Y A A A A A S

I'm just going to wait until mine arrives... ...but thanks, though!

I'm surprised they still haven't released a DVD. I mean, when has Polydor France ever missed out on an opportunity to make money with Mylène? But the show is really great. I think this might be her darkest yet... And it was so beautiful and amazing live... Have you seen the four-minute trailer?

This is my definition of a lithograph, basically. What I'm interested in is the print... does it look like a poster print from a printer or like it's an actual lithograph à la Wikipedia? In other news, Amazon has apparently set a release date for Night Time, My Time imports. I wouldn't be be surprised if that "import" turned out to be the European print eventually, since many newly added releases on Amazon are first shown as imports but later updated. So... January 28 might be the day. Four months and five days that I preordered the album, to be honest.

I just received the "b-sides" collection. Didn't expect it to arrive any time soon, but surprise! When I opened the envelope and saw "Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time" I said to myself: 'Well, those trolls over at MyPlay Direct aren't that retarded after all...' Only to realise a second later that it was my Amoeba Music order. I instantly went back to despising MyPlay Direct. Besides, I checked and did receive the same e-mail as many of us. No polaroids for me either. I might send them an exclusive stack of polaroids showing the letter bomb from all angles. Each of them with lipstick stains on them and a note reading: "Fuck you very much - angry customer." I reckon I can't deal with rejection from online stores and I should probably work on that. Oh, I have a tiny request for you @SitarHero... could you perhaps take super-detail photos of your lithograph? I would like to see if it's an actual lithograph or not. You know... to have another reason to potentially hate MyPlay Direct.

Can't at the whiny comments. I think it's great.

I just read *RedOne and saw the album title in a completely irritating sonic context.

May I just say:

Oh, she knows... she definitely knows.

I got my monthly e-mail from Amazon saying that no release date had been set for Night Time, My Time (ordered for €10.99). I swear, those guys are just waiting for me to cancel my order - as they "subtly" implied by saying I could do that any time - so they can set a release date and charge everybody ridiculous import fees.

The reason why I'm so mad is that there has been no word on their part about anything. Why am I as a customer supposed to ask how things are going? They must notify me when something changes about the order placed.

I AM ABOUT TO BUY A GUN AND A PLANE TICKET TO MY PLAY DIRECT CITY.

London Grammar - "Hey Now"

Is she for sale too? Or just looking, no touching? I want a shirt like this, by the way. Been looking for a while already online but of course they don't sell that in her f a b u l o u s official store. I just needed to point out the fabulousness of it.

I was generally put off at first seeing "ARTPOP" performed by Gaga and Elton on the piano. Like, what the fuck? But I have to say that it worked out quite well, actually. I liked her rich vocal performance a lot! Although I have to say that the piano arrangements in the beginning of the song felt literally awkward.

They're not so stupid at this little shithole called MyPlay Direct, I've got to say. First they offer "exclusive" packages including the digital album... once those sell out, they put packages up including the physical album. Basically, since you got an autograph for like 20$, why not placing another order to get the physical album? Oh look at them... not so bad in theory. But beyond embarrassing in practice.

Add Rafael to that list and let's be pissed all together. That site is the biggest shit ever. E.V.E.R.

All this is pissing me off tremendously. I ordered the Premium Bundle a while ago, the one that includes instant download of "You're Not the One," digital download of the album, three supposedly one-of-a-kind polaroids and a signed album lithography. This order was refunded with no statement on their part whatsoever. When I confronted them in an angry e-mail sent to their joke of a customer service, they pulled the order up, claiming it was still active but there have been price adjustments. Price adjustments as in... refunding all the money and sending it out for free? Mess. Even messier considering that the audio download of "You're Not the One" could not be opened with any music player available. Total cost: 20.98€ - refunded. Once I saw my money got refunded, I instantly ordered the Deluxe Bundle including basically everything of the Premium Bundle, but missing the polaroids. This order is still active, I guess - who the hell knows, really. It is impossible to check the current status of your orders or see past orders on their site. Now, as a paying customer - regardless of the fact that the digital only album was included - I am majorly pissed because my album download is completely erroneous, as in song endings being abruptly cut off. Total cost: 17.98€. And now I see that a bunch of new bundles are being offered including the physical album, as well as the "b-sides" collection, for a price where I feel like laughing and crying at the same time? Really? Are you fucking kidding me? It's hard enough for an overseas fan to support her because a release date for the physical album I ordered back in September has not been fixed. In addition to all this, I ordered the "b-sides" collection from Amoeba Music for way too much money and had no chance whatsoever to cancel my order. I don't care if Night Time, My Time sees its international release real soon with bonus tracks. I am utterly pissed that I have paid like three times for the same album now, yet haven't seen anything for the money I paid. A butchered and completely fucked version of the album does not count - considering the money paid.

I cannot. This video really sets a visual frame for the album.

Sorry to interrupt ongoing album release discussion but I am having a sudden emotional outburst that I will be ashamed of tomorrow, but I fucking love Sky.

That "Tropico" song might as well be the score of the film... or maybe it's indeed a song considering it was mentioned along with a few other album tracks and suspicious-sounding song titles in the Paradise Edition trailer.

I don't think that a """""""delay""""""" of three days is going to harm anyone. Not even you, at least I hope so.

Looks like Jesus posing with a gay stripper. Just saying.

I don't think I need to explain why I like this song because the lyrics give away everything, basically. It breaks my heart just thinking about it. Here's a translation of the lyrics:
