It's hard choice. On one hand you get it the day of release and it probably costs you $22.99 from the warehouse. On the other hand you get it maybe 4-6 weeks after release and it costs closer to $40 but you do get the free live CD. Plus you can donwload it on the release date and listen to that until your actual CD arrives, so I'm probably going to go with that option I think. And take the opportunity to purchase more merch, the CD is $14 and you can order up to $35 and the shipping is the same, so if I buy a shirt at the same time, it's like free shipping! I think it will probably arrive within a couple of weeks anyway. And maybe one of the stores here will do a promotion giving soemthing away with the album (like they did for No Code, Yield and Binaural but not Riot Act to my knowledge) so I can always pick it up here early to get the freebie... That's my take on things anyway...
Warehouse fucking sucks for Pearl Jam. They didnt have RVM on release day. I complained. I stop past the Warehouse on May 2nd and it's not there I'll complain again and them to fuckin pull their finger outta thier arse and stop kissing up to pop lables and wat not then knock over a few CD racks get thrown out by security then go past sounds and pay marked up pirce. But what I want is fuckin pre-order vinyls. I'm probably gonna get the pre-order CD so i can get the live CD. I hope its good quility and fucking rocks.
What's wrong with sounds? It's your indie mentality, right? Then I guess the warehouse is out for you too...
Just hate how much sounds marks up, yeh I know there not the only one, see I know a guy who owns a record label, and when there selling it in there for $35 and I know how much he sells it to them for its crazy. I buy lots from the warehouse, no problem there.

The warehouse doesn't have anything on release day usually. That's the price you pay for the low price I guess. It's always a trade off and it's not a conspiracy against PJ.
Can I join your thread...... :( My home got taken away.....
ahhhh maybe. Well since your thread got locked. We now have some Aussie Assylum seeker. Promise we won't imprison you but treat you like any other fan.

Fair enough. Sounds is always my last resort, but sometimes you just have to. Real Groovy is even worse! Only problem with the warehouse is you usally have to wait and they don't always have limited editions (e.g. the Foo Fighters, In Your Honor with DVD) but they are cheap!
The good thing about real groovy though is they have so many things you couldnt get in sounds. Also, if you go through the second hand sections, I buy alot of my cds that way. The most you will pay is $15.
Make sure you vote for Pearl Jam on the Rock 30 countdown. Let's puch it all the way to number one. I think it can be done so don't moan about get out there and vote.
No, because Christchurch is not technically part of New Zealand any more.
I pre-ordered thru the Ten Club - fyi, it cost (all up inc. postage) $39.86. Which is not bad, considering the second CD.
The charge came through on your CC already? Or are you just going by the "hold" amount? I don't think they'd charge you until they sent it and exchange rate will change by then, although it should still be around $40 (unless the $ really drops). Wasn't that long ago that we were only getting around 40c, so that album including shipping would have been more like $60! :eek:
pretty sure it's been charged - and it's approx. the right amount.
Anyway, I personally think the new Vector Arena (if it's up and going by November, which it damn well should be) would be a better venue for Pearl Jam.

I am really hoping they play a couple of nights there. Mostly because you can almost guarantee that it will be all seated and then us 10C members are sorted for the first few rows (probably only the first row in NZ!)
I don't think it is going to be ready in May though. I've heard mid-year or August. Who knows? Only problem with it is no parking but there's always public transport (shudder)
Hey all, been a while since I posted. So I'm gonna bulletpoint my post .
*Of Course you are welcome here Ziggy, but why did our thread get taken away?
*Pearl Jam WILL be coming this year or early next year. because 1) It's called a worldwide tour and 2)Jeff said there were coming down here end of the year. Providing U2's postponed tour doesn't book up all the venues in Auz.
*The Rock isn't that bad, they actually play a lot of PJ comapred to most bands. Tracey plays me "Yellow Ledbetter" when I request it and Tuesday double shots have turned up some gems like "Release". Jono and Bryce are both Pearl Jam fans as well. With the exception of the Morning Rumble you couldn't expect much more from a commercial radio station.
*Worldwide Suicide has a pop-catch (not in a bad way) to it that the previous 2 albums didn't have. I can see it doing pretty well on radio and Pearl Jam getting a bit more exposure.
*Pearl Jam HAVE to play the Vector Arena because of their policy of playing to only seated venues.
Thats me done, have a wicked day!

Yeah Bryce is big fan he told me last nite. I don't think he's HUGE fan. But then maybe casue he's a DJ he can't show too much bias. He's given Pearl Jam fuckin awesome plugs for the past 3 nights. I've been hanging out ever nite just to hear WWS and him talk about the album even though I know every little available detail.

Agree with you on all points 100%. I get worried everytime I see these "false" down-under tour rumours with NSEC or Ericsson. I really hope they play Vector Arena. If we build it, they will come. I wonder who we need to talk to to give this idea? PJ management, Tour Promotor? They would easily sell out 2 nights there I reckon.
WWS was 21 on the Rock 30. Up on last weeks 28. But still could be better. Considering that it was number 1 on all those stations in the US. And number 3 on the Billboard Rock Tracks. Come on people get voting. I want it to be in the top 20 by next week and top 10 the week after that.
Anyone watching the commonwealth game? Good to see some medals coming. I'm watchin the men's triathalon at the moment.
Wats in the deep mag anyway? I joined to late to get it. Oh yeah does anybody like the new addition to my signature?
It's basically a little magazine, filled with stuff. Well, I guess you already knew that. The guys write little articles in it, there's a recipe, contest winner + new contest. Basically not too different from the old newsletters if you have any of them, but in book form.
As for your new signature, not so much...
