Best Buy Solves Your Dog Problems

[Jake Wallace]

For those of you worried about not being able to find The Format (www.theformat.com)'s new album, Dog Problems, in stores tomorrow, fret not! Every single Best Buy in the country will have many, many, many copies. The price might vary from store to store, but should be around $10. The CD is being featured on the new artist rack and if anyone there tries to tell you they don't have it in stock, make them go look for it in the back, because they definitely have it.

[TEN>YOU]

ill be there

i hate when they say its in the back.

and you ask them to go get it and they say no

bastards

[unwritten]

That's good news, thanks.

if anyone ever tells you know ask to speak to a manager immediately, because it's against their company protocol to say, they're just being lazy and the second you ask for a manager, they'll do it.

Exactly, I know the store (Marlboro, MA)i work at has atleast 10 copies last time i checked, and it's going for around 10 bucks...TEN and The Format for 10 bucks each? deeeeeeefintely grab them both.

[thechrisformat]

i got my pre-order today! the artwork is awesome.

[costello.]

Yeah, one time I asked a guy if they had a CD (I think it might have been Moneen...) and he said, "Yup, it's in the back."
And then he went back to doing whatever he was doing, and I was too shy to ask him to go get it (I know, I'm pitiful), so I just walked away.

Even though I've had this downloaded for months, I'll most definitely try and pick it up tomorrow.

[KB3RG]

It should be a national holiday tomorrow

[blinkanboxcar18]

[bryant10185]

[alexster]

It should be a national holiday tomorrow

haha...too late...the format already have their own holiday.

http://theformat.livejournal.com/39729.html

although i'd be willing to celebrate the format any day.

[Radiology]

It sucks that this whole year has been dead CD release wise then July 11th comes around and some of the best albums of the year all are being released on the same day:

Thom Yorke
The Early November
The Format
Sufjan Stevens
Muse

...too much at once...

[Juber]

I got the cd today. I am listening to it as I write.

[joeshmoe909]

It should be a national holiday tomorrow

Haha definitely.

[ashlesrecording]

i dont think best buy has to ever worry about having too many format fans rioting because their sold out of that bullshit HAHAHAHAH

[TEN>YOU]

they've said no to you when you asked them to get a cd from the back for you? that's crazy. that's their job!

they say

well it could be in a million different boxes and it could take forever.

its my birthday tomorrow :)

[preppyak]

I got mine too...the packaging and frisbee are pretty sweet. It's amazing to see the effort they put into every aspect of the CD, they must have spent every waking minute working on it

[MisterJefferson]

The price might vary from store to store, but should be around $10.


best buy tends to set universal weekly prices, i'm pretty sure.

[Short-Lived]

Definitely picking this up tomorrow

[lalalie_]

i wonder if best buy's in canada will have it....

probably not with my luck.

[lostntheseethru]

this just made my day.

the best buy by me sucks soooo bad. they never have anything and they look at me like im crazy when i ask about it.

now i'll have no problem sweet

[laxcrs]

i dont think best buy has to ever worry about having too many format fans rioting because their sold out of that bullshit HAHAHAHAH

are you fucking serious and you listen to slipknot and manson shut the fuck up

[Sureshot182]

they say

well it could be in a million different boxes and it could take forever.
and that i understand. order it off the internet. if i were a best buy employee i would be pissed if someone asked me to go search through a million boxes for their little cd. i am all for buying the format cd, but i can completely understand someone not being thrilled about going to get it. yes, "it is their job" but so is picking up horse poop, making hamburgers and cleaning toilets. would you be thrilled about any of these?

if you got pissed at someone for asking you to do your job maybe you should quit your job...i mean i understand what your saying but if i drove to best buy to get one of the top albums of 06 and some fat ass is too lazy to go and get it for me thats just not going to happen

[garlicgirl1210]

It should be a national holiday tomorrow

well it is 7-11 and that is kind of cool in itself.

thinking about it, 2006 was made for some cool releases on tuesdays:
02-14-06, 06-06-06, 07-04-06, 07-11-06, 10-31-06,

[elscorchette]

boo! my preorder hasn't come yet!

at least i got my early november preorder to listen to in the meantime :dance:

[*crying stars*]

It should be a national holiday tomorrow

chyeah. =)

[Take Heart]

One of the best 3 cd's of the year, and it'll remain that way. The replayability on this cd is amazing, everytime i listen i love it even more.

