Sad Heart

Curse the Son - Psychache

Only 8 songs, wth?! I'll still be buying it though for sure. 

They are still available on the bandcamp site!

You should add FS in your title.

SO much shit has happened since I was stuck playing ps4 all weekend. Nice work, guys, especially Derek. Really stoked for all of this.
 
Also, my Cloudkicker represses came in over the weekend.

Just grabbed one right now for a friend. : )

As much as I LOVE BN, I vote to keep them off the list. Too much singing. This is the instrumental thread after all.
 
Guys, seriously though, probably my second favorite instrumental album ever (Tertia is first, duh):

I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh. That .gif was hilarious.
 
Ok, so here's the deal. I bought this for one reason: the lady loves BN. I actually bought her a copy of this on black a few months back. She is in a weird situation as she is storing all of her stuff in her car while she interns in Uruguay. Long story short, that fucking copy is in her car ... yeah, I said it. So, I ordered this to replace the black copy which possible could be fucked to all hell or could be perfectly fine. Who knows. Anyways, to make a long story short, if that copy is fine, I'll sell you the green at cost. I won't know until early September when I go pick her up from the Airport though. An odd situation for the both of us, I know, but hey, I'm offering you a green if the black is intact. I'm not a really big fan of this record anyway...

Yup.

Guess I was thinking this press was coming out in Nov. cause I was looking at the thread title. Silly me.
So for anyone who is interested in the seafoam offer, looks like we will be able to do this earlier than expected.
Sorry for any confusion on my part.

this is my last off-topic post, but I think you are right and I think we will have them soon and DEAR FUCKING CLAUDIO CHRIST I can't wait till Sept. 27th. I'm going to piss in my pants (literally) because I am not leaving the front row.

Glad you scored one, dude!
 
Offer is still open to anyone else if my other black copy is fucked -- sell seafoam at cost or trade for another variant.

YES!!!!!! I GOT ONE! yayay
 
mattphotographs you are still amazing. thank you!

I don't care what copy I have, and neither does she (getting her into records at least, even if it's BN haha - can't be too picky), so I'm down for that, man. If the black is still good I'll sell you the green at cost, and if it's fucked, I'll trade you for your black.

As a "purchaser":  I've probably purchased 1,000 albums in the last 6 years, give or take... and I can't recall a single one getting lost.  Sometimes patience is the key.  I've had records take close to a month to show up, despite being mailed just a few states away.  That's usually someone dragging their feet for whatever reason.  One time someone wrote down my address incorrectly, and it was returned to their address and they had to try again.  I guess that happens.  And I've had maybe one or two albums ordered from labels that failed to show up, but they were very good about replacing them.  The people who deliver my mail know the routine at this point, and I'd like to think they take precautions to make sure accidents don't happen.
 
But not everyone is as fortunate.  I have friends who live in areas that aren't fit to receive packages for one reason or another.  I have no doubt that things slip through the cracks.  More than likely, though, I'm willing to bet that there's just been a holdup on USPS' behalf.  Or perhaps some miscommunication with the address.  Can't really make any more educated guesses other than those since you've kept your situation rather vague.
 
I believe you have 45 days to open a Paypal dispute, from the time you've purchased the item.  If they're failing to respond to you after several attempts in those 45 days, I'd definitely open up a case.  If you paid for something as a gift and then need to "come to an agreement" with a complete stranger, you done fucked up.  Never gift unless you know the individual... or they have an extremely reputable, active reputation.
 
As a seller: I've never had a parcel lost, nor have I had to dispute anything with a customer.  (Knock on wood.)  I'm sure that providing a receipt of shipment doesn't really do a whole lot for you.  Or rather, it'd be difficult to "prove" too much from it.  But to cover your own ass, add tracking.  Despite what a lot of people think, tracking is not included in Media Mail.  (But it is featured with Priority.)  It's an extra dollar and confirms that your record is reaching its destination.  That at least covers the problem of something being lost in transit.
 
But as a rule of thumb: if the value of the record is something that you can't spontaneously front at any given moment, insure it at the post office.  You lose a bit on the sale, but it's completely worth it.  If I sell a $20 album on Discogs, I'm going to ship it Media Mail and add tracking, since that works without an issue 99% of the time.  In a worst case scenario - if the record is destroyed in transit or lost, and I dispute the incident but still have to end up paying - I'm out $20 and a record that's not all that rare.  It sucks, but life moves on.  But it it's a $50 album... or a $90+ album... that's a whole different story.  Which is why insurance is a must for valuable items.  Even if it's damaged or lost, you're not out the funds.
 
If you really want to cover your tracks, I'd photograph the record in the condition that you're selling it, and then also after it's been securely packaged.  It would benefit you greatly in case anything happens to the album, and the USPS need to investigate the case for insurance.  Obviously this is a huge pain in the ass if you sell a lot of albums, and I very practice it.  But it's a really good idea.
 
tl;dr version:
 
As a Buyer:
• Do contact the seller more than once to discuss any delays in shipping.
• Do open a Paypal Case if you don't have your record within 45 days.
• Do not Paypal any funds as "Gift" unless you know the seller personally, or they have an outstanding reputation.
 
As a Seller:
• Do spend the extra dollar and obtain tracking for your packages.
• Do insure packages in the $50+ dollar range.
• Consider photographing your record right before it's shipped.
 
Hope that helps.

Now playing this album.
LOOOOOOOOOONG AGOOOOOO
JUST LIKE THE HEEEEARSE YOOOU DIE TO GET IIIIN AGAAAIIIIIN

It's better than nothing I suppose. And I'm holding a Prince record that I just bought. That counts for something, right?

Immediately thought of you and all the other poor bastards that have shelled out so much for this gem.
