I remember buying Elephant when it came out and didn't care for it.  That whole wave of new music that I love now I wasn't into back then.  I was still into angry music, lol.  I tried Black Rebel Motorcycle club, The Strokes, Hot Hot Heat and others and it didn't move the needle.

I absolutely loved Elephant when it came out. I remember buying it on release day and taking it home that afternoon and had it on my turntable for days. Ball and Biscuit was one of my favourites.Then I heard the US was on red and white vinyl and got my local shop to import that as well which wasn't cheap. Im going to say it was about £20-25. It was the first time I had variants of the same record. Still have the US pressing but I sold the UK copy years later but wish I hadn't, preferred that sleeve.

Dummy me it was de stijl.  Before Elephant.  

I had an original Sympathy for the Record Industry copy of De Stijl and got rid because I had an XL copy. Bit of a mistake that. I've done a few stupid things like that but slowly learned.

Just an idea I had, but I feel like JW should sell little disposable cameras at his shows. Limit one per customer, no flash, and each camera would hold like 5 or so shots. I honestly don’t take too many pictures at shows. Typically I will just snap a few shots without even thinking about it in hopes that maybe I’ll get 1 or 2 nice ones and I never take video. I would of liked to take a few pics at his shows I had attended last year but since they lock up your phone…maybe this could be a little bit of a  compromise. The artist can make some money off the camera sales and it would give a chance for a fan to maybe have a nice memory to share.

he does actually have a pro photographer take pics and then you can download them off his website for free.

That’s true. They passed out postcards at the shows with the info where you could download the photos from that particular show. So that’s cool. I had some amazing vantage points though, would of made for some good photos, lol.

it is a good idea. But I have to admit, I freaking LOVED the show with no one holding anything up. And I'm guilty of it here and there too. I love having a visual memento of the show.

It's definitely nice. I will take a pic every so often but some people are just stupid with trying to video everything. It looks like shit, sounds like shit and annoys the fuck out of people.

I guess after Elephant the only album left to get the vault treatment will be GBMS. They've done Icky Thump X already that came in that crazy huge box.
