thanks, all!

alex: i never saw you last year, when i lived in SF! i'll be back soon for a visit -- we should hang out then.

geeta, Monday, 12 October 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link

Definitely. Email me when you are in town.

Alex in SF, Monday, 12 October 2009 23:28 (fourteen years ago) link

anyone read the Nick Drake one?

piscesx, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 11:39 (fourteen years ago) link

if you order it this week, i've been told that you'll get it in the mail next week.

...so the feb 2010 delivery date amazon emailed me is probably not correct?

willem, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link

willem -- order from amazon.com (amazon US) if you want the book now. feb 2010 sounds wildly wrong, in any case.

the book is out this week in the US. in the UK and europe, it's delayed from the US by six weeks.

geeta, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 19:47 (fourteen years ago) link

Um, Amazon US still lists it only available as pre-order, and does not give a release date:

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link

Whoops, release date is 10/15, supposedly, which is ... Thursday? Really?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 19:57 (fourteen years ago) link

yes, it's released on thursday, so if you pre-order it now, you'll definitely get it in the mail next week.

geeta, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 21:04 (fourteen years ago) link

whoops, well i ordered it on the 12th through amazon.co.uk, i'll see it when it comes

yesterday, for the first time, i saw a small segment on the shelves in the local bookstore dedicated to the series! bought master of reality and the vu & n books with some coupons i got. halfway through john's book and it's a good read. (john = gary?)

willem, Friday, 16 October 2009 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link

J0hn = G.O.A.T.

wot?? (Ioannis), Friday, 16 October 2009 14:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Still no "Another Green World." Still listed on Amazon as a pre-order.

:(

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 22 October 2009 18:43 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, its like a tease at this point.

Weird.

kshighway1, Thursday, 22 October 2009 20:15 (fourteen years ago) link

Are any of these on torrents? I know that is a dick question to ask but i am broke..

Adam Bruneau, Thursday, 22 October 2009 20:55 (fourteen years ago) link

so are the writers

Bobby Wo (max), Thursday, 22 October 2009 20:56 (fourteen years ago) link

Especially if they don't take the books of pre-order status!

Seriously though, wanting to download these books? Fuck off with that.

i got nothin (deej), Thursday, 22 October 2009 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link

deej, it's ok. it's not like many of the series' authors post to ILX, so they'll never find out anyway.

kshighway1, Thursday, 22 October 2009 23:54 (fourteen years ago) link

My first bit of promotion: I wrote one about Flaming Lips' Zaireeka & it's supposed to come out next month. Don't settle for the bootleg version.

Should've seen this coming, but currently on Amazon's Zaireeka page:

"Amazon.com Sales Rank: #300,206 in Books (See Bestsellers in Books)

Popular in this category: (What's this?)
#13 in Books > History > Africa > Democratic Republic of Congo"

BleepBot, Monday, 26 October 2009 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link

#13! Thank god for specialty charts, hey?

adam, libraries are legal and free!

anyone read the Nick Drake one?

― piscesx, Tuesday, 13 October 2009 11:39 (2 weeks ago)

I have a page in it, proudly. Also, I think Amanda did a gret job w/it.

Sorry Amazon is being slow.

The Strand Bookstore in NYC has the Eno book in stock: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/profile/?isbn=0826427863

Atomic Books also has my book in stock: http://www.atomicbooks.com/index.php/music-we-like-mostly/outsider-experimental/33-volume-67-brian-eno-green-world.html

Powells should be coming through this week. And hopefully the Amazon situation will get sorted out pronto as well.

And please, don't get the book on torrent! The book only costs around 8 dollars, I lost a lot of money writing it, and I'm a music journalist, so you probably have some idea of my shaky finances!

geeta, Tuesday, 27 October 2009 18:35 (fourteen years ago) link

dang it, i just ordered it from Amazon UK and they estimate a Feb. 2, 2010 dispatch date. so i guess i'll be reading it next year then. ;-)

the not-fun one (Ioannis), Tuesday, 27 October 2009 18:53 (fourteen years ago) link

i asked about it when i was at borders and it looked like it had a november release date, weird. i'll get it from amazon or powell's when it's up there.

Ømår Littel (Jordan), Tuesday, 27 October 2009 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link

A magazine paid me actual $ to publish my rejected 33 1/3 proposal. And it's available for free on my blog. No torrents necessary!

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 09:05 (fourteen years ago) link

Link please.

Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 09:19 (fourteen years ago) link

And congrats! That's awesome!

Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 09:21 (fourteen years ago) link

Email me. I send link.

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 09:42 (fourteen years ago) link

Sent you an email via ILX.

Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:00 (fourteen years ago) link

Ask and ye shall receive.

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:03 (fourteen years ago) link

also sent.

the not-fun one (Ioannis), Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:08 (fourteen years ago) link

a short film about Kevin and John.

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:16 (fourteen years ago) link

a search for album title and your name also works. never heard of the band or read any lovecraft but your description of the music makes me want to find out more. apart from that, i thought that's a terrific proposal and if i were etc... let's say i hope that one day you'll be able to write the book.

willem, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:19 (fourteen years ago) link

Thanks Willem! I felt very passionate about it til I got rejected. Then I thought about ten new projects :)

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:22 (fourteen years ago) link

hey, you snooze you lose.

xp

:)

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:28 (fourteen years ago) link

xxpost I didn't know the album title, though.

a short film about Kevin and John.

???

Kevin John Bozelka, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:30 (fourteen years ago) link

Just a joke because John wrote to me right after you.

Nate Carson, Wednesday, 28 October 2009 10:33 (fourteen years ago) link

@Geeta (& New Yorkers): GOT IT! thanks for The Strand tip (how appropriate name-wise). it's stacked on a table near (beside/behind) the music section, not on shelves. already enjoying from the Q-ride home - more feedback soon!

Paul, Thursday, 29 October 2009 16:00 (fourteen years ago) link

Awesome, Paul! I stopped by St. Mark's Bookshop and they had some copies of my Eno book too, in the music section.

geeta, Thursday, 29 October 2009 16:05 (fourteen years ago) link

just chiming in way late to the party to say that john d's 'master of reality' is fucken awesome

Nanobots: HOOSTEEND (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Thursday, 29 October 2009 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

The Green World book's not out till January in the UK. Sadface.

exploding angel vagina (Scik Mouthy), Thursday, 29 October 2009 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link

Looks like Amazon finally has it available for reals, for reals.

We call them "meat hemorrhoids" (Alex in SF), Friday, 30 October 2009 13:10 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, it's about time! As of this morning, Amazon.com officially has the Eno book in stock, with no shipping delays. That certainly took them long enough.
