Purity Rings

Does ATO or the management do a street team release party type thing? I used to run them in college with Sony. You get a space, a decent PA/stereo system, pizza, "soda", and the label gives you swag to lure in the n00bs and then you rock out all night long.

I street team for ATO hopefully something like this happens.

When I first signed up here there was a street team for MMJ. I never got "called to service" and I don't think they really need one anymore.

BUT I did get a listening party package for EU. Vespa did too so we joined forces and hosted one together in a bar here that was down. They sent me the cd, buttons and a poster. Everything else was up to me. I took out a cheap, back page ad in one of the local weekly rags and posted info here as well. We had a good showing. Dylan from badman also was so very kind and kicked down some vinyl and cd's for us to raffle off. I would say there was somewhere between 20 and 30 people who came, not just our friends either .

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

Just wait people...it will be worth it. I promise!

[ynwa]

are we gonna get to do cd release parties again?

for EU, Sean and I had about 8 people...but after T5, there are a ton more NY vicinity-ers who know each other...

count me in but it should be a "record release party".  i'm sure ruckus and crispy will agree.  I'm happy to bring the vinyl.

i'm down w/ either a cd release party OR a record release party  ;D

Here are the rules on how to regrow/maintain your virginity, all without the help of Jesus.

   
• No listening to leaks. Don't even "put it in for a second to see what it feels like". It will feel good and you won't want to stop
• If the band releases a song officially as a single for promo reasons or radio play, it will be fair game
• If the band plays any shows prior to the release and new songs are played, it is fair game
• Reading reviews is like looking at porn. It may turn you on, so just do it at your own risk. There's nothing wrong with that, but it may make you a sinner
• If you're going to do it, do it right, and BUY the album. You're a fan, act like it.

I'll repost this in the first post too because, why not.

Can I lock the door, close my eyes, try to imagine what Circuital sounds like and then play it in my head all alone?   Will I go blind?

[Taterbug]

You might go blind, But you'll have to shave your palms for sure.

[capt. scotty]

Yeah, I'll join your virgin cult. I remember there was some site that had a 5 song sampler of EU at least a month before it came out (think it was Im Amazed, Evil Urges, TMIGTS2, Thank You Too, Highly Suspicious..something like that, all album sound quality), and I think I had played those songs so much before I got the album, it was a weird initial listening experience to EU.

Now if its not one of the few songs most of us have heard live that is the EU song released on this T5 countdown thing, I might give in, especially if its this Black Metal song or something, but at that point it should be pretty close to the release date, so I might be able to stay cold turkey.

Im also doing this for Storytellers. Not looking at the setlist, reading reviews from here. Want to watch that shit with a clean slate.

As Im getting busy with school already, it probably wont be too hard to stay out of here for the month before Circuital drops. That'll also almost certainly make it easier to hold out til the due date.

An update on how to stay pure:

   
• 30 second sample on Amazon is pure. If it is band-sanctioned, it is not a sin to play (with) it
• The release tomorrow (the 12th) is pure.
• Any concert streams or youtubes of LIVE versions of the songs are ok. If the band wants us to hear it, how can it not be OK?

What about if they release it a week early for streaming on MySpace ala EU? I remember it like it was yesterday... ::)

So basically, don't download a leak.

[Sticky Icky Green Stuff]

itunes messed up and posted the album online for 30minutes.  found it in a blog via google.  there isn't an online emotion to express how solid this album is.  you will all be satisfied thoroughly.   if you search around a bit, you might be able to find it

Yep. If we're gonna nitpick about the lost art of the album, and the album is a total work of art that the band is intending for us to experience a certain way, I'll let them guide me through it.

Seriously? If so, I should go ahead remind y'all of what happened with Evil Urges, where it got pretty nasty around here over leak PMs. So keep your filesharing off this board!

That said, I'm curious as to the tracklist of this here album.  ;)

Need i remind those who abandoned their pledge.......

[markcel]

Ring still in place, pledge still honored.  Only 28 more days

[BH]

Same here.   Must. Hold. Strong.    Again, I don't care if others download, I just want to sit in my chair, with headphones and the album artwork and soak it all in at once.   But this is going to be tough!

[headhunter]

I'm out.



I'm Out

And I have no regrets.  Been smiling all day.
