Posting personal correspondence seems kind of rude.
Not sending stuff out/being unprofessional is rude as fuck too. Sent that guy morsels from the Netherlands and he said he'd trade me stuff and instead when I got to Sundsvall I basically had to buy stuff and he had forgotten about.
I was thinking on this recently and I feel like in this day and age this is the best way to get no one to give a fuck about what you're doing, but I guess thats the whole vibe? Dude comes from an older time when this type of behavior/business practices were worshipped/respected/made people want to search it out desperately but in 2022 it seems kind of lame and really sucks the wind out of whatever he's doing (for me at least).
This reminds me of when I was supposed to pick up Alfarmania merch for a friend when I played with them at MAPS in NYC. Two times I went up to talk to them to try and buy merch from them and I'll never forget Kristian mumbling something after I asked the second time and he just walked away. After that I gave up because why would I give a fuck? I'm not gonna beg and plead anyone to get their shit, period.
And sure all the old school purists/fwends who get their releases hand delivered will go on and on about how "it will all happen eventually" but frankly it just doesn't add up.
I want to make clear that I don't have an issue with Kristian, just adding to the convo.
