So, since the release date has come and gone now (by several weeks) and these have still not apparently started shipping out, does that mean they won't have to do any dramatic, unnecessary things?

Not a pop album nor a female singer, but TR produced (and co-wrote several songs) and AR engineered and programmed the album "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" by Saul Williams. Highly recommended.

I believe the record and shirt that I ordered are arriving today. Stellar release all around. I did a short interview with the band via email for a small magazine called 46pgs. Extremely nice guys.

For anyone that may be interested and doesn't do the streaming thing, I have an extra download that came with the record: https://wearetimelost.bandcamp.com/yum c5lh-kdlk Thanks for the recommendation on this. I love the Dead Swords album, so that definitely got my attention.

I've been using Tidal for several months now for this reason. The HiFi subscription is FLAC-quality streaming/downloads and MQA for quite a few albums, as well. Not that it would be helpful in this situation, obviously, but just thought I'd mention it.

I had the same receiver and wanted something a little more powerful (also upgraded my turntable to the Marantz TT -15S1 so I wanted to upgrade the receiver at the same time). I ended up buying a Peachtree Nova 150 (info here: https://www.peachtreeaudio.com/nova150-amplifier-with-dac.html) and I'm very happy with it. It has a DAC, MM pre-amp, and a headphone amplifier. It is a little out of your price range, but Peachtree is selling marked down units (usually cosmetic damage) directly on eBay for $1,099 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Peachtree-Audio-nova150-Integrated-Amplifier-with-DAC/223503587111?hash=item3409da1727:g:~doAAOSwZrhahJF4). I have a separate pre-amp, so I've never used the built-in on the Nova, but I love everything else about it. They are also about to release a Wi-Fi module that will allow direct streaming through the receiver, and existing owners of the Nova will be able to get it at a significant price reduction.

Each mailer is painstakingly crafted by hand to the exact measurements of each person’s individual order. Then the mailers are shipped from the North Pole to the warehouse where they are packed up with extra care and lots of love. It really is a heartwarming process. Totally worth $10-$16 dollars.

Surface noise.

Received an extra download code for the new Sunndrug 7" release: Here code: 5n6a-xwub

@dreamover what do you think of the new Ester Drang EP? For anyone else that’s interested, they cover 2nd Space Song by SF59. Very cool.

Really enjoyed this. Love the design, as well. Agreed. I also pre-ordered based off of that first song. Looking forward to hearing more. Also, I forgot to post about The Daysleepers new one (I love it): https://thedaysleepers.bandcamp.com/album/creation

Facedown Records is pressing My Epic's debut album on vinyl for the first time. It's a double LP on cloudy clear vinyl with a gatefold jacket and limited to 300 copies. My Epic - I Am Undone

I ordered a copy yesterday and received a shipping notification early this morning.

Since their concern is the exorbitant aftermarket prices, I'm sure they wanted to wait until the prices on eBay leveled out from this first shipment, and then they would know how to fairly price the clear variant. I'm sure that there was some concern about flooding the market with the initial 300 black copies.
