yeah the physical component screams both Year Zero and ARG. A bunch of mentions of Presence and controlling it (the Presence was the big hand reaching down from the sky in YZ), and there's a Patch Notes thing that talks about, among other things, a previous error that set some termination event at 2k+12. YZ was like 2007, right?

who loves you clownboats:













notes: neither the book nor the schematic come off of the red package, unfortunately. The book isn't stapled perfectly evenly which is why a couple of pages wouldn't stay open. The add violence stickers are regular stickers, the 3 thicker ones have an adhesive back, so they're basically more durable stickers.

Got my physical component too. Noticed that there's a reference to "The Great Below" in the "This Isn't The Place" lyric sheet:

code:

i->canStillFeel(you,_evenSoFarAway);

I'm sure I'm late to the party and NinWiki already has tons of stuff I haven't noticed, of course.

No kidding. That DHL -> US Mail service loving sucks. They could have shipped this stuff straight US mail for probably less money and it would be here in half the time.

I got a "shipping" notification for NTAE vinyl about a week ago, but it's still in the "pre-shipment" phase. Of course, at this point I had barely even remembered ordering the thing, so it's not any huge deal.

Same. I sent the support an email about that wondering if they had any ETA or what was even happening and basically they gave out the tracking number as soon as they got them to everyone.

I was in the same boat 'til mine actually shipped yesterday, guessing it's just taking forever to get everything out. Took forever for everything else, so whatever.

Got my Violence physical component. My son wants to take a sticker to school and slap it on a math test. Clever, but I don't want to deal with the inevitable phone call...

Booklet and shirt are cool. Any ideas if the serial numbers mean anything?

Yeah. Comes with an Add Violence shirt, Anxiety beanie, 3 patches, a NIN 6.3mm jack keychain, and the Physical Component.

Finally got my NTAE vinyl. It had a note on the box saying it arrived damaged, but it was only very slightly bent.

Side B is actually the last side of The Downward Spiral, but backwards.

Here's what the packaging looks like if anyone's curious:

Old Town Road to EGOT

Now I just stare into the sun
And I see everything I've done
I think I could have been someone
But I can't stop what has begun
When everything is said and done
And there is no place left to run
I think I used to be someone
Now I just stare into the sun

(I'm in New Orleans and couldn't see the eclipse at all. It got a little cooler but didn't get any darker. Eclipse was fake news.)

Really? I didn't notice that on mine. I assume you don't mean the record itself, right? Do you mean the outer sleeve? I guess it does kind of look like it had toner on it at some point, though it seems permanent. Not that I really tried to rub it.

Yes, I finally got my vinyl copy of Not The Actual Events in the mail yesterday. It was successfully forwarded to my new address as I have moved since first ordering it, thanks Canada Post.

The sticker on the front says it's one-sided, but side B clearly has music on it. What is it? My turntable is still packed up.

I also got the TDS and Broken definitive editions. Broken comes with the bonus 7" containing presumably Physical and Suck. I am curious how it sounds compared to my original Brazil pressing. Broken also comes with a cool little booklet with a story about NIN at the time. I am sure somebody else will scan it. Fake edit: looks like somebody has

I'm so insanely hyped for the Riot Fest festival set next Friday. I've had NTAE/AV on repeat the whole week, especially The Lovers/The Background World. TBW is so loving good, I seriously looped it like 10-11 times yesterday.
