Calvin924 Senior Member Posts: 34 Registered: Apr 2002	posted August 06, 2002 09:44 PM All right, so I was thinking yesterday about how all of us are probably shaking with excitement and counting the days down until Aug. 27. So that got me thinking, what's the last album you had to have so bad you bought it on it's release day? -Calvin IP: Logged
Calvin924 Senior Member Posts: 34 Registered: Apr 2002	posted August 06, 2002 09:51 PM Okay, since it's my topic I'll go first. I can remember two specifically, but not which order they came in, so I'll just list both. 1. Rufus Wainwright - Poses After falling in love with his first album (which first caught my eye at the library and triggered the memory of that Gap commercial he did years ago) I had to hear more. He came through well with an excellent sophomore CD. 2. Semisonic - All About Chemistry I have to admit I've always been a huge Semisonic fan. Having seen them in concert many times, I'm always hungry to hear whatever they put out. (Plus they're Minnesota born and raised like me. You gotta support your local scene right?) Their first CD, Great Divide is excellent, but to be honest I find their work declining. Their last album I'd call just average. Eager to hear your stories, -Calvin [This message has been edited by Calvin924 (edited August 06, 2002).] IP: Logged
Mangotigerlily Senior Member Posts: 337 Registered: Mar 2001	posted August 06, 2002 11:38 PM just to say I love Poses and found out about Rufus in the same way. My List: 1. Duncan Sheik- Humming I must have been 14 at the time, and how I found out about it was that I was actually in the mall music store looking for some silly thing and they had up posters for it and I had to get it when it came out. 2. Edwin McCain- Far From Over Yeah I know the album tanked mostly.. in sales but I still actually like it and At the time there wasn't much new stuff comming out last June so I felt desperate for somethingI could count on bc I had liked all his other stuff too.

BryterLayter77 Senior Member Posts: 615 Registered: Oct 2001	posted August 07, 2002 12:57 PM 1) "Humming" I was going to community college when "Humming" came out four years ago, back in the day when I always commuted to school. That day, I had a meeting to attend at 10:30 in the morning, with a Biology professor to go over some things. Of course, the meeting really was secondary to getting the CD. I had been aware for about a month that "Humming" was coming out on October 6th, and I really didn't feel like waiting all day to get the CD. So, as I drove to school, I took a side trip to the mall to get the CD. Back then, the mall opened up at 10:00, and I had arrived at 10:15, figuring that I would just walk in and get the CD. WRONG!!!! That day, of all days, the person working the morning shift at Sam Goody's was twenty minutes late, and the store didn't open until 10:20. I rushed in, picked up "Humming," payed for it, and then rushed out of the mall. At that point, I only had five minutes to get to school and to my professor's office. I was about five minutes late for my meeting, but since I got "Humming" that day, it didn't really matter. 2) "Phantom Moon" I don't have an interesting story, as if the story abovie is interesting at all, behind getting "Phantom Moon." When it came out, I had class all day, from 11:00 in the morning until 5:30 in the evening. I had no other choice to wait until after my last class let out before heading off to the mall. Like last time, I purchased the CD at Sam Goody's, and when the I reached the counter, the worker said, "Hey, this is some great stuff. We've been playing this for most of the day, and its very good." 3) "Kid A" I ended up getting the regular CD and the special addition CD when it came out. With "Kid A," three years separated it with "OK Computer," but it was well worth the wait. Richard IP: Logged
serenasheik Senior Member Posts: 49 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 07, 2002 01:22 PM All this talk about Rufus Wainwright Poses made me dig out his CD He has a great track on the Moulin Rouge CD by the way IP: Logged
tiptuptig Member Posts: 18 Registered: Mar 2001	posted August 07, 2002 01:44 PM i bought Eminem the first day it came out, his older one though. I bought Humming and phantom Moon the first day they came out (both at Best Buy). Usually I don't do that, it's with very few artists that I do.

Carly Senior Member Posts: 457 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 07, 2002 04:47 PM Duncan Sheik--Phantom Moon*It was in limited release up here in Minnesota, and I had to have it!!! Dave Matthews Band--Busted Stuff*This is a great CD! I have already bought "Daylight" at Amazon.com, it will be coming on the 30th. Carly IP: Logged
JustJenn Senior Member Posts: 1388 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 07, 2002 06:02 PM I tend to rush out to buy the music I really love on the release day or else I never seem to buy it... Amanda Marshall - Everybody's got a story Moulin Rouge II Garth Brooks - Scarecrow I have already pre-ordered John Mayer's Inside Wants Out Sarah McLachlan - Remixed (that was a while ago) Duncan - PM (I think the guy at the music store thought I was a freak, because it came out a week later here and I stopped by everyday just to see if he hid it from me, he had not idea when it was being released here) Sadly though Daylight comes out the same day as the Dixie Chicks new one (yeah I know everyone else is going who cares, but I have had the Dixie Chicks song in my head since I first heard it) and I am not exactly in the financial situation to buy both.

serenasheik Senior Member Posts: 49 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 07, 2002 06:13 PM Thanks Jenn for letting me know about the John Mayer cd...I have liked him since last december and had not heard about that cd....and I have not gotten to see him in concert either Thanks a ton!!!!!

