P.O. NOW: Slowdive S/T (05/05/17)


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

Loving this album but not thrilled with the way the silver sounds on my setup.  Maybe I got a dud?  I have some distortion on the first two tracks of side A.  Rechecked my cart alignment and tracking force and made a few tweaks.  Things did improved but I'm still experiencing less that optimum sound quality.  How's the black pressing sound?  

 

However, it was a good exercise to recheck my alignment and tracking force settings.   Things were a bit off and the tweaks I've made have definitely improved the overall sounds of my setup.   So if anything, there's that.

I'm really hoping that they announce an LA show between Oakland and Denver shows. It would be really silly of them not to do a headline show here considering they sold out 2 nights in LA during the first reunion tour.

this would be my first time seeing them since Primavera Fest 3 years ago. am dying to see the new songs played live.

so Slowdive is doing more US dates this fall and are playing the Fox Theater in Oakland on October 28. tomorrow tickets go on sale with a Spotify presale code. does anyone here have Spotify and know what the presale code will be? I will be forever in your debt if you can hook it up.

Let me look into the details and go from there.  Assuming it's not a one-per-account use, I should be able to help you out.  But I'm looking at that show myself, as a heads up.  I imagine it's a promo code of sorts.

if you can that would be amazing. would totally buy you a drink at the show for your assistance.

I would ditch my FYF ticket in a second if they did. I'm definitely hoping for this as well.

the presale code is SLOMO. I work for a venue that has them on this tour.

As grateful as I am for this, a tiny part of me almost wishes you hadn't said anything since a lot of promo codes tend to be song titles or album titles in all caps, without spaces.  Since the album title seemed a little obvious, and there weren't too many song titles to test, I was going to start at the top tomorrow morning and try my luck.  I imagine I would've just about shat myself if my first attempt granted me access.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully forgive you for robbing me of that opportunity.

 

(But really.  Thank you.)

thank you so much for this! just got my tickets for Oakland! @Derek™ you are still welcome to a drink for the thought.

Second this! Was able to grab some Mezzanine seats in Oakland! Typically I like to be on the floor but Slowdive seems like the type I'll want to be back a bit and relax and just take the show in.

I personally don't drink but I totally appreciate the sentiment, thank you.  I'm stoked you were able to grab a ticket.  I'm not sure how many were available but the lady and I both secured ours with minimal fuss.  Should be a great show, especially after reading some of this thread's posts about their live performance.

I don't drink either haha! that is why I offered a 'generic' drink. would be happy to grab you a seltzer if you would like. either that or a pull or two off my weed pen if that is up your alley. ;)
