frig frig frig! ARGH! GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I waited all friging day for the ups to come, the package status said "out for delivery" since this morning. Then after hours of waiting, I saw the ups truck drive past my house!!!!!!!!!! I even got in my car and tried to follow it, but I lost him. When I got back home the tracking had updated to "Exception: Incorrect Address". I double checked my amazon order, it had the right address, my house is right on the corner, and has a big red address post. It wasn't even dark out. The dude just missed my friging house, and didn't even bother to check what was up.
So I call in to amazon, and they transfer me to ups, and they transfer me to my local distribution center, which is like 45 minutes away. The lady said I can come and pick up the package tonight, in about 2 hours, once the truck gets back. I have to wait for her to call me, and then drive out there. I am absolutely crossing my fingers that I can pull this off, It's not so bad driving out there, but I am really anxious. If I can't get it today I will be so heartbroken.

GUYS. I am so upset right now.
I feel for ya.
After hours of reading "Out for Delivery" I got the "Exception" too.
Mine, it turns out, never made it on to the truck after all. Unfortunately, my UPS depot is 60 miles away, so I have to wait for tomorrow.
Since Friday, I've been refreshing the "open orders" page on Amazon waiting for "not yet shipped" to turn into "shipping soon," which it finally did last night at 8:45. Then I tracked it on UPS all the way to my door, and then...
"Exception".

Now my UPS status says "EXCEPTION"
"The package was missed at the UPS facility, UPS will deliver on the next business day. "

I'm having my box set delivered to me at work. UPS says it's on the truck out for delivery. I just saw the UPS truck stop here, so a few minutes later I went down to receiving.
NOTHING.
Someone said that the driver said he was supposed to have one more box for us somewhere on the truck, but couldn't find it.
He'll stop back later if he comes across it... Angry

yes, i'm sure it will turn up somewhere on the box... possibly as part of My Only Sunshine.

still, i think the "tape explosion" and the fade were essential parts of H&V, at least at one time.

And the whistling before the tape explosion.

But I really don't think there's any question that a version of the Cantina fade will be the end of Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine, with the "sun" vocals on top.  The 1:57 listed for that track is exactly the length of OMP/YAMS with the fade.

The tape explosion could well be part of Great Shape, though the time for that track is awfully short

I'm pretty sure the "I'm In Great Shape" feedback reverb will be there (the original only ran through the verse melody once before the feedback begins so it should fit), but I don't see the "Heroes..." tape explosion working it's way in there - that wouldn't make any sense!

The tape explosion would be an interesting way to end side one of the H&V single. Your cue to flip the record over and continue on with part 2.
