    I'm a little conflicted about the materialistic nature RSD has become. camping out for a record? this is what we do now?

    Not much different than camping out for concert tix, at least for those who want the records so that they can play them. If you're talking about the flippers, yeah... but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. :)
    I do consider it different. concert is paying for an experience. record is paying for a physical product. one could argue that listening to a record is in fact and experience, etc, but that's just my take.

    I absolutely think that listening to an album is an experience - that was my point. ;)

    I've never fully taken in the RSD experience. I am conflicted because the only place close to me that is participating is 60+ miles away. I really don't need anything but I don't like the idea of making the drive there only to come up empty handed. Also, if there is even a chance people are camping out at the store I can forget about it.

    I think the real underlying tone was always money, it's just that RSD is now established and that hidden force is now at the forefront. It may have been to help the independent stores but $$$ has always been driving the bus.

    I have never even been to the record store on RSD, lol. I fully support the day. But I don't like crowded stores and waiting in line enough to actually do it myself. Plus RSD is pretty shitty in Canada anyway. We hardly get anything in most stores. If it were the States I'd be more likely to give it a shot if there was something I really wanted.

    I made a list of how many records there are for 2 scenarios. For the ones I don't want I assumed the higher amount (and a lower amount for the ones I do want). Here's the list.

    It shows I have a 32% of getting something I want (using an average scenario), but only 27% under the worst case (i.e.only 5 bennys available, and 100 backspacers).

    Title Want Avg Worst case
    Ten original yes 3.5 2
    Benny yes 7.5 5
    Lost Dogs yes 7.5 5
    BS white yes 7.5 5
    Yield yes 7.5 5
    Riot Act yes 7.5 5
    RVMR yes 7.5 5
    Ten Coke yes 27.5 25
    PJ20 colour yes 35 30
    Avocado yes 45 40
    LO10L yes 60 55
    LB Red yes 90 80

    VS reissue no 7.5 10
    RNDM Orange no 17.5 20
    Into the wild no 25 30
    PJ20 black no 35 40
    Uku Songs no 55 60
    Brad no 55 60
    Mad Season # no 65 70
    RNDM black no 65 70
    Moonlander no 70 75
    Tres no 75 80
    LB Black no 90 100
    BS black no 90 100

    how come no one knows how to look up relative times on the web?

    Thank you! People don't even have to look at a time zone map anymore...should be relatively simple with that there inter web thingy.

    Where will the vinyl sale be taking place?
    Under " featured items"... "Vinyl" or something else...?
    The few seconds of searching for the proper icon may be the difference between getting a package or not!
