Two weeks from initial shipping date on my Bright Eyes. Last update was on the 22nd saying it was arriving late.

I'm waiting on something that I bought off Bandcamp that went Minneapolis, Des Moines, Chicago (where I live), Chicago suburbs, sat for eight days, back to Chicago, back to the burbs, back to Chicago.

Holy hell. Media mail is a complete clusterfuck at the moment.
 
I've noticed things only arrive on time if they avoid the Chicago or Pittsburgh distro centers. Otherwise they are stuck for weeks
I've sold a couple things on Discogs to NY in the past few weeks that went through Jersey City which is horrible in normal times but I was surprised everything got there on time.

Edit:. I probably just jinxed myself because I have one sitting at Jersey City right now.

Jersey City is a rough hub even before all this nonsense. I assume anything that goes through Bell Garden you can just assume will be forwarded to your next of kin.

I actually try not to order anything from the West Coast to avoid Bell Garden. I had something sit there for a week but I eventually got it.
 
Actively dreading that Morby title is gonna be the next pick. We’re safe from that, right? Lattimore is the next pick? Then...?
 
Didn't realize there was such Kevin Morby hate.
Hate is a strong word. I think he’s an acquired taste I never acquired, but in addition to that, they announced an interesting color variant exclusive. Which would also lead one towards believing if we did get that one, it would be a solid, less interesting variant as well. That’s a double whammy for me.

Regardless, it releases 10/16, so that’d be too much of a delay between album release and shipment for it to be viable I think.

It also seems like the pattern lately is to announce the SS version at the same time as the album.

I think we're due for a reissue in November.
