A dedicated Counterparts fan recently encountered a humorous mix-up while trying to purchase one of the band’s EPs on Amazon. Instead of receiving the much-anticipated music from their favorite band, they ended up with something completely unexpected. This incident has sparked both amusement and bewilderment among fans and band members alike, leading to a lively discussion on social media.
Unexpected Delivery: The Fan’s Experience Ordering the ‘Heaven Let Them Die’ Vinyl
Just last week, a Counterparts enthusiast, known on X as @letmeliveanddie, shared a comical account of their experience attempting to order the Heaven Let Them Die 2024 EP on vinyl from Amazon. What arrived at their doorstep was far from what they anticipated. “I ordered a @counterparts905 Heaven Let Them Die vinyl from Amazon and I instead received Clay Aiken’s latest Christmas album,” the fan revealed, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
However, the oddities didn’t stop there. After going through the replacement process, they humorously noted, “You’ll never guess what showed up today. The exact same Clay Aiken album.” The unexpected twist left fans both entertained and baffled, leading to further commentary on the bizarre mix-up.
In a follow-up post that tagged Counterparts‘ frontman Brendan Murphy, the fan cheekily mentioned, “Mr. President, a third Clay Aiken vinyl has hit,” adding a layer of hilarity to the ongoing saga.
Brendan Murphy’s Amused Reaction to the Vinyl Mix-Up

Fans React with Humor and Curiosity Over the Vinyl Mix-Up
The initial post and Brendan Murphy’s response triggered a flurry of humorous and curious reactions from Counterparts fans regarding the vinyl mix-up and its implications. One fan quipped, “Maybe you need to order the Clay Aiken record to get the Counterparts one?” while another speculated, “This gotta be a troll from Amazon; this is insane work.”
One enthusiastic fan even rallied the others, saying, “People! Let’s get this to 69 copies!” upon realizing that at least three Clay Aiken Christmas albums had been sent to the same individual. Another fan humorously observed that the sales of Clay Aiken’s Christmas albums were likely spiking due to this bizarre situation.
Reflecting on the mix-up, a fan noted, “It’s an easy mix-up for sure. I was listening to ‘No Lamb Was Lost’ and my wife commented, ‘I didn’t know you liked Clay Aiken’s Christmas album.’” Another fan jokingly suggested, “He needs a feature on the next album for sure. Clay Aiken x Counterparts (clownterparts, if you will), would go hard,” adding to the playful banter surrounding the incident.
