Yes, i am old fashioned and have waited until the CD is out in the shops before going and buying it. i'm tempted to say i won't sleep until i own a copy. i feel like i should be camped outside Resident or something. i've not been this exuberant about an album's release for too long a time.

Lets camp outside resident!

I might buy it tommorow, i loved the downlaoded one I obtained so much I shall keep to my promise and pur-chase it


Let's Camp(esinos!)

i'm hoping i'll be able to get to a record shop sometime tomorrow.


srsly though

today feels like an 'event'. You know? No album release has felt like that to me in a long time, and not for lack of good music around.


I'm American

and it comes out sometime in April over here. But I did find it for about $15, so I should have it soon! I'm forcing myself to waiting until I get the cd to hear it.


How on earth is this an 'event'?

Are they selling it via an honesty box in which you can deposit as many soiled ATP ticket stubs and glitter as you like?


Anyone know

what makes the limited edition different from the regular CD?


digipack

i think.


its not in a cd case

its like a fold out thingy, its rather ace


I was really looking forward to it.

But the two interviews (on here and at the Guardian) have put me off the band to a considerable degree.

I may well still buy it but I don't know whether I'll be able to enjoy something I previously enjoyed as "pure" joyous pop music celebrating the love of being alive in quite the same way as I would've before...


^ Buy it

I'm not too sure that I'd get on with Gareth as a person, but that hasn't stopped me loving this record. Hopefully it will be at my door when I get back from Eels tonight!


really?

If anything i'd say it made me like them more.


Is this coming out on fancy gatefold vinyl?

Or did i make that up...?


it is


I ordered mine off

Play.com it was posted on Saturday but it's not arrived at work yet...
I am excited but not as excited as my new phone arriving at work today


What was bizarre about that though

was that El Guincho got 8.3 and got on Best New Music, but Los Campesinos got 8.4, and didn't. And also the one which didn't isn't a massive rip-off of Panda Bear. Hmmmm...

Usually I'd just accept something like that as a difference of opinion, but then there's the LOLsome last line.


well, there's difference of opinion

and then there's mental retardation. it's a fine line.


Possibly.

But that was difference of opinion.


it's debatable.

i say: mental retardation! yeah!


Do you think

that banner advert is specifically targeted at us at all?


i've been waiting, too

have to wait a bit longer though; it doesn't come out here until April.


mine came

on saturday i listened to it all day sat and sunday...it makes me very happy i was so excited to get it!


^ this too

i'm going to buy it though, since i've waited so long.


me too

i think i ate enough today to last me the rest of the week so maybe i'll buy the album tmrw


I'm going to buy it on the way home

And then not get a chance to listen to it for ages :(


I'm about to pop out

and get my copy now.This is definetly an event. I might get a sandwich for the bus journey home too.How wacky am I?


Hmm

Is the vinyl better than the special ed CD? I can't decide between the two. Vinyl I'll have to order whereas CD I can get today.
