based on something said on i've decided to take some action here. everyone on this board send an email to the following: -cdnow.com -amazon.com -bn.com -borders.com -warpmart -any other online realtor of your choice and TELL them to stock the cosmic forces of mu compilation, venetian snares, hrvatski, nautilis, luke vibert, and all your other planet mu favorites. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. even if you don't buy cd's, most of us here do and we're pretty fed up with not being able to buy them in the united states (and other countries). we need to make these companies realize there IS a large demand for this music, not just sit here passively hoping things improve while we keep downloading more and more planet mu albums we'll never purchase. don't sit on this. i'm about to email 10 different sites. spread the word. thanks. |

warpmart has planet mu stuff regularly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
they should sell direct from their website, they'd make double the money then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Mike P has said on the Planet Mu Phorum that he's looking into selling directly and that it would be possible next year. |

I'll send a message to amazon.com, since that's the only one I use regularly. This can work - back when I was still buying from cdnow.com they responded to my emails by stocking stuff from Kranky records. Maybe it was just a coincidence but there you go. |

Don't tell them to stock it - just ask them if they can order it.. don't cause trouble. Anyway there are 52 left in stock in UK. It isn't available in US until I re-release it there because Forced Exposure did it first. now we're with bubblecore and we have to re-promote it through the normal channels which takes around 2 months. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can refer them to for reference |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fine, then everyone say "i want to order [insert like 3 releases here]" if stocking it would cause trouble. the point is, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. i feel like a fucking numbskull for not realizing this earlier. |
||||||||

amazon.com has some obscure stuff actually. I just looked and they have venetian snares. I've never heard VS- which has doll doll doll on it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I always go to my record stores by my house and tell them to stock up on µ releases. I think that it would be more important to do that then to tell internet sellers to do the same. Ameoba records in LA does a really good job at stocking µ stuff. But other then that... not many other places have it. Even when you ask borders to special order some stuff from µ they cant do it..... I wonder how warp records started out? And how they managed to get their releases everywhere... even in best buy for christs sake. |

w M w: doll doll doll Mickey: not all of us live near cool music stores. i know that during the school year i sure don't. i have the school bookstore and walmart. i think internet sites would be beneficial cos this way people across the country (or the world even) can order the cd's. obviously it's important to tell both shop owners and web sites though. anyway i hope people use the forms i linked above, it only takes a moment to tell them to order some planet mu albums for you. |

damn, I should have put it in the order with "chris de luca and peabird" and "crunch 2"- both highly recommended. Is dollX3 the best? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like doll doll doll best so far but i haven't listened to anything since higgins yet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get both (higgins & doll*3) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

amazon only has these now. last 2 times i orderred from amazon they gave me free shipping. I have to buy other stuff there anyway so I guess i'll get higgins? U.S. Releases 1.

titsworth: if you ever come to Cali, in the LA area, or near San Fran.. check out an Ameoba reocords. Its like.... the best. I will e-mail amazon.com, and borders.... |
||||||||
|
|

|

Christ, those are pretty expensive. Most of the planet-mu full lengths are $17 from forcedexposure.com. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i've heard about amoeba, i'd definitely stop off there btw, bn.com is cheaper than amazon.com and also has free shipping (for 2+ items). compare prices. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is important. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
technically, this wouldnt really be a petition right? more like an organized action? hehe just givin ya a hard time ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you got me there -- so did you do it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, cause I acctually dont own, nor have heard hardly any mu releases. i know i should... but $ isnt flowing right now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about doing it for the benefit of the rest of us? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, slodge requested we dont just email saying "stock it", but to ask to order it. but I cant order anything... cause money is tight. im not trying to be a bastard. think of another way for me to ask, then let me know, and ill gladly do it for ya. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just tell them to order some copies (on the premise that you're the one who's going to buy them when they're available) and i guess they'll be put them on the main site. to me that's different from them just stocking all planet mu albums. i guess it's a little ambiguous cos i'm not quite sure how requesting that planet mu cd's be stocked is "causing trouble," unless that's his way of saying their US distro at the moment is really shite.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try getting them in bulk on warpmart or www.boomkat.co.uk www.smallfish.co.uk unfortunatley you have to have big sales and great press to get into the big stores - as most journalists are lazy or happy to follow, not lead labels like planet mu don't get masses of press on the whole |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a pity. but then again what's to stop an online realtor that prides itself in offering a big selection from stocking some planet mu cd's? bn.com has one vsnares and 2 nautilis, i think they should stock some more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then they've got to pay for themselves - ie people have got to buy em dude |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course people have to buy them. but what are you replying to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to you - didn't get it right but you answered so it worked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok.. but i'm saying there's lots of interest. i bet 10 times as many people have downloaded planet mu stuff as opposed to buying it. all the sites i emailed forwarded it to the appropriate departments. whoever's reading this, if you haven't done this already please do so |

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL INDIE SHOPS! this seems a much better idea. ask THEM to order what you want if they haven't got it, otherwise you'll shortly be buying everything from HMV, Virgin and other priced up shitholes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL INDIE SHOPS! " i second that, why would you guys want these places to get idm when you can just get it from a better source and often cheaper. bentcrayon.com is the place, especially since it will help the store since i live near it. i still have no idea how a lot of you have heard of this place. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think planet-µ-mart is probably the best avenue and if they suddenly get a bucket load of emails with no substance (ie. no real intention to buy) might even be counterproductive: guess it depends what you write in them emails? |

1. exactly how many times do i have to say that there are no music stores (let alone indie shops) in my college town and that online ordering is my only outlet for buying music? 2. i agree with your anti-corporate ideals but come on, don't be selfish. a lot of people who want albums on planet mu (or insert any other small label here) DON'T give a hoot where they buy it from as long as they get it. furthermore, you're missing the point -- these cd's are sadly very rare and it would greatly help the labels (eg: planet mu) to have their albums sold on popular sites like BN.com, cdnow, etc. compromises have to be made in this situation. it's not like we're talking about radiohead albums you can buy anywhere. |

there's a handsome pic of mr. skinner right |

tits .. i still reckon that planet-mu-mart is the way to go .. specially if you're thinking re: online sales. |
