There aren't going to be any previews on iTunes? Like you know what I mean... you go to the album, click on the song and hear 20 seconds or whatever? Does that only happen after the album comes out...

I don't deal with iTunes often. And I'm not going to this time, either... I plan on illegally downloading the songs and waiting to import the physical CD. iTunes sux.

i want to do the same thing. does that make us bad people?

no no! Importing is gonna cost me more than I'd be paying for a full-length CD from Wal Mart, so there's no way I'm buying these songs twice! Besides, Billy says he doesn't care if people buy his music as long as people listen to it (even though he was LYING, no doubt...hahaha)

no one cares enough for there to be a widespread leak.

I found out a link !!!!!!!!! But I don't know if it's real!!! I'm downloading it right know...

I ain't touching it.

so anyone click on ^ that link?



43% .... you can wait till it's finished and I will tell you. But my internet connection keeps going online and offline :( ....

i want to do the same thing. does that make us bad people?

i'm with you guys. Yes that makes us bad people.

billy still owes me for the illustration stuff. i'm taking my payment in songs.

I ain't touching it.

TOUCH IT!

thats a lame payment considering everyone else will get the songs at the same time. its not like you're getting them early or anything.

appropiate payment would be a record a song dedicated to you, give it to you, and you hoard it (but you share it with me).

i'll take that payment.

TOUCH IT!

And suddenly I'm back at my wedding night and the tears return.

You know, it's hard to leak an album when there isn't a fucking physical copy yet.

No need to get cross about it, now.

i didn't expect a watermarked copy for this release.

It's called: "Inside the Zeitgeist+" and features all the songs being played while Billy shops around local stores for a Lobster mate for his antique Lobster. And like I said, it's on the Special Edition of American Gothic.

i hate the smashing pumpkins

i hate the smashing pumpkins

Don't you mean Smashing Pumpkins?

clearly he's kidding.
why is that?
(it isn't that clear to me. that's why i was asking.)

I love how everyone else gets a lossless release but the US is stuck with lossy iTunes.

Awesome!

Yeah, it`s so unfair. I wish there was something like the internet to spread lossless versions within minutes after the physical release...:think:

woah! could you imagine the possibilities if there was something out there like this "internet" you speak of? :eek:

The non-US versions are probably sourced from iTunes. Either way, all versions will probably clip like hell again...

this band sucks

come on, dudes, i put a littl bit of effort into the fake EP. at least download it to humour me.

i liked the church videos better.

i dont trust you d. i think your fake ep might be a fake and i cant risk listening to any new sp material... my weak stomach cant take it.

not only did i rename each of the four songs, but i added a text file as well!

why is that?
(it isn't that clear to me. that's why i was asking.)

phoenix down did get sent a promo of zeitgeist, iirc.

i don't have my regular computer with me that has all my itunes songs on it. i wont be able to download it on the 2nd. probably the first sp related release i haven't boughten the day of since TAFH.

Blank is okay.

whoaaaa. Hey we're all entitled to our opinions.

did this band stop doing real interviews on purpose? did they explain why? they used to do interviews with many different publications for most albums before zeitgeist, now it seems a few sentences appear in every news blurb with very few interviews. curious if the band has stopped, or if the publications aren't interested, or what

I’m quite sure it was on purpose. I believe it was sometime during the orange peel gigs that BC mentioned that he felt that the media had something against him and wanted to see him fail…or something along those lines. I think there might be a video of it somewhere.

Yeah, in an interview he said he wanted to have the music do all the talking. Sorry I don't know which one, but it was one of the FIRST video interviews. Maybe that At&T Blueroom one, but I think that one was alittle later.

the only thing i've heard them say is they wanted the music to speak for its self. but they've done interviews.

chamberlin had a good article in modern drummer.

I just always assumed Billy declined doing interviews for this one simply to avoid questions about why James and D'arcy aren't involved.

yup there are also no photos of the band with jeff and ginger...and im glad...they dont fit in anyhow...we need james back!

we need james back!

1995 James does not equal 2007 James. Please don't be ignorant.

i want to smash smashkin in the face

Billy's being guarded about talking. He mentioned it on that XM acoustic thing, and the show I was at, he came out to talk after the last set, and thank the crowd.
BC:"I'm trying not to talk so much because when I do, I get in toruble..."
Fan:"Play Disarm!!"
BC:"nooo, we won't be playing disarm...See? This is why I can't talk! LOL"

Did he really say LOL?

that would own if he said 'own' and 'lol' and 'roflcopter'

I wish he'd say "roflcopter" in one of his blogs.

w00t

I wish he'd say "roflcopter" in one of his blogs.

he should post some lolcats on his blog too

i'd slap someone if i head them say words like "roflcopter" irl!

don't lie, you know you would laugh... i know i felt dumb back in the early 2000s for saying 'own' all the time... but now its part of popular lexicon.

Billy's being guarded about talking.

I'm fine with it, because when he finally does it's all elevated speech that tries to be poetic and mysterious, but really it just comes off as goofy. Case in point: his most recent official site blog. I could do without that kind of drivel. Just speak like a normal human being and tell us what's on your mind. You won't be criticized so badly if you speak normally.

Just speak like a normal human being and tell us what's on your mind. You won't be criticized so badly if you speak normally.it's quite obvious that he doesn't know how to be impeccable?

goofy rulesz

He doesn't really talk like that, though... I mean, he has his moments, sure. But it's mostly when he's writing that he seems to go all weird on us.

Anyway, I don't really mind the lack of interviews. People either tend to just take things he says out of context and blow everything out of proportion or he really says something stupid, and I'm getting pretty sick of rolling my eyes.
