Guest Speed Racer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 9 effing dollars for shipping? Wilco may love you, but Kung Fu is full of sh*t. Ha! My reaction, too. But 2-3 days is better than Musictoday's carrier pigeon whimsy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gueringray Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ha! My reaction, too. But 2-3 days is better than Musictoday's carrier pigeon whimsy. Indeed. Hopefully 2-3 days doesn't mean 2-3 days from whenever we bother to get it in the mail (a la Musictoday...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Indeed. Hopefully 2-3 days doesn't mean 2-3 days from whenever we bother to get it in the mail (a la Musictoday...) My imaging of MT's warehouse has a stockboy saddling up a blind dog with the packages, and the dog wandering through the warehouse looking for the USPS truck...

rhino4evr Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 My imaging of MT's warehouse has a stockboy saddling up a blind dog with the packages, and the dog wandering through the warehouse looking for the USPS truck... so many people have had bad experiences with MT, but they have always shipped my product so that it arrives before the release date. I had no idea people had so many problems with them until I came on this board. Kind of sad they are gone actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jrh79 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I hope the vinyl is a cool gatefold kind of thing... I usually associate that with 2LP's though. Anyone heard anything on that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicburto Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Interesting that Side 1 ends with You Never Know - I kinda thought that would be a good start to Side 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Weekly drawing! Everyone who pre-orders is automatically entered. Look like fun prizes! I hope the vinyl is a cool gatefold kind of thing... I usually associate that with 2LP's though. Anyone heard anything on that? Website says it 'boasts a gatefold.'

Guest Jules Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 We should all put our VC names on the backs of our shirts. Can I have everybody's extra letters? I don't think I have an iron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I don't think I have an iron. That would be a hell of a way to introduce yourself to your neighbors: "OMG OMG OMG OMG I JUST GOT MY WILCO PRE-ORDER OMG OMG OMG DO YOU HAVE AN IRON FOR ME IRON-ON WILCO (THE SHIRT)?!?!!? OMG OMG OMG" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 One of the weekly drawing prizes:* an official major league baseball signed by the Wilco crew I really hope they literally just mean the Wilco crew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 So, I think I'm just gonna go for the LP/CD combo, and hold off on a nice tour shirt in July, but that $9 shipping from Kung Fu is a bit of a turnoff. I can get the LP/CD from Nonesuch for $19, with $2 shipping. But these contest prizes seem desirable to me. What to do, what to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
othersongs Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm going to wait till Insound has a preorder up. Either way, I'll get the real disc in stores on the day of. Nonesuch doesn't ship to Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco75 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm stumped about which to order as well, all the deals look good, but the most expensive one is the deal i'd really like to have except for the tote, i have the sky blue sky tote but never really use it.(in public anyway lol) i can see using it for a book bag etc. but for carrying children? a fetus maybe but not a full grown child lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 One of the weekly drawing prizes:* an official major league baseball signed by the Wilco crew I really hope they literally just mean the Wilco crew. I would love to get the home answering machine one! As if my friends need any more of a reason to think I am Wilco-crazy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Almost no one I see daily has ever been with me for a Wilco album release, and I'm pretty sure a few of my co-workers are a day or two away from bringing a straight-jacket to the office. On the other hand, another co-worker took off last Friday and this Monday on a Star Trek bender... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
isadorah Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 so i'm completely torn. when sky blue sky came out, i did the whole preorder thing from the website only to find out a few weeks later that there was a cd w/a dvd that couldn't be had by purchasing the vinyl only to find out after that buying from a record store got you the cd with bonus songs. i now own 2 versions of sky blue sky because i wanted the dvd and the bonus cd and the vinyl. part of me really wants to preorder from wilco world, but part of me is waiting for a repeat of the sky blue sky oh and by the way thing to happen. *sigh* also, i am guessing someone is a fan of Wait, Wait don't tell. as the home answering machine bit is a prize from that show, but only with Carl Castle (a chicago based NPR show for those that haven't discovered its awesomeness!)
