there must be a way out of here, said the joker to the thief

Even though I technically really couldn't afford it, I just ordered Who Killed Amanda Palmer? and the Repo! The Genetic Opera soundtrack from Amazon. I'm such a criminal usually when it comes to getting music but these two I just had to buy. Amanda said to buy it, and since she's usually so okay about people just downloading the Dresden Dolls stuff ( Read more... )

buyings things i can't afford, the dresden dolls, soundtracks, repo!, music, amazon sucks balls

*laughs* *coughs* I just downloaded those.

I'm looking forward to listening to both of them, and I'm glad Amanda's okay with people downloading DD stuff (which, oddly enough, I actually bought. Go fig.), I actually only like the one DD album, so I'm all "must.listen.before.buying." with her solo album.

Repo...ah. Again, listening before buying. I HATE so many of the things I've downloaded, that if I wasted money on them, I'd have ended up hating myself. And totally broke with nothing to show but a crappy CD collection. BUT I've heard Paris sing in a trailer somewhere, and her voice fit and didn't sound half-bad, considering the setting and what was going on. I actually thought Sarah Brightman sounded horrible, and was thinking it was Paris instead. (Woman walking down the street, singing? I thought that was Paris. Nope! Sarah. Whoops. Bad Brightman fan.)

Delivery estimate: October 30, 2008 - November 20, 2008
- *blinks* Okay, I know you live far away from other continents, but that definitely sounds insane.

Paris sounds terrible from the bits I've heard, but luckily she's only in about three songs. Whoo hoo! Anthony Stewart Head singing makes naughty pants feelings though. Mmmmm. And Graverobber as wel! God, he's sexy. You should watch 'Zydrate Anatomy' on YouTube because it's awesome *uses correct icon*

The version of At The Opera Tonight that they use on the trailer sounds a little bit wonky, and Sarah doesn't sound great in it at all, but she's much better in the other songs I've got.

I know, right?? Apparently I might as well live on Venus. I might have got them to send it quicker, but I'm already paying twenty bucks for the postage so I think I shall just wait.

I'm speechless when it comes to Amanda's CD. I'm four songs into it, and it's amazing. Definitely putting it on my 'to buy' list.

I'm scanning through the Repo thing for something Paris sings (Sarah sounds SO MUCH BETTER. Yay!), and heh, they've pretty much buried her, which I find amusing. ...Ohhhh. Breathy, but she doesn't sound as bad as I expected. (Matt had her solo album, and I swear my ears bled.)

Want me to upload a good quality version of 'Zydrate Anatomy'? I was actually listening to it before I saw you mentioned it, but I was only listening to it due to Paris. *g* (But oh.dear.GOD. is it Tony singing in a really deep and gravelly voice when he's the Repo Man? 'Cause there's this song now about peeling off skin inch by inch, and it's freaky as hell. Not that song, but a different one, I should add.)

And Graverobber as wel! God, he's sexy.- ...*coughs* He's something, all right. *discreetly favorites YouTube* (Um. There's a specific song you should listen to, 'Needle Through a Bug'? He sings all deep, and it's just...*shivers ( ... )

Amanda is amazing. Glee, I cannot wait to have it all. I've got the download link just waiting for my attention.

I'm glad to hear they've buried her in most of it. I honestly don't even know why she's in it. The director said that she was amazing in the audition but considering the fact that she can't sing... yeah, she's the only thing I'm not in love with about this movie.

I've already hot a copy of Zydrate, in fact I've got an earlier copy that doesn't have Paris singing in it and is in all ways vastly superior to the version they play in the movie. Oh well :( (If you want to find that one it will be called 'Zytrate' instead.)

Yep, that is Tony doing the growling as well. Hot hot hot. He does his normal sexy voice for when he's being Nathan and that other creepy voice when he's being Repo Man and mmmm, I want to do all sorts of things to that man. Take me, Giles!

- Ohhhh yes. And speaking of "naughty pants feelings", want that Music For Elevators now?Hahah, we're right at the tail end of our broadband again. Man, I wish we hadn' ( ... )

Yeah, buying SPN s3 from there was expected to take a month to arrive. It ended up being a little less, but still. S'why I much prefer buying from Amazon UK, cos their postage is cheaper and quicker. American postage is mental, both in cost and time.

They DISPLEASE me. It's in capslock and everything so you know it's true.

Grr! They're all stupid. With their stupid taxes and insanely low minimum wage, it's no wonder their economy's going down the toilet.

I've just found I could have bought the Amanda Palmer through UK, although no Repo. Oh well.

Right, I'm getting one through each since it ends up cheaper for me!

Amazon is evil. It's making me use my credit card that I'm trying not to use!

(Me toooo! I loved that whole ending of season three with the music over it. My god, SO MUCH.)

Did you download REPO! as well? Cos if not do so, you need to listen to it now. Like. Now. I am somewhat in love with the soundtrack, and I was already in love with it. So good. I'm saving my money on a hard copy (I bought a digital copy) til the full soundtrack comes out, which will apparently be either mid-October or January, which is a massive gap for me.
Paris has one solo song of, like, 35 seconds. It's all good. She's on a few other songs, but from what I can hear, nothing major. Anthony Head sounds so bloody lovely on all of his. Mmmm. And Graverobber, of course ♥

So there is a full one coming out then? Good! I thought it was just going to be this 22-song one and I was SURE I remembered there being mention of a longer one.

I want to download it RIGHT NOW but I can't until the TENTH or I'll run over our bandwidth. I am DYING.

Yeah, apparently so. I can't remember where I read it, but I read it. Somewhere.
Nooooo, damn bandwidth! Luckily we have unlimited downloads, I'd be sad if I didn't have that at least.
