I saw it on the Financial Times website, apparently vendors have been notified. If they have already stocked in the warehouse they will be fulfilled, otherwise it will be the supplier completing the order. This is up until April 5th

Random thought after reading this Antiquiet review.

For better or worse, Coronavirus is going to be the memory attached to Gigaton. Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot has a feeling about it that I can't divorce from 9/11 - even though all the songs were written before that date. The feelings matched on that record with current events, I hope Gigaton comes close to the mess going on currently.

I don't categorize my music autobiographically, but I do heavily weight a sense of "place and time" with any new music I listen to.

I read this as being for third-party merchants who rely on Amazon's warehouses for storing those items which carry the "Fulfilled by Amazon" designation.

All products which Amazon ships itself aren't affected (at least not yet). Could be wrong.

Looks like this is only (currently) related to the “Fulfilled by Amazon” program for 3rd party sellers

Totally get you. Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac remind me of 9/11.

I suppose for me some of the PJ albums fall under a sense of place and time.

LO2L (my introduction to PJ) - latter school years.

Binaural - finishing school.

Riot Act - college era.

Avocado - relationship with then partner (now wife) beginning.

Backspacer - traveling around Canada for 6 months.

Lighting Bolt - Reskilling, career change.

Gigaton - new family and ... COVID-19!

Fair and interesting point. I too attach albums to places and times in my life. If this album provides a memory and a sense of isolation, but finding hope in the despair, then I think that’s kind of a cool attachment.

In fairness sounds like he lost his job, so this is the only thing keeping him up.

Just in that it's a word that makes me think of a large, seismic event
