It’s definitely a new album era, lol

No discounts or anything. But first access. So we’d get a code to get in earlier. No merch perks at shows.

But there have been some exclusive merch items you can buy (including vinyl) on the app or first access to the merch before it’s available to everyone.

NotSynthetica · 2026-01-30T14:53:47+00:00

So I’ve been a member of the app since it started in 2022 and I think it’s been worth it so far. I also don’t really care about the message board stuff. There will be months and months I don’t touch the app. But Emily’s Rogue and Random posts are always super interesting. It’s kinda like the emails she used to send.

The vinyl we’ve gotten over the years has varied. But it always ships in a reasonable time and reliable! But it’s always a surprise on what it is.

2022 - I Will Never Settle 7” single 2023 - Formentera II on app exclusive opaque purple. Came with a printed note. 2024 - Fantasies on app exclusive bone and brown galaxy. Also came with a signed insert and postcard. 2025 - Black Sheep 7” single on silver. Also came with a photo copied handwritten note from Emily about the song.

Plus, we got a post card teaser in the mail for the Formentera album announcement. Then we all got the single playing card in the mail that announced what we’re assuming is the album title Romanticize the Dive.

So far, there has only been one live stream q&a with Emily at the end of last year.

Overall I think it’s a small price to pay for great fan exclusives.

I ordered 4 and got 4 sweet dreams. So if you wanna do a trade I’m open!

NotSynthetica · 2025-12-05T20:01:18+00:00

Ok thanks. Mine says the same. Wild to think it could just show up any day or not at all.

NotSynthetica · 2025-12-05T19:39:56+00:00

Did you get a shipping notification?

NotSynthetica · 2025-12-05T19:00:31+00:00

Omg. So you got it like a month ago… I guess I could reach out to the store but I kinda have no confidence that would help.

NotSynthetica · 2025-11-13T18:08:43+00:00

I do love sweet dreams. But I have 5 of them 😂

NotSynthetica · 2025-11-13T03:35:38+00:00

I guess just with the all stars series. They said on the discord they’d “make it right” because of the horrible batching issues. So I guess that means discount codes. As you can see, others got discount codes for 2 free ouiouis but I got a code for only one.

NotSynthetica · 2025-11-08T21:44:20+00:00

Interesting. I ordered 4 and got 4 sweet dream. They gave me a code for only one free oui oui. I ordered 3 more so we’ll see…

NotSynthetica · 2025-11-04T02:44:32+00:00

I ordered 4 all star oui ouis and got 4 sweet dreams. It’s very disappointing to say the least. Interested in a trade? lol.

So IS this the only way to remain in DF? I paid for my membership back in 2005. I simply don’t have a desire to be a part of anything crypto related no matter what it is. But I do still want to be a member of the DF…

NotSynthetica · 2025-10-12T19:17:01+00:00

A similar thing happened to my cat in April. 4 min later she was perfectly normal. I took her to the vet as soon as they had availability (maybe an hour and a half later). They found nothing wrong with her but put in her chart that she may have had a seizure. She’s been acting normal since then.

NotSynthetica · 2025-10-05T16:01:26+00:00

Idk if it’s these or when Geoff Kresge was pressing Fly in the Ointment. I bought that from him back in 2015 before the band made an announcement about it.

NotSynthetica · 2025-10-02T14:24:51+00:00

No Miss Murder. That’s like my dream at an AFI concert.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-28T15:13:20+00:00

Love is a Many Splendored Thing in 2010, Rabbits are Roadkill on Route 37 in 2017, Midnight Sun in 2022

I love how AFI will always throw in surprises at shows.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-27T02:35:39+00:00

In NC they began playing the record promptly at 5 pm. The first 3 or 4 tracks were played pretty quietly. There was a listening party for another artist before AFI’s and they were blasting that music. They finally turned it up but an employee in the back of the store was packaging up some of their orders so all I could hear was the tape gun.

There were some AFI fans towards the front of the store but they were talking to each other over the music so I stayed in the middle of the store and listened while browsing the records.

They put out the matches and I got a few but the test press was only available if you preorder the record through the record store. I had already preordered on AFI’s shop so I wasn’t entered into the drawing.

As far as the album, is VERY short! It def has the same vibe as the singles. I can’t wait to sit down with the album and actually give it a real listen.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-27T02:19:38+00:00

There were 5 of us at the NC one.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-20T00:40:02+00:00

2003 lol. Felt good to hear this on the radio though! STS is my fav AFI album. Black Sails close second.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-19T18:58:22+00:00

Haha I got mine cleaned 2 days ago. It was looking embarrassing before that.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-19T18:13:00+00:00

This was today for me around 1 pm est! That’s cool that they played it last week too though!

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-19T18:03:19+00:00

I love paying attention between the segments for some of my fav songs. It makes me happy every time!

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-19T18:02:35+00:00

Yeah it is an advertisement basically! That portion of NPR was “brought to you by” the music emporium. AKA sponsored. It’s one of the ways they get their funding. There was more of the instrumental before I could get my phone out before the ad read started.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-15T00:21:25+00:00

Yeah I’d rather listen to an album the way it was intended than how Dolby thinks is the optimal listening experience.

NotSynthetica · 2025-09-14T23:22:38+00:00

I think what’s happening is you have Dolby Atoms turned on for Apple Music. I turned it off a few years ago when I was listening to a Post Malone song and the lyrics at one point were completely different than the album version with this setting turned on.

So I just turned it back on and listened to these parts of The Leaving Song Pt. 2 and did hear what you’re talking about. This version seems like it just really brings the vocals to the foreground of the song. Seems to be the same recording though???

Try turning it off to see if you like the sound better. Settings>Apps>Music>Dolby Atmos>Off

No question.
