Bows + Arrows LP

Made it 4 weeks without purchasing a record. Happy to break it for this one.

 

No idea which one to choose...

 

found a white whale!
marbled gray version.
gonna take a short break from buyin.
crimson from AK3 should ship this friday too.

 

The VMP Death Cab variants are nice, but I already have180g black copies of them all so I should resist. I should.

 

Is the Crimson preorder from 1234go that got emailed this morning those 10” versions? Didn’t see it mentioned in the details

 

My latest pick-ups!

 

I'm 99% sure they are. I think it's possible some shops don't even know they're 10" sets because Vagrant knows that fact is controversial at this point.

 

yeah if I cop the transatlantism and the photo album , that would be my third copy. I have the OG German press of Trans and OG of TPA and the box set.

 

Ok question of the day:

opinions on 7”’s?
Favorite 7” you own?
Rarest 7” you own?

I have maybe 100 or so but rarely listen to them, though can’t find it in me to get rid of them. I’m a discography collector so they are vital to that. My favorites are my OG death cab “your bruise”, a copy of the frumpies that had a hand written letter from a member of bikini kill, or OG The Smiths. Rarest? I’ll have to come back but your bruise by death cab is super rare

 

I love collecting 7" records. When I travel places, I like to find a local record store and pick up a couple random 7" records from their punk/hardcore sections, just for fun. I started a YouTube channel for those, if you're curious about what I've picked up so far.

 

I like looking at my 7' records (and I like hearing the songs- a bunch of them are things I don't have in other formats), but they're kind of a pain to play. I listen to everything at least a few times when I get it, and have done a few complete playthroughs of the collection over the years, but pretty rarely pull out individual ones for regular listening (outside of catching up the non-12" formats on my vinyl Instagram each summer).

They're more convenient than 10" records only for the needle drop, but less convenient for how much you have to flip everything and make sure you have the right settings for size/speed.

My dream is to someday have a jukebox or something where I can just load them up and safely automate playing them, but that's realistically never going to happen haha

 

I generally don't seek out a lot of 7" records but if it is a band that I love and have everything else of I'll complete the collection. Example being Relient K, I grabbed every release from their 7" collection. I rarely listen to them but knew I wanted the full set.

A recent exception is Manchester Orchestra's I've Got Friends 7". I Was a Lid is my favorite song of theirs and I finally found a copy that was "only" expensive instead of incredibly expensive

 

I also don't really go for 7"s very often, but I do have more than I remember.

Most rare are probably

• Butch Walker - Chrissie Hynde/Growing Up (Don't Let Me Down)
• You, Me, & Everyone We Know - A Great Big Hole EP
• Forgive Durden - Beware the Jubjub Bird...
• The Menzingers - No Penance/Cemetery's Garden

But I honestly have no idea. Haven't logged into my Discogs account in forever.

 

Got rid of a bunch of random 7" recently.

I don't think I have anything too special. Rarest are probably:

• Margot & The Nuclear So And So's - Broadripple Is Burning / Holy Cow
  
  
• Bayside - Already Gone
  
  
• Jimmy Eat World - My Best Theory / Stop (signed by the whole band otherwise not really worth much)
  
  

 

my most expensive 7” records in terms of value are probably my tswift pictures to burn / should’ve said no singles. swifties are crazy.

i have a couple hundred 7”. i’m almost done collecting all jimmy eat world 7” but once i do that, there aren’t a ton of singles i still will want to seek out. they are a pain to play and in most cases i have those same songs already on the album they originated from. sometimes they include a remix i don’t have or something but i don’t necessarily need those.

 

Live Vampire Weekend coming tomorrow

 

oh shit!

 

My favorite 7”

Bealtes bought in Japan
OG Posh Boy Black Flag Louie Louie
The Chariot is just one of my all timers
Copeland 7” was playing when I asked my wife to marry me
Death cab first 7”
OG fugazi, need I say more
Mineral/Jimmy eat world/sense field split. God tier 7”
Lo there do I see my brother aka the only thing out out on a label I started
My chem and both smiths 7” I bought in London
OG starflyer 59 7”

 

Selling a few records, price negotiable on everything. All out of shrink wrap, but never played. I basically just collect.

Straylight Run - Live At The Patchogue Theater
Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul
Green Day - Warning
Brand New - Science Fiction
Ruston Kelly - Halloween
Now, Now - Saved
Taking Back Sunday - Happiness Is
Gang Of Youths - Angel in Realtime
Ruston Kelly - Shape and Destroy
The Get Up Kids - Four Minute Mile
Alkaline Trio - This Addiction
Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed?

 

I have some 7"s, but not a ton. Maybe 2 of those little vintages boxes to hold them all in. I have some rare Ryan Adams 7"s that I was collecting when he was putting that stuff out. Because of him, I fell in love with Phoebe's music and bought the Killer 7" right away, which is probably my most valuable 7". I'd have to say my favorites are the local, unsigned bands I love like Moonflower and Small Mess. Both bands are on spotify and really worth checking out if you're interested. Just top notch. It's also a little annoying to have to take apart the debut carbon just to change the speed back and forth to 45, so I don't really do it all that much.


Some of my rarest/favorites-
Phoebe Bridgers - Killer
Moonflower - Feel it Too
Small Mess - Split & 5" single
Ryan Adams -1984 & Prisoner Box set
Basement - Further Sky
Bon Iver/Peter Gabriel - Come Talk to Me/Flume
Manchester Orchestra - Wolves a Night b/w Sacred Heart

 

That's awesome. Assuming from a local shop?

 

how much for dig out your soul

 

What's the elevator pitch for VMP? Is it like a modern Columbia House? haha
