I'm skeptical that Nothing would pull a dick manoeuver like this, or that
Warp would go along with it.
But if it's true, I might be able to pick up a few copies of the release
while I'm in Britain at the end of July. Interested parties please contact
me.
Ho, ho -- I can just imagine the kinds of conversations with US Border
Patrol thugs I'd be having on the return trip:
--
Hearing the click-clack of plastic on plastic as I walk through
Inspections, the guard points to my bagpack and asks, "What's that in your
bag, sir?"
"What? Who, me?"
"Yes; please step aside, sir." Pulls on a latex glove with a snap.
Well, I think, I'm fucked now. "Erm... To be honest, I'm no good at lying:
they're CD cases filled with varying amounts of crack cocaine and heroin."
Reluctant pause. "Alright." A disappointed look on his face as he pulls off
the glove. "Move along, then. We're on the lookout for sleasy characters
who're smuggling pure Autechre into the country."
"No problem, sir -- just doing your job."
"That stuff is Schedule V, you know. Nasty stuff -- rots the brain right to
the stem."
"Right. Nice chatting with you." etc.
