Troy

Went to a Reckless Records in Chicago over the weekend and bought Warpaint's The Fool and Exquisite Corpse.

Aaaaand this is now at the top of my RSD list.

Thrice's The Artist And The Ambulance on green from Hot Topic. I remember driving an hour and a half in the rain to buy a copy, and played it at full volume the moment I got home.

I had no idea Now, Now's Threads has been sold out online for a while. Every time I've seen them at shows over the past six months, they've had the LPs for sale.

I was surprised to see Bad Religion's No Control being sold at HT for over $20 considering Epitaph generally has the band's LPs for around $12.

The smudge on mine in the exact same place, though it's not white.

I can get down with this. Also glad it's not on a picture disc. EDIT: I'd buy the fuck out of Evening Out With Your Girlfriend.

JT's one of the nicest people in music, but I can't say he crafts amazing lyrics. In any case, this is a bit expensive just for me to get a record. Perhaps I'll pick one up when he plays a local show.

I chose not to re-order, but customer service emailed me today, saying they just shipped a copy via FedEx this time. The tracking link seems to work, so I'm optimistic.

After ordering s/t in early November and not receiving it by Christmas (though I still got 'Blue'), I tried emailing the 3eb store and messaging the band's Twitter to find out what's going on & when I can expect my record. No luck. This morning, PayPal ruled my claim in my favour and refunded $40 to my account. I'm glad not to have lost all that money, but what should I do now? Order another one and if it doesn't arrive, hope to get my money back 2.5 months later? Fuck this.

Over a month since my shipping notice for s/t. Escalating my dispute to a claim if it's not in the mail tomorrow.

Fuck. I was hoping they'd still be there next week, considering Hybrid Theory's been there forever.

My copy of Blue, which I ordered on December 7, arrived in the mail yesterday. Looks and sounds beautiful. As for s/t, ordered on November 11 — customer service replied to my e-mail: "I'm sorry the Self Titled has not arrived. Besides the holiday season, I don't know the reason for the delay. If we for any reason receive it back, we will let you know and ship it directly. Thank you for contacting Customer Care, [email protected]" What is the best option for me at this point? Both USPS and 3EB's customer service don't seem to know what happened with my package. I already opened a PayPal dispute a few days ago to prevent losing $40, but I just want the record. Should I order another one before they sell out? Should I perhaps wait it out a little more?

Received a shipping notification for my copy of S/T on December 7, but USPS tracking only states "Electronic Shipping Info Received" on the 8th. It still hasn't shown up to my house, so I sent an e-mail to customer service to see what's going on. I'm optimistic about getting their response after reading some comments here.
