Greatest Hits is remastered, Galore isn't IIRC

"Ariel" is hopelessly overpraised. I've never understood this. I would YSI the Top demos for discussion but apparently YSI-ing is no longer ILM-friendly? Ned I'm sure would agree they challenge the album itself.

DOOD EMAIL A BRO

one month passes...

So when the hell are these coming out??

― Baaderonixx immer wieder (baaderonixx), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

Early August, like they said. What, did the date change?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

The "Inbetween days" 12" is the same as the 7" version.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

But I was said it was true.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:33 (nineteen years ago)

They should really include Blue Sunshine in the next batch of reissues.

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, that's the most stone-faced comment I've ever seen you give.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

But isn't that the plan? COF says it's been pushed back a week or two

― Baaderonixx immer wieder (baaderonixx), Thursday, 20 July 2006 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

I pre-ordered mine at Amazon earlier this week, figuring why go through the charade of pretending I'm not going to buy them. According to Amazon, not that their word is gold, the discs are out 8/8 in the U.S. -- that isn't so far off.

― BlastsOfStatic (BlastsofStatic), Thursday, 20 July 2006 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

(I'm glad someone appreciated my Geir impression.)

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 July 2006 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

So the new batch is coming out tomorrow, am I wrong?

― Das Spiel ist aus für Baaderonixx (baaderonixx), Monday, 7 August 2006 12:33 (nineteen years ago)

I was told just KMKMKM, although maybe they just put up the most "popular one".. I dunno.

― dottie nuttie dach nach dtnt hhhhhhhh (donut), Monday, 7 August 2006 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

Well AMG has the reviews up and all of them have a 8 August release date, so here's hoping... Not sure I'll pick up the THOTD one for the moment.

― Das Spiel ist aus für Baaderonixx (baaderonixx), Monday, 7 August 2006 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

Due out tomorrow, yes. Am busy tomorrow night so I'll grab the Glove and The Top on Wednesday. The other two might have to wait a bit, but we'll see.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 August 2006 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, these two are my priorities right now (esp since the bonus discs of the other two don't seem that appealing)

― Das Spiel ist aus für Baaderonixx (baaderonixx), Monday, 7 August 2006 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

errgh, I just realized that these were coming out later in Europe...

― Das Spiel ist aus für Baaderonixx (baaderonixx), Monday, 7 August 2006 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

Just called Easy Street. They have all four apparently (although not sure if they have the right Glove one or not.) They're open until 12:30am, and I was told they might sell out of one or more of them before tomorrow evening, so I'm gonna have to bus over at midnight tonight to grab 'em, then bus back, and hit the sac.

― dottie nuttie dach nach dtnt hhhhhhhh (donut), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

damn seattle goths

Hi! :D

― dottie nuttie dach nach dtnt hhhhhhhh (donut), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

Be careful when hitting your sac.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

It will be buffered by my large stash of Propaganda magazines. *puffs on cloves cigarette from behind the neck*

― dottie nuttie dach nach dtnt hhhhhhhh (donut), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:12 (nineteen years ago)

Pfft. Amateur. Smoke it through your black lipstick-lined tracheatomy hole next time.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

I suppose that's one way to prevent the tar from affecting the larynx...

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

i'd like to purchase all 4 tomorrow, but i don't think i can spend that much money right now. i might pick up the glove or THOTD.

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Monday, 7 August 2006 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

The demos on the second disc with Robert singing are entertaining as shit. They're of a much higher quality that the home demos on the first four, though they still sound like demos - the drum machine is way high in the mix and Robert's not trying too too hard. But still... miles above some of the shite on the first batch. Haven't made it to the outtakes yet, but this bodes well for round two's demos... better equipment I imagine.

― Mallory L . O'Donnell (That Bitch Camille), Monday, 7 August 2006 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

Gah!

It's not immediately apparent that I'm talking about the Glove reissue. Haven't heard the others yet.

― Mallory L . O'Donnell (That Bitch Camille), Monday, 7 August 2006 22:05 (nineteen years ago)

Already, got all four.

Now i want those Disintegration, Wish, Wild Mood Swings, and Bloodflowers reissues now dammit... sigh, they're probably going to make us wait until December... of 2007.

― dottie nuttie dach nach dtnt hhhhhhhh (donut), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 06:56 (nineteen years ago)

maybe in the gap we can get CURIOSITY REDUX AAARRRGGH

― kit (kit brash), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

The hard-core lithium test will be to see who'll be getting the deluxe wild mood swings...

― Das Spiel ist aus für Baaderonixx (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 09:30 (nineteen years ago)

*impatiently tapping fingers on desk, waiting for the post to deliver all of them, which I pre-ordered...*

― BlastsOfStatic (BlastsofStatic), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

they should redo the cover art for the bloodflowers reissue, I might like it better.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 8 August 2006 17:41 (nineteen years ago)

THE GLOVE BONUS DISC IS SO FUCKING AWESOME OMG

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

*cries*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

I got all four sets this AM. It's sort of overwhelming. Overwhelmingly awesome... Did Head On The Door before lunch, just finishing The Top now. Saving the rest for tomorrow.

― BlastsOfStatic (BlastsofStatic), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

I still can't believe the local Best Buy doesn't have these at all. I'm going to see for myself tonight.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

According to the guy I talked to at my second Best Buy of the day, they aren't even planning on ordering them. None of the Chicago area stores even had them on the radar.

Finally found them at Border's.

― jonviachicago (jonviachicago), Thursday, 10 August 2006 02:17 (nineteen years ago)

Really? Even the mall Wherehouse Music down here in the ass-end of Alabama had all four, even the Glove album.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Thursday, 10 August 2006 02:26 (nineteen years ago)

i haven't been able to find any either. weeeeeird.

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Thursday, 10 August 2006 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

I HAVE ALL FOUR OF THEM NYAH NYAH

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 August 2006 02:36 (nineteen years ago)

And fuck you too. Actually I did swing by my Best Buy tonight and their lying website aside, they DID have what I most specifically wanted, the Glove and The Top, so all is well. Tomorrow I'll get Kiss Me from the UCI-area store and order Head on the Door through them, so all is well.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 August 2006 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

All is DOUBLY well, even.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 August 2006 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

You want to hold me closer
And secretly entice
You take the size of shadowed men
And punish me with kisses every night

I do love this band. (And this side project.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 August 2006 03:40 (nineteen years ago)

Amoeba here I come, will have these by saturday. I'm so excited.

― BeeOK (boo radley), Thursday, 10 August 2006 04:25 (nineteen years ago)

One more week to wait for us ol' Europeans...

― Baaderonixx: the lost ILX years (baaderonixx), Thursday, 10 August 2006 07:15 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, had "Push" been the instrumental demo version instead of what it ended up being, I would have liked it.

Also how awesome is "Innsbruck"?

― Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Thursday, 10 August 2006 18:07 (nineteen years ago)

LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU. (That's the one I don't have yet -- just snagged Kiss Me, though. Will get my copy of Head on the Door on Tuesday.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 August 2006 18:21 (nineteen years ago)

Is the title track from The Top still as creepily awesome as I remember it?

― Louis Jagger (Haberdager), Thursday, 10 August 2006 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

You tell us.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 10 August 2006 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

Does this mean I have to go out and buy all the re-issues too? *sigh* Very well.

(I'm assuming yes, right?)
