No. But I did just buy a Cambridge Audio Alva TT V2. Haha. I didn’t pay full price for any of that gear though. I used to be a residential AV tech before I switched to commercial, and got a fair discount with Crutchfield, and a very good discount on Klipsch.
I have the exact same media console you do as well. I'll probably just rip off your set up. I've been to that klipsch page a few times and almost pulled the trigger on those speakers (or the heresy ivs) I think I have to get them from a dealer now.

And the last color repress came in today. That was a fun way of revisiting all their albums. Stoked to see them live soon - never thought I’d say that. Wonder what is in the pipeline next. (Tempted to take a photo of all the color represses all laid out.)
Dude. That gear. Do you work for Cambridge Audio or something?

Eve 6
The other day I randomly listened to a few of their newer songs and..... I was digging them.

Regardless of how good or bad the record will be, it really warms my heart when childhood friends are still making music together. Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, etc...
I'm into it.

I ordered but the package could have looked sooooooo much better. This has a bootleg level of package design.

Neighborhoods would be their best album if it didn't include Love is Dangerous. That torpedos it. Ghost On The Dance Floor is the best blink song and Wishing Well is the perfect pop rock grown up blink song.

Just waiting for Magnolia Electric Co. - Sojourner to be pressed and then I'm getting out of the game.

I wonder what they mean by acoustic? Having sound?

After listening to the three of these I think I need to stop preordering Bright Eyes stuff, didn't dig the last album and I'm pretty indifferent about these three EPs
I agree. They were instant preorders but now I'm not sure why. I liked about half of Cassadaga and haven't really liked anything since. Even the album art has sucked since then now that I think about it. I'll probably take them to amoeba at some point to swap for some store credit.

I’ve been watching this potential trainwreck unfold. Let it go. If anyone feels they’ve been ripped off by any one label seller producer whatever, let it be, it’s their feeling & opinion.
I didn’t read Derek’s dissertation above & don’t have time for it. Sorry dude.
BUT. Bottom line, if MC wants to keep fighting his good fight, right on. Keep it going. Who the fuck are anyone of us schlubs to tell them him what to do?
Y’all mofos need to be more like Frozen…
We're just chatting my man. It's ok.

The store is not responsible for the mistake and as an informed consumer, I know enough to be aware of that.

Lol still fighting in favor of the party with all the resources who failed to meet their end of the transaction and clearly has the resources to rectify the problem.
That's extra weird, dude.
Are we still on this? Sigh.. here we go.
If the item is broken, take it back to the store for a refund. That's what they do. You're not taking a high road by keeping the item to protect the brick and mortar.
Just today, I bought a camp shower. It's a little pump that connects to a sprayer that allows me to wash off while camping. It doesn't work. Guess what I'm going to do? Normally, it's obvious but let me spell it out. I'm going to take it back to the store. And they will accept it. If they don't have a replacement, I'll get my money back. It'll be a great exchange and I'll happily shop there again. Sometimes products are defective and need to be returned.
You still haven't taken one proactive step to get your records replaced. You're inventing problems and then complaining about them.

My local just got copies of MC in, but of course they priced them at $150. Or $175 on discogs. Retail store flipping is one of my biggest pet peeve.

Its not free. The money was already paid and I have in no allegorical way consumed "90%" of the record set and then demanded a refund. That is not even close to what is being discussed here. I want a replacement for something that is fully in tact but erroneously built by a party that was paid for a product that isn't me. There is in no way only 10% of the original product left to return so again your analogies are absolutely irrelevant.
Nothing about my issues has an analog role to an underpaid staff. So your real issues is simply the amount of time it took me to take care of this problem? Which, by the way, the problem itself is not my fault. What if I was in a coma for 10 years. Would you grant me any leeway then? I wasn't but I'm just curious. The thing that is out now is not simply "better" it IS simply the accurately produced correct product that was promised in the first place but not delivered. There is no special feature added to the current product that wasn't available before. My copy of the product has a deficit. The new product corrects the deficit with NO extra special and previously unavailable components. Get it together. You're not even speaking in the same plane of existence. You just don't like how long it took for me to take initiative.
My friend. He's just saying you sound like that type of person. Not that it's the same thing.

I have absolute worked in retail. Class solidarity is a frame of mind, not a resume entry. You embody it in your ideological stances and personal ethics. Simply working in retail does not automatically grant you class solidarity. You could work in retail and still side with an abusive management system. You would definitely be lacking class solidarity in that case and still working in retail.
The store obviously cannot be expected to maintain stock of the item but I know the owner of the intellectual property of the music has ordered the manufacture of more copies of the product. So now that we've wasted time coming to the conclusion that the return to the vendor is out of the question or just less logical, I'm simply positing that its a good idea to contact the company responsible for the manufacturing of the product to attempt to get satisfaction. And you don't have to believe that they will do anything to help me but you should be operating from the perspective that they SHOULD provide me with a corrected product.
And actually, we don't know for certain that I no longer have "the chance." I'm just assuming I wouldn't trouble a small business with something that should be a walk in the park for the source of the product. But maybe I still can consult with the store for advice. I haven't done that yet. I know the stores are generally expected to "stand behind" or "guarantee" products but that is also an outdated and unduly troubling paradigm for the vendor. I have the capability of reflection and critical thought. If a store no longer carries a produce I have an issue with, I go to the manufacturer. Its very simple. Its not a "crazy wavy line" its pretty simple logic. Even if it was 2013 or 2014 right now I would think to contact the record label directly.
I'm literally not just complaining. I'm offering an idea for a solution after considering all of the hurdles that are up in the face of your incessant reliance on there being only ONE SOLE solution and no other possibilities whatsoever at all to protect the honor(?) of a record label being able to dismiss me outright. Truly weird, dude.
In other words, you want to speak to the manager?
Such a long winded way to say you've done nothing and expect a corrected product. -

Wrong. You could have returned it. You've obviously never worked in retail. I have. Class solidarity brother.
The store should 100% stand behind delivering a quality product to the consumer. That's their business after all. If they get a return for a faulty product, they refund the customers money and then send the product back to the manufacturer.
You didn't return your faulty product when you had the chance. You're drawing a crazy wavy line of who should be responsible and who shouldn't. There's a system setup for cases like this and you didn't do anything at the time. It's your fault for keeping the product. Sometimes manufacturers/distributors will issue a recall program for faulty vinyl. Just happened with Green Day's Insomniac. They didn't do this for this release. Although it looks like some people that took proactive steps had theirs replaced. You did nothing proactive and you're just complaining. That's extra weird, dude.

The store should stand behind the products they sell. They would have accepted a return. Sounds like you're shirking responsibility.

Haha, yeah. I also understand that point of view. Plenty of people I still listen to because there are formulaic and I just want to hear them do their "thing."
