I can see that enrolling myself on this list again is more pain than it's worth. The faulty assumptions on a garden variety of topics and far-flung mind reading are really laughable. Oh wait, this is the internet. Take for instance our friend that flew up to NYC for the Autechre show... hmm... Well, it's not a label's job to make sure that there are t-shirts to sell. The group's designs came late from Europe. With that said, there's going to be merch starting in Chicago, so you can fly on up there if you'd like... or there's always Warpmart. I'm also sorry that we weren't down there in force handing out free copies of the new album to appease you, let alone selected back catalog, postcards for shows that don't yet exist and YOU CAN'T HAND OUT STICKERS AT CLUBS IN NYC WITHOUT PISSING OFF THE OWNERS. That is unless you'd rather Warp artists not be welcome here. We did put some very nice posters up before the show both nights, but unless you were one of the first ten people there each night (and two of you have had to have been women, since I put a couple up in the ladies' room). As far as your inability to recognize the songs because you didn't have "Confield." already, well that's our fault. We decided to make sure the packaging was right for the US, instead of faulty or incomplete. Artists don't care about things like that. Nevermind the fact that they aren't really playing anything from then new album, so you wouldn't have recognized anything you heard anyhow, most likely. Their entire UK tour took place before the album came out over there as well. But, just so some poor soul in the future won't have to suffer the gross injustice you had to endure, next time we'll just cancel those dates leading up to the release date. sounds like a plan :-) KCG __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
