Nearly **** myself when I saw this:

I wouldn't pay that much for them, but I can see these going for insane amounts of money on eBay in years to come.

John

I bought one, I really want these albums on vinyl and you'd pay more for one of them off ebay than you would for this box set (and this has an extra side of music) so I gave into the record collecting demons.

Charm Offensive

Sunn O))) give me nightmares

Sounds fascinating! Am I the only one who looked at the rpice and though "not as bad as I'd've thought?"

No because I thought that and hit the order button!

Although from what I've read they're packaging them up pretty cheaply for shipping and a lot of them are arriving damaged

i prefer Black One, but still, wish i had the money to afford this!

Tar.Aldarion

Wow nice, good buy.
I love Sunn o)))

nosmo

Ooooh, I'm so very tempted. I'd probably never play it, but oh so tempted, especially for DECAY 1

nosmo

For those interested, Sunn o))) are scheduled as playing Cork on tickets.ie, no mention of a Dublin date though

I had the pleasure/disgust of seeing them live. They played one chord for an hour.

Tar.Aldarion

Sounds about right, hehe.

Class! Looking forward to seeing them!

It wasn't me!

I'm now tempted to travel...

John

Apparently they're playing Dublin (Crawdaddy), Galway and Belfast too! If they are I'm going to head to Dublin and Belfast. Saw them at Whelans the last time and they were incredible. Absolutely stunning live band.

And in related news, my White Box is sitting on my bed waiting to be cracked open and played

It wasn't me!

How's Crawdaddy on ID?

John

I don't know, I don't think I've ever been asked for ID for a gig there. If it comes to it I'll sneak you in under my coat.

Oh and for fans of both Sunn O))) and Boris, click here and **** yourself.

Any time I see this god-damn band name I think "What's so big about Sunn amps all of a sudden?!"

John

Funnily enough, since Sunn O))) got really trendy last year the price of Model T Sunn amps have been going up and up and up as everyone wants to be in a hip doom band now.

Giblet

I've never heard the band myself, it's just really confusing because I know someone who has one and I was wondering why people were using O)) at the end...

Thing is there seems to be no tickets up for it...

John

Not yet but give it time

Cool, I've been waiting for this for quite a while. Not a huge fan of 'Pink', but this should be bally fantastic. Pretty funny to see Boris in those fetching robes.

It was put up a while ago on their site and taken down again, so I'm confused.
I think they will come though. He updates his page like every day, so I'll look.
