I don't know why I just don't trust my instinct on these sort of things.
Wilco released a 4LP vinyl box set a couple months ago. I pre-ordered it through CCMusic.com because they had a 25% off coupon code/sale going on so I would have gotten it really cheap. Originally I was going to buy it through the official pre-sale but the Wilco Store shipping is always high and I figured I wouldn't need the shirt that was included.
Release date passes by (in November) and I get no updates on it. I ask for help and am told it's shipping soon but backordered. Then after a couple of weeks I'm told it's discontinued and won't be put back in stock. They refund me the money but at that point it's way less than what Wilco is charging for it and I can't get it right at that time.
Cut to today with me going to the Wilco store to buy it and seeing it's sold out. Didn't realize it would be limited edition and now most of the stuff being sold online is for upwards of $200.
I was able to find one less than that on Discogs.com but it's still probably double what I was going to pay through CCMusic.com. I knew I shouldn't have risked it and just got the official store pre-order. Now I'm kicking myself.
Damn material possessions!
That really sucks.
It's just annoying. I usually go with my gut but every now and then I try a shortcut or something like this where I'm not totally confident it'll work out (I thought CCMusic sale seemed too good to be true and had never bought from them before) and it usually does have some complications. It's just music but if I knew it was going to be limited I would have gotten it right after the CCMusic order was cancelled. Not sure how I missed that part of it.

I hate when you don't listen to your instincts and it blows up in your face. I try to always listen to my gut too, but it isn' always possible, plus with the tease of a better deal playing havoc with the brain... really does suck. I love the justification that "it's just music," even though we are all music addicts here. It is never just music! And it's shitty you didn't get it.

That sucks Sean!
How long did it take to get your refund? Then think how many people did the same thing. How much interest did cc earn on all that moolah? Its a scam I tell ya!
I had the same thing happen with a limited edition dvd set a few years back.
So, my phone is dying. It's been going out for awhile. It dies at 80% battery life. Today it's bit the dust. I've had to scrap up money in the form of loans from family and friends and I'll be going after work to buy a new one. I was hoping it could hold on until my tax refund money came in, but that isn't happening.

It took a while because first it was a pre-order which was fine. Then it was about a week or so after the release date when I noticed it didn't change to "Shipped" or "Processed". Then I was told it was just backordered and should wait. Then about two or three weeks after that I contacted them for the third or fourth time asking what's up and they told me it was discontinued and I'd get a refund.
I ordered the box set from discogs but paid more than I should have (both because of the inflated price and because I shouldn't be spending money on stuff like that right now).

treat yo self 2015.
seriously though, a big pain in the ass. but look at it this way - you're going to love that you have that record set years and years from now. and by then your current financial situation won't mean squat.
actually, you should just put that money toward bonnaroo....
I'm currently watching the NFC Championship with a group of people. None of them really know much of anything about football, and I have already heard the n-word a number of times.
The Patriots bandwagon is out in full force. No wonder everyone hates New England fans.
Do Roo. You will find others to hang with and make friends. Plus, all of us will be there.
EDIT: Side note, sorry your friends have bailed on you. That does suck.
Nobody has bought a ticket yet, so I guess nobody bailed. But yes, it does suck. You never know about the guy that has his brothers bachelor party to go to. He's traveled over-seas I think three years in a row now.
A lot will depend on my buddy that is graduating in May. Not only have we been to both Roo's together, but Forecastle and Lockn as well. Although he will want to do what the group does...he is a lot closer to Bonnaroo than the rest. He's the only one that has been three years in a row. I know if he goes to Roo he will want to stay Sunday for Billy Joel, even though I like the idea of getting a head start home Sunday...I could live with it.
Tell Blakey Poo to do Roo. Don't ask him, just put your foot down and tell him that's what you guys are doing.

Hahaha I think were out for Roo. Asher (I don't know if you have met him? He was with Blake at last years Bonnaroo) can't go to Roo because of a family thing. We then planned for Hangout but Blake graduates that weekend. Now it looks like Firefly. Asher goes to UVA, and its only like 3.5 hours from his fraternity house. I think we have 5 planning to go, you should do that with us.
I'm also in for Shaky Knees, but I could be doing it alone.

