Nice, I will definitely be making a stop somewhere for it.

i went to futureshop at lunch and found the dvd on the shelf to my joy.
but then i was trying to have them price match with hmv, through that process they saw that their release dates still said next week. so they said that it is supposed to be released next week and it was put on the shelf too early and they wouldn't sell it to me, despite me telling them that the release date got pushed ahead.
bastards.

Wow, that sucks. I called another localation of my local indie store and they said it should arrive by 5pm this afternoon in their store. Not in the location I had tried this afternoon though. They are supposed to hold it for me. I hope they actually have it.

Jo only informed us of the release date change on 19th so it looks like this happened at the last minute. It makes sense that plenty of places wouldn't have it in today. And if they do, some stores may not be putting it out on the shelf yet because they're still holding out for the old street date.

I wouldn't go out anywhere expecting to find it yet. Call first and don't just confirm that they have it in the store. Ask if it's out on the shelf.

I got the DVD, and all I can say is BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!

The documentary is cool, the videos look and sound great, the behind the scenes stuff is a nice treat, but the real cream of the crop in this collection is the Town and Country show from '88.

They kicked ass live!!! Frank wastes NO time between songs, and even continues through a song when his guitar had a broken string that needed to be replaced. Did you notice how he kind of air guitars while they're restringing his guitar? I guess he still wanted to keep the feel of the music. Awesome!!! I love how they're all dripping with sweat by the time they're through. They really gave that show their all!! And of course Joey "vamping" on Vamos is shit-hot!!

Hope everyone else is enjoying theirs as much as I am mine. I'm in Heaven...and everything is fine. :)

that should happen fairly soon, I think - there's certainly something underway, after about four years of us having no stock or parts to make more... fingers crossed... Pixies albums are MEANT to be heard on vinyl!

I guess it was priced fairly for the content, but man is it thin overall. The best thing on the disc is Miles' video diary stuff. Makes it nearly impossible not to absolutely adore Kim.
