Doesn't it make more sense for everyone to just e-mail you? I mean,
what if the list doesn't make it to five and then you don't see the

"Oh, the Grandeur" comes out on August 24th, I believe. If you order it from
Rykodisc, you get it either on the release day, or early, and if you're in
the first 100, you get a free BOF poster!! The total comes to about $20.00,
but it's well worth it!!

When I called to order my "Oh Grandeur", the fella said that people who
order them will be getting them a lot sooner than those who purchase them in
stores. Also, if you're from Canada, expect to wait a little bit since it
will have to go through customs. By the way it is August 24th that it is
coming out in stores.
People who have received posters from the site, how are they packaged? Do
they come packaged in a rolled up thing or do they fold them?
Also, for those who have seen them in concert, how much are the ticket
prices? (American dollar will do)
Also, do you guys have the HMV record chain in the United States?

Hi Nicole!
All you have to do to order the cd is go on Andrew's page on the Rykodisc
site, click on "Orders". On the "Orders" page just above the "Thrills"
album logo, there should be his name. Click on his name and both the
"Thrills" and the "Grandeur" album should pop up. The Grandeur's album icon
is the Rykodisc logo. It's $16.98 plus shipping and handling. And, as
mentioned before, if you're within one of the hundred first purchasers you
get a free poster. I was number three and that was last week. I think you
may still be in luck.
If you don't want to go through Rykodisc, Amazon.com is taking preorders and
I also think chapters.com (I could be totally wrong on that one).
Good luck.
Theresa.

Okay, remember that this is for those black, rectangular SNZ stickers with the squirrel and lightning graphic (so if ya have one already let those who dont get a chance to win one). Send your answers to:

Do not reply through the list! First correct answer wins the prize! Please, dont send nude photos of yourself or your credit card numbers cause i will use them to my adavantage--read: "I believe in blackmail."
Here it is:
"The Beatles" stole many of their hits from "The Bottles." Ken named the titles of some of these. I'm looking for the only one for which he gave BOTH "The Beatles" and "The Bottles" titles. What were those titles?
This ain't too hard, but good luck anyway.

For an unrelated thing, I got a free poster from them. It was rolled
in a tube. Small. It was pretty dumb - just the cover pic from the
album. I was hoping for a Bird-shot, but nooooo...

It's from an early Laurel and Hardy comedy skit. L&H, delivery men,
are carrying a piano up a long flight of stairs. En route, they
encounter a preposterously dressed man who orders them to move aside.
When Hardy asks "why don't you go around?", he says "Are you asking ME
to go around YOU?! Me, Theodore von Schnartsenhoffen, MDADDDSFFFNF, go
around YOU?!?!?! Out of my way! Out! Out!"

Actually, I must tell you that the chapters.com site that I referred you to
is a Canadian music and book site. It's sort of like Amazon.com, however,
all the prices are in Canadian dollar which is great for you Americans out
there. The Oh Grandeur album is only $15.47 Canadian which is probably
around ten dollars American. The address to the site is this:
http://www.chapters.com Also, for those that don't know, the address for
rykodisc is this: http://www.rykodisc.com (free poster).
Take care,
