Why So Blu?

Wow, I really enjoyed that song. Papa can fucking sing!

Ravenous

Heard that damn song twice and it was stuck in my head. Awesome. They better do an extensive tour!

The Scandinavian LP releases for Meliora are up for sale on the Hot Stuff website.

I'm going for the vinyl Box.

For a limited edition vinyl release, the price isn't bad at all. If I had a turntable, I would definitely pick this up.

Why So Blu?

Yeah, that box LP comes to about $63 shipped to the U.S. and the blood red vinyl (666 copies) comes to about $39 shipped.

Why So Blu?

It's a Ghost type of day! Here's the official video for "Cirice" off of Meliora.

Now that's a fucking talent show.

Thanks for the link. Went ahead and ordered the box LP, along with their second album w/ gatefold and booklet. I wanted the orange edition, but it's out of stock and I'd rather not hold up my pre-order if it never comes back in.

Also, very attractive pricing. I was pleased.

Why So Blu?

Glad I held off for a couple of hours, because another Swedish retailer has listed the LP Box set for about 44$ shipped. Gotta love we don't get charged VAT.

Mayan Theater, here I come.

Why So Blu?

I'll be there, too!

dvduser6

Count me in for the Mayan as well. I've only been there once, but it's a cool venue.

Geofferson

Dang, no Minneapolis show. Hope they add more dates.

Why So Blu?

Tickets have been acquired.

islandclaws

Ditto. And fuck AXS for charging me $5 to have a tangible ticket printed.

Why So Blu?

Man, these guys photograph awesomely and this looks to be Papa Emeritus III official look. I read that the earlier ones from the debut show as Papa III were prototypes. As you can see here Papa III does look "3 months younger" than Papa II :

cultshock

I plan to see them in Toronto in October, can't wait!

Why So Blu?

Just got an email from Ghost and apparently you get the Meliora album for free through a digital download code. One for each ticket purchased, so I have 3 copies in the queue. Right now you're only able to download Cirice but once the new tracks are released then you'll be able to get them, as well.

islandclaws

Same here. I wonder if this is some kind of play to chart higher on Billboard? I believe that by including an album in with the ticket purchase, it counts as a sale.

Why So Blu?

Great marketing - not to mention it explains why the ticket prices were a tad on the higher side. When I saw them last year at The Fonda - 3 tickets cost about 80$, with all the processing charges, etc. This time out 3 tickets cost me about $120, with all the processing charges, etc.

Hear it while you can:

Looks like a TX or MO drive if I want to see them. No Oklahoma date as usual (not that I blame bands). I just recently bought their two albums and really enjoy them and have the new one pre-ordered from their site.
