In this case, it's technically a good thing. He told the bankruptcy court he intended to fulfill all the orders, and Bandbox provided proof of the outstanding orders along with the information as to whom & where the records should be shipped. Sure, he was likely also taking the list so he could...

And just edited to the 18th with a note that all physical goods will be in stores "this winter" With the known ambiguity that they don't know for sure when everything will ship, it's really odd that they're still unprepared to take preorders

Then add Red Stars Theory to that! ...and also Juned, just because

The band & Suicide Squeeze made a joint announcement in May with "plenty to say in the coming months..." and putting the discography up on Bandcamp. No idea if we'll get a box or individual but they're coming.

It's been awhile but the last time someone checked, they were told that there was no internal champion (SP employee) pushing for them. I'm just hoping Hollywood doesn't charge too much of a licensing fee for Spanaway if (when!) another label steps up. Since they have a personal relationship &...

I don't know if it's an issue with the estate or the label (or battle between those 2), but repressing even 1 Charley Pride record would have been a genuinely big deal

VMP didn't pick it because it was the best platform - it's impossible to be unaware that it's an awful fit for their intended usage. It was a free already-existing option in which they could control access.

Ah, I misunderstood - thought I read that at least one of the "promo" accounts was someone with a gift sub who got screwed so I was guessing that it was a bunch like that. But also, yes, it is incredibly shortsighted to give the people with the loudest social media voice and following a reason...

This is incredibly dumb for 2 reasons - While there are outliers like Nathan, for the overwhelming majority of these, someone *did* pay for it. To denigrate them like this is a bad look. And even more egregious, these are the types of people you should be aggressively courting the most instead...

...Judgment Day was Aug 29 It was nice of PAM to still wish someone a happy birthday a day after the whole nuclear armageddon thing

If you drive off all your sub customers, problem solved!

Given that they're already trying to sell the Superchunk, I figure if I do get any records at all, it's a bonus.

I mentioned a few pg back that I left some pointed commentary on my reasons for cancellation after 9 years as a member, and this is the first I've seen from the company that they're aware I've cancelled; the same email sent to anyone whose sub is lapsing. Last year's 8 free records (got some...

I received an auto email this morning that my sub is going to expire in a few days but if the best they can offer is "We'd love to have you stay on board as a subscriber and not only continue receiving awesome ROTMs each month, but keep your member perks like free shipping and member pricing."...

Much more important (to me) is the album cover on the left of the photo - confirmation that they have possession of The Long Winters records

In all walks of life, there are people who are 100% focused on something, and then after a break from it return with clarity about what worked the first time and what needs to change for it all to go better. There are others who are going to do it their way no matter what. I'm in the...

I sent them an email on the 16th asking specifically about the Superchunk being offered in their August boxes since I'd sorta like the copy I paid for last year, if they're still committed to that. The auto-response said they try to get back to everyone within 48 hours... maybe metric time is...

Cut to August 2025 - Free hat with every purchase of Gus Cannon!

I perked up when I saw Creem because I have a Boy Howdy coffee mug from the KS for their relaunch. It's not what it was in its heyday but I'm glad it's back in existence.

A promo postcard was in my (final?) box, offering up a free VMP/Creem shirt if I subscribed to Creem for a year. I'd almost be into it if it wasn't for the dueling logos at the bottom. https://www.creem.com/products/bury-me-with-my-records-t-shirt
