but what about Canada!?

he didn't tell you that began costumers will get a chance to preorder the tix. that is why i'm giving you the heads up info...

You're right, I kind of overlooked that part, sorry if I came off as a jerk

Don't meddle with the Moshe man. He is our insider into the world of SY releases.

everything is cool.

That's not an עוזי!

do you think that we will be able to listen eternal straight from midnight in europe?

I hope so!

Just logged in to check this out. Is it just me or are the mp3 downloads not actually working? I've tried on Safari and Firefox 3 (Mac OS X). It counts clicks as downloads, but I'm not getting any files. Also, the preview stream of The Eternal Montage is seriously corrupted and sounds like shit... :confused:

for those who haven't noticed, matador is now accepting pre-orders...

Perhaps you had the same experience I did: when the page first opened, the montage started playing. I clicked to download it and what it did was start playing a second time along with the one that was already playing! Yes, it sounded like shit because they were playing simultaneously but at different points in the mp3. I ended up using the Firefox Download Helper extension to get the mp3 but perhaps it also would be in a cache or temp files folder on your computer. Hope this helps!...

Peace.

Umm, yeah. Actually I did a little poking around the source code to figure out what's going on there, and to me it seems like the download links are opening the mp3s in another frame. Of course, this doesn't make the browser download the file, but it should play if you have autoplay turned on in your media player (I don't). So techically, it's not really a "download".

Hopefully this will be fixed for the actual album files!

where? I can't seem to find that.

the store page and from the front page - it's not hidden - http://www.matadorrecords.com/store/...catalog_id=365

I clicked on the SY thing on the front page, and it just brought me to the page asking for my code if I already pre-ordered.

I just preordered mine. Did anyone else notice it said DOUBLE CD plus bonus vinyl?? Is the 2nd CD also the Battery Park disc??

yup, anyone knows what that mean?

just ordered mine also.
yeah double Cd sounds huh good.
I think it's the live LP on CD.
They ship to Europe yay.

Does every BEGN thing have the bonus CD? Or is it just the matador buyers?
