the band's merch table, on tour.

I don't see it on Discogs or eBay and I haven't seen anyone on here receive theirs. I think Lucas might have not have looked closely enough.

So lame. 

“Hi, I received my crewneck but not the Threadbare 7". I know I had ordered as soon as the collection went on sale and well before there were any "low count" warnings on social media from the band. Will this be shipping separately or am I out of luck? Thanks!”
 
“Thanks for your patience here! I did double check and make sure, but those went very quickly and were only available in the first 1000 orders that were placed. Apologies if you did not get one! We know these were an item a lot of people were interested in. 
 
Thanks very much and have a good rest of your day!
Lucas

Huh. Somebody must have deleted those files from your hard-drive I guess.

Lmao, I got about 3 sentences in before I gave up.
 
go back to 4chan you fuckin mouth breathing victim blaming predator apologist. 
 
edit to say I read the entire thing and wow, what a predictably scummy take. 
 
fuck Ryan adams, fuck his new music, fuck his old music, fuck you too.

Bingo.  Texted a few friends something very similar in an attempt to avoid raining on any parades in this thread.  Didn’t want to be that guy, but now it sounds there’s grounds for a discussion.
 
I listened to 2 of the 3 singles.  They’re okay.  They’re not bad by any means but they’re also not up to the quality you’d expect to hear on a National record.  Try as you might, telling yourself “hey, this isn’t a National album, it doesn’t have to sound entirely like The National” is fine on paper.  I’d agree with you.  But when Matt’s unmistakable voice swoops in, the line becomes a little blurry.  At some point it feels like I’m listening to National b-sides that weren’t quite fleshed out enough to be b-sides.  Not meant to shit on Matt and everyone involved in making the record, just an honest opinion.  The fact is, if you’re looking at that deluxe, you’re paying $30 extra for a 2nd LP of tracks that’s weren’t solid enough to make the cut of a record that’s not solid enough to make the cut of a National album.  Maybe that’s a hot take.  $35-40 would’ve swayed me to roll the dice, but I’ll probably lock in a copy of that indie blue with Bull Moose and decide if it’s worth keeping before it ships out.  I really enjoy his EL VY album, but I feel like those tracks impressed me a lot more – even on first listen – than these are.  But of course it’s Matt Berninger.  His voice is iconic and I can’t see him slapping his name and face on an album that’s trash or has no merit.  I think it’ll be a nice morsel to tide us over until a new National album... but if their next LP is the full meal, I’m not going balls deep on deluxe breadsticks.  Even if they’re signed.

The cynic in me thinks Abbey Road is always a top seller because of the iconic cover and people just buy copies to frame. 

They HAVE to be routing things to St. Louis on purpose. That's three of us that have had the same exact thing happen. Gets to destination Detroit and then goes to Missouri only to come back here. It's too specific to be an accident.
 
Mine arrived back in Detroit 5 days ago and has been in transit since...hopefully to Pontiac and not back to St. Louis or I'm not gonna be happy. It only took 11 days to go from LA to Detroit, but it's now been almost a full 4 weeks since it got to Detroit the first time. I'm patient, but that's unacceptable, even in these crazy times.

Have they mentioned how many copies of the tour variant they're selling each night?

A record would have been preferred over a cassette but this was probably the coolest SDPS item of all 12, with the Hank bobblehead being the second best. All the other items have been pretty underwhelming.  I'm certainly not mad that they're not doing the subscription again next year.

Ignores the bigger point that it takes one (or more) away from the people who want to pay the retail price and that its predatory to those who missed an announcement or weren't quick enough to order. But the secondary market logic is sound. But yeah, more flippers keep the secondary market prices down, sure.
 
Though, I think its less of an issue with releases like these (We have several days to order, its produced to order, so there is no risk of it selling out). Clearly its a bigger issue with those limited qty releases (/500 or /1000). 

To be a dick, I thought that was obvious.

Well, guys...
 

 

 

 

 

I thought popstar was going to be put up today. I put a note in my calendar after seeing it on the lonely island Instagram story a few weeks ago. They're already finished because they're selling them on their tour now. Hoping to get the connor 4 real cover 

Hey Travis,
 
Do you know the pressing info for the All Time Low Don't Panic: It's Longer Now? I believe the Merchnow pressing was 2000.
