the lex usually valorizes kid-like reactions, no?

feat. the Black Eyed Peas
"one of the most anticipated records of the year"?
(NOTE: I really like Arular but COME ON NOW)
-- HI DERE, Friday, 13 July 2007 20:24 (3 days ago) Link
I can't actually think of another record I was anticipating this year except for Justice.
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 17:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean, why wouldn't it be?
― Spencer Chow, Monday, 16 July 2007 17:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Because her first album sold approximately 14 copies (including the two I bought)?
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
The fact this discussion has even occurred speaks to it being anticipated, dudes.
― sexyDancer, Monday, 16 July 2007 18:44 (sixteen years ago) link
oh ffs i give up
― HI DERE, Monday, 16 July 2007 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link
dan is right.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 16 July 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link
"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 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Dandy Don Weiner, Monday, 16 July 2007 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link
I for one am highly anticpating DP's world tour stop in the ATL so I can throw flowers on stage.
― Dandy Don Weiner, Monday, 16 July 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link
I was in ATL two weeks ago!

I am v v excited about this album aka anticipating.
Dan is right.

This isn't as good as the anticipation of the last album.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 12:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Kala's leak anticipation is boring. When's her next album going to leak?
― StanM, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 12:32 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 14:52 (sixteen years ago) link
can't wait til she starts launching subtle viral marketing sites feauturing grainy videos.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:20 (sixteen years ago) link
KALA's her mum's name. ARULAR is her dad's name. Tru-pop-fax.
― pisces, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link
we should have Tru-pop-fax scrolling at the bottom of ilm at all times.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link
I heard that KALA is a racial slur in arabic or something like that...
― The Brainwasher, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link
apparently its her dads name...
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I heard that it's Cornish slang for an erection.
― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link
So Mia is Tarzan?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:36 (sixteen years ago) link
I heard she was secretly Aphex Twin and it's all a big joke.
― Scik Mouthy, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link
i heard she was neneh cherry.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 15:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I heard she was Diplo.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 16:30 (sixteen years ago) link
wait has this not leaked yet? how is that possible?
― mitya, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 18:54 (sixteen years ago) link
It's so good/bad nobody wants to share it.
