Can't speak to the eco unfortunately but I can offer further confirmation that my black copy sounds great, no issues.

Just got an email that mine will be shipped tomorrow; pretty stoked they managed to pull it off!

I've moved a few times in Vegas summer heat (because I'm an idiot and always ended my leases in like August) and used these boxes with no issues: BOXES Not cheap but super sturdy and have nice handholds/lids on them so it's easy to pack, move, and unpack them.

Preorder links have been up for about a month but the first single dropped a few days ago so you can make a slightly more informed decision about whether or not to buy. Personally I really dig it. There's a green variant in his store which ends up being about $52 shipped to the US, or a white US variant which is about $10 or so cheaper. Or of course standard black which is available in a bunch of places, but it seems to be the same cost as the white one regardless of where you buy it from. Single - L'enfer Stromae Store (Green Variant) Bullmoose (White Variant) Target (Standard Black)

I got a shipping notification for my Target version yesterday evening.

Just to provide another reference, I ordered from Juno on September 9th and it was shipped on the 10th. Arrived here in NV like two weeks later I think?

And apparently it features a lot of the same musicians from Cuttin' Grass so I'm definitely interested.

also unrelated but the Wipers have an EP called Alien Boy that's being released on Record Store Day this upcoming weekend FFO the Wipers https://roughtrade.com/us/music/the-wipers-alien-boy-ep

Mine shipped Feb 19th and got here - Vegas - last week, shipped from the UK so YMMV in terms of delivery times. I did get a confirmation email from the store when it shipped.

Always love seeing a new release of hers and, as usual, very reasonably priced even when considering shipping from Canada to the States. PO Link (there are two songs available for listening on there as well)

Meg Myers' new album is up for preorder on Pledge music with a release date of sometime in the fall. With the preorder came the release of the first song, both links found below. Seems like a little bit of a different vibe but I'm still into it. Preorder Link First Song - "Numb"

Thanks for the heads-up! Just got tickets to see them here in May too

Yeah same here. Got the shipping notification for the clear on 1/10 and it's been in "pre-shipment" ever since

Red = Bonded elliptical stylus tip (i.e. the entire tip isn't diamond, it's mostly metal with a little bitty diamond on the end and it is rounded at the end) Blue = Nude elliptical stylus tip (i.e. same shape as the red but now the entire tip is diamond instead of diamond affixed to metal) Bronze = Nude fine line stylus tip (i.e. same as the blue but now the tip is less rounded so you get deeper into the groove) Black = Nude Shibata stylus tip (i.e. same as the bronze but now the tip is even MORE pointy so you get about as deep into the groove as you can) As far as I'm aware the internals stay relatively the same (hence them all having the same form factor/output voltage/etc.) so what you get by switching is just a more "refined" sound in that your stylus is now able to get deeper into the groove and possibly bring to light new sounds you may not have heard in your records before. Whether you're actually able to discern those sounds is very user-dependent so unless you can go straight from red to black (this is definitely a very apparent difference) I would recommend hearing them in person.

I was first exposed to them when they opened for Moscow Radio here in Vegas a few months back and really dug their sort of blues rockish sound. Apparently for their second album they're doing a crowdfunding type of thing so I went ahead and made my contribution. It's currently at 35% funded but I think even if 100% isn't reached they can still put out the album/fulfill the orders? Not totally sure but figured someone here might be interested! LP's are $27 (or $32 for signed versions) and shipping seems to be around $8 depending on where you're located.
