£25 for the t-shirts...

Visited the online shop as soon as it went live: nothing like dropping a stupid amount of money before 8 in the morning. Had to order that hoodie! (And some shirts, a couple of mugs, etc etc... )

This might be my most brutal holiday season ever music-wise.

 

Oh well, whatever, I will post that live-album just for fun here anyways.

That's weird - I'm in North Carolina and had no issues checking out? I was (very pleasantly) shocked at how cheap shipping is: methinks someone made a mistake but hey ho.

Sorry to interrupt up the DR values discussion!

Running Up That Bill

 

Was browsing in HMV: 2011 Director's Cut and 50 Words for Snow CDs at £7.99 each sitting next to identical looking new ones for £15.99 each. I don't think they're going to sell many of the latter unless they somehow sound miles better, do they?

 

Thanks...it is weird but I'm still having no luck. I've emailed them so we'll see. I got up at 5:30 in the morning on a Monday...first world problem, I know....

 

Wow! This is from the CD?! Then I need to have this one. This looks like the 2011 24 bit download, not the original CD.

 

ordered the NfE shirt, but darn no litho's, would love to get that The Dreaming one.

 

the lithos are what I was after also.....hoping they appear at some point.

 

In the days before Wikipedia KB's version was probably based on the 1953 movie with Tony Curtis, where the trick is memorably central to the death scene.

 

Wasn't even aware of this movie but just read a synopsis. How lame! But... yeah... probably Bush got her inspiration there.

 

Went to the online store, couldn't help noticing that the 50Words and DWBMA globes are described as "bauble" rather than Christmas Tree Ornament.

Too PC, KB. Bah Humbug.

 

What is wrong with Kate acknowledging that she has fans who may be Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or any of dozens of other faiths?

 

while the packaging may not be markedly enhanced it sure is nice not to have a giant barcode and FBI warning on aerial now.

 

Actually no, on Kate’s website yesterday there is a post wishing us all a happy Christmas...

 

Can anyone who bought a t-shirt in person at the shop tell me the chest measurement for a Large?

 

sorry the answer may have gotten lost in the shuffle, but did we get an answer to this question?

 

Yes, the online pop-up is a subdomain of "shopfirebrand.com".
