Sorry, guys, but these values just determine how dates and times are rounded up with the time script they're using.

e.g.

If something was 11 months ago, it would round it up to "a year ago".
If something was 26 days ago, it would round it up to "a month ago".
If something was 22 hours ago, it would round it up to "a day ago".
If something was 45 minutes ago, it would round it up to "an hour ago".
If something was 45 seconds ago, it would round it up to "a minute ago".

The same values are present in the base version of the script they included in the main shopify script.

This is sick man. I would recommend getting some speaker stands (may be too small i can’t tell if those are hs5 of hs7) or at least some foam risers because having those powerful speakers sitting on a wooden table makes the bass super muddy AND you risk a audible buzzing between the housing of the speaker and the table. Looks super good dude!

OMG! I have this exact same book. It's a Japanese color scheme/palette book. It's fuckin amazing. Crazy I use it everytime for Graphic Design.

Will update once i get home

Edit: quick google search for you all -

Just had a look around online, you can get it on Amazon here (UK and US). Apparently it's a collection of poems that "riffs on a Frank Ocean song, paying homage to the man but also investigating oceans, The Ocean, and the similarity between heartbreak and break beats by blending Frank Ocean's musical catalogue with personal narrative and social critique."

https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Rising-Sun-Flag-Bandana/dp/B0033CV21S/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1530894641&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=frank+ocean+bandana I got mine here on Amazon. Super high quality. Folds up just like Frank's

I have no idea why you're being downvoted. This doesn't seem like a controversial opinion at all IMO. Flower Boy is a top 10 album of the decade for me for sure. It's already in the top 25 albums of the decade on RateYourMusic and that's really impressive for being less than a year old compared to other albums that have been around longer and have had more time to rack up ratings, which in itself increases an album's stature on that site. As time goes on and it gets more ratings it could easily break the top 10 on there too

I actually started a podcast yesterday where I talked about a very similar topic. With the accessibility of music and number of quality musicians out there, this decade will be one to be remembered for sure!

Idk if you’re into podcasts, but check out Dissect where he breaks down Pyramids

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/651-Dissect-A-Serialized-Music-28377595/episode/s3e4-pyramids-part-1-by-29443268/

I’ve listened to Pyramids countless times, but after listening to the breakdown, it was a completely different song.

Two command strip hooks each.

they're difficult to fit a lot of 2 disks vinyls (camp's vinyl is a pain to take off the wall), but they're great with most.

Amazon link to buy the command hooks I used

I'm following this outline https://imgur.com/gallery/CJ8iI#yRCIpQE

Right now I'm finalizing the spine design and font and then printing the labels out onto matte photo paper. Then I'll focus on the cardboard/paper stock cause that's the one part I'm lost on. I'll go up to Michaels and see what's up. But the cd trays are like 7-8 bucks including shipping for 5 on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Digipak-Trays-Inserts-CDIR70CL/dp/B00K33W2D2)

And yeah I'll keep you guys updated on the process cause I'm gonna make one for Blond/e or even just go the actual cd case route instead of digipak

Although it does have that ambient, Frank Ocean-like sound to it, Om'Mas is referring to Whitelines Studio in LA and he seems to currently be working on a track with Eliza Lovechild (as shown in his ig: https://www.instagram.com/p/9sLfPvNADL/?taken-by=ommaskeith) and not Frank Ocean. It would be neat if it was Frank though

After extensive nerd research ;) ...this is the one that seems like the best quality in US Amazon store. Thanks for the idea!

Cinema Lightbox

thought the same thing at first, and it def looks like it in the pic, but it's just a big ass poster. you can tell if you look at the very top left of the pic. I just found it on amazon, Here you go!

Wow the dude uploaded his lyrics on Genius and I gotta say the start "Damienn Jones on rap and play Guitar" is too funny to me

Huh, I never thought of that song as referring to Nirvana the band, just nirvana the state of being. In the previous verse he talks about peace and in the next about "high" so it's probably not intended to be about the band; rap genius agrees. Also, I love Frank and all but are you REALLY comparing him to Kurt Kobain?

