Ah, The Office. Too funny.

Seriously, I think something is coming promo wise. Probably a bit of loose ends and unanswered questions to wrap up along the lines of Mr. Finck before any official announcement can be made.

maybe they're just 'playing possum' so to speak.  they put the album out against huge competition, expecting all the haters and asshole shit heads to tear it down and make fun of axl.  then when teh shit storm has settled, they roll out the 4th and 5th singles, which are the real big guns. by then, everyone will be sick of trashing cd and axl,a nd will be open to hearing the new music with unbiased ears. 

and THOSE are teh singles for which they'll make videos and do interviews and promotions.  then the album will rocket to the top of the charts because everyone will also have had time to realize how much kanye and new artsists suck. 

it's actually a diabolically brilliant plan.  axl has great managers.

hah....you have an increasingly tenuous relationship with reality....

A local record store here in Louisville, KY called Ear X-Tacy went to Best Buy the day of release and bought probably 20 copies of Chinese Democracy on CD and about 10 on vinyl.

All prices were marked up 50%.  They didn't even bother scraping the exclusive Best Buy sticker off the packaging.  They just stuck a new one over a portion of it.

Friggin hilarious.

More power to 'em if they can move some of those copies.

Best Buy, West Hollywood:








all the best buy stuff wasn't there on sunday, but they did have a large display infront of the main entrance.

there are quite a few billboards along sunsent, a couple on santa monica, i think there were some on melrose, and also posters up along fairfax.

this was what i came home too



every single advertising thing at the station had one of these posters in

edit to add. apparently the train stations at milton keynes and newcastle have loads of these posters too.

Virgin Megastore, Hollywood:


Hey Jarmo or anyone else, why does the album case have an "Import" sticker label on it? Is it because the album is a Best Buy Exclusive and it's being sold at Virgin?

LOL. At my best buy store here in salt lake city, utah, they didn't have anything. they just had the wreck with cd on vinyl and cd as well as the greatest hits collection. I was a little disappointed.

Yeah, they have to buy it from a different distributor to get around the Best Buy exclusive, so they have to pay more money to get it


So Jarmo are you in LA right now?
