noisereductions · 11.13.2012, 10:32 AM

there's yr problem.

Rob Instigator · 11.13.2012, 10:54 AM

will it negate the folk?

themawt71 · 11.13.2012, 11:31 AM

does the digital dl come with the liner notes and pics?

RanaldoNecro · 11.13.2012, 11:35 AM

I got it on itunes and it didn;t

Rob Instigator · 11.13.2012, 11:38 AM

I have yet to download the bad boy. The vinyl came with a free digital download.

halgreen · 11.13.2012, 01:22 PM

Even though I pre-ordered the LP and the CD, neither came in today. What a bummer...

noisereductions · 11.13.2012, 07:03 PM

yep. No CD here either. :\

Severian · 11.13.2012, 07:27 PM

No LP, no CD's. Just iTunes.

I did listen to it from start to finish, though, and I was honestly more impressed than I thought I would be. I'm sure the critics are right that it will mean nothing to non-fans, but being a fan, I wouldn't know anything about how non fans think, nor would I care if I did.

The reissue experience is always made juicier by the extras (packaging, liner notes, photos) but the songs sound really goddamn good, and I got that little nervous system pins and needles feeling that comes with a new (or "new") Sonic Youth release several times today.

Totally worth it.

Anyone else take advantage of the iTunes version to make your work day less hellish?

Listening to this bad boy right now. Awesome.
Just.
Awesome.

Rob Instigator · 11.14.2012, 08:44 AM

I love it so....

negative8ball · 11.14.2012, 10:58 PM

The sleeve looks good - but I'm not 100% sure why they used photos from the Continental gig in the notes (maybe I missed something)?

That aside, I was really happy with this - knowing it would be "bootleg" quality, I was bracing for the worst - but this was SO far from my fears, I was really happy with the overall feel. Here's hoping we get more of these - one per tour, please.

butterhole · 11.15.2012, 12:35 AM

hey at least he's honest

noisereductions · 11.15.2012, 08:04 AM

I'm so royally pissed at Midheaven right now.

Been busy as hell elsewhere + mourning the demise of SY, dOOd. This place has become a shithole, really. J'espère que ça groove de ton coté.

halgreen · 11.15.2012, 12:11 PM

Has anyone who preordered from Midheaven received their copy yet?

pas vraiment shithole, plutôt néant quoi. mais c'est triste de voir ça. même i want to get beaten est à l'abandon.

I just sent them this email:

Hello, I preordered this CD from you guys because it said it was shipping 11/5. I figured I'd support Midheaven and get it before or on release date (11/13). Well here it is 11/15 and no sign of the CD nor have I received any confirmation that it has shipped. As such can you at least confirm for me that it shipped 11/5 as listed, or if it didn't ship on time can you please let me know when it did ship. I'm worried that it hasn't shipped at all, two days after it was released. If that's the case I could have just bought it from my local store two days ago instead of giving you guys the business.
