  1. She didn't ask me to get in touch or monitor anything. She just mentioned it and I saw the thread so I dropped in and had a look.

    Glad to see the issues resolved regardless. Anywhere I can download this? is it on iTunes?

    It's available on iTunes, might be cheaper using other download providers though. Amazon is a personal favourite of mine.

  2. It's good news that they're finally arriving. But come on Richard, you did start this thread so I think that it would be reasonable to assume that posting in it would be a direct contact to the "seller".

    That was more of a response to the somewhat pissy tone of someone who didn't even preorder the damn thing pal, not a dig at yourself! Though I would say that anyone who has got in touch via email - or even Facebook if I know them in real life - has received a very prompt reply. Various people who use this message board can testify to this.

  3. I didn't preorder, no, I was referring to "us" as in the board. I was checking out this thread because I know a coupla folk who have preordered and are having a wee bit of trouble getting hold of it is all. I'll probably just pick it up in One Up or something, when I have the time/cashmoney, not that that's really relevant.

    Also, Jan's bang on the money with the above comment. Either way, hope it gets sorted out soon for everyone's sake.

    Ah cool, got worried that orders weren't appearing... Not sure why the people you know wouldn't get in touch rather than get their friend to monitor on their behalf, though...

  4. Would have been good for someone from the band to address the thread, rather than us getting the information second hand.

    Well, normally when people have a problem with a product they've bought, they get in touch directly with the seller, to be fair... y'know?

    AND, I've just had a look and if you're who I think you are, then you didn't even preorder this?! If you did then apologies and send me a PM because there's no record, but if I'm correct then "us getting the information second hand" is a little weird...

  5. HI EVERYONE,

    Sorry, I don't really use this website anymore so didn't see this thread until now. Like Ewan said above, all orders should either be with you or on their way to you. I could go into the incredibly frustrating reasons behind the delays, but I don't want to risk raising my blood pressure in the process of doing so...

  6. Should we have received pre-orders yet? Not moaning, just wondering if it's not arrived might it have gotten lost? ?(

    Hey - all CD preorders went out last week, so it should have arrived by now/arrive tomorrow hopefully? Someone from Chicago got in touch to say theirs had arrived today so I'd hope that local orders would have been delivered!

  7. Thought might be of interest to people on here...everyday this week Amazon are offering downloads of selected albums for 1, today it's Tame Impala's album. Personally, I've never downloaded any album before with the exception of Radiohead - In Rainbows, I've always preferred the idea of owning an album and there is no way I'd ever pay 99p for a song unless it something absolutely amazing that wasnt being released physically...however I think the idea of buying an album download for 1 is pretty fair, good way to try before you buy and I've liked what I've heard so far by Tame Impala. What are people's thoughts? Would you pay full price for a download of an album?

    Yep I download music from iTunes/Amazon/emusic regularly, in addition to buying records/CDs. With CDs, nine times out of ten I just rip the disc to my computer and don't use the physical product again after that. I'm a big fan of being able to download an album legitimately straight to my phone!

    As for the downloading an album for 1, it's clearly just a short-term marketing ploy from the album's distributor/label. There's absolutely no way it could be sustainable for anyone if it became more than a 'limited special offer' for certain releases.

  8. I've only really got into Stewart Lee this year. Saw him do a three hour set introduced by Armando Iannucci at the South Bank Centre about a month ago, and it was incredible! He essentially performed the whole of the current series of 'Comedy Vehicle'. So, so good.

  9. Can't help but feel this is some sour grapes after Miami got all the players the Bulls wanted last summer so you ended up with 30 year old Boozer for $75 million as he poured in 12.5 points a game in the playoffs.

    The only thing Miami as a team have done is shown off their 3 star players in a ridiculous party thing to announce them. Lebron has done plenty to annoy the general public I agree but you can't claim Chicago wouldn't have been parading Wade if they had got him last summer as they wanted.

    I do agree that cough-gate was pretty unlikeable if that's one of the things you are refering to though. I think it was meant as a joke but was in poor taste as Dirk did amazingly well to play through his illness.

    Not sour grapes at all - had it been a Mavs/Bulls final and Mavs won, I'd have still praised them, there's no doubt that they absolutely deserve it. I genuinely detest a great deal about Miami Heat, whether it's Erik Spoelstra being a tool of the highest order, LeBron's inability to take responsibility for his own performances, or "jokes" as you pointed out (their reasoning that it was a "joke" on the "media" is bullshit, they've no humility), the oft-discussed 'The Decision' show... I could go on, but I'd rather concentrate on the Mavs' victory!

  10. He's basically a full grown baby. At the smallest sign of any controversy, or what he considers to be controversy, it's toys out the pram.

    The players arent allowed to lose their temper and flip out or bad mouth the NBA/the officials/other players (granted, some have done) so he needs to learn to control his short temper in the same way everyone else has to. He's been fined over $1m for 13 separate incidents of being a moany bastard.

    Not really "beef", I just don't like him.

    That's it?! Wow.

  11. What's your beef with Mark Cuban?

    Anyway, really really happy that the Mavericks took this. I'd have been semi-depressed if the deeply unlikeable Miami Heat (who've really shown their true colours on and off the court in this series) had won this. Dirk Nowitzki has been beyond incredible - the fact that he's IMPROVING with age really is something.
