Might I suggest a viewing of Monty Python's "Meaning of Life"

I came home today and found, waiting for me, a copy of "Midget"!! It was sent off on 9th August, 2008 by International First-Class postage. (Not airmail, I guess, as it took 5 weeks to get here)
Thanks for sending it. I have played it and enjoyed it! (no autograph, though...)
I preordered back around March 2007, but when it was finally released I ordered a copy of the "Hats" set and "Prickly Heat Radio Players" along with "Midget" to save DA.com postage costs. That was near the end of July, 2007.
What a saga this has been, trying to get these CD's. Well, I have one! It looks like the system works as far as stuff actually arriving here in NZ, but I don't like the idea of waiting another 6 weeks or more for my other stuff. I was planning to order the new DFBB from here when it came out and having that included with my other stuff. Will that work out ok for you, Jason and Eric?

However you want to do it is fine.
It glows with warmth that its still taking so long to get there, but at least it is getting there eventually now.
Airmail is actually gone... it turned into First Class International not long ago.

Yeah the problem we run into is this;
http://postcalc.usps.gov/
Choose New Zealand, package and make it about 8 ounces or so and see the choices we have. By far, the cheapest method estimated delivery says "varies". They basically can't even estimate how long it will take to ship something like that. But our other choices are pretty expensive. We may have to start charging international customers $30 or more for shipping if we want some kind of realistic delivery time.
The second problem is customs, they open packages and look inside and if they decide from whatever standard they have that something is not right, they don't send the package on. The are really suspicious of internaional CD shipments because of bootleging.

Now that sounds like a good idea.

I don't know... pay $15,000-25,000 or so for the download rights for a recording and make a couple of hundred dollars from the handful of folks that want to download.
I'm sorry if I come off as a skeptic, but the other bands in this arena that have tried the download route haven't made squat. If it could be done as an extra deal - in addition to a regular CD reissue, it would be fine. But most labels these days want to negotiate download rights separately from reissue rights.

I guess I was thinking joey was talking about future projects. Assuming those would be controlled by the band.

Ahh, sorry - yes yes.. Midget is entirely owned by the band. Unfortunately, the bulk of the catalog isn't though.
There is a desire to do something with downloads for the Stunt-owned material. It just hasn't been a priority due to the poor download sales reports from other bands within the family. Additionally, 95% of the email requests we receive are for CDs over downloads easy. So, its something that everyone wants to do because well.. why not? But, no one has high expectations.

I'd rather have a CD and case than a download. I am used to paying at least a CD worth in freight from other US suppliers so if you up your fees it won't stop me buying.
Hopefully some things sent out in August to me will be there this week.

What's a "Download?"
Do you have to take a special medicine for that?

I recently got the midget, the speck and the molecule for my birthday.
Nothing really profound to add to what has already been said. But I'd like to say that it's a really great album!
I love the overarching theme of perspective, and it's one of the best Terry Taylor albums musically. I've only had it for two weeks, and it's already one of the favorite albums in my "collection" (term used loosely).

Anyone feel like copying their old reviews or writing a new one for iTunes?

I gave this a listen again today - it has stood up pretty well over time. The final track always brings to close to tears...
