I got mine in the mail Saturday. I think he is starting to ship stuff out now. They look pretty fucking awesome - mines a neat marbled dark blue!

Hooray! Hopefully I might see mine before the weekend.

Is it worth the wait? I bet it's crap, isn't it...

sheesh! finally.

still haven't gotten mine :-(

Me neither.

Any sign of your copy yet, Mr holla-ing?

nope. I'm wondering where the hell it is. I think I'm just gonna give up and get paypal to get my money back. I've emailed dude twice and never received a reply. Fuck that corny shit.

Hey val-holla-ing,
I just received my personal copies in the mail from Ortmann today. Turned out slick. I think he has sent everything out at this point & it should be on it's way. I would hold out as NIHILIST is a stand up guy that has always come through for me... but if you or anyone does decide to cancel the order or has not picked it up yet I will have copies available through http://www.blossomingnoise.com ... These will ship out right away with delivery confirmation etc & should be posted in the mail-order by tomorrow (07/06/07).

XoXo,
GM

thanks. i've never ordered from nihilist before this, but i ordered the merzbow turmeric lunchbox/cd set from you and it came top notch, so if everything doesn't work with mr. ortmann, i may have to check you out.

Thanks from me too. I'll give Nihilist the benefit of the doubt for a couple more weeks (I'll hope that the guy who runs it has been too busy getting the records made to deal with correspondence).

Val-holla-ing: Seeing as you're in the same country as the records are being sent from, it's reasonable to expect you'll get yours a good few days before I get mine. Could you post in here when you get it (assuming that you do) please?

of course as soon as it gets here, i'll let you know.

I give up. Time to order through Blossoming Noise instead and try to get the money back that I paid to Nihilist through Paypal. :(

For those who had the sense to not send Nihilist money in order to get nothing in return, but who are still interested in hearing what Thurston recorded for them, you can listen at Nihilist's myspace.

And if you wish to leave abusive messages for Mr Ortmann while you're there, I'm not going to try to stop you.

Dear customers,
you are all acting like children. I think it's funny when you talk shit about people on "fan message boards"...
Please send me an e-mail (as I've not received any of the e-mails that have been previously mentioned) if you are owed a MOORE LP. I have something special to throw in. They are also sold out now, FYI. If you want a refund, I have no problem with that either.

maybe something's up with the email address you have on the site, but i definitely emailed you.

oh, and i just emailed you again.

and no one's acting like a kid. we're just kinda upset that we never got something that we paid for, which is, uh, kinda fucked up.

I see nothing childish about being pissed off that I've given someone $26 and got nothing in return.

As my emails aren't getting through to you, I've PM'd copies of them to you.

Both my copies arrived last Thursday here in Dublin, Ireland. Hopefully you guys can sort something out. Andy - the packaging is great, and the blue marble vinyl looks sweet.

The copy I ordered from Blossoming Noise (having given up on Nihilist) has turned up safe and well. Three cheers for Blossoming Noise!

And, seeing as email to ortmann(at)nihilstrecords(dot)net doesn't seem to reach Nihilist, I've resorted to good ol' stone age snail mail to try to contact them to get back the pre-order money that I sent.

I guess there's a moral to this story, and I guess that moral is to always establish e-mail contact with a label before sending any money. Trusting that the email address on the website will work isn't necessarily a good idea.

The moral is that you should stop looking into the threads I open (first the original silence one now this). :)
