There are loads of mint copies of this on Discogs for 14 quid. I was under the impression this was gonna be a super rare thing? Obviously not
I think that's due to some record shops now permitted to sell their excess stock online or whatever? Norman Records put up all their stock listings... That £14 price is from one seller (thoroughly legit going by their feedback rating), could be legit or could be a listing error. Either way, that'll drive the price down across the board.
Digital is showing on Blerp for Monday release as well.
Flashback is just around the corner from where i work, they're great. Would recommend.

Made John Barrowman say all the wrong words but in the right order:
If you want to see the original shite he spouted, tis this one:
"…shickaggoe..."

You can order from Brewdog online...I imagine shipping to the North Americas will be somewhat prohibitive though? £16 plus £7 shipping to ship a six-pack in the UK alone o_O
Definitely recommend it...if you like Goose Island/Sierra Nevada style IPA then YES.
And aye...a protest beer...wtpffft....at least you can always sing Gay Bar when you're drinking it:
"...you...I've got something to Putin you...."

Drug of choice at the moment is Marks & Spencer Meantime Black IPA:
On a recent trip to Australia, these two were really nice finds…Little Creatures IPA:
…and the 4 Pines El Dorado IPA:
And just tried one of them Brewdog Vladimir beers, a 'double IPA' of 8.2%…lush as fuck.
Order it online though, as one takeout bottle from Brewdog in Shoreditch was £5.27 (after 'discount')…they're £2.89 on the website FFS:
In summary then, IPA IPA IPA

Could either of you name the last piece of 'proper' pop music that grabbed your attention?
By proper I mean mainstream and/or chart-bothering, if that helps.

re quadrange, we'd been wanting to do something with variant mixes for a while, in some part due to having a wealth of Eps and extra B sides from artists like Depeche Mode in the past - some of their deepest tracks were unique alternative mixes nothing like the singles or LP versions, and they came across as more intense or over produced even, it was a really nice way to feel what they were doing behind the usual framework they set out in the mainstream…..like a real treat.
Those early 90s DM mixes were my gateway drug to electronic music I suppose...they sent me off on quite a few different musical paths.
It wasn't long after those that I heard your Skin Up You're Already Dead remix of St Etienne...what a heid-burster that was...I still play it a lot now, 19 years on.
So, I guess this is probably like having to choose between your offspring, or whether you prefer June to July, but do either of you have a favourite remix/reworking you've done?

Also...beautiful.

we need those wheel pick-up and roller things for work.
Yeah, worth their weight in gold they are. We use these 'uns:

Stellar work ravedamage!

Cool time lapse! Are you stacking them for storage? What the oldest item you have there?
Yeah, that's our biggest bay in the store and the only place we can keep our vehicles without 'em getting in the way of other stuff.
Off the top of my head, we have a couple of proper old-school fire engines which are the oldest things (I think), that you'll see near the end of the vid...pretty sure the smaller one is from the late 1780s...the large red one is from the 19th century.

A time lapse video I made at work...took a day and a half to plan this out, in order to minimise handling of the objects, and two and a half hours to shoot the ballbag.

Wee video I made for a Jon Hopkins track, from footage taken when I was stuck in a traffic jam across London...

I wish you guys would lay off osc a little bit. dude is entitled to his opinions and posts.
My initial reaction to this album is closer to osc's initial reaction than to just about everyone else's in here. I'm a little surprised by the "top of their game" responses on here.
It's good, but no. I know it's great to have boc back, but no.
I should apologise for my ass-hattery several nights ago in this thread, had too much sun and even more mojitos...
...sorry Osc, and anyone else who isnae into this as much as I am. I'm just an opinion with an asshole and vice versa...they are forever, inextricably intertwined. it's cool, you're not on the hate oscillik bandwagon at the moment, so no offense taken. and i respect that you have an opinion, just so long as it's not just fanboyism. in which case I don't respect it. but I'm sure that's not the case, right?
Not a fanboy, no, more a 42 year old chap who should know a lot better than get carried away with what is essentially just...sounds...at the end of the day.
I'd still go gay for Marcus though.

