that O.R.B band need to change their fucking name. pricks

 

[therealjohnny]

Such a shit band too. How can any Irish person live twenty odd years on Earth, be so into music that they join bands and never have heard the term 'rude boy' before?

That has been driving me mad for about 2 years now as well. I wasted literally minutes wondering if I was going to be listening to some cool ska band getting a bit of hype.

Daft Punk too

the wankers

 

[therealjohnny]

Eagles of Death Metal


no

 

[therealjohnny]

Heavy Metal Kids

stop that

So a record bought from the US cost $25 dollars

Shipping cost $20

and now the revenue are holding it until I pay duty...they haven't said how much


fuck this

 

[Unknown Convict]

always thought it wasn't 'economically viable' if the declared value was <$40 (within reason). tightening their grip?

 

[therealjohnny]

Emailed them --they got back to me and they're going to deliver it without additional cost


which is nice

"Consignments not exceeding a total customs value of €22 may be imported without payment of VAT. (Customs value is the value of the goods plus insurance and freight (which includes postage costs (CIF value)." PN 1882 - Ordering Goods for Personal Use over the Internet or from Mail Order Catalogues

So basically you're paying customs on the value of the goods AND the postage. With the cost of record postage costs, you could now be stung just even on the postage itself.

disappointed that you had a minor complaint since.

I thought you had emailed a complaint to the Original Rude Boys

 

[therealjohnny]

I'm happy enough they've changed the name to The O.R.B

It's up to ravers to moan about their name now

I know what you mean in that you probably already have the album. But I sometimes go mad when they contain the edits and not the better/ longer album versions.
Like the version of Pair Of Brown Eyes on this, fading out the lovely banjo ending

Or the way, they cut out the little instrumental at the end of Coffee and TV on this
