Here albums and gigs are expensive. Even if it's a local band we're talking about, or even when most of the cds are made here... apparently everything costs as much as if it was imported nowadays. I hate record companies.
But I love buying cds of my favourite bands. As for gigs, I have to be selective because I don't have that much money, which sucks. |

| i'm doubting on doing it. The reason is, no international dates for the release yet :( if there's a chance to confirm other countries will have it on the release date, i'll wait |

Huh? It comes out on the 29th so you can't buy it before then anyway. Unless you mean the single, but that's not what you were asking about :S

Also, to be fair, has anyone noticed the sharp increase in the cost of gigs?? Since illegal file sharing became popular I can now afford to see more and more live shows as I don't have to spend as much money on cd's. Which is what it should really be all about - supporting live music. Especially smaller bands that I wouldn't normally think of seeing.
Gigs are now the best way of making money because albums and singles don't sell enough to make a return. So from a business point of view, the only point in music releases is to promote the gigs. |

On that note. I adore the KOL, but the middle section seems a lot like filler, dont get me wrong, great album with the best KOL song ever written " Use Somebody " and the latter " Be Somebody " but other than that its good, but not "Ode " good.
Also Glasvegas - Incredible. |

| FYI - the promo copies of the album for review have been released to the press this week. I'm reliably informed by my friend who reviews for the local rag and just got her copy. |

I suspect the single (plus b-sides) will be leaked first. Don't see anything imminent right now, but I know where it'll be leaked first, so keeping a keen eye...
argh sod it, I just KNOW I'm gona download this. Justification being that I'm gonna buy the album anyway, but still me bad person. |

So, not long till the release, seen a couple of places claiming to have it, but none credible.
Anyone else see it on the i-net horizon? |
