Sincerity Above All

blink-182  The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show

Another limited pressing offered through Hot Topic, limited to 1000 once again. These are supposed to come out on Tuesday, April 24, 2012, but some stores got advanced copies. I was lucky enough to have my nearest store have two copies left over when I called them. They had the same deal last year in which it was the first time this album was on vinyl. This is the second pressing of the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show. It’s the same blink we all know and love. The good ol pop punk songs and addition Man Overboard bonus track. As well as the poopie, peepee, you’re gay jokes to go along with it. The vinyls look pretty damn nice, hot pink and purple marble. I wish Mark still played that signature hot pink bass of his all the time. Everything sounds great and it’s great to have another one of my favorite albums and bands in my collection :)

Thrice - Vheissu Vinyl Repress

The second pressing through Hot Topic and limited to only 1000. It went on sale April 10, 2012, and sold out within a few hours. Here’s the funny thing, when I was at the Victor Valley Hot Topic last week I saw one copy, which doesn’t make sense if it was distributed yesterday. I was talking to the sales associates and they said a guy from San Fransisco called in earlier asking if they had them. Looks like the South Coast sold out fast! But alas, I bought myself two copies before I found out they sold out everywhere. Too bad they aren’t number individually but it sounds great and hopefully Hot Topic continues to do this small repressing of vinyls!