Prior to meltdown (lolpocalypse), I managed to make some vaguely sentient comment (in another TH thread) about why this resonates with me so much:

And that's not me just associating it with being from the same neck of the woods, but it probably helps...the sadness and melancholia of being born in the UK of the 70s... of having the North Sea horizon as your visual standpoint...the nuclear dread of the 80s at High School. Fuck, I sound like a pretentious fanny.
Fuck, cannae work the multi-quote thingy...anyhoo.
I guess I'm just really into the bleakness of this LP, for these are bleak times...as bad as the 80s seemed to be in the UK, oh boy...but the last few tracks do give ye a wee lift, a faint cupping of hope...
Might be that the lack of melodies and beats, as some say, is also evocative of bleakness...of TH being sparse(?)...devoid somewhat of the more traditional elements of BoC that drew so many in, in the first place. I just dunno.
There's no INSANE track that kills me as much as The Beach At Redpoint or Nlogax on here...though that will probably change, given the fact I'm listening to it at work/home around 3 or 4 times a day at the mo.
It's certainly an LP I can't listen to separately, yet...for me it's always in its entirety or not at all. For now.
Dunno, rambling. Love this LP and I love this site, despite there being no breathalyser at login stage to prevent me making a tit of myself.
I'll go back to lurking in the meantime, and wait until the new EP, 'Everything's Gonna Be Just Swish, You Balloon' appears in 2019 (downloads 2020).
Keep up the excellent bantery-bickery thing, it's what makes this place great.

At least he is honest, i bet there are some fanboys out there that don't like it but say they like it.
But jokes on him because he bought the album without listening to it first.
Nae shame in anything Mr Deer, if we're here, we are all fanboys...to what extent, WTF, etc.
I personally LOVE the old Bill Paxton avatar and Oscillik's devilry, so, uh, aye.
Love them Boards also, and our inevitable spiral to...doom?
-
lol @ oscillik better listen to some VHS head then lol
Is he like 52 or summit...well jaded and shit? I don't get it/him/her.
Music should be a joy. Unless you don't like, in which case, don't listen.
(Except for Watmm-Bitchin' porpoises etc.)
KILLER-WHALES BRO> (over FLACS, obvs)

This shit (multiple whiny thread(s)) is bonkers. It's just an album of musics FFS...nothing more, nothing less.
Two guys in Scotland bone-ing off on old knackered kit, etc,...it was never going to Change The World. (I like some Coldplay also, they can chang the whurld!)
Get a fucking grip. I think it is an amazing listen, just from bits of sound which convey an idea and/or gives you some headspace to enjoy them BoC sounds...loving the 'old' beats in there by the way. If I want mental time-signatures, I'll listen to Snares.
You cunts really need to stop wetting the metaphorical bed and get your nappy on.

I caved in and listened to the CD that arrived.
Thoroughly disappointed.
It's an okay album. Nowhere near worthy of all the ridiculous hype surrounding it, though. The strongest track, in my opinion, is Semena Mertvykh and it's unfortunately the first thing I heard (cosecha-transmissiones video).
Entirely separate from my issues with Bleep, and their complete mishandling of this release, I don't think I'll be pre-ordering any more BoC in future.
After ten or so listens, I think you'll mebbe change yer mind...I was similarly underwhelmed listening to the web-stream, but oh my, this has so much ooomph to it. I actually like the fact they shortened tracks deliberately...just makes ye want more. Dunno who I'm trying to convince, seeing as I am already convinced.

If you haven't seen the original UK ad, the link for that is in the description for this one.
(Puts it in context like.)
This is amazing...like McDonald's covered by the League of Gentlemen and then remixed by Reeves and Mortimer.
-
Is this Hype Williams? Reaaaal nice, regardless.
-
Oneohtrix Point Never should have done the soundtrack.
This right here. Amen.
Christ....saw him live at Cargo in London and he was generic/boring/quite, quite pish.
I think Bangalter & Short-Arse De Jour will be a just choice for this.
...sorry Osc, and anyone else who isnae into this as much as I am. I'm just an opinion with an asshole and vice versa...they are forever, inextricably intertwined.
