Pessimistic, party of one?

You'll be able to order at 12:01 PM Pacific time. Look at it this way, it's still shipping the same day it would have if you ordered it RIGHT at midnight. What's twelve hours? Sheesh.

It's not like I'm being pessimistic just for the sake of it. This CD is being put out on a small record label, it is not extreamly in demand, the release has been pushed back twice, the list goes on. I'd like to think the best but honestly I'm prepairing myself for the disappointment of this CD going to cast recording purgatory.

I thought it was called BARE - A Pop Opera. That's what it says on the card I have on my desk from the New York run and also on my Playbill.

oh god, don't get tourboi started on the whole title thing.

To me, it sounds like someone doesn't want to stay up to Midnight to publish the 'purchase' page on the website. I can't see of a reason beyond that where they would have to change it to 12 noon.

It's kind of dumb I think. Many people could have ordered it first thing in the morning, before work. I don't know about you, but there's not a lot of people who can just take time out of their day tomorrow at either noon or 3PM to log in and order the CD. But, that's only if they want the CD shipped the same day.

I would assume it won't take a lot of time to order it. People are on the web all day at work! They must have a reason for doing it this way. I mean the discs are coming out, finally! Why nit pick now over the time you can buy it?

Because people have no lives, and need to complain about *something*?

In the website clips, Matt Doyle seems to be approaching the songs as a singer, not an actor.

Jenna Leigh Green, for example, seems to have such a clear intention when she is shown singing. She is embodying her character.

Doyle, on the other hand, has the same grimace on the whole time and this is reflected in his voice, which has just a general "sadness" about it. He's not being specific.

(One might say I can't make an accurate appraisal of their performances until I have listened to the entire recording, but you must admit that the clips show the pivotal moments/denouments of several songs.)

Thoughts?

I like Matt Doyles voice ALOT but i agree with you. I also think that the guy playing Matt is too young for the part and the lines that happen in "Are you There?" sound forced and not like they're actually friends or like they are evn having a legit conversation.

And I'm not complaining just to complain or because I'm bored. No one more than me would love for this CD to happen but I'm just being realist about the success of small recordings in the past.

Too young for the part? Judging by Christopher Johnson's bio, he has been around for a while and I would suspect he is in his mid 20's. The character is in a boarding school. Presumably around 17 or 18 years old.

"don't know about you, but there's not a lot of people who can just take time out of their day tomorrow at either noon or 3PM to log in and order the CD."

Um, they can order it whenever they want after the launch tomorrow.

And as for getting me "started" on the title, the writers have said that it's just "bare" and no tag line afterwards. I've been told this in person.

I have to order it when I get home. I can't purchase it while at work due to work rules. I think I will be ok with ordering it later!

As far as the title. If you were told this in person, that's cool. Just wondering why "A Pop Opera" followed the title if this wasn't the full title of the show? However, it does not for this release. But it did for the show. Just an observation. Didn't mean to or want to get anything started.

Uncaged, first you said this "I would assume it won't take a lot of time to order it. People are on the web all day at work"

Then in your last comment you said "I have to order it when I get home. I can't purchase it while at work due to work rules."

I dunno why, but I just found that funny... Same goes for me at my job. It's not a big deal when you order it, but for the site to say they will mail the same day, most people will have to get their orders in quickly for same day mailing.

I just don't get why it's been pushed back until noon. Sure, it's not a big deal AT ALL. But, I am just amazed how the people putting out this CD (or working on the website) continue to push it back or make up a new 'time' to release something. It's kinda annoying, but like I said.. not a huge deal.

jennafan, it dawned on me after I posted that i can't order it at work. While I am able to be on the web and visit many sites, we have a policy about purchasing tickets, things on Amazon, etc.

My suggestion to anyone who wants to know why it is being pushed back until noon is to e-mail them. If you signed up for the updates, an e-mail address was provided to use for any questions. I e-mailed them earlier this evening and got a response.

"A Pop Opera" was added, mostly, because the Dodger's thought it might help it sell more initially.

Originally it was "A New Opera", then "The Musical", and then the Dodger's tried "A Pop Opera". Now, at their wishes, it is just simply "bare" (all lower case).

I could search but I really don't feel like it...is this album available on ITunes today or in any New York stores?

Or just on the website?

Thanks ya'll.

[uncageg]

Posted: 10/30/07 at 10:43am

I just searched. Took me less than 2 minutes.

[Rentheadut]

Posted: 10/30/07 at 10:54am

OR you could just save me some time and answer my question.

Time won't give me time. No offense, but it just kills me when people say they don't have time to search or don't feel like it. it takes such a short amount of time! Instead of taking the time to find this thread and post that question, do a search. It amazes me that we have the world at out fingertips and some of us are still too lazy to do something as simple as a search. JMO

Posted: 10/30/07 at 11:23am

I actually did search and didn't find anything about ITunes. It kills me when people can't take two seconds, especially if they know the answer, to help a sista out.

But whatever. Thanks anyway!

Now it goes on sale at noon? Oy!

[outovfashion07]

Posted: 10/30/07 at 12:23pm

Rentheadut, it rays right on the website that the CD will ONLY be available through the site.

Really, I'm getting antsy. Noon is such a random time, especially since that translates to 3:00 on the east coast.

uncageg - What did the email say? I'm not on the updates list, and there's really no point in signing up now...

[uncageg]

Posted: 10/30/07 at 1:57pm

perfectliar, the e-mail address should be on the website. I e-mailed them around 7:00 Denver time and had a response within half an hour.