If you are on a mac I've used a trial version of Glyphs (https://glyphsapp.com) to make a font myself. Works well with vectorised graphics, don't know if it can work with PNGs or colour though..

Edit: seems like it works with PNG and colour in a couple of ways https://glyphsapp.com/tutorials/articles/tag:color . I can try to have a go at it, but I won't be near my computer before tonight.

Amazon!

$15 plus shipping. But it’s $13 if you already have prime and shipping is free. It’s pretty great. I highly recommend it.

For anybody who was wondering the same I stumbled across this

https://anonfiles.com/tbn1a3yfn3?dl=PPBa1cpK

just download,unzip files into a folder,open itunes on your laptop or macbook, add the folder to your library and finally sync your iphone, enjoy Endless!

I've got it downloaded too, but the reason why I want it on Spotify is because I've been on this app called JQBX where you take turns DJing up tracks, which integrates with Spotify Premium. I need to expose people to the greatness that is Nostalgia Ultra, haha

Easiest solution is probably an Audio Technica LP-120. Good sale on Amazon right now. I don’t think there’s much in that price range that’s better and I wouldn’t recommend dropping down to the LP-60. Going with something from U-Turn would probably sound better but you’d be spending a good bit more.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002S1CJ2Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EybhAbK61X7ZC

I actually bought it at a poster sale at my university! But that being said i found an amazon link just now for the same poster! Poster Frank Ocean Blond Music 24in x 36in https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DV74LSL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LdokCbWMKN1VC

As far as turntables go I would recommend an audio Technica-Lp60. A lot of people in the vinyl community are critical of it but the issues that it does have are not issues a new collector has to worry about. It's a fine table to start with and the best near your pence range. It also has a buitl in pre-amp which means you won't need to buy a receiver as well https://www.amazon.com/Technica-AT-LP60BK-Automatic-Belt-Drive-Turntable/dp/B008872SIO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=audio+technica+turntable&qid=1560244255&s=gateway&sprefix=audio+&sr=8-3

In terms of ease of setup up I also recommend powered speakers over passive though it's all really up to your preference if you wanna do more research on that. I recommend powered edifers on Amazon, again nothing too complicated/fancy that can all be upgraded at a later time

https://www.amazon.com/Edifier-R1280T-Powered-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B016P9HJIA/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=edifier+speakers&qid=1560244635&s=gateway&sprefix=edifoe&sr=8-5

Records can be purchased on Amazon, record stores, and even stores like urban outfitters depending on taste. There's a website/app called discogs that serves as a record market place that's great to buy rarer records from, funding record stores, and get info on release dates and stuff like that.

I had all this saved on my phone since I used to work in a record store and get asked every now and then but feel free to let me know if you have other questions I didn't answer

Hi - I'm the creator of the app Alerts for Reddit, and it's just for things like this! It sends notifications for whatever subreddits you want, so you don't have to check a sub over and over again to see hot posts. Check it out if you're interested :) (iOS link, Android link)

It was probably in response to this image, which was posted by Om'Mas Keith, who worked on Channel Orange. If you can't see the screen in the back, it says:

• artist: FRANK OCEAN
• client: F.O.
• producer: OM'MAS KEITH AND MALAY (Malay did probably all but one track on Channel Orange)
• engineer: JEFF ELLIS THE ??? (looks like "GOD" to me but I have no idea who this is)
• assitant: TYLER ?????? (almost certainly Tyler Okonma, aka Tyler the Creator)

where did you find the lossless copy? Are there more??

