because only paris hilton has the leek and she can't share it with us because she's in jail.

My guess is that not very many have actually heard it and those who have did so in very tightly regulated circumstances. But now that the single is coming out soon enough I'm expecting the leak any day. Especially if that DJ guy mentioned in another thread says they have Tarantula in the studio but have to wait until whenever.

bring on the leak!!

im inclined to think that radio stations dont have it yet. i emailed the program directors at several stations in dallas and houston, and talked to one of them in austin (whom im friends with) and nobody has seen it yet.

Mary Star of the Sea took forever to leak. In fact, did it even leak? If it did, it was damn close to the actual release date. Billy's good about keeping his shit under wraps.

Do you think information about it could be suppressed on this board (by watching the stream of incoming posts and deleting incoming threads / posts)?

a majority of the leaked albums i've gotten have always been leaked two to three weeks before the album is supposed to be released.

Bigger albums are leaking closer and closer to the release date.

This album doesn't come out til freaking July...It's not going to leak imo for at least another month.

It certainly sounds like Corgan is walking around with the only copy of the album in his pocket.

Radiohead's Kid A leaked, it had no singles or videos, and yet it debuted at number 1 and sold millions. Granted, it is RADIOHEAD, but still. These bands need to fucking shut up and let the leaks run their course, because it doesnt really matter in the long run.

i remember the first leak of msots were those stupid looping tracks that were the same length of the real songs.

Completely different point in time, completely different capacity of the music industry to stop it now.

Björk's Volta didn't leak until very shortly before and that is a much more highly anticipated release than Zeitgeist.

Arctic Monkeys shit was all over the net. They hadn't even released a CD. They became the fastest selling band in UK history, all with leaks on the net a year before the thing even came out.

Because the closer we get to the release date, the more likely you'll still buy the album. It gets leaked now, those that might have bought the album on name alone, won't. Then those who actually have brains and would have bought the album after making a decision based on the songs alone, won't if they hate it.

Soooo, no leak = cash.

Thats why you don't have a leak right now.

I agree. The album really should have leaked by now. I'm guessing by the 17th of May (just a number pulled from my ass) it will leak.

My experience with leaked albums differs greatly from yours. I find the bigger commercial, mainstream stuff usually gets leaked two or three months in advance.

For example, I downloaded the latest Bjork album (Volta) two months ago and I downloaded the newest Marilyn Manson album (Eat Me, Drink Me) about a week ago.

its because billy goes places, plays people the cd, then leaves with the cd he played them.

so if you listen to the cd at record store before you buy it does that count as a leak

i expect a leak within a week before the Paris date
debuting new songs to a festivalcrowd that hasn't heard it before and is quite honestly for the most part expecting to hear old hits played the way the crowd remembers them (which we all know TSP wasn't very good at delivering) amounts to calculated suicide as yet again thousands at those festivalgrounds will go home with a sense of utter confusion and that will be the talking point amongst friends etc when TSP is mentioned for weeks to come - so to make a lasting impression and a good one it's wise to have the shit out there to let people get used to the songs (or some songs you're gonna play live at least - i.e. leak a sampler or something)

Kahlo
05-09-2007, 04:57 AM
or they will play alot of the greatest hits..however I wouldn't imagine as you say that they would play Zeitgeist heavy setlists to festivals without some of the tracks leaking

ChristHimself!
05-09-2007, 05:17 AM
if they are really that confident in the new songs i think they should just come out and blast everyone's tits off with the new songs, and play old songs in the encore, at least for the first show just to throw everyone off

in other news i've just realised the venue im seeing mogwai in on sunday is really fucking small, so im looking forward to having my face smashed off and being unable to hear for the next 5 days

Yep. I think no promo cds of the album were sent out to anyone. So it's impossible to leak it.

I don't see how sending out promo cds of the first single to radio stations could make it possible for the album to leak though. They can't leak what they don't have. Also, I don't consider a radio station playing a song "a leak". That's more in the "release" category, in my opinion.

because they are impressionable and buy your records. It won't take much more than puttign SP on a few magazine fronts to make them accepted

To preserve your hearing, you could just wear ear plugs. At the volume of a live concert, I do not think you will miss much by doing this.

I don't think so, mostly because im hardcore as fuck and don't go to gigs to wear ear plugs like a little girly girl

you keep your old school bravado and I will keep my hearing. Sadly I would feel like a loser wearing earplugs..but its kind of stupid not to at certain gigs..Mogwai esp!

ChristHimself!
05-09-2007, 08:54 AM
fuck that, part of the fun at mogwai is the end-of-the-world noise at the end

it's not bravado, i was taking the piss, but it just seems daft to me, unless you're reviewing bands all the time, or playing gigs and pressing your ears against the speakers it's not going to permanently fuck up your hearing, it's like wearing sunglasses to a cinema in case it's too bright for your eyes, it may block out some of the loud noise, but it'll take away some of the nuances of the quiet parts too

Kahlo
05-09-2007, 08:55 AM
indeed, i do get your point but it is ear rapingly loud. maybe thats the point. I only saw half a Mogwai show before and still couldn't hear for a few days.

dude, if you don't wear earplugs to mogwai, i GUARANTEE you will have tinnitis in some form for at least a month if not your whole life.
