Here’s the last of the pre-orders from today, along with the coming soon page for the black vinyl pressing of Cake’s first album. Damn I love Cake. I really hope they continue the vinyl reissuing through their entire catalog.
Amos, Tori – Abnormally Attracted to Sin (2xLP)
Apples in Stereo – #1 Hits Explosion
Butthole Surfers, The – Live PCPPEP
Here’s another four pre-orders. Just seeing how the breaking these posts into multiple posts idea works in regards to Google ranking and other shit of that nature. 
Crystal Method – Divided By Night
Got three pre-orders from three alternative power houses:
Got some more pre-orders to go with the Green Day one from yesterday. We got the oft-delayed but for real coming out in May Eminem record and the self-titled Rise Against 7″.

Rise Against – Rise Against |

Eminem – Relapse (2xLP) |
Here it is; nuff said.
This was rumored for awhile, and though finally confirmed in the second half of 2008, word on the whereabouts of the deluxe vinyl version of Weezer’s latest album was nowhere to be found. That has changed, as we are happy to announce an April 14th release date and a pre-order to go with it. Woo!

Weezer – Red Album (2xLP – 180 Gram) |
If you pre-ordered the new Thursday album from us, you are well aware that we pre-ordered them at a very competitive price. We were able to do that because of the wholesale price one of our distributors was offering the album for, amid other reasons. Well, that same distributor raised their rate $2, didn’t update that price on the million “on order” lists they email us until I requested a list that reflected the correct prices due to some issues with other records and appears to have no interest in honoring that original price. If we had known all along that this was going to be the cost to us, we would have raised our price accordingly; but since this price change was never shared with us until it was too late, we’re in a real shitty place.
How does this affect our pre-orders? Unlike said distributor, we will be honoring our original price, but it may delay us getting these out as I try to find the best deal out there. I just sent an email over to RevHQ to see if they have some left as they have a cheaper price than unnamed distributor. If push comes to shove, I’ll bend over and take the lubeless fuck and pay the shitty price so everyone gets their record in a timely manner.
As if the Nerd Alert HQ doesn’t have enough to deal with when it comes to our unhappy, sick newborn, we’ve got sleazy distros swapping prices on us and not letting us know about it until after they’ve taken my money and sent me the bill with the new prices that were not listed on their little “on order” emails. Bait and switch – is that shit even legal?
Fucking bullshit….
*sigh*

Just nabbed this from VC:
Vagrant Records regrets to announce a further shipping delay of the Thrice vinyl box set of The Alchemy Index. Wayne Pighini, label marketing head, issued the following statement:
“Our manufacturer has just informed us that the Thrice vinyl box set of The Alchemy Index will NOT meet the expected March 10 street date. We sincerely apologize for the repeated delays in getting this out to all of you who pre-ordered the package. Please know that this is the most elaborate vinyl set we’ve ever attempted and is literally being put together by hand. We underestimated the time necessary to complete each piece. We promise it will be worth the wait! Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with a specific shipping date at this time, but as soon as we get the updated ship date we’ll post it here and we assure you that your original order remains in force. All pre-orders will still ship before copies are in stores.”
“Once again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We truly appreciate your support of Thrice and Vagrant Records.”
The Alchemy Index is a two-volume collection comprised of four EPs, each devoted to one of the essential elements in nature—fire, water, air and earth—with each EP sonically and thematically tailored to evoke the atmosphere inherent in its corresponding element.
Each of the 4 EP’s will be pressed on 10” colored vinyl -the Fire EP is red, Water is blue, Earth is brown and Air is on clear vinyl. The discs will be inside a hand-bound hardcover book complete with lyrics, liner notes and commentary from the band.
Finally starting to make some progress on getting the backlog caught up as we’ve had these records sitting around for months, heh. =P