EDIT--ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: loaded file on my iTunes, on the "Comment" tag of the track it reads FRANKULTRA003 (BOOTLEG), which with a google search leads to this https://www.discogs.com/Frank-Ocean-nostalgia-ULTRA/release/4488720

Jackson 5 - All I Do Is Think Of You

Here's another link to see some places this song was sampled in.

https://offerup.com/item/detail/458657755/ check the image of the back, has a see-through box. its probs a real box thou, but tbh i think shenanigans are of afoot here considering OP hasn't replied to any comments about if this is real. i'm not gonna open mine and trust its all good.

Since the YouTube link is no longer available, you can find the downloaded file here : https://gofile.io/?c=XWZ8hc

I still think it could be him, I guess we'll know when it's officially released!

That's just an example given in the Modernizr code when add-test is selected, it was not added for this site.

Are u saying there’s no difference between a raw cone and a pre roll?

Bc you can buy these on Amazon, and you certainly can’t buy weed on amazon.

The “meme” at this point, of not trusting pre rolls comes from how usually dispensaries put shake and just shitty weed in the pre rolls, but again, these are not pre rolls.

PLEASE HELP YOURSELF OUT.

My dude, get this stuff. My wife and I have used it to get all kinds of cat stains out of the carpet/clothes/etc.: Anti-Icky-Poo

I’d hide the wire behind the drywall and pass it through one of these behind the bed out of sight. Clean tho nice work.

this one! my mom got it for me for my birthday a couple years back once my collection was really starting to grow, and so far I’m pretty happy with it. : )

I got it from a bookstore in New York, but it isn't on their website anymore, may have been the last copy. You can get it on Amazon though: https://www.amazon.com/Wolfgang-Tillmans-Theodora-Vischer/dp/3775743294

Here's blonded.blog's rip on Audiomack — audiomack.com/blondedblog/song/i-can-escape-freestyle. Just download it using this website.

They relate to Frank's own love interest that he had when he was younger. The song focuses on those feelings of love that Frank had, but also reflects on the bitterness of those feelings not being reciprocated.

Here's a full deconstruction of the lyrics.

It’s alright; very common with album covers. It’s just paper, and if you’re handling it, it will be worn. As someone else said, trying to fix it will only make it worse.

The best way to cut down on wear and tear is to keep the record in a protective sleeve (hard to find not in bulk online, but if you have a record store near by, they should hook you up, and store the record on its side (up and down) out of direct sunlight.

https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/Midwest+Emo/

Midwest emo emerged as a style of Emo in the mid-1990s. Its advent is usually credited to Sunny Day Real Estate, who combined elements of their native Seattle, WA's Indie Rock scene with the Post-Hardcore music propagated by Washington, D.C.-based Dischord Records. The music tends toward alternating loud and soft dynamics; off-key, strained or "whiny" vocals with little screaming; and "twinkly" arpeggiated guitar parts. Other prominent artists in this genre include Mineral, The Promise Ring and Texas Is the Reason. Artists such as The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World, whose earlier output can be described as Midwest emo, helped to lay the foundation for what would become Emo-Pop.

The genre's name stems from its high prevalence in cities such as Chicago, Madison, Kansas City and Cleveland, but the style is in no way limited to the Midwest, as exemplified by Sunny Day Real Estate and Texas is the Reason.

turns out the audio mixing is the same for electric feel/nature feels so i was easily able to remaster it using the same settings - here you go fam

I’m almost certain it’s not that, it’s way too clean and there would be instruments in the same frequency range.

There are a ton of tools that can do this either byphase cancellation or with AI like with Spleeter.

No, you can download iTunes for Windows here.

I'm not 100 percent sure but the Apple Music app for android should be able to stream beats1 as well. Just take a look at the google play store for that (and test it before blonded starts).

