Almost grabbed House from LITA during that sale. That was a good price. TBH I haven't made a purchase with LITA since mondocon 2015ish. The guys who own, run, work (what have you) were some of the rudest assholes I ever met. If we weren't inside a church I would have called them out on the spot.

I have had bad experiences with their customer service over the years, rude is a good way to describe them. I generally don't order from them direct unless it's an only option or a big sale. You're not the only person I've seen say they were unpleasant at Mondocon's.

That's interesting. I wasn't sure if it was just me. We were all in a church downtown Austin for the Fabio Frizzi concert. Some friends and I sat down in a row and they had to run to the bathroom and left their stuff in the row. 3 guys walk up to the row - I very polity tell them my friends are sitting here and they mumbled something like a fuck you and pushed our shit over and sat down anyway. That was pretty ballsy, I have to give it to them. If I wasn't in a church, in an unfamiliar city, while on vacation; I most likely wouldn't have just let that go. Didn't want to cause a scene so we ended up just moving (got a better private spot upstairs on the balcony). I didn't know who they were at the time, but the next day when I went to their booth I threw their records back in the box once I realized it was them.

That was strange and really unnecessary

Prior to that experience I used to order from them all the time.

Glad you’re feeling better B, sorry to hear about the post-CVD blues. I’m sure you’ll shake it off as soon as you can taste those craft beers again :)

Good one Static! I was super impressed with this release, great remastering that didn’t bugger with the score overly, no dreaded revisionism and really digging the expansion.

Symphony of Zeal

An orchestral arrangement album of Chrono Trigger songs. It's very clearly made in a DAW but it's nicely done.

Water World SNES score. The music in this game is so damn good. The previous pressing is by far the ideal one to own. This one is very lackluster from a packaging standpoint but at least the pressing sounds decent.

Reason for the Season: War on Christmas edition: Vince Guaraldi Trio "A Charlie Brown Christmas" LP

Sartre considered this the final entry in Schulz's trilogy around "Un imbécile et ses nausées de vacances" (A blockhead and his holiday nausea). Charlie Brown once again finds himself at odds with his friends (in a microcosm) and his culture (in a macrocosm).

An interesting note: In 1978, Helmut Weirgarten, chief director of animation at the East Berlin Propaganda Ministry, obtained a 16-mm copy of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" through a local smuggling ring (i.e., an Eastern syndicate). Entranced with what he saw as Charlie Brown's struggle against "Western decadence" but chilled with the film's overall pro-Christian message, he requisitioned a newly dubbed voice track that reflected "proper" political learnings and reanimated the ending. Instead of Charlie and his friends singing a hymn around a restored Christmas tree, everyone except for Charlie and Linus is rounded up by uniformed Woodstocks with kalashnikovs for questioning; they are never seen in the film again.

In 1980, the Ministry released the revamped film to East German audiences under the name "Wie schlafen Sie in der längsten Nacht, Herr Brown?" ("How Do You Sleep During the Longest Night, Mr. Brown?"). It was such a success with schoolchildren and adults alike that historians later theorized that the film helped push off the fall of the Berlin Wall by three years.

Blood Simple, pressing sounds wonderful.

-edit: The sleeve notes are quite detailed as well. They seem to be from a previous expanded CD release, but I have not read them before.
