I joined here back in April of this year, and since that time, increasingly, I receive occasional emails that surprise me with their alerts of an album being shipped that I have absolutely no recollection of ordering, sometimes even from vendors I would swear I've never heard of. Today it was from Target (okay, I recognize that one) with a shipping notice for Alex the Astronaut - The Theory of Absolutely Nothing. Fortunately there's an image of the album cover within the email, and I sort of remember that...
Anyway, by no means am I complaining. It's almost like belonging to a record club that sends a surprise pick each month (or week!) and I look forward to checking it out to see whether I had my head on straight when I ordered the blasted thing. So I thought it might be fun to create a thread for posting these surprises, either shipping notifications or deliveries of records you either don't remember at all, or had completely forgotten you'd ordered. For me, this is a distinctly N&G experience.

. Today I received an album I have absolutely no recollection of ever seeing/hearing about, let alone ordering. Yet here it is, from Canada!, and, well, great! This is the best record club I've ever not belonged to because the curator knows his shit and always does his best to choose something I'll like LOL. Looking forward to a listen.
