Pretty awesome looking. I bought the mp3s from Amazon yesterday. Remembered I still had a credit there, so I got it for $4. Really enjoying the music, may have to go see the movie because of it.

 

[bono_212]

Sweet. I will wait for that bad-boy then.

 

[bollox]

Sounds like he didn't have the best experience scoring this thing

Still strongly tempted to see Oblivion even tho it looks like shite.

Reminder that the soundtrack will be on sale here on Friday at a random time. Typically they drop their stuff around 11AM Central, but LPs don't usually sell out instantly. I'll post in here once they drop.

Thank you sir

I was actually looking at the Mondo site earlier today; wasted about an hour at work looking at the movie posters. I guess they do a special poster for everything they show at Alamo Drafthouse? I want like, all of them on my wall, now.

Apparently you have to be on your game to buy stuff off their site because it sells out quickly. They did the Poltergeist OST vinyl that I was denied on RSD.

 

[u2popmofo]

Anyone seen the actual movie?

 

[cobl04]

I may have to check this out. I dug Hurry Up We're Dreaming and Mirror is fucking awesome.

 

[u2popmofo]

Have you looked into their back catalog at all?

 

[cobl04]

I have Kim & Jessie and Couleurs from someone's DI list. Love the former, can't recall the latter off the top of me head.

Spoiler

You haven't heard Saturdays=Youth?


In things that are actually news: I plan on seeing Oblivion soon, Mofo. I wanted to go to the drive-in and see it last weekend, but I was too busy in Chicago.

EDIT: It's still at the drive-in this weekend with G.I. Joe: Retaliation

I have Dead Cities on CD. I assume it must be out of print because I just saw some of the prices for a used copy.

Yes and no. There are always posters for a new Drafthouse Films release and occasionally there are some of unique screenings at the Alamo. I got my Return of the King by Aaron Horkey at an event called Mondo Mystery Movie where you don't know what movie will be played when you buy a ticket, and your ticket includes the cost of the poster. Wound up not keeping it because A. I don't really care for LOTR and B. Horkey's dimensions always are weird and would make framing super expensive.

Most of the stuff you see in the archive has dropped online at one point or another. There are exceptions like the stunning Taxi Driver by Martin Ansin.

You do, and the best way to do that is to get a Twitter app and enable a push notification any time @mondonews tweets something. Or you can F5 all morning. Mondo drops are harrowing and stressful, but it's a triumphant feeling when you nab one. I love mine.

Over the past year or so, this has become a big hobby for me.

Copies on sale tomorrow through Mondo will be on clear vinyl, copies distributed to record stores next month on black.

I am absolutely loving this soundtrack.

 

[bono_212]

Any clue what time this might go on sale, Imps, or is it just anytime today?

 

[u2popmofo]

I am absolutely loving this soundtrack.

Same here. I hope the guy who reviewed it on Pitchfork gets polio.

 

[djerdap]

Getting butt-hurt over a Pitchfork review? Seriously?

Random time, usually some time in the 10 to noon CST range. If you use Twitter, just follow @mondonews and turn on notifications for its tweets. That it check here every so often since I plan on posting when they're up.

LPs don't go as fast as posters. Even the (exquisitely done) Drive OST took about half an hour a few weeks ago. But considering everyone who orders from the site gets the variant this time as opposed to having it randomly inserted, who knows.

Good luck. Mondo drops are stressful as fuck most of the time, but they are a lot of fun. Great hobby to get into.

 

[bono_212]

I didn't even know about the site until this, so I look forward to a future with it.

I'm at work and T-Mobile gets no reception in this building, so I'll try.

 

[Imperor]

Check out the archive to kill some time waiting for the drop. You'll be glad you did.

 

[bono_212]

Oh my God...

...yeah, I'll look through that archive.

I make-a da joke!!1!11!1!!!!

 

[Imperor]

Up. Got one.

 

[bono_212]

Got it


Jeez, $7, has no one heard of media mail?

 

[Imperor]

The gallery is a five block walk for me, so I just pick my stuff up and get refunded for shipping. Nice perk.

 

[bono_212]

Haha, awesome. It must be nice living somewhere.

 

[bono_212]

Huh, looks like getting one of these wasn't too hard.

 

[Imperor]

Just picked up my LP from Mondo Gallery. It looks and sounds exquisite and is making for quite the lunchtime spin.
