bjorn_skurj Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 This reminds me of ads in gentlemen's magazines with the phrase "amazing placebo effect." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I can't imagine these are flying off the shelves. I wonder how in the world is that even legal? It seems like overt piracy to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edie Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I would like to know how one could verify that they actually followed their supposedly superior mastering methods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 This thread title is very violent. If they actually sold Wilco's most gullible fan an $87 cdr of a record, sure they're crooks, but a choke slam? what is a choke slam? exactly what it sounds like?

barbkm Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 $86 w/o shipping & handling, and 2 weeks to ship!?!?? For that much, Jeff should hand deliver it and let me sit on his lap while he serenades me with an A cappella version of I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (A cappella cos how can he play guitar with me sitting on his lap?)

bigshoulders Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The guy on the right looks like Ty Pennington. And yes, he *does* talk a lot... but he does a lot of good deeds while doing it. Who knew BigRay was such a misanthrope?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 this sounds a little like the rollout for I Am Trying To Break Your Heart on BluRay. "Grainy black and white like you've never seen it before!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
