All of Drag City's catalog recently went up.

That's really good news!

Best thing to happen on April Fools Day!

End of the day it's up to the adjuster, really. Like in any industry you can get jerkasses. But they don't get any sort of reward for screwing people. Claims any more is pretty highly data-driven in terms of how they pay. Companies don't lean on minimizing loss on claims (that's what reinsurance is for) so much as managing money more at the policy level.

If it were just a simple fender bender, then no lawyer is needed. This sounds complex and calls for an expert that knows all you are entitled to and can make sure the settlement is in your best interest. The lawyer will take a portion of the settlement but it is worth it not having to figure it all out for yourself.

It's an auto claim with injury. I assure you, this isn't complex. This is take-the-bill-write-the-check simple in terms of prop/casualty claims, particularly if the insured has already assumed fault. If this stuff goes beyond a desk rep except to get a check signed I'd be surprised (SF low-level adjusters only have a $15k auth, more than that, which it certainly is, takes a second signature).

I only allow sales to buyers with a minimum buyer rating of 99%. This means people below this number have to message me and make their case as to why I should sell to them. Of course, I just sell to get rid of stuff I don't listen to; it's not a business.

I let anyone buy from me. Saves me a ton of time probably, since majority are below 100% and save for a handful of non-paying buyers, I’ve had no issues.

I don't sell enough to invite potential headaches. However, every person who messaged me to ask if they could buy from me and explained their rating did end up buying from me as I temporarily lowered my rating.

Yeah the Polka take is really fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUt6pWgm3DQ

I'd love to add the P5 one as well. Did you get the digital download for Gold/Silver? That was the last I got anything on it. iAm8Bit is the slowest when it comes to preorders.

I did! You actually just reminded me about that hahaha. I think was planning on waiting to listening until I actually got the vinyl in, but I totally forgot about the download. And I mean at this point...

Might as well, I listened to it back when they released it, and it is fantastic. I actually like it more than Hero of Time.

I am going to buy this so fast. Lonely Rolling Star on REPEAT

Katamari is now KataMINE

They believe each of the albums they pick is essential in some way, and I respect that, even if the pick gets more hate than it deserves, or it is easy to find.

I guess the thing that is kind of surprising me so much is that VMP introduced the swapping thing for situations just like this, and yet, people are still so angry. Angry because they "have" to swap for another month. Shouldn't folks be glad they have that option now? The stream of announcements of what folks are swapping for is kind of strange to me too, but, to each their own.

I've swapped a couple of times myself. I personally love the program, each time I was able to pick up an exclusive I was on the fence about, and ended up liking it way more than I would have the AOTM for that month.

No. Potential buyers get one shot to make their best offer.

I've had some success sending the seller a PM offer first as opposed to making an official initial offer. Many will accept or counter with "Offer me $X and I'll take it." That way you've still got your one and only offer to submit.

It's 23 bucks to ship a single LP via USPS. If you're careful, you can get a 2lp shipped for the same price, but if it goes over a certain weight, it's another 10 bucks

Over 2lbs and then it skyrockets to $55 at 3 lbs

Yeah, that's the lowest rate I found. USPS should bump the large envelope size to 13" wide and 1" thick, then I could just throw the mailer in an envelope and ship for half the price.

Girl power!

This also confirms my superpower of being able to ask "When's [band] going to put out a new album?" and having said band announce one in the very near future. Asked this question Tuesday with P.C. and last week with S.O.

Also Courtney Barnett and Lucy Dacus.

The new Speedy Ortiz is up for preorder already

At the same time, Cute Thing's lyrics sync up and has a bonus bit near the beginning: "Give me Dan Bejars's voice. And John Entwhistle's stage presence." Gave me a chuckle.

As someone put it best in the YT comments: “holy shit I just found something I didn’t know I was looking for”

Hell yeah :D
