wiscodeman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ordered. Does anyone know if the order #'s can tell how many have been ordered so far? Mine is 901XX, so does that mean I fell into the top 100 orders? I'm assuming not. Not sure how Sup Pop works on that end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Received the following email response to my query about the loser edition: "your order was placed early enough to receive the Loser edition for sure" I placed my order around 1:45pm, so maybe other late comers can gauge by that. As others have pointed out, it seems that there will be plenty of copies of the "loser edition" available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeAlumni Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 From Sub-Pop: "Here's some details for ya - Sub Pop's limited, colored-vinyl, LOSER EDITION of this 3xLP is gonna be on red, white, and clear vinyl, respectively. This is the only colored vinyl combination that exists (one of each, all together in one package). Once the limited edition is sold out, the reissue will have all 3 pieces on black vinyl."

forbenator Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I talked to Sub Pop at 5:44PM EST when I was told that there were plenty still available! Don't worry guys! You're wayyyy ahead of the curve!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well damn. Fuck The Postal Service for posting the Cinderblock link to Facebook. I was too frantic to think that these would be available through the Sub-Pop website too. I fucking hate Cinderblock. Oh well...Only an $8 difference if I had ordered from Sub-Pop with UPS shipping. Kind of a lot, but nothing to cry over. I could have gotten that $8 back if Cinderblock didn't have stupid fucking policies. You can't cancel a pre-order with them for whatever reason. So if I wanted that $8 back I'd have to order from Sub-Pop and then wait for my Cinderblock order to arrive and then return it to them and wait for a refund and hope they pay for me to ship it back to them. Not worth it. Yeah sucks. I had been following this release through VC so I already had the order page open when it went live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Kudos to Sub Pop for acknowledging that some of us have to work on Mondays. Ordered a couple copies once I got home. And sorry, I dig the "new" song, but I basically dig everything PS has ever done.And yet I HATE Owl City with a fuckin' PASSION.......

LIGMA_BALLZ Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Shitt I wonder if they're gonna do another limited pressing give away like they did with fleet foxes and beach house for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no use for a username Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Even if it's not the most limited pressing ever, as a lover of colored vinyl, it'll still be quite nice to have in my collection. This! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agaetisbyrjun Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 "To the best of our knowledge at this time, no, The Postal Service is not currently working on new material. And no, "A Tattered Line of String" is not a Give Up leftover from 2003. For those of you who like details like this, this song was actually begun in 2006 and finished up in 2012." - subpop via youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with this theory is that just because something sucks, that still hasn't stopped him from putting it out in recent years :-P nivek87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 what's funny is that if you talk to a shipping/packaging guy at Sub Pop you might be talking to Mark from Mudhoney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear801 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Im semi-embarrassed to be a Postal Service fan so I didn't really need a tshirt proclaiming my interest in them. Haha. LOL i think a few of us are in that boat. some of the lyrics are a little embarassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 LOL i think a few of us are in that boat. some of the lyrics are a little embarassing. Its actually the music that makes it good for me. The lyrics/vocals would be a turnoff if it was accompanied by a different musical style. Probably why Im not a Death Cab fan at all.

andrewlucas Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 All of my purchases have to be sneaky so my fiancé doesn't see them. I have my coworkers buy my stuff and I pay them cash on payday. I couldn't order until this morning. I hope I get the loser edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheresoulmeetsbody Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 i don't wanna bump the death cab thread. but this postal service release is just making me think about the death cab box set i still have a month to wait for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I've tried so many times to get into death cab but it just doesn't hold my attention past 2 or 3 songs. And I hate how some songs start out great but then get boring. Like the first track on narrow stairs, great melody and lyrics until it picks up. Sadly the only songs I like are the "radio" songs. 213041284s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
