Looks like it'll be available on Amazon Canada. The only way I'll get this is on Ebay. Bastards....

I don't get it, it's not like there's nowhere to buy records here.

Well, me being the dork I am for vinyl, put in a preorder from the Amazon Canada site for it. It's going to cost me about $30, it's $18 for the disc and the rest for shipping, but I know I'll have one.
Maybe I can sell my Girl Panic vinyl to help finance it.

Oh, that sucks having to sell one for another. I hope it doesn't come to that.

The Girl Panic vinyl I"m not really all that fond of. If I would have known what the cover looked like before I bought it, I wouldn't have gotten it. Completely nonsense to have an exposed woman's nipple on the cover of a record.

If by nonsense you mean desperation, I agree.

That's why I'm not so in love with it that I feel I need to keep it.

Why do I find myself wondering about the decision-making process for that cover? Sorry, but Nick and Ronson don't seem like nipple guys to me. Simon - oh hell yes. Nigel and Roger... hmmm... Don't know.

I think - no I KNOW that they need a fresh input for their decisions. I'll do it. I'll sign off on the best art and videos and the album itself, for a mere $250,000. That's a good deal, a bargain, for all the shit and pork pies and nipples I'll have to wade through.

I am so sick of them using sexuality, it's not hip, it's not cool, it's OVER used and OVER rated.

If the message is strong enough they shouldn't have to rely on sex to sell it. "The Chauffeur" was great, it was art. There's a big difference between art and gratuitousness for the sexually repressed buyers.
Kids these days, if that's the market they want, aren't repressed. They know more that I did back then. Using titties as a sales tool would backfire in a big way. And most of the 40-something menopausal crowd isn't into that either.

I don't know, I've seen plenty of Duranies who think that stupid Girl Panic video is awesome, and they are women!
It's a sad state to see DD sink to such a low level to get attention.

Pay no attention to them. They're the same ones that thought RCM was awesome. To them everything the band members do is awesome. DD could become serial killers and eat live babies and those tardwads would think it's awesome. I am alternately amused and appalled by their "intellectual" statements on how great the band's debacles are. I'm talking about the kind of pure genius where professional musicians and recording engineers will go into minute, precise detail of exactly what's good or bad about something, and these brainless bimbos jump in with something like. "Well, taste is subjective, just because you don't like it, that doesn't mean it's bad. I LIKE it and so do most people -" even though most don't - "You know we're lucky that the band treats us to an album and a tour every three or four years." (Because they can afford to retire? )