BOOOOOOOOOOO! No, I didn't meet Asher. I do have Firefly weekend off work though, so I guess if macca is there if consider it. But with it so close to roo I gotta do some serious saving. And you won't be alone for Shaky Knees! I'll def meet up with you!! Depending on what people do could split a room too. But I think everyone is waiting on taxes at this point so I'll let you know about that.
I had someone die on the phone with me at work tonight. That kinda sucks. He drowned in a car that he somehow ran into the pond in his apt complex. (He was drunk and he was just involved in an argument with his dad before this happened.) Crazy to think that I'm the last voice he heard before he drowned.. Crazy shit. Good news is my trainee got to hear a serious call and she's sticking it out.

Also, sorry to hear that bansheebeat. That sucks. 16 is way too young. Good vibes being sent across the world to you.
i can't even imagine. Hugs to you. Do you get any kind of support or counseling when this happens?
Yea, they have a thang called, EAP, employee assistance program. I'm not sure if anyone has ever actually used it though so I'm not sure what exactly it is or how it works. Like if they come to us at work or if they set up an appointment off site or something.
It hasn't been too bad though. It was bad the first few days because it was fresh and the story was still on the news. But honestly, it sounds morbid, but it doesn't bother me because that's my job. I halfway expect stuff like this to happen everyday I walk through the door. Last night I had a lady who's baby wasn't breathing, a rollover accident with an entrapment, and a DOA (more than likely from natural causes). What pissed me off more than anything was they played my call on the news where you could hear the water in the background. What an inappropriate thing to do for that person's family.
Anyways, I'm actually ok with it. He called a few times, and the other girl he talked to isn't doing so good. I can tell because she always finds ways to bring it up and she said she even went and looked up is obituary. Which is odd to me. Why make it worse on yourself?

I got excited last night when the Foo Fighters FB pretty much said they was adding a second show in Camden, I was assuming it would be the day after the original show....instead it is a week after the original show.
I guess if I really want go I can get lawn seats off stubhub for the first show.
OK, at the rate I am going, I am going to need one of the One Big Holiday people to pack me in their suitcase and take me to Mexico, because I think I need to run away and I figure the beach is the best place for me. Because after my 2 hour physical therapy session last night, my physical therapist is convinced I have meniscus tears in both knees and possible ACL tears as well. In both knees. I am literally falling apart.

the headphones I keep at work broke yesterday. they only play music from the right channel, which is obnoxious and dizzying. So I have been using paltry ipod earbuds the past two days. their obnoxiously short wire and impotent sound has led to a rather dismal listening experience.
anyone have suggestions for some cheap-ish (<$50) on-ear phones that don't sound like shiz?

Sending positive thoughts your way. A torn meniscus doesn't always require surgery. I tore one in my right knee a few years ago and one in my left knee a month and a half ago and I haven't needed surgery yet.
The ACL tear concern is surprising. There are manual tests that can be done, a Dr. should be pretty confident in the MRI results even before you go in. It's pretty easy to tell if an ACL has been torn.
Haven't had MRI done on knees in ages. Had three done on my back over the past six years, so we've just been concentrating on lately. I have had knee issues my entire life, since I was six and my dad put me in a figure four leg lock (playing, of course!) and broke three bones in my knee/leg, including the growth plate. Then I broke the other knee roller skating three years later. Good times!
The plan after doctor's appt last month was to have my current physical therapist start working on the knees as well, and go back in March for MRI and surgery scheduling (scope & clean was the current course of action), but after last night's evaluation, I may need to go in a little sooner.

I did not get an... wait. You meant headphones. Yeah, I got some headphones. snowmanomura, I got these off Amazon. They're currently on sale for $20 which is a good deal. bacon is the one who recommended them to me. He's been using a pair for work for a good amount of time now.

I was actually going to write originally, where would his head live, but I am a perv and I thought it was too much. I need proof that we are wrong, but am way too lazy to go find it. I know that I have read dirty, dirty things in your posts before.

I have a pair of these at work and they're awesome. Easy to use AM/FM radio and a jack to insert an audio chord to listen to podcasts or music on your phone. Definately worth the couple bucks. Wal-Mart has them for $35 sometimes, other places they're $70. 10/10 tho

I second the Sennheiser recommendation. I have these, which are one step up from the 201s. They're the best sound quality you'll find at that price, plus they have a 10ft cord and a clip to store the excess cord.
Gessafelstein is coming to NYC on a MFing Wednesday night. And of course he's not going to take the stage until like 1:00-2:00 a.m. What a friggin cocktease. What kind of people manage to make it to these kinds of shows in the middle of the week? I don't understand.
