I listened to some new songs and dang... he always sounded sad and woe is me, but now it  just comes across as pathetic instead of endearing.

Anyone in Toronto interested in a stack of this dipshit's vinyl? Nothing rare or special - just some LPs and some EPs that I haven't had an ounce of desire to spin in a while. I don't have the patience to list for sale or even ship. Maybe we could work out a trade or just buy me some fancy guitar strings. 

So now, when is this gonna ship? 

Just couldn't bring myself to buy that Spiderman thing, but I am v excited about the other two.

I'm just here to say that 24hrs isn't enough time to reply to your concern. Working in a world that sometimes required email replies to unhappy people - your amount of disappointment and frustration won't (and shouldn't) dictate how quickly someone can respond to you.

You've definitely got some grievances that they need to address, but you're going to be better off giving it a week, please walk back from the ledge.

Again, I actually would have missed this had I not saw it on twitter because I'm not checking a thread for a Patreon club that I don't take part in. & more! How opened ended.... 

You did the right thing.

My advice would be focus on finding good used collections. It’s hard to open a new store focused only on new common stuff because most people will order it online nowadays, Amazon etc. 

 

if you can get people in with rare stuff and keep the rarities coming that’s what will build customers and profit. 

This is important. I haven't stepped in a store that only sells new vinyl in at least fifteen years. My first (and really, only) draw to any record store is the quality and diversity of the used section. Keep it organized and keep it interesting, my favourite store has a new arrivals section for the used vinyl split up into daily section which they swap out as the days pass. 

All my new vinyl is ordered directly from labels or bands since that where the most interesting variants seem to be available.

 Second City and other fulfillment companies should know how to ship, and if you’re hearing more bad things than good, there’s a problem. That’s all.

Wanna trade jackets? Nah? Aight, no one cares.

No thank you, I'm pleased with my sleeve. Thanks for asking though, that is very kind of you. 

I think it is important to provide a contrast to the negative experiences, especially since the tone of this thread has turned to "Second City orders will arrive damaged". Like others have said, others will benefit from having access to a multitude of experiences.

The community SHOULD care for robust discourse. I'm sorry if my reply rubbed a sore spot, if it came off as if I was bragging about not having any damaged sleeves and minimizing you pain. I regret any harm I have caused you. 

Both of mine came from Second City and were perfect. Just felt compelled to add. 

Can someone give me a quick rundown of what was so great about dead format? I remember being blown away at how bad it was compared to all the hype. What was  I missing? 

Got me dat tour press.

my splatter copy arrived today..

 

interesting that it is already here while you others in the US are still waiting for yours to arrive

I think the play here is to deliberately disrupt and delay domestic mail in order to reduce/eliminate public confidence in the USPS' ability to handle mail-in ballots for the upcoming Federal election. Failed state doing failed state things.

I'm in Canada and received mine almost two weeks ago, but it was delivered by DHL(in the us)/T-Force (in canada).

Also, I feel like this is one of the few "old" albums that I have bought recently that came with a DL code. Kind of happy about it as I feel like the files I have had of this album are the same files I downloaded in like 2003 and just moved from device to device... 

Re: all USPS mail woes. 

Isn't your government appointed USPS leadership currently, actively, and purposely making terrible service speed/delays a thing? Heaped on top of covid-19 protocols I can't imagine anyone being caught off guard at mail delays right now. 

Also, this splatter is wonderful! Waiting on my new turntable to arrive before playing it though.

I'll take an extra off your hands of you end up with too many free ones 😆

Also got double shipping emails, but my assumption is it's just a system quirk. 

I feel like this was a one album only kind of bit. 

It will be a thing soon.

VERY happy JPC wouldn't let me check out with a Canadian mailing address. Sorry for everyone's shit though.

DAMN.

Are you guys clowning this man in the YouTube comments? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

 

He added this to the video description: "Alternative Title: Hipster complains about colored plastic"

His personality presents as more incel than hipster, but that's just my take.

Black vinyl version is out if thats something you'd be interested in

https://www.secretlystore.com/correspondence-jens-lekman-annika-norlin

Thanks for sharing! I knew but I'm 100% that bitch that thinks they need the yellow. I'll linger around and see if I can get a yellow, since the black will probably be available for a long time to come. 

Thank you though

If there are any leftovers of the Jens Lekman from this month for sale in the Secretly Shop for members, would appreciate if someone would hit me up. Thanks!

I would also like to have some help with this! 

Well, that was an instant purchase. Thank you. 

Man, what an upbeat album.

I don't even remember which variant I ordered but I'm excited to listen to this album. Y'all are getting me juiced up.

I just won a sealed copy of the first press of A Mark, A Mission... on ebay for $20 + shipping. I would buy this in a heartbeat for nostalgia. 

I got a copy on ebay a few years ago for $20 as well, I was watching this listing wondering if it was going to go up at all and was hoping someone here would grab it. Nice one!
