So I was going to the KUC to work on a paper and eat this afternoon when I discovered a DND concert in the KUC theatre. It was such a great surprise. I even drove home before my 6:00 class to get $$$ for the CD.

This was only the 2nd time I've heard them live and they are growing on me. I will say though, that I like the crisp sound on their album and their sound has seemed muffled when I've heard them (I used to have the same complaint about The Features). Anyway, I see what you guys have been raving about. Some girl was at the merch table with an orange features t. Was that anyone from here?

I love dnd. I wanted to go, but I had to go to work.

i wanted to go, but had an evil copyright law test. bah.

I already made the long journey to the 'boro for DND once this week. And that was plenty.

i went to this show. i kind of felt the need to apologize to the band after the show on behalf of the circumstances. the show was supposed to be outside on the knoll, but it rained and was moved inside to the tiny, awkward kuc theatre. it was just weird because everyone was sitting down and spread out around the room and coming and going because of class. i think it would've went over a lot better if it could've been outside. but the band put on a excellent show despite the shitty circumstances. kudos to them for that.

Anyone hear Joel, members of Slack and some other guy on WMTS later that night performing the world's worst version of Thursday?

I wish I could have.... I had to work.

The creation of an eventual MP3 is inevitable.

As I said on that same radio show, I need to buy their album already. But that $13 always scares me off from their store...some day...

I thought the same thing, but it is more than worth it...

Yeah, 13 dollars for a 2 disc album is highway robbery.

it's $10 if you buy it at one of the shows.

and dnd was great despite the weird circumstances.

You're bloody joking aren't you? $13? That's like £6.50, in England I regularly fork out £10-£13 on a CD, just simply coz that's the best price. For instance A-Ha Shake Heartbreak I ended up buying for £12 and that was the best price I could find on the high street (wanted to listen to it straight away, so didn't order it off the net).

I'm not sure if you can compare the price of independently released and major-label released albums. That money goes to completely separate places in each case. I expect to pay no more than $10 for a CD when the band gets 100% of my money. Plus, you're comparing the price of a CD in England with that of the US. Case in point: Tower has the Kings of Leon CD for about $10 (although, in a year, it'll probably be $19).

With that said, De Novo Dahl poured tons of blood, sweat, and tears into that album (as well as a fair amount of money, I'm assuming). It's a great product well worth $13, if not $20.

FYI: If you buy it locally, CD Warehouse on 21st has it for $11 and Grimey's is selling it (in the general secton rather than the local section) for $12.

hate to break this to you, but things are more expensive in england than in tennessee. frankly, things are more expensive almost anywhere than in tennessee. the standard of living is lower, and we make less money. it evens out.

who is the supermodel on the right?

Oh, I'm so glad that's public. Damn paparazzi.

I'm pretty sure I love everyone in that picture.

i totally heard that and thought "hey i know this song..... but who the hell is singing it?"

and then i laughed. awesome, well done boys.

I know this isn't the DND message board anymore, but everyone who still cares about the band should go to denovodahl.com and check out the new songs that were just posted.
