Anyone see the Masthay release?  He did the Pittsburgh poster.

It’s a great looking poster. My artist print arrived today. I’m pretty happy I got one, the run of 50 sold out almost immediately. 

Amazing and beautiful performance of Villains by Josh.

• Josh Homme read the kids bedtime story on Cbeebies here in the UK today. He read Zog. Quite surreal.

Want pickup some their back catalogue on vinyl - any consensus on the best presses?  I have Villians and Like Clockwork.  

You've already got what I think are their best two.
After that, I think Lullabies to Paralyze is the next best one, then Era Vulgaris (which I think is highly underrated), and then Songs for the Deaf, although I am not a big fan of the radio interludes on that one. It's kind of dated or something? Gimmicky? But other than that, great album..... I mean, I don't think they have a bad album, so really no matter what you get is going to be good IMO, but those are the ones I would recommend first. Oh, and word to the wise - There is a REALLY bad reissue of Rated R out there. I just can't remember which version it is. The sound on it is so bad I won't even play it - it's just completely flat. So avoid it - anyone else here remember which reissue that was? Unfortunately I do own it, but I'm not at home. 

There’s a Rated R pressing out now that sounds good. I’ve posted in this thread or on of the big vinyl threads what. Has a red outer jacket and there’s something with the UPC, but I don’t remember.

Well we are headed off to Denver today were I hear it's snowing.

Flying early am tomorrow from CA. I saw that the XX show on Monday got moved. Hope QOTSA doesn't get moved. Planned this whole trip specifically to see a show at Red Rocks for the first time, and planned out all my lodging/travel based on Red Rocks.

I’m going also. Monday was ugly. But most of the snow has already melted. Going to be in the 50s and sunny all day. It’ll be clear at night but prolly in the low 30s. Dress accordingly. But I wouldn’t worry about a cancellation. Gonna be fun. 

Great show! It was cold AF though.

that's funny. I listened to SFTD just last week, and I actually really enjoyed the radio interludes. gives it a concept album feel. 

some of my friends who were hardcore queens fans HATED Lullabies, and hated Era Vulgaris even more. I didn't get it. I loved both of those. 

they stopped coming to winnipeg after they got "big".
