Nachtmystium

Can't wait until good streaming music services emerge. Looking at you, iTunes, for 2011.

Can't wait to "tickle" my local Best Buy.

You shouldn't be buying music from Best Buy.

If that's all around, though. . . .

You shouldn't be buying music from Best Buy.

Dude I'm kidding! Fuck Best Buy.

ilxor, do u have a good indie store in your town?
cuz my man will sometimes sell me stuff in advance of the release date as long as i keep quiet

I used to buy shit at Best Buy all the time. They had a version of the High On Fire album with three extra tracks for $7.99! I'm supposed to pass that up for what, indie cred? Blow me.

lol!

Yep, I frequent Waterloo Records, also End of an Ear and Cheapo Discs every so often as well. There are others but those are my main three haunts. Keeps me busy enough. I've gotten stuff ahead of release date, too -- it's fun!

RISE UP! RISE UP TONIGHT!!!

I'll buy the occasional CD at a big-box retailer as well, but only if the difference between indie and big-box prices is waaaaaaaayy significant (e.g., last year, Rihanna Rated R, $9.99 big-box retailers, $15.99 to $18.99 indie shops). Indies don't seem to discount the huge major-label releases as often... I think this happened with The-Dream Love vs. Money as well.

Phil, which HoF release was this?? The latest?

extra tracks aren't usually any good anyway

Anyway, I won't pinch pennies if the difference is a buck or two (which, 95% of the time, is all it is).

was the lastest HoF, snakes for the divine. and i don't care if the bonus tracks are lame, i still want them. they are pokemans.

if you don't buy your metal records from indie retailers, they'll send Matt Pike to your house to knock your teeth out with a frost hammer!!

Doubtful, considering Pike put his John Hancock on the exclusive tracks contract w/ Best Buy...

hope you have good dental care, you can't reason yourself out of this one dogg

What if I already bought the indie version and re-purchase at BB for the extra trax?

Then Pike will be sitting at your kitchen table when you wake up tomorrow laughing at you and eating all your Cheerios.

I dunno what best buy is, but jeff got me the hof from there. $7.99 + 3 extra tracks!

Huge consumer electronics chain store in the US.

But $7.99 + 3 extra tracks!

Why has nobody been flipping out over the title track? It has been stuck in my head for the last two months at least. "Make me see / like before / all I want / is more!"

Best Buy lives up to its name, I suppose, fwiw.

ATTN JVC:
reckless on milwaukee has it! i went in there and they gave me the same "yeah so we're kinda embarrassed about this but no we don't have it atm" rigamarole and then i gave them my name/number and they said they would call me when it's in and then they called me like 15 min later. i went back and got it.

so far i like it but i'm looking forward to seeing how they handle the electronics live. i would actually welcome a stripped down/sped up mix of some of these songs.

Thanks for the follow-up! I'll see if I can squeeze a trip down there sometime this week, unfortunately I'm working 4-12 tonight and got an all day study session tomorrow.

From the interviews I read circa Assassins, it sounds like the Nachtmystium live experience is basically the album songs sped up, stripped down and a bit more "black metal" leaning. Less electronics, definitely. So I think we're in for a pleasant surprise.

xp

Yeah, when I saw them with Torche and Boris after Assassins came out, that was pretty much the case.

From what I understand they dont do any of the electronic stuff live, its just more BM versions.
xps

yeah, i've seen them like 4x maybe? they're always totally raw and on it, so i have high hopes for the upcoming show, even if it is TWENTY DOLLARS.

ps jvc i was at that show too, it was awesome.

Title track is the high point for me. Sadly, the rest isn't.

even if it is TWENTY DOLLARS.

HOW DARE A BAND CHARGE TWENTY DOLLARS FOR A CONCERT!!!! WHAT AN OUTRAGE

oh i know, i'm just used to the $12-$15 range. it's not a huge deal, i'll still go.

i just realized that blake judd is jake blood if you spoonerize it

No worries, I say this as someone who just spent $90 a ticket to see Taylor Swift along with 19,000 other people.

How many people will go to see both Taylor Swift and Nachtmystium this year? Stand and be counted, ye faithful.

hahahahahaha *points*

ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor.

What, you don't like Nachtmystium?

I think he means liking both Nachtmystium and Taylor Swift is a really ILX place to be spiritually.

(I know, I'm just making fun of him... shhhhhh!)

New display name btw. See below.

In sickness! In madness! I had the best day with you!

he came here indie and now likes teenpop and metal. It doesnt get any more ILX than that! (ask k3v k)

Or me.

Don't you worry, Herman, I still cling tightly to my xx debut album from last year.

I'm actually listening to that right now. u_u
