Poll -Jay Reatard #4 Frenzy

[shit in can records]

I wasn't able to preorder, because I live in Europe and everything was sold by the time I log on that website. I'm upset, because I know they're gonna be sold for a huge amount of money on ebay by dirty scumbags who don't even care about the music. I got the first three Jay Reatard EPs and I really don't want to buy the LP. Fuck Matador. This is why people download music illegally and don't buy records anymore.

Fuck it, I'll take your bait.  What the fuck are you talking about?  Why is it you don't want the LP?  It seems like you are interested in the artifact and not the music.  Come October there will be an unlimited supply at a reasonable price.  Is that why you don't want to buy records anymore?

I think he just means he doesn't want to BUY the LP because he has half the music (on single format) already... 

Yeah that's what I meant. Sorry if people didn't understand this.

I was also mad that he was being told that since he wouldn't get a copy, he actually didn't like the music and wanted an "artifact".  Someone told him that.  I'm not going to feel bad for sticking up for him when he's told that kind of shit. 

Where did you read that I didn't like the music??? I love Jay Reatard. I just think that Matador isn't dealing with things properly, that's all.

No.  Thats what Matador was saying to you.  I was trying to come to your defense, but I guess you didn't know they were even giving you shit, so um, nevermind.

Yeah sorry. I just reread your post and edited mine.

No one will give a shit about either pressing of the Vivian Girls LP in 2 Years.

Cool.

'WATCHED AND LAUGHED' TAKES THE LEAD!

I am glad of this as I was beginning to question the sanity and sexuality of a number of my otherwise revered Termbrothers.

Damn. This forum is turning into the garagepunk forum now...

nobody on here will, but an original pressing will still be desirable among the indiepoppers.

Shocker: Two guys named "Doofus" and "Douchebag" don't like the Vivian Girls. Not saying you guys are idiots or anything, just saying that it's obviously not your taste... butIdon'twannagetintothatagain

Anyways, the point I was making is that, yes Justin, teenagers and college kids who never bought CD's (just downloaded stuff) are buying a lot of vinyl.

In the UK, 7" singles have actually CHARTED.

No indie label has been able to keep up with the vinyl demand. None.

This includes Matador, (Pavement, Yo La Tengo, GBV, can't keep it in print. Yeah, it's the "classic" shit, but still.)

Jay Reatard did a Go Betweens cover on a Goner 7". VG's are on In The Red. Shit's all meshed.

Cookie=crumbling.
Total War=DEATH.

that cover sucks so bad. and before anyone gets their feathers ruffled: it's competent, just that reatard doesn't add ANYTHING to an otherwise perfect song, so what's the fucking point?

sorry, man, i'm not convinced that that record is gonna sell very well once the hype has died down some. i think it's a solid record, BUT i like a lot of pussified records in a similar vein. i'm way more convinced that the people who already like that sorta sound, the same kinda folks who would attend a slumberland records festival, will still want an original press.

kevin from what's your rupture? and i like the first three clinic 45s so fuck all y'all

Collin, I was questioning my own sexuality yesterday as this was going down. Wait, did I say going down?

Mine was a combo of #2, 4 and 5 - preordered early and cancelled, didn't get one, and also laughed the entire time.

It's just a record of a couple thousand pressed, it'll be out there to be had. It's not like we're missing out on the one chance to nab a Leftovers original PS for $6.50ppd or anything.

[fuckgaze]

matador site is already fucked up!

[mikesniper]

Obviously not my taste because of my user name?  That's a very intelligent assumption.  My comment was about the different pressings, not the band, but feel free to take it personally.  Do you own this band now?

It was a joke, dude. I was just commenting on the back to back usernames.

I have terrible internet humor.

Yes, I own the band. I'm putting them for sale on eBay with a complete set of Jay's.

I just got mine!  Wowser!  Just kidding I went to Dunkin Donuts and bought a soothing large ass coffe with real cream instead.  Now I'm listening to Testors and Fang filling my own orders.  PS, I got some Blood Visions ya creeps.  I got the blood demo 7" too.

Yesterday I got through really easily.  Ordered in about three minutes, wham bam thank you, Ma'am.  Today, I couldn't get anything from the Matador site other than Firefox telling me I was all "Timed Out".  I gave up after about three hits of the "refresh" button.  I was only half-interested today anyway after the bad taste left from yesterday's fuck up.

Anyway, yesterday I tempered my annoyance with the Matadorks by ordering some stuff from a label I actually like (ordered three records from Tic Tac Totally, including the elusive Nobunny).