Calvin924 Senior Member Posts: 34 Registered: Apr 2002	posted August 07, 2002 11:10 PM Just wanted to say how excited I was to see there were 14 replies to my topic. It's also cool to see that other people are familiar with Rufus. Most people I mention him to say "who?" And yes, his contribution to the Moulin Rouge Sdtk was a good one and "Instant Pleasure" from Big Daddy is a fun one too. Hope you all keep the stories coming! -Calvin IP: Logged
Wildsea Senior Member Posts: 113 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 08, 2002 12:42 AM Keep your fingers crossed for a sneak peak on the Atlantic Records site. I'm not sure if they are doing it with all new releases, but when Edwin McCain's was released last year they had a preview the weekend before. Whoever came up with that buzztone promotion should get a big pat on the back. For smaller market areas who won't get to hear the song on the radio it will bring more attention to Duncan. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to send the email to our local radio stations? IP: Logged
sweetsnail Senior Member Posts: 1242 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 08, 2002 02:31 AM First off, Wildsea. That is a brilliant idea. I wish I had thought of that. As for buying on the first day, the only one I did that for was "Phantom Moon". I had a few hours in between school and having to meet a bus to go up to Denver for the high school basketball playoffs. I got the car so I could go over right after school and pick it up. Then I took it on the bus with me and listened to it. I just was in a catatonic state, emersed in the music as we rolled up the highway. And it was great after the game because we lost and it was very relaxing to listen to "Phantom". Almost made me feel better about losing. -steph IP: Logged
galore4 Senior Member Posts: 167 Registered: May 2001	posted August 08, 2002 09:19 AM When I bought Phantom Moon, I went to Tower Records on Monday night at Midnight to take advantage of their "Midnight Madness" of new releases. I convinced my boyfriend to go with me, hoping it would be a cool opportunity to potentially meet Duncan Sheik fans in Boston. Umm...was I ever wrong. Guess what other albums were released on that night?? The Backstreet Boys, Dave Matthews Bands, and I even think a Wu Tang album was droppin'! It was insane!! I've never seem so many young girls that excited, that late at night. Well, by the time got to the counter, I assumed I wasn't the first person to ask for Duncan's album, there had to be 50 people on-line in front of me. Well, again, I was oh-so-wrong. The guy had no idea what album I was talkin' about. He had to get another worker to verify that it was REALLY released this day. After a few minutes, he pulled it from a cart to his own suprise. "Well, huh.. we do got it. Umm, ahhh, here ya go!" I was the first person to buy his album in all of BOSTON!! Craaaazy BTW-- I adore Rufus Wainwright too. Instant Pleasure off the Big Daddy soundtrack is a gem! That song rocks like NO OTHER! If you're a Rufus fan and haven't heard this song, you must check it out. I can even send it to ya if you can't get it! IM me at: (AIM) aveigh18 Sleepily, Maria IP: Logged
elijahreaper Member Posts: 1 Registered: Aug 2002	posted August 08, 2002 02:32 PM Since I am in New Orleans, and the Duncan Sheik CD Phantom Moon was released on Mardi Gras day, I couldn't buy it until Wednesday. Virgin Megastore was closed for Mardi Gras, like everywhere else around here. Looking forward to Daylight. It's coming out the same day as Coldplay's latest album: A Rush of Blood to the Head. Coincidence? I think not. This is going to be a day I won't forget in music history. Additionally, Track 6 of the Coldplay CD is called.... Daylight. IP: Logged
Carly Senior Member Posts: 457 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 08, 2002 07:47 PM Rufus is very good, but I have never rushed out to get one of his CD's. As soon a Third Eye Blind and Sister Hazel's new CD's come out, I am going to buy them! Carly IP: Logged
duncanfan Senior Member Posts: 695 Registered: Mar 2001	posted August 08, 2002 08:27 PM Hey Carly, Third Eye Blind's new cd is called Crystallballer. I'm very excited to get it as well. Duncan is first all the way, but 3EB is next in line. Tina IP: Logged
Rina316 Senior Member Posts: 50 Registered: Mar 2001	posted August 08, 2002 08:33 PM Phantom Moon is the only CD that I tried to get on its released day, and I didn't have time to, so I had to get it the next day. Can you imagine my torture waiting just one...more...day??? Ahhh! LOL ~RENA~ I'm definitely getting "Daylight" on the release date, I'm not going through that pain again IP: Logged
sweetsnail Senior Member Posts: 1242 Registered: Apr 2001	posted August 09, 2002 12:49 AM ooooo. coldplay!! And 3EB!! AHHH!!! I'm going to be in musical ecstacy all fall. I guess I'll be buying two cds on the 27th. you know, I actually bought the sophomore 3EB album the day it came out too. I forgot about that. -steph IP: Logged
tiptuptig Member Posts: 18 Registered: Mar 2001	posted August 09, 2002 03:29 PM Oh, I forgot, I also bought Incubus "Morning View" the day it came out as well!!! Lisa IP: Logged
sheikfreek84 Member Posts: 7 Registered: Aug 2002	posted August 09, 2002 07:43 PM "Phantom Moon" was the last I can remember. Now "Daylight" and "The Wraith" by ICP are the ones. Anybody else into ICP??? Rufus is also very cool. "Evil Angel" is my favorite song.

Killer. Waiting until the store opens on the 27th is killing me too. Crystal ~~~~++++~~~~ IP: Logged
Amy Senior Member Posts: 298 Registered: Mar 2001	posted August 10, 2002 01:53 PM Okay, the very last album I bought on it's release date was Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot". I saw them in concert that day too and it was amazing. I too, remember buying Humming and Phantom Moon on their "birthday". I bought Humming right after some night course I was taking. I walked out of the music store, straight into the nearby Starbucks,bought a coffee and ripped that sucker open. I chilled out there and read the lyrics before catching a bus home. I bought Phantom Moon at this High Fidelity type record store called, Tom's Tracks. They knew who Duncan was and what label he was on, earning my respect immediately. But the first copy I recieved was defective and I had to exchange it for another one. I panicked a bit but was okay soon after. I also bought "kid A" and "Amnesiac" on their birthdays as well. just a couple more weeks everybody....... *amy IP: Logged
