Maybe they aren't supposed to theoretically ship early so the product arrives before street, but a large number of stores indeed do so, and I believe all stores are allowed to ship so it arrives on the release date (an odd CDnow fact - I remember pre-ordering Massive Attack's Mezzanine from CDnow and seeing it on my doorstep after school the day it was released). For instance, I received my copy of Haunted from Barnes and Noble.com this Monday (although in all fairness, I live in Manhattan and they provide same day shipping, so it shipped on Monday), and that was a big reason I ordered from them. But I have had similar, even better, experiences with other stores like buy.com and Amazon (although they can be fickle sometimes) on both music and dvd advance orders. I got Braveheart and North By Northwest (2 great dvds, by the way) on the Monday before the release date, and they shipped the Wednesday before. In fact, one of the reasons I pre-order stuff, besides getting often getting it cheaper, Circuit City sale nothwithstanding :(, is that I get it early. I have gotten into the whole dvd shabang, and it turns out that many online retailers do indeed ship so that their customers receive their dvds the Friday, Saturday, or Monday before the release date. Those that don't ship before street are considered slow and makes many reluctant to buy from them in the future. This shipping practice is a very open and accepted one. I definitely know that the dvd industry does not frown on shipping a product reasonably early. I am assuming for the most part that the music and dvd industries are similar in their actions/reactions to early shipping, of course. Maybe I'm totally off. Of course, it all depends on the store, but I'd say the majority of online retailers participate in this practice. I'm not an exec so I couldn't say what they think. But the fact that the retailers are doing it right under their noses with no crackdowns seems like implicit approval to me. this post is getting way too long.

Jobe" Subject: Poe and my intro - ---I just picked up "Haunted" yesterday and I have to say that it is the best thing I've heard in years(about five). I'm so happy that Poe is back. I can only pray that she comes to the always eventful(insert sarcasm here) state of Oklahoma. So please, if you haven't already, buy the album(hell, buy two), like Poe said in the chat the other night, the money from these albums go to pay for her tour. So even if you got it off Napster, go ahead and buy it too. - ---Btw was anyone else as happy I was when I saw how far up on the thank you's list the AP's were? - ---I've put this off for long enough, but since everyone else is, here's some info on me. - ---The name is J.R. Jobe (no J.R. doesn't stand for anything.) I'm 20 years old and I've been a fan of Poe's since about '97 and an AP since about last week. The reason it took me so long to become a member is simply that I didn't have a computer. But now that I'm a happy Angry Psycho, I can say that I am a part of easily the best fan base any artist could hope to have. - ---Besides Poe, I also like a few other bands(too many to list), but to give you some idea of what I like: I like hardcore rock, rap(not this new sh!t but the classics like N.W.A.), anything that slightly resembles Poe's music(I don't know about anybody else but I really like Dido's cd "No Angel"), and sorry in advance because I know some of you probably don't like these guys at all, but yes I like the Insane Clown Posse(what am I gonna do? they make me laugh!) - ---I'm glad I finally did that, sorry if it was lenghthy but once a thought begins to come out I can't stop until I'm done. Thanks for reading this and I hope to see some of you soon. - ---Jobe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? From homework help to love advice, Yahoo!

I thought there was some way to get around waiting, but release dates are release dates. The artists can't even get them early a lot of the time.

