It has a 2000 copyright date, but the promo sticker on my copy says the release date is 1/22/01. I think usually this means that either the disc was delayed in manufacturing or they held back the release to avoid the holiday rush. I know some distributors refuse to buy indie product in November and December because they need all their money for the end-of-year blockbusters.

Oh, don't let Mark's wearying, sickly single-mindedness reflect on Coupland (think how tired the people on the Coupland list must be of Loud Family references), and absolutely don't judge his writing by extracted sidebar quotes from _Generation X_. I highly recommend _Shampoo Planet_, at least, a charming little novel without any sidebars and not at all academic; plus _Microserfs_ for anybody who has spent time in the computer business. glenn ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2001 02:38:08 -0400 From: Dan McCarthy Subject: Re: [loud-fans] We're only half as far as we need to go At 10:18 AM 7/3/01 -0700, Jer Fairall wrote: >Hey Loudfans! > >Since we're now 1/2 of the way through 2001, how about >hearing some of everyone's favorite albums of the year >so far?

I did have to re-buy it for the two extra tracks (grr). In no particular order, the others: 2.) Autechre, CONFIELD 3.) Plaid, DOUBLE FIGURE 4.) Marillion, ANORAKNOPHOBIA 5.) Ulver, PERDITION CITY I'm sure there are others... Scott Walker's soundtrack to POLA X... boy, I can't really think of anything else that I can be certain was released this year. >Haven't bought yet/Looking forward to: >Anton Barbeau, THE GOLDEN BOOT: ANTOLOGY VOL. 2 >Belle da Gama, GARDEN ABSTRACT ... >Loud Family, FROM RITUAL TO ROMANCE Me too!
