it's not showing up in any of the online store databases.

baked goods is the uk distributor for KIN, so Boomkat will definately be the first to stock it.

"teach me how to fight" is particularly amazing.

― toby (tsg20), Saturday, 22 May 2004 06:26 (nineteen years ago) link

trying to work out what to say about this album that isn't essentially a reiteration of my earlier comments on the group
Tim, you wouldn't believe how many journalists have been in touch to say something similar.

In case I didn't make it clear, I absolutely love Bellona, and More than Real is one that stands out on vinyl - they both work in clubs. Also I'm sure this has something to do with what Bellona's about (although i'm not sure jeremy would agree)

too expensive

― rs, Monday, 31 May 2004 17:05 (nineteen years ago) link

eh? thats just what records cost now (in the UK anyway).

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 31 May 2004 17:19 (nineteen years ago) link

i was blind, now i can see, the Junior Boys album made a believer out of me...

― martin (martin), Monday, 31 May 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

as usual I am late to the party, but I'm really liking this album this morning

play.com
http://www.play.com/play247.asp?source=676&page=title&r=CDJ&Cur=257&title=172261

have the Junior Boys album for £ 9.99 [free delivery to the UK]

However they normally source CDs from suppliers outside of the UK, and have the album down for June 21st. Play.com trade from Channel Islands = no VAT to pay ..therefore cheaper.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 12:48 (nineteen years ago) link

i can't believe this thread has gone on so long and nobody has mentioned TEARS FOR FEARS yet (okay, jess and Ned did come close to doing so)

come on ppl, it's freakin' obvious!

(the comparison's a compliment btw)

― zebedee (zebedee), Sunday, 6 June 2004 12:23 (nineteen years ago) link

boomkat, have the album for £9.99

*** ATTENTION - those who've requested links for places to buy it in the on-line states - try Ear-Rational
+ Forced Exposure / Other Music / Bent Crayon will be stocking it next week

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 6 June 2004 17:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I will buy this despite the annoying fake .mp3s that have circulated!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 6 June 2004 17:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Nick, when will it be in the actual real life shops?

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 6 June 2004 18:19 (nineteen years ago) link

it's in the shops tmmw morning but I've already seen a few copies on sale in the independent shops. A few chains are taking it, just go in and ask for it.

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 6 June 2004 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

hey nick tell your band to email me back

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 6 June 2004 19:43 (nineteen years ago) link

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 6 June 2004 19:43 (nineteen years ago) link

i still don't see this on forced assposure.. WHAT THE DEAL

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 15:46 (nineteen years ago) link

the 2 shops i went into today didnt have it - Fopp and Rub-a-Dub - i bought the 2 singles from Fopp and they guy said the album wasn't even on the database or the "about to be released" list.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

The UK distributor is:

Baked Goods

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Boomkat dispatched mine today.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 18:57 (nineteen years ago) link

So, can I pick this up in Toronto or do I have to get it off the net? They'll be selling it at NxNE right?

― bee bop, Tuesday, 8 June 2004 19:21 (nineteen years ago) link

nick was nice enough to agree to send a copy to my station. i will purchase my own copy when I get a job.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 19:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Was that CD singles or 12"s for the singles, jed? How much?

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 19:55 (nineteen years ago) link

album of the year for me at the moment, edging The Streets and Kerrier District

― Paul (scifisoul), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe me too. This or Wiley.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 20:20 (nineteen years ago) link

i bought the 2 singles from Fopp and they guy said the album wasn't even on the database

N., i should have said I had PREVIOUSLY bought the singles from fopp. they were a fiver each but this was a while back - they dont have them in stock at the moment. They may still have them in stock in Rub A Dub but they will probably be £7 in there.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 21:01 (nineteen years ago) link

That's rub a dub.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

I Had trouble getting the Album , unavailable in Hmv/Fopp, but finally came across it in select-a-disc (Berwick st)

― marc read, Wednesday, 9 June 2004 08:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Try the independent shops first.. then the chains.
btw - it'll be MOJO's Dance Album of the Month in August...

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 9 June 2004 08:09 (nineteen years ago) link

another version of Bellona is up on http://www.electrokin.com/listen/stream/. Different to the one on Fluxblog

― dot, Friday, 11 June 2004 16:53 (nineteen years ago) link

have these junior boys never seen the artwork on bedhead's albums?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 16:58 (nineteen years ago) link

have bedhead ever heard of Tschioldi?

― nick.K (nick.K), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 17:26 (nineteen years ago) link

'tschichold' literally wrote the book on that kind of design

― nick.K (nick.K), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 17:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Is the first album where the liner notes mention the word "Bloggers"? Sign of the times.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 17:42 (nineteen years ago) link

'tschichold' literally wrote the book on that kind of design

but did he record an album?

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 17:48 (nineteen years ago) link

n.m.e. didn't review it...

― nick.K (nick.K), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 21:43 (nineteen years ago) link

"The (to date) quiet rise of the Junior Boys is well-documented in the virtual world of the blogosphere, which for the most part has gone totally bonkers for the Ontario trio"

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 11:19 (nineteen years ago) link

josh and i are now both fully bonkers.

tho if i can ask an impertinent q, can someone clear up the ur-high come down ep thing? there's an early version, yes?

― g--ff (gcannon), Thursday, 17 June 2004 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

there is a sound on 'last exit' (just betw. the intro and the vocal's entrance), a little synth fall, that is straight out of the goonies, I swear.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 26 June 2004 17:14 (nineteen years ago) link

not 'last exit', I meant 'birthday'.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 26 June 2004 17:14 (nineteen years ago) link

get a hold of yourself.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Sunday, 27 June 2004 18:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i bought Kompakt 100 instead - money is tight and i had to choose.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 27 June 2004 19:31 (nineteen years ago) link

So is Last Exit officially released now? If so, how much does the distribution suck?

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 28 June 2004 00:21 (nineteen years ago) link

ALOT!

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 28 June 2004 00:25 (nineteen years ago) link

I got my copy in Fopp (Aberdeen) a couple of weeks ago. I was going to order it from Boomkat, but I just thought I'd nip in for a look on the off-chance ... and they had it.

― coco, Monday, 28 June 2004 09:31 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not difficult to find in Fopp. they got about three copies on vinyl in each shop.

There are still three in Edinburgh...l
