The Stay Strong Until June 10 Thread

[lisaskye]

HELP.  this extended foreplay is killing me, but it may make me stronger if I do not give in.  I quit smoking ciggys I can stay strong.
I have at dawn playing in the car and the the Austin show on line.  FUCK I love librarian..

I broke last night when I went to their Myspace page.  I've been listening ever since.  They tricked me though, those bastards.  I was just going to have a look and the whole album starts playing.  

And for the record, it sounds amazing...

The juxtaposition is intense!!!  

What do you do???  

Jim said WAIT TILL JUNE 10th.  Then they went and streamed the album on their official MYSPACE page.  

What now???  

Pulled in 2 directions...

It's better the 5th time through than the 1st time.  So fuckin' great!!!

I don't get it. Why deny yourself the satisfaction of listening to it? I mean seriously, at this point what is the difference between hearing it at a listening party or streaming it online at their myspace page? I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, I held out almost as long as everyone else here did. Once they put it up to stream, there's no way I could resist and it hasn't decreased my desire to buy it next tuesday. In fact, it's made me MORE excited for it.

I know this is probably the wrong thread for this post as this is the 'support group' thread, so sorry if this comes accross the wrong way. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks I guess. I'm just trying to understand the motivation for holding out at this point. Either way, the album kicks ass!

Personal, for me, it has nothing to do with the LP or myspace. When MMJ first announced the release date, and than wrote to their fans about waiting until that date, I set a goal for myself. This is a goal that I feel is important to me. I have a hard time with people who say they are going to do something, and than find excuses of why they couldn't, or why they changed their mind. Integrity and commitment are very important values to me. If I say I'm going to do something, I will try my hardest to do it.

As far as you posting these lame thoughts of yours in this thread is just very disrespectful to us who are trying to wait. And saying "sorry if this comes across the wrong way. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks I guess," doesn't make it any less disrespectful.

As far as the album being kick ass, was there ever any doubt? It's MMJ!

Point taken. I don't think it's a terrible thing to have a discussion about it though, and I also don't think my thoughts are 'lame', but I obvously chose the wrong thread to share these thoughts. I think it's a pretty broad generalization to assume that I now have no integrity or committment because I listened to the tracks.

Whatever, I won't make any more posts about it in this thread.  :-X

What would you call it then? If you said you were going to wait (if you did) and than you didn't wait, I would say that is a lack of committment and therefor hurting your integrity...

I just thought it was lame because of the lack of respect...

At the end of it all, it only matters what you think: If you think you did the right thing than it's fine.

to this day, and forever, there are few things more exciting than patiently waiting for your favorite band's release date for their new album, going to your favorite locally owned record store, buying the album (or CD), driving home, getting home and unwrapping the CD, drawing the curtains, putting it in the ol' stereo, cranking it up to 11, and letting all that anticipated bliss fill the corners of your life and home; for me, that's what I like.

aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, just like the old days.
