Ah excellent, ta very much.
Someone please upload these to Youtube or make them available to download for those of us who have already purchased one version and refuse to buy another just for the extra videos

If only they were actually miming, rather than just standing still and half-arsedly occasionally moving their limbs and mouths.

Also they have something to show the Grandchildren in about 40 years time

And the grandchildren will say 'nanny, why are you half-arsedly moving your mouth instead of miming properly?'

Hi

I'm one of those fans that just can't post here often... sorry for that...
But it would too much for asking to someone here to post some photos of the artwork, the poster and other stuff from NT? I'm from Brazil and my order didn't arrived yet... I bought the 2CD and the 2CD+DVD with posters from Townsend... And my worries about the dvd quality is making me think about buying the itunes lp version, if it in fact has a great quality...

the Forever Delayed DVD is going for a pretty decent price over at amazon and a few pounds more over at HMV. i pick on those two because they are the only ones i am aware of that ship worldwide.

for those who don't have it; order it. off the top of my head, you get things like both versions of You Love Us, and i am pretty sure all (if not more) of the remixes that appeared on the SE of the CD release, with some not too bad visuals to go with it.

Anyone?

Well, I have to say I'm rather annoyed with hmv's online team. I ordered the deluxe edition with the single ages ago and got the dispatched email last week, but got home today to find a normal deluxe with no extra disc. I phoned customer services who apologised but said there wasn't anything that could be done as they'd somehow ran out and offered me a return/refund which I decided against as the disc was an extra. This all said, the photos in the book look really nice. I read the 'horror' stories about the DVD being badly encoded or that - maybe I'll make my own using the iTunes LP videos and the Forever Delayed DVD.

Yes, the videos aren't the best - they've totally messed up Motorcycle Emptiness and Faster.

OMG, this sounds scary... Although I preordered the special edition/HMV offer thingie like in early september, they haven't dispatched it until Oct. 31 and the item appeared as 'awaiting stock' or something... I gladly paid the extra £ in order to get the CD single, otherwise I would've ordered it much cheaper from play.com (and in Euros, ie no commission on my credit card).

Here's to 7-10 of stress until the package shows up.

I've never heard an edit of the song like that before. Maybe they wanted to make it extra crap especially for this DVD. It would have taken effort on their part to mess it up like that.

[everlasting]

Album is placed at #7 in the midweeks. Probably end up about 12 at this rate and then disappear quickly

[Aestivate]

At #3 on the Asda shelves

By the way CD2 is better than CD1 by a mile

It is dire. Really dire. You can even hear where they've roughly faded it together.
