Oh man, thanks for the heads up. There's so much I want! Here's what I'm getting:
Quasi- When the Going Gets Dark Quasi- Hot Shit! Bikini Kill- Reject All-American Bad Religion- Recipe For Hate Boris- Smile Megadeth- Peace Sells, But Who's Buying? Black Sabbath- Master of Reality
Also, everyone should buy The Hot Rock by Sleater-Kinney because it's only $6 and it's amazing. Haha.
EDIT: Fuck, nevermind, they're only letting me choose 2-3 day shipping which is $21. I hate getting fucked over on shipping for living up here. And that promo code doesn't work, Wes.

That sucks!
Also, the promo code worked for me (and everyone on VC) so that's weird...
I was going to ask about that; so you can't get media mail living in Alaska?

No, I get things shipped up here by standard USPS all the time. It's just that some retailers are dickbags about it and will only do expensive expedited delivery. For instance: Ordered a $20 bobblehead. They wanted $30 to ship it USPS. Meanwhile, Amazon shipped my Kindle with 2-Day UPS for $15. It's the inconsistency that pisses me off.
Anyways, I might still get the Quasi and Boris albums.

Hot Topic has such a weird selection. Some of those are a real steal. Others are a "wow I totally forgot about that band; why did they ever bother existing in the first place?" I bought some stuff just 'cause I thought it looked curious. Haven't done that in a while. I'll name them later if they're good. If not, I'll pretend it never happened.

They're already out of the Boris album I'm still gonna get the Quasi ones and Bikini Kill. Since it's a smaller order, they actually let me use standard shipping, so yay? In better news, I finally got the last 7" I needed to complete my Sleater-Kinney collection! I've been looking for months on eBay, but I finally found a guy in Japan on Discogs that had it.

The buy one get one half off on HT clearance is ongoing, and will be used pretty often from now on. ALSO, from my understanding, we're doing markdowns in increments now. So chances are in a bit the vinyl will be discounted even more (with the rest of clearance).
I've got a big list of vinyl I'm gonna order after Labor Day weekend.. Need to save for TRIAL vinyl at Rainfest.

I snapped up two of the three Heavens To Betsy 7"s on eBay: "These Monsters Are Real" and their split with Bratmobile. Finding the third one ("Direction") is gonna be tough.

Cold Sun - Dark Shadows LP. Early psychedelic band from Texas in the 1960s. Members went on to back up Roky Erickson, but I think they are actually a slightly better band than the 13th Floor Elevators and probably made the best psychedelic record ever. There is only one original existing acetate, and the record only got released (in the 90s) because the guitar player wanted to hear it. They did another really limited reissue in 2008, but a really nice one. I missed it when it came out and now they're all gone but I bought my copy from this guy who runs another record store downtown for $60 (about what it was worth when it came out, so I wasn't expecting to find a better deal than what I paid). The record is absolutely incredible. Here's a track someone put on youtube:
Also, Jello Biafra wrote the liner notes. WTF?

I'm kind of glad they don't have a lot of stuff, haha. It must be a (very expensive) nightmare to try and do that for bands that have tons of versions/colors of every record. None of it was terribly expensive, either, despite most of the singles being out of print for a long time. I think the most I paid was a little over $40 for the "You Ain't It!" 7".

I brought some records over to my friends house last summer and he pointed out that my copy of the Clash's self-titled is an original pressing. LOL.
I have a complete collection of, wait for it... Paul McCartney & Wings. My friends enjoy mocking me gently for this, but I don't caaaaare.

That rules Nick! Having a complete collection is so cool. I'm one record away from each Tegan and Sara and Murder By Death from both of them being complete but they're both really rare/expensive and also variants of LPs (Exorcist on red for MBD, first press of IIWY for T&S) so they still feel pretty complete.
