WHY MUST THEY TEASE ME SO??
 

hedtwin from manchester on 2001-08-27 22:02 [#00026322]



Jesus. I REEEEAAAAALLLLLLYYYYYY want to d/l Drukqs off
soulseek or something, but i ALSO don't want to.

I decided to myself when i first heard about the album that
i would not listen to any off it (apart from what warp send
out or whatever) until teh day it came out, when i wud
listen to it in a dark room on some headphones. Buts its
getting harder by the day :(

Anyone else doing the same thing?

Yup..... same thing here. But I know that I wont download
the CD Tracks anyways. Just cause I dont think I should. I
can wait, even though I cant.


 

hedtwin from manchester on 2001-08-27 22:51 [#00026346]



Yeah, i'm not going to, but its just SOOOO tempting!

i like what i have heard...

What i do in that situation is I download the album and
listen to it once. I did that with the latest Radiohead. I
didn't want to ruin the suprise of that album so I only
listened to it once, that way when I listened to it when it
came out, it still sounded fresh.

If you're so conflicted, just download and listen to it
once, and then get rid of it or whatever. It won't ruin the
album. They have album previews on the radio all the time
where they play the full thing, and everyone listens to
those......

I don't think it's a big deal.... doing that. Dosen't ruin
it, and gets the fix so you're not conflicted about
listening to it anymore.

i'm constantly listening to it, sorry can't help it :) but I
don't feel like I own these tracks. that's why it's so sweet
to buy the album when it comes out.


 

Harry Sack on 2001-08-27 23:49 [#00026371]



You know the line that goes something like this: "Are there
God? It's me, Charlie" What film is that off? The orignal.

I liked what WARP fed me and now I am waiting like a good
little boy :)


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-28 03:49 [#00026415]



for that dirty harry sack:

there was a book by judy blume called "Are you there god?
It's me Margret."

is that what yr getting at?


 

Harry Sack on 2001-08-28 04:10 [#00026417]



Is it a "joke" sort of book or serious "love God" book?


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-28 04:14 [#00026418]



nope. regualr novel about a teenage girl growing up.......
confused.. whatever. blah.

actually, i think he might be reffering to the movie "it's a
wonderful life"


 

Harry Sack on 2001-08-28 07:07 [#00026481]



Yes, that's it. Have you seen it, Phexian?


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-28 07:15 [#00026487]



i saw that last christmas.
actually kinda funny at times.
one of those movies you just have to see. like star wars and
harcore porno

Have YOU seen it, phexian?

HEDTWIN--i suggest doing exactly what you said you had
originally planned to do. wait until it comes out and then
listen to the entire album in a dark room. this is what i am
going to do. here are some reasons...

-the longer you wait, the more pleasant it will be once you
finally listen to it. much like when you really have to piss
but you hold it as long as you can...it's that much greater
a release once you finally do piss. same with water, can be
the same with sex, you get the idea...

-an album is a piece of art (obviously); each individual
song is made and composed the way it is for a specific
purpose, to induce a certain feeling. the same goes for the
album as a whole. the songs are set in the order that they
are for a reason. the timing of how soon one song starts and
another begins is done for a purpose. you are meant to hear
the entire album EXACTLY as it is laid out on the official
version bought in stores. that's the only way to truly hear
it as the artist intended. if you download song by song, it
won't have the same effect. it would be like watching the
scenes in pulp fiction in the "correct" order.

these are the reasons i'm waiting. same is for vespertine.

I didn't read any of the posts in this thread except the
first and the last but I agree...hold out. I will, why
bother with annoying downloads and fake tracks. The
anticipation will build, and hopefully you won't be let
down. I'm doing the same.

I'm here for you if you need any emotional support to get
through this trying time. :)


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-28 09:00 [#00026510]



Yup. I say wait. Ofcourse thats just me. But you know..... I
mean I think if you wait for it to come out it will be just
that much sweeter.


 

hedtwin from manchester on 2001-08-29 02:47 [#00026809]



I'm gonna wait :). It really will just be amasing when i
finally hear it that way :). And if i need it, theres a
break half way through to think about what i have heard :).


 

zoe the viking from none on 2001-08-29 04:37 [#00026828]



I just heard the new autechre ep. Much better than the new
aphex twin. There both good.

angry taxidermist from vancouver on 2001-08-29 05:23 [#00026840]



Heard about it from warpcomm. Not definite... one unreliable
person said its going to be called ep 8 but I don't trust
them.

I am looking forward to it too.

How the hell can you not know about the new Autechre. it
came out a while ago. Confield. God man go look into this
stuff on your own.
