for that one).

I'm considering getting some of the other re-releases, but I'll see how Red sounds first.

I also just ordered the new Queens of the Stone Age from Matador. It's on backorder, but it was cheaper than Amazon.

When I pre-ordered QUOTSA, it was much cheaper at Best Buy, but $15 ... but does not appear to be any more.

It is a great album... I posted this in the QUOTSA thread


I should add, the records play at 45

The über box set of Nick Drake's Bryter Later is currently available.

You can't get the Pink Moon box any more so I assume this will be limited.

The Raid vinyl came in today. I did not get the limited "smoke gray" colored variant:

The LP arrived today. Such a fun listen. Practically had a smile on my face the whole time.

My copy of "13" shipped today. Already have the digital copy, too. I'll wait for the throwback spin on Tuesday. Maybe it'll get here Monday.

I love it.

at the Carrie Brownstein hate.

It's not so much hating her (i don't even know who she is) but the dumb commercial. I saw it on my 55" TV upstairs and saw there was even a blue piece of plastic in her mouth.

You definitely have to know Portlandia to fully get the commercial.

Must be hipster humor. I've never seen Portlandia. I always get Community and Portlandia confused with each other.
