cwhitmuzik Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hey! First of all, we are so sorry for the delay on the Dog Problems vinyl. I promise we’ve been doing our best to keep everyone up to speed, but sometimes information is hard to come by. So here’s the deal.. Early on in the Dog Problems project we had a couple issues with the die-cuts and dog bowl etching. Both caused a slight delay, but were resolved quick and things were looking good. Then last Thursday, the records showed up and I was totally blown away.. until I looked a little closer. Both the die-cut and etching were still bad. We spent so much time and effort making sure these turned out as cool as possible, I couldn’t stand the thought of sending out records with such major imperfections. We reached out to the manufacturers and they very quickly (and nicely) took action to figure out what happened. Long story short, the original (incorrect) plates and cuts were used, so because of this, they have taken full responsibility and offered to run new batch. This obviously makes us very happy. So what does this mean to you? They are anticipating having the records done by the 31st, which means we could get them within a week or so later. I’m going to guess, based on previous shipments, we’ll probably be able to begin shipping no-later than Feb 10th, but as always, we won’t know for sure, until we know for sure. Updates will most definitely be passed along as we get them. What else? Nate and I have decided we want to throw in a extra little gift (Shipped with Dog Problems) to everyone who pre-ordered the record. This is still to be determined, but it will be our way of saying sorry. We want everyone to walk away from this happy and not have any hard feelings More info in the coming weeks. THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU for being so ridiculously patient throughout all of this. Talk soon! Sam ajismetal and josefelipes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russtcb Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Very cool update. It's so nice to get so much info and the promise of something extra instead of being ignored like so many other artists seem to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafening Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Saddle Creek did the same for the Adult Film delays. They went above and beyond which wasn't necessary but nice. It makes me more willing to put my hard earned drug money towards these labels and vendors. but if I get a puppy, I'll be pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derkwithano Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I love The Format and did not like Fun.'s first release. Their new stuff is catchy. Happy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuneout Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't get how anyone who likes the format can dislike fun. Really? Some Nights-era fun. and The Format are hardly similar outside of voice, and even Nate has developed a more confident style of singing far from his I+L moping. It's easy to prefer one over the other. I love Some Nights and everything Nate has touched but Some Nights is not everyone's style. Which is fine, but it is lame when people trash SN just for being different ("mainstream"). That album is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I don't get how anyone who likes the format can dislike fun. whoever produced Some Nights had to be high...I mean who would fuck with Nate's voice like that... Dog Problems is to Pet Sounds as Some Nights is to Kokomo Just my opinion... Pozo, toxicity, LightningSpike and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnorth Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Anyone who likes the Format should like Aim and Ignite though. Sounds like a perfectly natural progression from Dog Problems. And while I totally get not like Some Nights it's absolutely fantastic in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafening Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 whoever produced Some Nights had to be high...I mean who would fuck with Nate's voice like that... This is what I hate so much about Some Nights. Who seriously thought turning an incredible voice into an intolerable voice was a good idea?