[Radiology]

I'm listening to this album right now....I'm pretty dissapointed actualy
except "Pick Me Up" is an amazing song, it's the only song that has stuck to it's simple nature from the acoustic version but done well full band, the others have become way too complicated/ filled with unnecessary noise.


same goes with TEN's new album, pretty dissapointing (theres a few good songs, but lyricly too simple, almost "cheesy" and a lot of The Mechanic is filler)


maybe I won't be buying as many CD's as I thought

dude, pick me up is one of the weakest on there. i guarantee you'll feel differently after a few more listens. don't give up on it.

[preppyak]

yeah...it's probably the only song that bothers me by relying on it's chorus more than the others. The weakest, maybe not, but it's not one of the top songs on there.

[LMB]

probably not with my luck.
They won't because they're fucking terrible. I'm treking over to Sunrise in hopes of finding a copy.

You forgot All That Remains and Bury Your Dead. But I'll forgive you for that one.

[Sureshot182]

yes, i know..i take back what i said.

[poppa Q]

Glad to know.

[dashboard1190]

I got my pre-order saturday. :D

[andrewiodm]

fuck best buy... dont go there

[Radiology]

You forgot All That Remains and Bury Your Dead. But I'll forgive you for that one.


uh...

I don't note the release of shit on CD

sorry

[ashlesrecording]

are you fucking serious and you listen to slipknot and manson shut the fuck up

i applaud your movie taste, now go trade in all those useless saves the day and nfg albums and use those 6, 7 dollars towards more vince vaughan dvds

and stone sour has probably accomplished more in their short career then both of those horrible emo bands combined, and thats just corey's side project

so dont ever compare metal bands who made it into the mainstream, while still maintaining their overall sound, to your mascara-running bullshit you fucken fool. theres a reason why sound the alarm cant even break 50,000 copies sold, because theres only 45,000 stupid kids in the US who buy into that shit

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

[Gleebo]

I hope to god the STD bashing and Stone Sour pimping is sarcasm. Right now im tired and I don't feel like reading between the lines.

Best Buy employees suck. They need to hire more people that are passionate about music and aren't just there to get a paycheck and play video games all day while they work. I remember making a guy go get the "Days Away" album and he made it seem like the task would literally kill him. It didn't and he hasn't asked me if I "needed help finding anything" since then.

[IPS Josh]

Yeah, Best Buy's customer service is awful. They're even worse at putting out video games when they're supposed to...I ALWAYS have to ask them to check in the back, and they act like I'M a jerk for wanting to buy something that they advertised a week ago in their sale paper...

JOSH

[indifference]

have any luck there?

[feigningapology]

best buy tends to set universal weekly prices, i'm pretty sure.

Definitely not universal pricing. The Best Buy I was just at Gresham OR (Store 1058)1148 Nw Norman Ave
Gresham, Oregon had it priced for $13.99. I even told them to look at absolutepunk.net, they saw this post and were like "sorry, whoever wrote that obviously got the wrong info on Dog Problems' actual price." For Best Buy 14 bucks is a little outragious for a release week cd price, I'm sorry. Added to the fact was that I showed up at 1:30pm and they didn't have ANY of the new releases out on the shelves...I'm starting to think Best Buy only hires lazy fucks with GEDs.

[LMB]

have any luck there?

Nope, same with Music World.

yeah. Westwood best buy $13.99. I even asked them to double check it b/c that seemed pretty ridiculous for release week cd. Between this and them not having Set Your Goals, what should have been a very satisfying trip to best buy turned into somewhat of a disappointment.

[xtianheadbanger]

the price online is 13.99

[MeltawayMints]

yeah I had to pay 14 bucks there too, and I couldnt really find it listed cheaper anywhere else. Sucks, I was really looking forward to it for 10. Did they just lie to Mr Wallace or what?

[Gleebo]

Until reading this I didn't even realize I paid 13.99 for it. I had to go check my reciept in the trash can. Shows how much I gave a shit what this gem cost...I would have gladly paid double and not blinked an eye.

I got out of there under 40 bucks today with The Format, Muse, and TEN.

Target had TEN for $13.99 without the bonus DVD.
