Same...it's been so long that I totally forgot about this sub lol
got my Fruit Bats - Siamese Dream shipping notice today
Soooo, take it this just is never going to happen, huh?I'm just wondering if I'll ever get that box that was promised to us. It's been quite some time now.
Omg that custom box? So glad I e-mailed them like 2 years ago and asked if I could just get a 7 inch + coffee package instead of that.Soooo, take it this just is never going to happen, huh?
Might email them and ask for something similar. Love the idea of it but, like, my expectations are on the floor. Can't imagine it would be this difficult to source a woodworker to make them after all of this time...Omg that custom box?

Thor?They should just email whoever it is that cranks out thousands of wooden boxes for Joyful Noise every year
Thor?
I never heard of this subscription but clicked here simply 'cause it's a thread I never visited.
I don't plan on joining, but the concept is cool.
I did go on Soundcloud and listen to the Fruit Bats' cover of Hummer. I enjoyed it - gave a cool, breezy atmosphere to a song I know all so well. I could imagine digging the cover in the early evening of a summer day as the sun cedes its position in the sky.
As a big fan of The Blue Nile, I listened to the sample on the website of Pure Bathing Culture covering them. No....god fucking.....no! I tend to try and account for different folks/different strokes but if you like that then you probably just had a literal stroke. It was like a Captain and Tennille performance except right as they were about to go on stage their manager said, "Hey, C&T, ya know how you sound like a neutered sugar cube? Yea, yea....Imma still need you to do that, but, first, line up....this donkey is gonna give ya each a swift kick in the head before you get out there."
Okay, hyperbole....but it was a bad cover.
They are basically a man-and-wife team doing all this by themselves including the shipping, so the shipping can stretch out a bit. They Always answered my emails quickly, so you might just want to email them if in doubtI've never paid much attention to this sub either, but if I signed up for a single month on 7/24 in order to get Fruit Bats, should it have shipped by now? Or do they take care of multi-month members first or something?
They end up finding those custom boxes they promised from the kickstarter yet?From Their newsletter:
BIG news: while going through our inventory, we discovered a small box of previously-sold out records. Specifically, we have a very limited number of Jenn Champion's full album cover of Weezer's The Blue Album. If you missed it before, now's your chance to snag it for yourself (or a few copies for friends).

I feel like musicians’ well-documented inability to meet deadlines + COVID have turned this incredible idea into an imperfect sub for people who have the time/money to let it trickle in as it can. The box falling through months (years?) after the finances probably got washed back into the overhead pot is a bummer cherry on top.They end up finding those custom boxes they promised from the kickstarter yet?
Yeah 2017 is when I backed it. Looks like this was the last update on the kickstarter. It's now just a running joke for me that I use to tickle myself once a quarterI feel like musicians’ well-documented inability to meet deadlines + COVID have turned this incredible idea into an imperfect sub for people who have the time/money to let it trickle in as it can.
