Not to be all all Here Come The Bombs about it, but today marks a pretty momentous occasion. Congratulations to Ima Robot on their long-awaited album release. May there be many more albums in their future!

This day seemed so long away last year, but at last it has arrived. How cool is that!

Has anyone heard about this getting pushed back in Canada? The stores here either haven't heard of it or say it's coming out next week.

Canada was September 16th as well.

That's what I thought, but nobody has it (as far as I can tell from telephoning). I'm heading to the store anyway in a couple minutes. If it's there I'll let you guys know.

Do they have Tower Records there? They were pulling heavy promo, and offering the record at $7.99 or something.

They had 3 copies at the Best Buy here (2 now), so that should mean it's a fairly widespread release. :)

There's a lot of buzz here in Minneapolis. They mentioned it on the local college radio station and I heard 12=3 twice and The Beat Goes On played once in the last 24 hours.

The odd thing about this was I didn't request any of the plays!

I don't know what's happened up here, but the album is still not available. There's a general agreement in stores that it was supposed to come out today, but the orders haven't come in. Also, I haven't heard the bot on the radio or muchmusic once yet. Has EMI forgotten about Canada?

Sadly,

Dave

Right you are, Dnewton:
Virgin Canada

Who knows what's going on up there?

That's awesome, thanks for the link. I also found that they were actually on the Rock Album chart at Rasputin Music:
