I've just been (unsuccessfully) trying to find the thread where Chris Habib (quite rightly) totally went off on one with people who were posting links to Rather Ripped leaks on the board. A tiny quantity of rep goes to the first person to find it and bring it to me.


EDIT - And the tiny quantity of rep goes to..... me: http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=853. It's a cracker.

Hear hear! Thank you. ;)

I can wait until June 9th. But not because I think downloading it will ruin the experience or something. It's just that I'm not as excited about it as some people.

There´s something magic about dropping down the needle on a record for it´s maiden voyage. Hopefully I´ll wait, but if theres a "get the mp3 version right now" thingy with the preorder, I´m pretty sure i´ll listen to prior to it´s "real" release

me too

I don't need fucking paper, ink, wax, plastic or other oil derivated products to enjoy the music !
Of course I won't wait !!

You don't need plastic for this? no pc? no mp3 player? no headphones? no speakers? will you listen to it by brainwaves transmission?

just kiddin'.

I'll be downloading the leaked version IMMEDIATELY! I always buy the CD anyway so who the fuck cares.

As an audio engineer I think it is stupid that people still think vinyl is better than modern digital releases. I have read about the frequency response of vinyl and CD's... the only thing CD's are missing is the surface noise created when needle hits surface (ummm, not supposed to be in the recording people). Some people call this "warmth"... I think they are just trying to be music snobs and failing miserably.

Chris must be a late adapter. He should learn a thing or two from the way Radiohead released their CD. There is no way of going back in time Chris... time to look to the future (and reality).

*Cha Ching*

i dont endorse or care about leaks and i usually don't download them, but if it does get leaked and a link crosses my eyesight and if at that moment i feel like downloading it, i will.

i'm just an unscrupulous twat bastard, i guess.

i still have the mental hability to distinguish an mp3 leak from an album, though.

That thread's crazy. Look at all those posters who don't post here anymore!

...Sure can't wait for this one to leak so we get a rehash of the same arguments I've seen for the past 3 leaked albums!!

Chris Habib has nothing to do with the way the band releases their album. But he does moderate this board, which means if he lets us post links to leaks, HE is the one that has to answer to the band as to why he allowed it. So don't be a prick.

Gotta agree with this one. I'm not going to get into why or why not a person should or shouldn't download this album, but DEFINITELY don't post links on this here board, that is like a slap in the face to the band. Chris lets a lot of shit go on here; hell, most boards you can't say the WORD "shit" without it being censored!! So, as respect to the band and the moderator and so on, I'm voting that no one posts links to the leaked album.

...

Stunning first contribution to this board..........

that pics ridiculous fresh! hahahahhah!

How'd you know I only listen to wax cylinders?

even with chabib's liberal moderation we've managed to keep this place relativly free of in print official releases, leaks and twatery as such.
that's the way it should be, and those who try to go against it should be promptly severely sodomized.

If i post a link for a leak of say the new Limp Bizkit record, can i get sodomy too? Thanks for yr time.