The Haunting Return of Poe It wasn't the scheduled Halloween release date that prompted Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Poe to title her new album Haunted. It was the lingering ghost of her father, documentary filmmaker Tad Danielewski, who passed away in January of 1993 but contributes to the album from the great beyond through the wonders of sampling. Poe was able to include her father on Haunted after discovering a personal treasure chest filled with cassettes containing his voice. But listening to them the first time proved so difficult that she was hesitant to open the Pandora's Box. "I took these tapes home and I couldn't listen to them," Poe explains. "It was too hard, so I kept finding ways to avoid it. They were sitting on my coffee table next to a boombox." Once she eventually succumbed to the temptation of the tapes, she could not stop listening to them. As she anticipated, the cassettes brought forth a tidal wave of emotions in her. "Listening to these tapes was just an amazing process of understanding him, my relationship to him, my relationship to his death and his life outside of being my parent," she says. Sitting in a downtown Los Angeles loft during a particularly hot August day, the lanky Poe examines openly what these cassettes mean to her. In her candor she admits that hearing his voice again also triggered self-doubts that stem from their relationship. Like Alvie Singh at the end of Woody Allen's Annie Hall, Poe chose to use her art as a way to rewrite history, rather than just relive it. "I got this little girl, this daughter of a friend of mine, to come in and create these kind of remembered conversations with my father," she says. The CD closes with reconciliation between Poe and her father in the form of the beautiful flamenco-flavored, acoustic song "If You Were Here." It begins with an exchange between father and daughter that goes, "What is it, Annie?" "I miss you." (Annie is Poe's previously well-hidden real name). At the track's dramatic climax, Poe follows a sample of her father by fighting back tears as she says, "I love you." The little girl then pronounces, "It's OK, you can go now," followed by a brief swell of dramatic orchestration. It's a tearjerker moment. "If You Were Here" was one of four songs from the new album Poe performed at a recent in-store at Border's Books & Music in Westwood, Calif. There is a special significance to Poe making the appearance at a store whose title contains the words books and music. Earlier this year, Poe's brother, Mark Z. Danielewski, released the critically acclaimed novel House of Leaves. Some have called the album a companion to the novel, though it's more accurate to say Haunted and House of Leaves hold a similar sensibility based on Poe and her brother's shared history. Danielewski joined Poe at the Borders stop, which is part of a larger tour the two are doing together where they take turns reading and singing. Near the end of the hour-long set, which contained a lot of talk of their father and their past, Danielewski quipped, "I know there's been a lot of melancholy talk here, but there's a lot of sex, drugs and rock & roll in the middle of the book and the album." Indeed, as easy as it is to get lost in the gripping story of the lost tapes of Poe's father and the family history explored in Haunted, that is only one aspect of the remarkable album. It is a diverse, sonically challenging record that fully delivers on the promise of Poe's gold debut, Hello. While there is plenty of sentimentality on Haunted, fans of Poe's first hit, "Angry Johnny," will also find an abundance of the provocative and alluring sexuality that characterized that song's chorus of "I wanna blow you...away." Haunted is rich with enticing hooks and memorable beats, as evidenced on the seductive title track (which also appears over the ending credits in Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2), the in-your-face "Control," the repetitious beat of "Walk the Walk," and the sexy, dance rhythms of "Not a Virgin Anymore." But the most impressive aural achievement for Poe and co-producer Olle Romo (a disciple of Mutt Lange as well as former Eurythmics drummer) is the multi-layered "Wild," a nearly eight-minute, guitar-heavy, psychedelic opus that Poe says is the culmination of something she has always wanted to do. "'Wild' is also the thing I'm most excited about doing live because 'Wild' is the beginning, more than the end, of an idea I've always had, which is to do a show where you bring in all these different cultures of music. You start a song, there's a pretty guitar part, and a vocal, and you go through a song that's very song-like, and then end up turning the place into a rave for six minutes. I think that is just awesome to deconstruct your own songs into remixes within the context of the same show," she says. That she is thinking in terms of how the songs will come across on stage is a small victory; it means she is ready, to some extent, to let the album go into the world and be heard after two meticulous years of working on Haunted. "I realized early on that this record was going to tell me when it was done. It wasn't so much up to me. It was like this was my baby and it screamed and cried for certain things," she says. Although she is excited about getting the album out, there is still some apprehension on her part, just because it is so close to her. For that reason, she vows to avoid looking at reviews, good or bad. But there is one person's opinion, other than Poe's, that is worth heeding. What would her father think of Haunted? "That's so hard to answer," she answers after a moment's consideration. "I would hope in some way that he would be proud, but both these works are so personally connected to who he was, to his history, that I don't know . . . I did have a sense somehow that I had his blessing. And I do get a kick out of the idea that if any of these songs that had his voice in it were an actual single and I heard it on the radio, I would feel like I had accomplished the best thing possible. If I were driving down the street and I heard my dad blaring out of the radio -- 'It's a wonderful idea, it just doesn't work' -- I would veer off the road. It would be so cool."
