How good are the vendors you order from on communicating with you when a pre-order has been delayed? I get that there is a massive delay on vinyl production right now but there are pre-orders that I have that are 3 or 4 months late and I have no earthly idea when they are getting here. 

I would say more than half of my delays haven't been communicated to me. I usually check Discogs to see if my variant or other variants are online before emailing but if it's months past they need to say something. A few labels got their Paypal accounts shut down because of delays and not getting orders out within their original timeframe so that's another fun problem in the world of vinyl.

Has anyone's Smart Punk orders over black friday shipped yet?

If they don't do the Underoath/Spiritbox tour that's gonna be a huge bummer. I can't think of a suitable replacement either... Fingers crossed they can all kiss and make up.

The shows need to be cancelled. A friend of mine got tix to VA Beach, and 68 can't play due to covid. He's really disappointed.

I wish there was media mail. Oh well. I'm glad it's getting pressed.

The email wasn't 100% clear from Mondo but they said "We also will be releasing the soundtrack 2XLP next week on vinyl, but more info on that to come very soon." The email was in reference to a Halo Infinite poster, but also states they're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Halo. So I'm not sure which one the vinyl will be for. My guess is Infinite.

It's also kind of weird Hot Mulligan is opening for KP. I'm sure they're friends and KP has been around longer but HM has more monthly listeners and they sell more tickets. HM can sell out a 1000 cap show months in advance but the last tour KP did with Citizen they couldn't sell out at all.

Songs like that have been a dime a dozen for the last 10 years. This band officially does nothing for me anymore. Sorry.

Yeah, for anyone who doesn't know, definitely don't order from Paper + Plastick.

Repress. No idea if it's in hand or a preorder.

Did OP repost someone elses post? This is really weird. Someone might need to tag an Admin in this.

Audio of the livestream will be released digitally on December 10th

Dark mode would be sweet.

He really slapped 1 extra song on the album and called it a deluxe.

CDs should ship in December or early January, Vinyl will ship hopefully spring 2022

I believe No Sleep found a different pressing plant so the wait won't be as terrible as it has been for the last year, which is also why these are $25.

I didn't think it needed a new thread but Ludo put up 7"s of Scare Me b/w Angel in a Hoodie for $15 on their official webstore. Obviously pretty high but they're independently released and you support the band directly.

I was going to nab the Demi Lovato one...but I've dropped off on caring for her as she has become insufferably annoying and frustrating as of late. From her bullshit "California sober" nonsense that's essentially an insult to anyone battling addiction & struggling with recovery to changing her pronouns and then back again and now her wackadoodle obsession with UFO's and saying that extraterrestrials shouldn't be called "aliens" as that's a derogatory term. What in the fuck?!?!

Oh...and can't forget when she went off the rails on her socials and blasted an independent froyo shop in CA because although they served their treats accommodating anyone with special dietary needs...she still felt that because they had sugar-free options, it was triggering to her a person recovering from an eating disorder. 

@jhulud I think it's best for people to remember that she did so much heroin she should have died. The effect that had on her brain is extreme and usually it takes 6 months of sobriety to help the brain function regularly again. In her case, she may never get back to what is considered healthy brain activity and functionality. I agree she's had some ridiculous moments but I know if I was in her shoes I'd probably be in the middle of some wild antics as well.

And what @scottheisel said, major labels really should do their own production. It'd possibly save them money in the long run and they wouldn't have to wait as long in between releases. Of course the small labels need that to happen the most. Outsourcing and relying on other businesses is in my opinion the primary reason we have these "shortages." Meanwhile Google made their own Tensor chip and there's no shortage but god forbid a major label or corporation think for once.

Seems to have a bit of arena rock/butt rock influence, but otherwise good.

That outta /250 flew fast. Glad I got one.
