twenty extra dollars for a doodle?

atsonicpark · 11.06.2007, 03:22 PM

Yeah, please don't spend $40 on this -- the last thing we need is Thurston to actually think his chicken scratches make his mediocre albums worth any more than they actually are. Yuck.

akesin · 11.06.2007, 08:47 PM

Yeah, truth his thurston agrees with you about the autograph thing... but half of the orders so far have been for the auto'd version so somebody is into it(it's a signature not a doodle.) Anyway, just to be clear, I'm the dick here.

I won't respond to your assesment of "mediocre" other than to say you're entitled to your opinion and I vehemently disagree.

Peace.

i think paying double for something you can get at the end of an sy show for free seems pretty dumb to me.

by the way, seriously, why are ep's international shipping rates so high? i wanted to order the sunburned with paul flaherty tape but it was 3 times as much for shipping alone.

RanaldoNecro · 11.06.2007, 11:06 PM

American shipping is notoriously cheap. Shipping is way of life in the US.

tesla69 · 11.07.2007, 10:33 AM

I see Thurston hanging out at so many different functions it seems silly to me to pay $20 for an autograph when he is so approachable but not everyone lives in NYC or West Mass so...

anyone who saw this played live knows it is not mediocre.

Rob Instigator · 11.07.2007, 11:40 AM

This record is so good! I have been listening to the picture dish non-stop since it arrived three days ago. I love it. I paid for the pic disc, but I would not pay for an autograph, although it would be nice.
Trees is a fucking good record! I am surprised at how much I love it.

atsonicpark · 11.07.2007, 01:50 PM

Well, compared to Psychic Hearts, it's the best fucking album ever released. But that's not really a fair assessment. It's a decent album, nothing more, nothing less.

Also, for whatever odd reason, I got 5 reps for the last thing I said on this thread. Hmm...

Oh, sorry, forgot!:

"....in my opinion."

I don't see a problem here. Some of us don't get any shows around the places they live so that is the only way we can get the autographed LP.

I agree about the shipping rates. I was starting to order the LP frop ep and then it said that shipping it to Israel costs almost as the LP itself. I'm going to wait for some more EP stuff and order them together.

word.

The Usher · 11.08.2007, 08:00 AM

I don't see a problem with this. If you want it then buy, if not, then don't. Some people love collecting signed stuff. As Akesin has said, people are into it.
I always find atsonicpark's 'critiques' totally off the mark, your comments on other bands/music always seem to come from a really personal perspective, which appear to be tinged with a hint of jealously. What's up, no one wanna buy your signed records?

I was lucky enough to find a copy of the Mirror/Dash 7" for £1 some years ago which I subsequently got autographed by both Kim and Thurston for free.

Sorry, this isn't really pertinent to the thread, just me boasting.

yes, but twenty dollars more for a signature? if it was $5 or $7 more dollars, i could understand that, but paying double?

plus, i bet a lot of those signed records are going to go straight to ebay for fucking $60.

so does ep have a fixed rate for shipping? pay one shipment for everything you can get?

Just don't worry about it. so what if someone puts one on Ebay, I doubt it'll sell anway...I always see signed SY stuff on there which never sells.

I just don't see the problem, it's not as if Thurston's gonna make a zillion bucks out of doing it, he's hardly gonna run out to the shops and start buying up sports cars and houses in the hamptons...there's bigger things to get pissed off about in the music industry than a bunch of signed picture discs.

Everyneurotic · 11.08.2007, 11:25 AM

i'm expressing my opinion about it.

The Usher · 11.08.2007, 11:32 AM

Everyneurotic · 11.08.2007, 11:34 AM

and what? i just want to express that paying $20 for a signature is stupid.
