that Mercury Rev have quietly released a new album? it's an all-instrumental soundtrack, and it has to be one of the most beautiful things they've ever done, period. it's just....so....disney? it's entitled 'hello, blackbird,' and you can stream it at http://www.mercuryrev.net in the 'vibrations' section


it's wonderful...don't know if it'll be released in the US or not....

Mr J... I was going to suggest www.cdwow.com if you want to buy a copy. They offer free international shipping.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be spending the quid either coming from the US dollar right now. Today it was £1 = $1.95!!!

the secret migration's mediocrity (and i know this is a controversial thing to say) made me decide to never, ever spend the money buying an official, new LP on import again. that LP was just so boring. the only thing i liked about the record came when i unknowingly received a copy of the limited 2-cd edition on it. their cover of nico's 'afraid' made it somehow worthwhile.

$1.95?!?!

Well, I'm glad my paycheck being worth less can make Amy and Dog happy.

I'm sure Jackie is loving that too.

Also, this thread title made me think of the Flaming Lips.

Me, too.


Speaking of dollars-to-quid, has anyone noticed a "new trend" of eBay sellers from within the US charging GBP instead of dollars? This really kicks you in the crotch for shipping. I guess they are targeting UK customers, but I have passed on a number of auctions lately because I don't want to pay such excessive conversion rates to someone shipping from NYC or Utah!

All I'm thinking is that it's making Ostrich Skin boots around £220, which is highly affordable.

I hope it lasts. I better get on ebay then....
