I don't have any interest in listening to the new album regardless of the accusations... my interest in RA peaked at Heartbreaker with fewer results every record until he fell outta rotation completely. If I did still listen to his music, I don't think my moral radar would be going wild over RA being a shitty boyfriend/husband or manipulating his way into bed... those things aren't illegal. But soliciting nudes from an underage girl is and that's what makes me say fuck this idiot forever. That's also because I can live without his albums. I still have Bowie and Zeppelin on occasional rotation, so I'm not some crusader of justice, apparently. Not totally interested in "innocent until proven guilty" on this one though since he pulled that bullshit Trump play "stay tuned, all the facts will be revealed when the time is right!" and never mentioned it again. Now assuming EVERYTHING he's been accused of is conjecture until proven otherwise, if we move pass "he used his fame to get laid and then was mean" or whatever and went straight to "he asked for naked pictures from a teenager!", gonna assume a lot more people would be on the same side of the argument on this one. Probably not everyone, though and to those people I sincerely say enjoy your mid-tempo country rock!

Happy to hear folks received the 7" with their TTL order. It wasn't included in mine, so I guess this wasn't a bonus with all 300(?) copies - or I'm the anomaly. Wish there were more places to buy the single other than the BE website... with shipping comes to $20 for me domestic... I make more frivolous/impulsive vinyl buys than I'd like to count but can't bring myself to drop $20 on a new 7" for one b-side. Immediate reaction was disappointment in the packaging... was hoping for something a bit more creative (or at least heavy stock gatefold like Salutations) but whatever... I got a new BE record in 2020 and it grows a bit more with me on every spin. Still can't extend that level of gratitude to a $20 single.

Just grabbed a couple things I'd been eyeing on vinyl for years. More than I wanted to spend on records this week, but also priced too good to pass up. Thanks for the opportunity and good luck with the move!

I wouldn't count out a fourth season (I'd enjoy it but, thematically, think it reached the perfect conclusion already*) because Lynch has hinted a bit at the promise of a fourth season. But "The Return" was imposed by Showtime - likely to sell it as an event... cast and crew called it season 3 during production. Stoked for the blu... and stoked for the records... even though half the artists, I wouldn't listen to in any other context than TWIN PEAKS. *I say that. But if they did do another season, I'd be the dumb fan who would immediately respond, "oh yeah, of course a fourth season is necessary. Why would anyone even question it?"

Remastered with a bonus track, too! Didn't sound like it needed remastering to my ears... but I'll take it!

Lurked on this board for years. Compelled to create an account just to add to the staggering disappoint of Sandbag. Didn't order until people here finally confirmed shipments were going out, then ordered with (tempered) confidence. My order shipped without shipping confirmation or tracking (not a big deal) but when it arrived, it wasn't even my order. Addressed to me, no pack list. Not only not the records I ordered, not records at all. A t-shirt. Emailed Sandbag, no reply yet. Spent $100+, no records, no reply... just a shirt I can't even wear. Could be worse, but could be way, way better.
