All albums should come with a release date and a le4k date. Just to save me the trouble of looking for this once a week...
― avonhun, Friday, 13 July 2007 19:19 (5 years ago) Permalink
Wikipedia entries on recent albums tend to be really specific about what date it leaked to the internet, so there's that.
It's kinda depressing that Blaq Starr reportedly produced a song on this record, dude is a genius and deserves better.

Deserves better than being on one of the most anticipated records of the year? Yeah, he got a raw deal on that one.
― Gavin, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:16 (5 years ago) Permalink
Deserves better artistically, I'm just saying in my own subjective opinion, not that working on a major label album won't be good for his career.
― Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:21 (5 years ago) Permalink
Curious, have you heard the song yet? I love "Git My Gun" so much.

"one of the most anticipated records of the year"?

It's all Diplo's fault.

I can't actually think of another record I was anticipating this year except for Justice.

I mean, why wouldn't it be?
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 17:46 (5 years ago) Permalink
Because her first album sold approximately 14 copies (including the two I bought)?
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:02 (5 years ago) Permalink
if people don't care too much for her or her new cd, then why is kala being guarded so badly? no leaks to speak of, huh?
― forgetwhatyouknew, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:04 (5 years ago) Permalink
Because the only people who care are Internet music nerds like us?
THIS ISN'T VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT, PPL
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:07 (5 years ago) Permalink
I posted this on another thread but the current soundscan numbers for the first album are about 130K units in the US alone.
Also, internet music nerds are the new majority.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:11 (5 years ago) Permalink
i've searched everywhere i can think of, and re-searched every day, quite diligently, and nothing. i know someone with a copy, but he's separated from his computer at the moment. but that means others have it.
anyone willing to share?
― forgetwhatyouknew, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:12 (5 years ago) Permalink
Two iterations of the same album combined for a total of less than .04% of the potential market over the course of two years.
I am not scoffing at her album sales; that is better than anything I will ever do. However, have some sense of perspective here; her audience is narrow.
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
Dan, I think it's a pretty highly anticipated release. I don't think anyone on this board thinks we have to talk about Three Tenors numbers to say something is highly anticipated.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:38 (5 years ago) Permalink
My only point is that it's highly-anticipated by a comparatively small number of people, therefore I think the claim that it's one of the most hilghly-anticpated releases of the year FULL STOP is even more hyperbolic than ILM usually gets.
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:41 (5 years ago) Permalink
Eh, I think music nerds are some of the few people that actually anticipate releases *at all*.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:43 (5 years ago) Permalink
The fact this discussion has even occurred speaks to it being anticipated, dudes.

"ffs" = classic DP
130K is a very, very good sales number for any debut artist, let alone one on an indie, let alone one pimping baile.
With Timbaland and Interscope involved, this album pretty much fits the category of "hotly anticipated" in a way that goes beyond your typical BLOGGERZ WITH BONERZ HYPE BONANZA.
― Dandy Don Weiner, Monday, 16 July 2007 19:36 (5 years ago) Permalink
I mean, the bar has been lowered a great deal to the point where every fuggin niche in the world gets to hand out "highly anticipated" cards.

I for one am highly anticpating DP's world tour stop in the ATL so I can throw flowers on stage.

Kala's leak anticipation is boring. When's her next album going to leak?
― StanM, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 12:32 (5 years ago) Permalink
this isnt fun, hearing about a supposed leak but seeing no signs of the actual leakage. i dont think its leaked at all. its all a big ruse. maybe this is the new thing. phantom leakage.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 12:37 (5 years ago) Permalink
In Finnish "kala" translates to "a fish". "Kala" is also the name of the female ape who raises Tarzan in the original Tarzan novels. I wonder which one Mia is referring to?

KALA's her mum's name. ARULAR is her dad's name. Tru-pop-fax.
