  • My wife and daughter are sick, so far I'm fine, knock on wood, so my wife just said I should "get out of the house, go to a record store or something, you don't need to be cooped up in here with us"... This feels like the meds talking or a trap....

    The soup and snacks went over like gangbusters and the record shop...let's just say I almost made fans of Rilo Kiley and The Walkmen really happy...I should NEVER look at the wall of records!!
    Excited to see De La Soul put 3ft High and Rising up for pre-order with their other records showing coming soon...AND they are FINALLY coming to streaming in March!!! Let's hope more rappers start regaining some control over their music...and of course feeding my vinyl addiction...
    Second day at home with my daughter and I've been letting her pick out records, she likes the process but the music, not so much! Barely gets through a song before she wants to get another record!! She's worse than me! I'm so proud!
    I have no idea why I continued to ignore late period Sonic Youth for so long, it's really good and I feel like an idiot for dismissing it years ago and never going back until now!!
    Mclusky Do Dallas has FINALLY arrived!!! Can't wait to give it a proper spin tomorrow when I have the house to myself!!! Took a little longer than expected, they said May originally I think, but hopefully it'll be well worth the wait!!! No extra charge from FedEx, so far, but they could have knocked instead of just leaving it by the door!!!..might try to give it a sneak peek tonight, I'm a tad excited!!
    Canadian people, I have a delivery coming from the US via FedEx, how much am I going to get dinged for their convenience fee or whatever!?

    In my experience, they've actually been the cheapest of the bunch if you can believe that (compared to DHL and UPS).

    On a related note, I actually had a UPS come through without fees with a declared US$22 value (a record from Paladin), so maybe there's a threshold. Or I'm speaking too early and I get a bill later. That can happen too (although usually with Fedex in the past. Hasn't happened to me with UPS).

    In my experience @Turbo is correct about FedEx being the cheapest. They're also the only ones who've ever sent me a bill after the fact - UPS and DHL won't release until you pay. And will often find the most inconvenient possible place to hold your stuff in the meanwhile!
    Rainy day today, rushing my little one out to the car, she hates the rain, get her in quickly and fire up my usual driving playlist and it starts with Massive Attack "Prey for Rain"... Look phone, if you're going to listen to me read the room!!! I swear if they followed that up with Garbage I was going to throw my phone out the window!!

    Lol! This is no joke, reminds me of the time I went to a Thomas the Tank Engine Convention with my nephew and they were blasting Angel by Massive Attack when we walked in 🤣

    Question, I just received an email from Bandcamp asking for my phone number to complete my shipment saying it's required now for international shipments... It's an album I ordered and the email looks legit but I'm always paranoid about such things, international people is this real or on some bullshit?
    I never agreed to snow in November!!!
    Second day in a row I've let my daughter be in charge of the music selection, any record she wants I'll throw it on and see what happens...and once again she's only interested in my old cassettes!! I think she likes them because she can actually take them out of their cases and put them in the tape deck... looks like another afternoon of 90's hip hop...it's like highschool all over again...well not exactly...
    I've never been more of a casual Blur fan, I know a song or song 2 but never really dug into their discography until this weekend and boy oh boy they are fantastic!!! The good news, I discovered some fantastic music, the bad, I'm now on the hunt for a whole lot of Blur records!!!
    Question about Bandcamp, I have an order that says it will ship on the 2nd and arrive no later than the 16th, does Bandcamp send out tracking or anything to confirm it shipped? Thanks

    Depends on the shipper. Most of the time I get one, occasionally not

    Package arrived in the mail...in a bubble wrapped envelope...no tracking... I'm glad it wasn't a record!!! Hopefully if I ever order a record from Arts and Crafts they do a better job packing that!!

    I ordered You Forgot It In People from their website. It arrived in my city, but popped up with the wrong address when they scanned it, which raised suspicion to them for reusing a label. They forwarded it on to the postal inspector in Los Angeles….no idea when or if I’ll ever get it.

    Didn't expect to start my day with a new LCD Soundsystem song but here we are!!! I really like it which isn't a surprise, I celebrate their entire catalogue!
    Sick baby this weekend so no record show for me! I did get to tell my wife I saved hundreds maybe thousands of dollars and I told myself they probably didn't have anything I actually wanted....I'm living in the land of make-believe at this point!!!
    When I woke up today I never would have guessed I'd buy a cassette but here we are!!! Before you ask it was a live Broken Social Scene show from 2003 they have up on Bandcamp...no regrets.... probably some....
    There's a record show in my city this weekend and I'm about to spend the week talking myself into and out of going....
