$19.99 for a new printer that I desperately need? I'll be there!

Ratatat - Party with Children Video

Ratatat's album, LP4 will be out June 8th, 2010 on CD and vinyl (vinyl will include a mp3 download coupon, lurrve it when they do that!).
After having listened to the leaked album a couple of weeks ago I decided that it was worth purchasing the vinyl when it becomes available.

INTERPOL - Pre-Sale Tickets Ends Friday, May 14th @ 11:59pm PST

I received an email today from the Interpol mailing list:

"We're getting back on the bus, traveling across some fine regions of our great states - and we're making stops... Yes, as in, playin' shows. 

Go to Interpolnyc.com where we'll be posting tour dates/cities, and for a limited time, pre-sale tickets will be available directly from the band, with no third party involvement, thus creating a less expensive price per ticket.

We're looking forward.

Thank You,

Interpol"

Ticket prices range from 28 thru 40 dollars and are for the following states as of this post: NY, PA, IA, OH, MO, GA, SC, MD, RI and CT. 

It's great that the band is doing their own ticketing and makes me feel that much more connected to the music if I were to purchase a ticket. Sort of like buying a vinyl album instead of a download or a CD. 

Unfortunately, it seems they aren't venturing past the mid-west just yet.