Many of you asked for it on MP so here's the files I did for the Blond CD :

You can see more pics : HERE ( BLOND BACK, INSIDE CASE... )

Thank you! Here's the link, only Amazon jewelry purchase I've really enjoyed Swarovski Women's Symbolic Stud Pierced Earrings https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TBBLKHF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BMW8WMAK6Z50YJTVY6PC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 EDIT: link says earrings, you can choose necklace from there

I'll try. A lot of them are pretty old, and I got them used. So it looks like my Dell one (far left) is like ancient. I can't find one even similar to it anywhere online. However, I know for a fact you can get one for easily under twenty dollars at nearly any Goodwill. The middle is an LG LF452B far right is a variant of the Viewsonic VX2252MH

There’s a bunch of Blonded merch (hoodies, sweats, tees) reselling all over the place, you could check Grailed, I’ve seen the hoodie hovering around $200. There’s also a PrEP+ tee going for $100 but that may be a bit controversial lol…

When it comes to music/misc Frank stuff, channel ORANGE is a pretty easy album to get an official copy of since it’s CD and not vinyl. Also, I initially thought of his Boys Don’t Cry magazine (which is now going for crazy prices) but he also did a cool issue with Gayletter Magazine that’s still safe in that price range.

Yeah, don't $60 for it when you can get it for $30 on amazon.

Looks like this frame from Amazon, however this frame comes a bit higher rated.

Looks like this frame from Amazon

not sure what shipping would be for you, but i found this hidden gem on amazon the other day, and mine is coming in a couple days. link the reviews/images of it are incredible for the price

I think it was never sold there, but the listing exists like the one on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Channel-Orange-VINYL-Frank-Ocean/dp/B008CJ0KH4). Not sure why, but it’s been there for a long time and the release date is being pushed back each year.

Vinyl frame on Amazon.

And yeah, yeah, it's not perfectly symmetrical and I need to step my duvet-game up — still happy about these two vinyls though :)

Sure! Here it is on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Speedball-Advanced-All-Screen-Printing/dp/B007W6SAD4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=speedball+screen+printing+kit&qid=1575141261&sr=8-3

I will say it's not great for production as it's water based ink, and plastisol is really the best, which just requires more equipment. But it sounds perfect for what you're interested in, just getting to know the process and testing out some designs.

I bought a cheap one on amazon, seemed shitty when i got it but it looks just fine when it’s hanging on the wall

Edit: When I bought it, it was on sale for $35, definitely don’t pay full price

i'd get the hyper 212 evo if i were you. pretty much a no brainer at your budget. i actually have this cooler and i heavily OC my cpu (4.9ghz daily) and i never see temps above 75C (although i did delid my cpu, so it's not a direct comparison). that said, 90C is definitely approaching the danger zone and it's best to avoid it wherever possible. your temps should get much better with the evo. just make sure it fits in your case.

for those who want the frame, they actually have other colors that compliment the poster too! i like it kuz it doesnt cut off the text on the bottom right.

now i need Blonde & Little Demon replacement to complete my collection. waiting for Dear April & Cayendo in the mail.

They’re unavail right now but this is it! You should be able to find something simliar! Foremost 327806 Storage System, Large 30-inch, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000O1APF0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_tgb8DbJEDRFMR

I can recommend A Guide for the Perplexed https://www.amazon.com/dp/006241481X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QLsaBbMJJ7RW1

Based on facts, although it is really more theory. It does lack the part about visual art, nevertheless, and interesting read.

The book is called Wildball, it’s a young adult novel about a guy playing in a summer baseball league and how he deals with some traumatic memories and navigates his new relationships. You can buy it here if you are extra curious! Thx Coldplay

I know I'm a little late, but I have an LP-120 with A5+'s, it's an incredible set up. You're gonna need an amp tho, the 120 just isn't loud enough to not have to crank the speakers up to 11. I got this and it works great. Good luck out there.

These fit. Different brand.

It didn't it's in the frequently bought together https://www.amazon.com/Makita-ADP05-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Source/dp/B019WI5XXO/ref=pd_bxgy_469_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FFXREDA8W3W5VEMJTT5T

Either use the Apple Music app on Android, or you can buy it off the iTunes store, but it'll need you to download the iTunes program on a PC
