The one thing I'm most surprised about is how wonderful the Nowhere Boy soundtrack extract is. I was afraid it would stand out like a sore thumb on the disc but in an odd way it works very well. Only problem now is that I'd ADORE the res…

Wouldn't mind them using that remix to extend the song live That, Sir, is a very nice idea!

I'm loooooving the Moog Remix of Stranger - it really does sound like the FM album and the BC single b-side remixes had an audio child. Alison so nearly forms words in amongst the ooooo-ing and the synth infused audio adds a certain level of …

I'm surprised no ones mentioned the very obvious mistake with the box as a whole though.... Hadn't spotted one and nothing missing unless I've not been concentrating with being at work?

Mine should be being delivered to work and knowing what a bunch of planks they are they will either lose it, break it or just not let me know it's here!! This "being at work" lark does get in the way of real life for us, doesn'…

Mines being delivered to my work address so I'm nervous they'll a) not be able to find the place as it's tucked away in a Newcastle city-centre back street or b) leave it with somebody else from the building if I'm stuck on the p…

Got mine in Canada this morning, it is really beautiful.. My order # was 144 but I got Box #73... This is a good bit of info, DP. Not only is it most lovely (the important bit!) but it backs up the "Order # Box #" equation just as prev…

My email arrived, sadly, but that does mean soooooooon for the box - which is worthy of a \:D/ again.

Again, Stranger, I can only reiterate what I and others have already said - the order number bears no direct link to whether a box is in the signed or unsigned stylee. The orders were received in the original order and marked down at that point for …

Still no shipped email here but I know that doesn't really mean anything in real money. Just feel left out not having one yet! [-O<

How do you feel today?
I am feeling ripped off and cheated out of a signed box set because Sandbag changed my order 488 (signed) to 668 (unsigned). Uncool. I could have spent my € 112,- on something better and just bought the album on iTunes. Screw the goodies. Unsigned i…

Happy fan-boy glow at the moment. Just had a tweet back to me from the wonderful Holly Herndon. She's as lovely as her music is extraordinary, it seems! :)

People beginning with P that are mentioning lack of emails ( :-h ) might want to have a read back. Sandbag only update the order status and send a despatch email once the courier confirms with them those certain items are going out. As couriers usua…

I will be celebrating chritsmas on the 25th of December! If I remember right didn't you do the same last year? Real creature of habit!

Out of intrest what did your order number end in? 440. But from what I gathered back when we ordered the set, the order number wasn't reflected on the order in which people.... ordered. Confusing, yes, but it all seems a bit scrambled. I messa…

If people overseas are getting their orders first, i can't really fault that. It makes sense at this time of year to do it this way. Doesn't make it any less irk-ing though, or any less downright fucking annoying that shipping emails just…

I just called too and spoke to somebody else and had a proper natter with them. I was told similar but a bit more details so here goes...... The first batch that went out were the non-UK ones. This was under instruction from the label as they didn&…

Hmmmmmm.......... Might just give them another call and see if we get the same story as last week. Seems odd that the first folks to order (ie us rabid lot) have had no emails at all between us, even though they've supposedly actioned the firs…

Missing Persons
Have heard back from Jozzy this morning. He'll be back around bit by bit - I'll leave to explain anything as he wants to when he pops by. He's ok and in good spirits, though.

I phoned an hour or so ago and the man I spoke to also said that some had been sent yesterday, some today but when I gave him my order number he said he had no way of knowing which ones had already been sent until the courier service provide them w…

Nope, my error, I've NOT had confirmation of the box being shipped. Just re-read the product ref number on it and it's a whole different kettle of spanners. I've actually had confirmation of them sending a second normal CD in error b…

Nebraska - a brutal film in the gentlest, most honest way. It tells you things you already knew deep down and it says them quietly. Wonderfully paced with a deeply affecting bleak humor. The cinema was filled with hearty laughter and thoughtful quie…
