Scott,
So you burned all your N.O.? Amazing. What about all that talk about amazing artwork on the 80's thread?

I for one defintely want to purchase one, but the frickin servers aren't responding... quite annoying.

I've still got all my New Order vinyl but that's it. I don't own anything else from any other artist.

[crank]

HAH!
I knew it!

no Prince vinyl?

[dubman]

oh, well, hello.

it's coming out on regular boring old cd too early next year.
now to find a way to nab the bonus disc...

So I probably won't be purchasing the hard copy but it definitely looks neeto.

The thing is I will actually miss record labels too if they go away, not the big corporate ones obviously but all those labels out there that specialize and promote a certain kind of music, those labels that have an agenda. There are still labels out there that when they release something it is recommendation for me and I usually feel I have to give it a listen at least. Eventually all labels of this kind go to shit but new ones appear...

In any case I like the people that do this stuff and the work that goes behind it, and I find that it is a better way to discover music than a soulseek group or something where there is so much garbage...

Not really feeling the album title "In Rainbows". Sounds like trying too hard to be lighthearted after the last 2-3 albums, wherein Radiohead were in danger of disappearing up their own, well, where there's no sunshine for rainbows.

What if its all a big hack/hoax/whatever and you end up with a package of dead pigeons in december.

That'd be weak.

Anyone recieved their download code yet?

I know this round is free, but I'm jonesin'.

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

ooops.

Sometimes I don't know what day of the week it is either.

So far this is, in my opinion, the best thing they've done since 'O.K. Computer'. I'm not saying it's in the same universe as that record but the beautiful stripped down melodies on this one are pretty special.
