there’s another copy that has been on ebay for a while now, but the starting bid is $300 (with $350 buy-it-now, i believe). that’s too much for me.

i agree.i also think it’s funny how they went all radiohead on the tracklist.
yes, derek, we do give a fuck.
i just won the pisces iscariot 12\" + 7\", sealed, numbered 7/2000 on ebay. for only $202. i’ve always wanted to have this, but never wanted to pay more than that. yay!
good thing i decided to check ebay yesterday, or i would have completely missed this.haha, this one’s funny:

i actually own this record. i’ve now checked it, and it indeed comes with these hidden messages. hahaha. i never knew.i find this taxonomy too detailed and subjective. i think these releases need to be filed under CDs (Official) or CDs (Unofficial).[/quote:3jysz4uc]
i don’t necessarily want a separate category for cd-rs. but i think it’s important information that should be included, one way or another. (maybe by adding an extra field "cd-r" to all CD entries, for example.)previously, if it said "acetate", then you knew it was a cd-r. at least, that’s how i perceived it.
now that the release types have changed, this no longer works.OK, I think most CD-Rs are in this new section. Someone willing to check it, and see if I made mistakes?

looks like those are indeed all cd-rs. but not all cd-rs are there.just some machina examples:

http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=1791
http://www.spfreaks.com/default.aspx?pa … &item=1088Was this CD a public promo? If I remember well, it was given away at some stores with Machina?

i believe it was given to people who pre-ordered.i wasn’t there though. this is just what i remember reading about that release.
i’d find it interesting if there was a way to indicate the difference between a cd and a cd-r.
this has got nothing to do with \"type of release\", i know. but i find it important information, and there doesn’t really seem to be a separate category for both. they’re all \"cds (official)\".The only one that still gets any attention today in our schools is the Holocaust and even that isn’t really taught to anyone. The only reason that still gets attention is because of Anne Frank and her diary.[/quote:1a1vcirc]
how is anne frank’s diary a reason to teach about the holocaust?
surely they have other reasons, and the diary is only one of the means to teach about it. no?i think when it comes to vinyl, there’s a difference between acetate, test pressing and white label promo. even though it’s often hard to tell whether something’s a test pressing or a white label promo.
i don’t really know what acetate means when it comes to cds. i always thought it was the same as cd-r. but i never really gave it much thought.

umm im really good at guitar and i guerantee i could shock and awe so and cover requests? BTW love this site its so sic[/quote:1vz2fkq2]
please record a cover of "nothing and everything". thank you.i don’t think billy reads messageboards, and i don’t think he has people who check the messageboards for him. but that’s just me. i know nothing.
this one was ordedered to be this way as per the label. so, yeah well… this was intentional…
[/quote:3p4f72qp]
well of course it was intentional. obviously.
it’s just not very clear whose intention it was.and i don’t think bc not commenting on it means anything. he could choose to remain silent either way.
i think if he’s not behind it, aka the vandalism/graffiti scenario, he’d probably choose not to give this any extra public attention. it would be a bad move to make any statements about it. almost nobody knows about this, and he probably wants to keep it that way.
if he is behind it, he could confirm this. but if you look at the messages themselves, one can see why he would choose not to. or maybe he’s waiting until people have figured it out. unfortunately, he still hasn’t found out about that, as for some mysterious reason, nobody is reporting on this.
that’s the thing with these coded messages though: anyone could have added them. unless someone would have asked why the matrix code was suddenly a bit longer, nobody would have noticed.
on the other hand, i would expect everyone involved to have noticed – even i noticed, and i’ve got nothing to do with it – but who knows? if you’re not expecting people to add things to the matrix code, you probably don’t check if it looks ok all the time.
can someone fish for a reaction from billy?
now that we have good reasons to believe he is behind this himself, i think it’s safe to even do it via twitter. it doesn’t have to be with the spfreaks twitter, but i personally don’t see why not. one can simply ask about the \"secret message\". no need to spell them out. if billy is really behind it, he’ll know what is meant.
