I really want to wait and hear the music in the form intended
Yet part of me remembers growing up in a rural farming town in far northern Washington and recording low quality songs off the faintest radio beacon and trading mixtapes with friends because the songs were so good despite and sometimes because they were rare, bullshit copies off the radio.
Looking forward to the album (and even the snippets whenever they release appropriately).
I just received a order confirmation from a dutch webshop for my Bad Witch cd, it says it'll be delivered today. Early release?
Oh boi if that's true leak is super soon
I missed a delivery yesterday which was (according to the card through the door) “too big to post, record size”. The only thing I’ve ordered on vinyl in the last 2 months is Bad Witch. Getting it redelivered tomorrow.Quote:

Hope it drops early. It will be frustrating if it drops on 22nd as I'll be at Meltdown, London potentially when it arrives!Quote:

Hmmm, false alert. The package tracking content was not in line with the package. Now it says June 22nd again... sorryQuote:

At the Physical World Presale? Just two songs. They were awesome.Quote:

I plan on going to Reckless Records and Rough Trade on the 22nd, the day of the show to see if I can find the CD version for sale, but even if I do... I won't exactly have any means of playing the CD on the road. I doubt the hotels in London or Paris have CD players in the rooms, hahahaha.
I might not get to hear the record until I am back home on July 2nd.
Even if it does leak, I'll probably just download it and throw it on my ipod and not listen to it until after the shows. I kinda want to hear the new songs live for the first time.
Just got my shipment notice from UPS for my BW LP with expected delivery of Wednesday June 20. Anyone else get theirs?
Just got mine too! Oh man, I hope we get our downloads by tomorrow!
Just hit my inbox as well.Quote:

I am generally curious, because there can't be THAT many people on the planet that ran out and bought record players in 2018, can there?
Are record players really becoming a major household item again? I honestly don't know anyone that has one.
Vinyl really came back in a big way over the last decade. Some may purchase as a form of collecting only, since some bands/companies do take time and effort to put together a great presentation. I got my turntable back in '08, really because of finding Year Zero on LP in a record shop and just thinking how cool that was. I really have no use for CDs, so I purchase vinyl as a way to support the band and generally those vinyl purchases include a digital copy for on the go purposes.Quote:

Interestingly, music downloads were on steady decline as well (1.3 billion in 2007; 555 million in 2017). Their numbers projected streaming and vinyl to be the main source of music in the coming years. As for me, I'm waiting until I move into my new place before buying a new record player, so, at this time, the vinyl I have is just sitting on the shelf.Quote:

From Amazon Help's Twitter: "I've confirmed on my side the audio samples are currently unavailable as well. I'm sorry for any inconvenience! I've escalated this to our internal teams for investigation."Quote:

I got one of those old Crossley 5-in-1 players years ago because I got some vinyl on a whim. It barely gets used though and after a while I noticed that most of my vinyl was never really getting anywhere near the rate of play as my cds or digital library, so I pretty much stopped buying it. My digital library expands daily and it's connected to my surround sound, plus the numerous portable devices I have makes vinyl cumbersome and essentially unnecessary.Quote:

THAT was when I realized there is a difference between mp3/CDs and vinyl. The sound is just more open and I swear to fucking Christ I can hear more stuff and hear that stuff more clearly on wax. I still buy CDs and I'll download stuff no problem, but there's something more aesthetic about vinyl.Quote:
