    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    This guy is emerging as a full-blown hero here ... assuming, of course, any of this actually pans out. https://www.reddit.com/user/MichaelFigaro/

    Interestingly enough, albums do still show up on the site if you search for them individually.

    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    Also, given their proclivity for deep discounts, kinda surprised they didn't just set up a full-blown fire sale with their in-stock records rather than just take everything down. Guessing they were able to find a buyer for their warehoused stock instead. We should keep an eye out for anyone...

    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    Wow. Must admit the ongoing silence is pretty surprising given the company's generally solid track record with communication. But I guess actions are saying all that needs to be said right now. Really hoping they find a way come through with at least some of those long back-ordered albums so...

    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    Has anybody who pre-ordered the Yo La Tengo gotten a cancellation email or refund? I'm curious if they're just not gonna do that one now or if they'll maybe try to press what was ordered and leave it at that. I hadn't ordered it yet myself, but I am genuinely curious how that might play out as...

    They appear to have gravely misjudged the market for Emo reissues, and that may well have been the undoing.

    Bandbox: an uncompensated review of an interesting new club

    Ooh, I remember really liking that Department of Eagles album, but $45 feels kinda steep. Here's hoping there's a sale on soon. And since we're talking about those zines, I gotta say it's pretty baffling that they are holding up shipping on some albums when you consider 1) lead times from...

    Over here ogling those pics of Bewitched and wondering why the heck I haven't even gotten a shipping notice yet.

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    Totally in for Ray Barretto. Excellent pick there. Love that they're doing a Ray Charles album too, but that one sort of feels like a "We really want to do Ray Charles and this is the album we can get" sort of pick. I'll probably stick with it nonetheless. On the fence with Sextant as it is a...

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    I'll definitely give Riot a go. Absolutely no interest in Bone Thugs, so there's a swap I'm not sure what I'll do with. Was pretty meh on Santigold when it came out and that opinion hasn't changed, but I think that's the month Raw Power is hitting the Rock track, so easy swap there.

    Got an email saying Bonetones is now supposed to ship next week. But haven't heard updates about Yo La Tengo yet, which was supposed to ship like two weeks ago, I believe. And I feel like I haven't heard a thing about the Hadley Caliman at all so for.

    Vinyl Me, Please Rock

    Oh, probably gonna jump in for Iggy and ZZ Top for sure as I somehow don't have a copy of either of those records. Will be very interested to see how they play this track going forward too. Lots of potential here. But also a lot of potential for cringe picks.

    Now that you say it, yeah, it might be just Pam these days. She's always been super nice to me. Poor, poor Pam.

    Oh man. I don't think I've ever pitied a Customer Service team more than the poor kids working Bandbox's lines today. Remember to be nice to those cats when you're reaching out, folks.

    In a fun twist on this complicated matter - just went up on the site today.
