New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Re: Dow Jones & the Industrials 2xLP

« on: July 20, 2016, 05:52:21 AM »

is there a way to get the 2lp + 7" without the dvd?

Also, you can bundle the CD + 7", but not the CD + 7" + DVD.
(Which would've been a considerably cheaper option for non-US buyers than Shipping the 2LP + 7" + DVD.)
Still, don't want to sound too snarky, this looks a great "package". Incredible, really..:.)

Due to a surprise demand on the DVD - I've just updated the options that allow people to buy any configuration. So, a CD+7+DVD is now possible.

I'll alter any previous orders if people want to make changes based on this.

Thanks for the positive response.
I'm currently waiting to hear back from a UK Distro on the 2LP - how's stock on the 7" going?

This'll probably be impossible for me following USPS Shipping hike & post-Brexit pound crash (yeah, I voted for it).
Major bummer.

from a seller in Ireland, presumably a Muslimgauze fan.

Seller's Shipping Information
buyer pays shipping.
flat rates worldwide as follows:

?4 to ship a cd
?4 for a 7"
?8.50 for an lp

additional items sometimes will have reduced combined total shipping cost. Depends if you are buying some expensive lps or ?0.10p 12's.... message me before you order for combined orders please. I can no longer ship to Israel. Nothing personal to Israel citizens, just solidarity with Palestine.

All I can do with that is laugh.

I've never gotten a single order from someone in Israel. I did once buy a Victor Jara LP from a seller in Israel. Shipping was reasonable and it was well packages, USPS somehow managed to get the box wet though.

Anyways.... I'm pretty Pro-Palestinian (and a Muslimgauze fan) but I think no "hearts and minds" will be won over banning buyers or sellers from Israel on discogs.com, that's pretty absurd.

Is this the guy flogging overpriced V-3/Shep records?
Doing his bit to save the world one record sale at a time.
What a wanker.

I really liked the Forever Changes volume, and the one on the Afghan Whigs album Gentlemen is also pretty good. The one about Let It Be is probably good if you're a lonely and misunderstood 13 year old, but has very little about the album or the band.

Beatles or Replacements? I'm assuming the latter.

At least you didn't have to waste 20+ years on her before you found out what she was like.
And have to divide the house.
And record collection.

That Sleeping Beauties record is great! It's been on constant rotation around here since it came out. I don't get any black lips vibes whatsoever. Black Lips wish they could make records like this. It's like some damaged mirrors/vu stuff channeled through guys who have accepted the mess they've made of their lives and can only laugh. but hey, what do i know.

not sure why people would flip for that Hunches demo LP and not see what a gem this is.

Total agreement. The 'Damaged' aspect is what makes so many of my fave records what they are. It's why I don't - can't - exclusively (or even mainly) listen to 'classic rock'. It's why I'm on this board. It's why I'll never be 'happy' or even 'contented'. But not miserable. If I can help it.

Hart mentioned in a recent interview Alex Chilton washing dishes too. The new economy is the old economy. We have no function and we sleep on trash. Self-destruction beats self-improvement (yeah, 'Fight Club' ref). At least as far as creating great art goes.

Can I just recommend 'More Than Enough' by David Nance out on Ba Da Bing recently? The follow-up to the classic 'Actor's Diary' on Grapefruit Record Club. Some great songs and uninged destructo guitar. It rips.

I like Eat Skull, the Hunches and Sleeping Beauties. I'm about three / four plays in, and it gets better each time.

I might have made some bad / regrettable music purchases in my time, but that doesn't include Eat Skull, and I'm betting not SB:s either.

Wish I could see them play live, but that's highly unlikely.

Voting 'leave' does not make you a fascist. Although maybe you are enjoying the chaos?

Thanks. Not a fascist then, but possibly a "clown and buffoon". Or is that just the "Leave" campaign leadership? It's hard to tell.

It's pretty clear here in banana republic UK where the intolerance is really - mainly - coming from curently. Left-wingers with degrees, spitting on the former-working classes for daring to kick upwards towards their "betters". (Which is what happens when you ignore the nowt-to-lose majority for too long.)

Checkout the posting below from the Fat White Family for a taste of the kind of clueless filth that's been spouted all too freely since the Brexit result came in.:
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1309878889041269&id=258219897540512

As for enjoying the chaos, (aside from Westminster party leadership travails) I haven't seen nearly enough - yet. But yeah, hopefully the splintering of the UK will follow. Something I've dreamt of since the Thatcher-era.

Anyhow, the EU stinks. You'd think we'd voted to leave some kind of utopian partnership of equal nations working for the benefit of all their citizens, rather than the undemocratic body [& force for neo-liberalism, globalisation, austerity and mass unemployment, as directed by Goldman Sachs - "coincidentally" the alma mater of one Mark Carney] that it actually is.

As things stand (at the very least) - barring a Govt betrayal I can't write-off as yet - we're out of TTIP.

That alone is worth celebrating AFAIC.

As this LP doesn't ship outside the US (and USPS Shipping rates are now officially insane anyway), and I'm not aware of any Euro distribution - some may like to know that a FLAC/mp3, etc version is available here for the price of a few Euros. Needs must when he devil drives. They reissued it on the original cassette format (now sold-out) in 2015:
