LCD Soundsystem: One Thread Is Never Enough

[cobl04]

I'm so sorry.

That was the song I danced hardest to.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Fuck, I'm rad at guessing. Don't blame you, though.

 

[Danny Boy]

Shut Up and Play the Hits is available on iTunes right now.

I think I may just rent it and watch it once since I have the Blu-ray on the way.

 

[corianderstem]

My DVD arrived today.

 

[Danny Boy]

SHUT UP UNTIL I HAVE MY DlSC!

 

[cobl04]

I have tweeted like 15 different people/companies/stores, asking if this will come out in Australia and no one will reply.

 

[u2popmofo]

Maybe if you'd ask them in English instead of tweeting at them like a bird.

 

[djerdap]

What about Amazon?

 

[cobl04]

I'm worried about it not playing because I'm in region 4. Otherwise I'd have already asked one of you to ship it for me!

 

[PhilsFan]

Wait, this is out on DVD?

 

[Danny Boy]

As soon as I get mine, Cobbler, I'll check out the region coding.

 

[Danny Boy]

Region 0 NTSC, Cobbler.

One DVD with the movie and the full MSG concert spread across 2 discs.

I'm ripping the concert audio right now.

 

[djerdap]

Very nice. Where did you order it from?

[cobl04]

Region 0 NTSC, Cobbler.

Does this mean it would play in Australia? #ignorant

 

[Danny Boy]

Well, there's no region coding. Australia is traditionally a PAL country, but most modern DVD players and TVs can handle both NTSC and PAL. You would have to check your set.

 

[corianderstem]

Maybe if you'd ask them in English instead of tweeting at them like a bird.

I laughed really hard at that.

 

[lazarus]

Well, there's no region coding. Australia is traditionally a PAL country

I thought it was traditionally a MATE country.

 

[IWasBored]

I laughed really hard at that.

I did too.

 

[Danny Boy]

Cobbler, if you have a Blu-ray player, the Blu-ray is also region free and there wouldn't be any format issues to worry about.

 

[u2popmofo]

So I haven't rented this yet, because I'm worried I'll be bummed out after it's over (because I had to give up the tickets to see them and Arcade Fire back when for a business trip to Cobbler's inappropriate country).

 

[LemonMelon]

Friggin!

 

[cobl04]

Cobbler, if you have a Blu-ray player, the Blu-ray is also region free and there wouldn't be any format issues to worry about.

We don't have blu-ray in Australia.

 

[u2popmofo]

Your country just hasn't earned it yet, baby.

 

[Danny Boy]

We don't have blu-ray in Australia.

Not sure if serious.

Blu-Ray Player - Media Players & Recorders - JB Hi-Fi

 

[cobl04]

No not serious. We have them but my DVD player is working pretty well at the moment. I'll check if it's NTSC or PAL.

 

[djerdap]

So I've ordered this. I hope I don't regret it.

 

[cobl04]

would kill to go to this

DIY Presents: Shut Up And Play The Hits, Sub 89, Reading | News | DIY

Still don't have the DVD, either.

 

[djerdap]

As good an opportunity as any to say that the documentary bored me to tears. I had no idea why they thought following a hungover James Murphy wandering over New York City (but not before shaving!) would be compelling and interesting. It wasn't.

The live concert is absolutely amazing though and one classic example of DVD "extras" far outshining the main part. That's gonna turn up in my player far more often. Dance Yrself Clean is especially spectacular.

 

[cobl04]

Well yeah, the concert was always going to be better. The doco is about the last concert. I thought the doco was incredible, it nearly made me cry several times, but hey, I'm an LCD apologist, so.
