I feel the same way. What better way to catch up?

 

My mail looked a little thick today for what I ordered and I open it up to find the seller tossed in a copy of The Maine's XOXO for free in the shipment (and some Yellowcard, MxPx, and Copeland stickers).

Now, that's one helluva nice way to end my day.

 

whoa, what? and I thought Polyvinyl giving away Airheads was generous

 

That’s cool as hell. What was the original order?

 

Haha. I knew you were gonna ask. I’m a weak man. Went on a big Cartel kick this week and felt ~~**the pull**~~ to finish the catalog.

 

Oh man. Haha. I dig it. Judgement free zone. I’ve been weak for 6 months when it comes to vinyl purchases.

 

I need to be really good for the next 3 months, I'm at my yearly budget. But I tell myself this year had a big run of ones I'd been waiting on for a long time.

 

Having a budget in mind is definitely something I need to implement (next year). Haha. I’m still working on getting Chroma. Not many options out there - all ridiculously priced. I’m partial to the Field Day Green / Clear Haze variant.

 

I have the ultra clear version (wtf why is that so expensive lol), and the red/white live version.

 

Would you say the live version is a decent consolation prize? Does it sound good?

 

It's a fun listen IMO, and I wish it was on streaming.

 

I’d suggest upping your budget for the next two years. Lots of 20 year anniversaries coming up. This year was loaded with them, too.

 

Haha, my budget isn't particularly low

 

That cracked me up.

 

And yet, push the budget higher the next two years. Haha

 

I’m doing a budget next year. Plus my shelf is 5/6 cubes full so if I start buying too many more I gotta start selling some.

 

Didn’t even know that live version of Chroma existed. Just ordered a very reasonably priced copy from Discogs. Oops.

 

Hopefully you’ve set aside the Catalyst and SoCo money? Or at least have them lined up as gifts.

 

I've never bought a vinyl before and I don't have a means of playing it yet but my TGG Anniversary edition came in today

 

Haha. I’ll get Catalyst no matter what that for sure. I have both SoCo albums but the variants may entice me like the devil SoCo is.

 

I don't really have a pre-planned budget, I just try not to spend over $20 on one vinyl unless it's a preorder. With books, cds, and dvds the limit is a bit closer to $10. I say to myself I'm not spending too much but then all of a sudden I'm running out of shelf space and wondering where all my money went.

 

I have a special savings account that receives $1 from my checking any time I make a debit card purchase. That’s my vinyl fund lol. Hasn’t always been that way but it’s an easy way limit my spending, if that account won’t cover it I won’t buy it. Unless it’s a pre-order at risk of selling out immediately. Or if I’m drunk lol

 

I would love that AOF box set but shipping that to the UK will be …a lot

 

Same. No idea this was pressed! I think AP.net posted the live Q+A from this and I always wondered where the rest was.

 

Glad to see the Gospel repress finally corrected the tracklist on the back
