Me too and it's only 8:something here. Yay!! Twin, I have no idea on your questions... I might ponder them later, but right now I just wanna listen to Clay. I might fix your avvy in a few days... the digital booklet is just a shorter version of the CD liner notes. it's a pdf file. Nothing you haven't seen.

Ahhh, but you were there in spirit! I did your ticket proud & screamed/cheered/laughed/clapped loud enough for the both of us - and then some! :F_05BL17blowkiss: :F_05BL17blowkiss: I'm so glad you went and had fun! Yay, yay, yay!!! WooT, Congratulations, Thankful!! Hee. Love that!

At the bottom of the Newsday review you linked, Claygasm, MsMarm found this line: I'll take it. Yay, I got the streaming to work on IE.

Yay, thanks for thinking of me!!! Oh, no wonder I have a bit of a hangover... I thought it was the cookies I had for dinner. I love every single song. Seriously. There's not one I will skip. I don't even know how to put them in order because they are all so different from each other. You can't compare Ashes or the growly EIDN or the synth in Falling to SAU or Sacrifical Love or the simplicity and guitar string squeaks in Grace of God. Well, maybe you can, but I can't. Strangely, LAA in this context even got under my skin a little. I love it all. No monkey!

It was worth it to meee!!! Especially since that stream doesn't work on my computer, demmit! Hey everyone, don't forget to stream the AOL Listening party... you can hear the whole CD!!! It's AWESOME! http://music.aol.com/songs/new_releases_full_cds WooT!! /penance Last night was a thrill-ride. And I wasn't even there. Thanks to everyone for so generously sharing your experiences with those of us who couldn't make it. You all rock!!

Happy early Birthday, Clayzor! Lunch sounds delish! :fest09: From farouche:

play, I appreciate that you edited a bit... you didn't need to on my account, but I do appreciate that you considered what you said. I do understand what you're saying, but I think it's a different world these days. I downloaded the music, uploaded it to a sendspace and gave whoever wanted it the files that way, so no haters were laughing at me... and honestly, fuck 'em if they were. We share; if one person on a board can't buy it, I've no doubt that many of us have made up for that times at least six. I know I have. When I was a kid, we made cassettes for each other (heh, so maybe it's not really a different world after all). And when we could afford it, we got the album for the cover and the better quality recording and just to have it. As for "legal" or "moral" clack... no such thing. It doesn't matter if it's for sale; it doesn't belong to us. Every concert, every AI taping... all stolen, if you really want to get technical about it. T-shirts, pins... all of it. I do believe most of what is leaked is done purposely. I actually got google alerts that there were downloads of the album available, so it's not like it's hidden in some sekrit place. Or even that anyone needed to search the p2p sites. It came delivered via google to my mailbox. I have no problem being excited on May 6th. I want the CD... the quality of it; the tangibleness of it, the cover... I wanna pop it into my car and put the top down and siiiiing. So yeah, the early download isn't stealing my thunder for actual release at all... it's just foreplay, and for me, cuz I'm the type that takes a while to settle into things (teeth, hair, songs, first reactions and all that), it's actually good for me to have a head start. Not to burst any bubbles, but those ads are pulls from guptamedia. Nobody directly places ads on their sites, really. They just pull from advertising feeds, based on the tags incorporated into the ad and the topic of your own website or blog. It's great that those ads are appearing on so many sites all over though. The positive power of the internets at play. I don't remember that question about the commission being posed to Clay, KF, but I agree wholeheartedly with your point. My emotions are all over the place about the ending of Spamalot and the beginning of a new era of musicality from Clay. I'm alternately sad and happy and jellus and proud and excited and wishing I was there and, and, and... you name it! This pic from dancermom got to me... it's from last night... Clay owns that alley right now. And tonight he'll say good-bye to it. And that's the LEAST of it. Have a kick-ass time today/tonight everyone. Represent! Clay says he's not gonna shed a tear... yeah, right. Hell, I'll probably well up and I'm not even there. Not just yours... good point! {{{scarlett}}}, you are such a wise woman.

So that means you don't have any clack downloaded? Or the TITN video (the leaked one), or any copyrighted pictures saved on your hard drive? Never involved in a cellcert... nothing of the sort. Never passed around downloads of copyrighted television shows? Nah... Cuz, you know, that would be stealing. Thanks for calling me names, tho. I appreciate that.

