Watchmen (2019)

[neorev]

Amazon's hi-res service has them at 24-bit, but for streaming only, not purchase.

I don't get why they don't just sell lossless/hi-res music too. So annoying.

Shit is going down people. The people who got the Blue Sunday are getting automated Robocalls saying we are in violation for ordering it and we will get a package tomorrow. I checked fedex and I am getting it before 10:30. I answered the call and it included my name. Another guy let it go to voice mail and is trying to record it. ARG TIME!!!!

I hope someone records video of Kraw showing up in blue face paint and a fedex uniform to beat some sense into whoever paid $200 for dirt.

[eversonpoe]

i've never been so mad about NOT being able to spend $200 (because it was already sold out by the time i found out about it)

Volume 2 is available on 7 Digital in 16-bit/44.1kHz FLAC for $10.99

Has anyone who actually purchased the dirt received their mystery package yet?!

Not so far, based on the Reddit thread. I'm not a member of the FB group so I can't say for sure.

when I first saw it, it didn't even have a purchase button, just a wish list one. apparently there was a very short window between that and the new "you can't order this" message.

still pushing F5 just in case.

I got the package. It is a cryptic letter saying it dirt was confiscated. Someone who knows how to post images on here send me your email. I have to get back to work. In the letter they mention my JOB! This is creepy!

[mr9inchnail]

i had to work so I couldn’t make it to my local but I lost interest when I found out it wasn’t the whole set. Even though it was RITFW and the banter.

Didn't realize it wasn't the whole set but would have liked to been able to get a copy anyway.

[SIR.LONDONCLEANLILY]

Now my blue Sunday order was refunded by NIN.com
see photos of the package on Twitter #bluesunday

Earlier I thought to myself "Man, it would be funny if this is just an elaborate way to cancel the orders."

Did anyone honestly think the orders weren’t getting canceled/refunded?

I guess it depends on whether it was a Shopify loophole that allowed a small number of purchases or if it was purposefully up for sale in a super limited quantity. Seems like an awful lot of effort was put into the gag for it to be an "Oh fuck 15 people were able to buy this what do we do?" sort of thing. And then if it was purposeful, what's the endgame?...especially now that the Watchmen series is over.

In short, I wasn't sure what this was all about. And still don't.

Parker Industries is a thing, but it's Marvel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Industries

TRRA could be Trent Reznor / Ross Atticus? anything big happen in 1993?

There are a lot of Highland Terraces so eh.

Bit of an error maybe because later the TRRA93 is referred to as TRAA93.

And Byron James Lewis? There's a Byron Lewis in Watchmen canonically. Probably not the same person since he appears to be deceased as of Doomsday Clock #1.

Parker Industries is the company started by Sean Parker that bought up the land that The Crater resides on. Nothing to do with Marvel.

[allegate]

ah. well the marvel one is the first that came up.

that guy sounds interesting.

[allegate]

and the phone call mentions 38504FJRRA93, which is probably 38504(f) JRRA93 (because they all are 38504 even if the () changes) but JRRA isn't TRRA and also isn't TRAA.

This is the FDTA. The inspection of your package mandated by section 38504FJRRA93 shows you are in violation of attempted transport of M-class materials. You will be receiving a notification in the mail which you must open upon delivery. An agent has been assigned to your case.

So J...and T...he's touring with JT?!

I think TRAA93 is a typo...TRRA93 refers to the Technology Recall & Reintroduction Act of 93. It sounds like the voicemail says TRRA.

...anyone else think the NTAE vinyl/physical components were covered in Blue Sunday?

[botley]

Let Him Ride tho.

[slave2thewage]

Anyone happen to have pics/scans of the whole He’s Gone Away essay? Raging I didn’t pick this up.

Just noticed that "Crazy Klown Time" is a nod to David lynch
