  • I see that the USPS is getting caught up on its Christmas backlog, oh wait. If I had a dollar for every time one of packages said arriving late.

    I got deliveries starting on Sunday, so they’re playing catch-up. Certain hubs must be really jammed up - my Dad in FL sent out a package to me (in IA) on 12/4 and it just hit GA two days ago.

    I still am waiting for a package since the 5th. Ive gotten tons of packages since that one has shipped.

    Dec ROTM stuck in Greensboro NC since the 7th. Glad to hear they are getting caught up and can't wait for them to come across whatever stack of media mail mine landed in. It happens.

    How can my Sturgill record arrive in Nashville yesterday morning and Depart Southern CT last night with no scans in between? This shit is almost comical at this point.

    I’ve had some albums take weeks to arrive yet my new Sturgill shipped from Nashville (Grimey’s) to SF in like 3 days. So weird.

    Shit... my daughter ordered Sturgill from our local and the distributor lost some of their order....
    The USPS is garbage lately, that is all. Maybe not their fault, but still nothing is on time anymore.

    I don't mind the late part as much as the tracking just going into an "...........we have no idea where it is now and or when it's gonna show up" status

    @ayayrawn Me too. I think this is really the problem to be honest. But I'm just irritated because my packages never arrive on time and I sent something overseas to someone in September and I am all but certain it never even left the states. Just circled the United States for a couple months before it arrived back to me as unclaimed. Yeah whatever. At some point it is just incompetence.

    Yeah I don’t know some of it I feel bad for them, some of it I don’t. I mean it’s not even media mail packages for me that aren’t arriving on time. It’s priority mail. And sometimes it’ll be one hour away and sit there for days (still haven’t received this one), or it arrives locally and sits there for a day or two.
    I always liked the Craig Finn solo records but the Hold Steady didn't hit with me immediately. They now have, thank God for that. Took advantage of the buy one month get one month free and got the Bandbox exclusive of Heaven is Whenever.
    I’ve never been a huge fan of MLS but I am so pumped that my team Nashville SC has won two playoff games so far in their first season including knocking out the top seed from last year in the East. They are real fun to watch.

    Nice! NYCFC fan here - way to upset Toronto! MLS is far from European football, but it's growing and can be enjoyable if you can get into your local club.

    The highlight of my (pre COVID) summers are knocking back some brews in the supporters section. Really great fun and festive atmosphere. When we can attend sporting events again, you should definitely check out Nashville's Backline Supporters Collective.

    As a long suffering RBNY/Metrostars fan, I can get behind Dax (and to a lesser extent Muyl) winning in Nashville. I’ve always thought that he was one of the more likable guys in the league.

    Good luck the rest of the way! With Philly and Toronto gone, it’s wide open in the East.
    I could really use a 2nd stimulus right now. If only the senate wasn’t busy disputing the election results.

    We had a national scandal over here about 10 years ago when a minister ordered a $16 orange juice in London while on a government trip (the orange juice was what every one talked about, but there were other unnecessary expenditures to go with it like the gratuitous stay at the Savoy and the various limousine rides). All that pales compared to the costs of those rounds golf...

    It bothers me how many people just buy vinyl to flip.

    Crap like this annoys me, yes it limited to 300 copies but it is still available on Grimeys.com

    In my entire life I've bought one record simply because I expected it would greatly increase in value. And it did. I paid $19.99 for it and it's currently the most valuable single record in my collection and I am VERY CONFLICTED ABOUT THIS.

    Self righteous and pretentious are words that seem come to mind when this sort of topic comes up.
    What is your vinyl budget per month these days people? I can't keep with up with everything being pressed. I have at least 30 albums on my to buy list at the moment and there seems to be more by the day. And that doesn't even count what is on my discogs wantlist.
    If I mailed a CD First Class Mail International in late September and my buyer hasn't received it yet what should I do ? Am I screwed, should I refund his money or should I wait a little bit longer? Any possible remedies from the USPS?

    Oh and the U tracking numbers work only until the item arrives in Brazil. After that there's not way to track it.

    @wynn72 it's been extremely hit or miss for me since March. I had some records take 45 days to arrive media mail from NJ to NY. But I ordered a record from Plaidroom on Friday and it arrived this afternoon media mail. I have some sold some expensive records in the past few months and none took longer than a week to arrive via media mail.
    The new Discogs shipping policies are God awful, that's all. It shouldn't take a Ph.D. to figure this out.
    If my records being delivered on time are any indication, if you are voting by mail you should have mailed your ballet about a month ago.
    If you have an informed delivery that says your getting a record today, then just go ahead and assume it isn’t showing up today.

    I have watched the mail truck drive by my house only to receive a “delivery exception”. Bro was just done for the day and couldn’t be bothered.
    This is a moment to prove that Democrats can win an election, and not lose their shit. Because if we are not careful not only will RBG replaced by McConnell which I think will happen, we also lose the election.
    Next to Facebook, Reddit is the shittiest place on the Internet. Twitter is pretty bad as well. Quite frankly social media will be the death of us.
    Signed copies of folklore on CD up on Taylors website in case anyone missed them yesterday.

    This Beirut Explosion is maybe the craziest thing I have seen in this life next to 9/11. Just heartbreaking and they think it was caused by a spark from a welder which in turn ignited 2700 tons of amonium nitrate.