Cuz one's for me! Have a glass for me, you lovely beyotches! I wish I was in that room with you. *pout* Have fun, everyone there. I'm getting all sentimental-like. Don't tell couchie! She HATES when I get like this. Hee. Two fingers. Awww. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Two big crape myrtles down, two japanese maples to go... :F_05BL17blowkiss: liney and jmh! Not dead yet... (but feelin' seventy). For the librarians from Betty897x

I ran across a few blogs with links to download the CD... personally I think anyone invested enough to seek out and d/l an early leaked copy will definitely be buying the (probably multiples) CD anyway, so I don't think it's too much of a big deal. All albums leak early. I'm surprised this one took so long actually. I'm starting to feel a little jellus of the lucky Spam-goers this weekend too. I can't believe it's over when it just started. Have fun, everyone!! I'm gonna go enjoy the weekend... the weather is perfect here and I have trees that need planting!

Don't know, Twin, but I'll ask this weekend and if they do I'll get you one! Yay, thanks!! :F_05BL17blowkiss: And thanks for the confirmation, play!

Did they get any more magnets? Does anyone know?

The million dollar question. The answer is very, very, very long. Thanks for sharing! I'm jellus, of course, but I enjoyed the vicarious journey very much. And I think on that note, I'm hittin' the hay. :F_05BL17blowkiss:

From CV... Looks like Wes's (the guitarist) schedule gives clues to new appearances on May 9th and 13th. and aol sessions on the 13th and EEEH! I guess we have our answer, to whether he is performing..everything but kimmel

I don't think she meant anything dire, Iseeme. Just a need to process her day. Thanks for your recap, CG.... and for your calling muski to share the dish. That's a nice detail about TRM and him singing it for the hostess chick. On my teevee I didn't think Clay came off tired or low key or anything, barring full-on wonky eye, which is adorable anyway! I've seen many people say that tho, so it's not just you. I just felt like he dialed it back a tad in the interview parts to fit on that particular show. I remember Clay being a pretty good read on how to play a room. And I just figured that's what he was doing. He may have been tired, tho... cuz the guy is putting in a pretty crazy schedule, and this is nap day. LOL! But he seemed happy and playful enough, and after the first maybe five minutes (when he babbled a bit... hee!), he seemed really comfortable and confident with what he was doing too. I think his hair looked pretty good too... especially at the beginning of TRM after he ran his hand through it. YUM! He definitely bobbled a few notes, but nothing horrible -- it's live singing after all. I thought his voice sounded particularly good, especially on TRM and SAU. Yes, SAU is one of my favorites, and today was AWESOME! I really liked EIDN too - OMG, the growly parts and the falsettos mixed in... HOT! The other one (not OMWH) was just so-so for me, but I'll have to listen again, because honestly, I don't remember it. I think he hypnotized me with the way he was holding the mic at the end of it. LOL! Ya know what's weird tho... the stream sounded way better than the TV at my house. I actually turned off my TV and went back to the stream to hear it -- it was just richer or something. I understand the studio sound was wacky. Too bad. If you go to QVC and listen to it on the computer, I'd be interested to know if that sounded better to you vs. the studio. I don't think about what the appearance meant to his sales, particularly. It's part of a promotional package. One part of a whole, I guess. I'm way past worrying about his sales. I don't even buy when I'm supposed to or more than one or anything anymore. Well, unless I actually WANT more than one. Good to hear from the travelers!! ...and everything KAndre said too! LOL!

God, he looked/sounded frickin' good on that song.

I'm fucking dying! I fucking love this song! Squeeeeeeeeeee! x a kabillion OMG, the ending.

Aww, I just saw a dimple!

Squeeeeeeeeeeee! Is that Sean? Who's the cute guitarist? He sounds good. Who's on the piano? Who are these people?!? Hee. *nervous wreck*

Ok, yeah, I might not be able to even imagine how these women can do this job, BUT...they sure are selling him and sincerely, so you gotta love that. Bwah!

They just said he was gonna be on in a few minutes... God, people watch this crap all day? Clay must be dying! I can't believe that woman just said, "tell us about your love of the sak". Lucky that wasn't Muski. Hee.

Oops, it's at CU now: http://www.clackunlimited.com/clack/TV_App...VC/080428_OMWH/

Bwah! This CMSU! I missed that reference before. BWAH! We always have Capris in the way! The Who's Stopping By segment is up at Clayversity... not yet at CU.
