I spoke with a USPS employee today. As you and everyone knows they got slammed from holiday stuff. But after the holidays apparently Covid went around like crazy at the sorting / distribution facilities. A good handful are even shut down. So depending on where you live and where your record is coming from it could end up at one that is closed and it’ll sit there til they have employees back from their quarantine time. LA has been hit hard. Any record I get from CA most likely sits for weeks. But yah, I figured they were backed up but what makes it even slower is that media mail is last in the list. They focus on priority and flat rate first and media mail is last. So another big reason as why it’ll just sit there for weeks. Sucks but it is what it is. Just thought I’d pass that info along for everybody.

Never mind, found it on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Fountains-Limited-180-Gram-Transparent-Colored/dp/B08SFVQ36V/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=fountains+of+wayne+red+transparent&qid=1610853743&sr=8-1

I'm beginning to wonder if my Laura Jane Grace LP pre-order from Polyvinyl will ever show up. Ordered it the day it went live in October, finally got a shipping notification on December 11. Then nothing for almost a month. The package even fell off my USPS Informed Delivery due to no updates. Then, magically, it got scanned again at the same facility in Champaign on January 9. Since then, it's been on tour, going to St. Louis, then Memphis, then Pittsburgh. Presumably Cleveland will be next, but it still has no official delivery date. Someday I'll get to spin this record!

Not christmas-related, but I’m still waiting on variant 1 from original day 1 pre-orders lol

They've definitely been listening to a lot of Talking Heads and Gang Of Four.

That makes a lot of sense as to why some things are lightning fast one direction and backed up for weeks in another. Thanks for the info.

Bump for the new video EDIT: also her KEXP interview/show

Black sounds great. Was pleasantly surprised after hearing how bad the other pressings were.

WHY EVERYONE BEING SO MEAN TO ME?!?!!? LOL. Fuck him . Music was always meh at best. He's always been a POS anyways. And that interview with Carlson...another POS person...is a fuckin' joke. Boo fuckin' hoo. You laid down with dogs...be prepared to wake up with fleas.

First blue sounds fine. Try black!

Ditto!

haha. Sorry buddy. She's a keeper.

Burials is the newest AFI tunes I fuck with.

He may find another label willing to release his music but to use the phrase “accepting” to describe someone who supports Trump is laughable

Yea, I also hope that the person that openly supports a man who is neither inclusive NOR accepting finds a label that’s cool with that? Do you even know what’s happening in the world? This dude didn’t get cancelled (or whatever) because he attended a (klan) rally, he did that amidst a pandemic, and openly supports the big orange douche. I don’t have to imagine him getting cancelled for simply “attending a rally” because the idiot went and made it a reality.

More so it's a working relationship that one of the parties didn't want to continue. He's not cancelled.

We love you! There's a reason my order was in the triple digits with this record lol

1. Doesn't matter because I'm addressing the fact you don't care if it's a bootleg or not. 2. I didn't know you were going to research the bootleggers and their platform to make sure they align with your values. Let us know what you find. 3. Your logic defies comprehension.

But you're cool giving money to bootleggers to listen to said fuckhead? You draw a curvy ass line my friend.

to be fair, it says virgin on the listings, so do we have another mars volta situation, where it is a completely legal repress and homeboy just signed a bad contract? perhaps. also, lemme make it more clear: THIS FUCKHEAD BLEW HIS WAD ON A FAILED WRESTLING LEAGUE VENTURE AND GOES ON ALEX JONES' PODCAST SPEWING BULLSHIT. IF I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE HIM MY MONEY, I AM HAPPY TO CIRCUMVENT THAT.

is it hard to understand that music Corgan made before becoming a wackadoo is still important to me and i would like to have it on vinyl?

My local store got these in last Friday (when I was picking up the Prince set). Unless you absolutely need to buy the Mellon Collie box from the official site, copies are gonna be everywhere and plentiful for a while, at lower prices.

Personally don't need this reissue but that's typical, right? Not that I really fault them – I'm sure that shipping a sturdy boxset isn't dead-cheap. Did you pull the trigger? I suspect a lot of retailers will be getting copies of this, probably for a bit cheaper if you cared to wait. Hopefully it's the amended 2014 press, or the same plates from them.
