Daecaunt

I don't like mp3s and I don't care much for these newer musical technologies. I love to have the artwork that comes with an album, there are some bands and people that don't give a crap, but often album artwork sets the mood and provides insight. I love bands like Faith & the Muse and Mors Syphilitica that did the artwork themselves, painted it, they put their soul into it...I guess you could download album art, but eh... I like the tangible-ness of cds and cassettes and 8-tracks and vinyl records.

Also, I've had some of my best memories and life-changing moments at record shops, so it's rather heart-breaking for me that so many are closing down.
There are still many bands who are fighting this new craze of download-only albums ~ they're still holding on to their revolutionary rebel roots!
Bleh, upon the mediocrity of iPods!

well I live in a very small eff. apartment and if all my albums were still on cd, I'd have to move my bed outside. I do agree though that some albums are worthy of keeping in pristine condition. my daecaunt cd didn't come with any booklet, but the cover art of the jacket and disc itself are divine. the pic of the letter on the back of it looks very old. any clue what lang. it's in?

don't have an iPod, but i love my cheap little mp3 player. melts in my ears not in my car..

So I'm surfing ebay and get curious enough to type daecaunt in the engine.. and look what comes up:
daecaunt on ebay





wish I wouldve known about this before I ordered the cd last week. pretty flippin sweet.

Dammit! I have come too late.

I am lucky/unlucky enough to live with my family again, so I've lots of room to fling my stuff around. My cds, cassettes, books, movies, etc are mostly stored in my closet and my sister's old room/my work room/the guest room, but like all my other belongings, they have minds of their own and end up in most randomly strange places.
When I lived on my own, both here and abroad, I took with me a collection of only my most beloved of albums, which was still probably a rather ridiculous amount...and I kept adding to it.
So, yeah, my favorite albums *some of them very rare ($$$)* are quite far from mint condition. I don't think I could ever be a collector of rare valuables ~ I'm too rough with things.
My cd came with a few print outs...not so much an actual booklet; the artwork is very lovely though!

dammit is right. I had this one on ebay watch and missed it with only one bid placed.
Can you read the h-writing on the back of the cd case?

if I didn't have my mp3 player, that would be a difficult task.

I have someone from this band emailing my myspace page.. telling me they know me... and it's tripping me out.

I can't, it makes me dizzy, but it looks really cool. I do hope he sells more of his art.

I'm the type of person that makes things much more difficult than they should be for whatever reason...also, with more people going digital, I've been able to *inexpensively* buy back some of the rarer cds and cassettes that my sister got rid of *some of which belonged to me* when she decided she was tired of Goths and deathrock.

That is weird...and rather cool.

there's a used book/cd store in town here and it is awesome to stumble across some really good albums for $1. I simply just don't have much room for them all.

huh?

I just checked a bulletin on myspace to see this painting posted today. I'm going to wait for another one more like the last one I missed. although this one is pretty cool too.

yes, apparently I know someone form this band, but he won't tell me when he knew me or where from... weird. He proved it though by telling me soem stuff about myself that someone who was lying wouldn't know.

Sweet! Maybe he's a Seer...or an old friend or something.

That painting is gorgeous.

The word daecaunt means dae (the) caunt (count). Dae is I forget which language exactly, but then he speaks several. Its one of the ones I have had exposure to though or at least some of the various endings on the words in it. I think that he uses it as a name online, for privacy reasons perhaps. Most of us use names here as a online name are not our own. His works are available online only afterall. I will be interested in obtaining a copy of the album though, for as yet I have not. He has told me before he is of the Lutheran faith, however I doubt he is the usual Lutheran, for he is very much an individual.

The reference of the symbol as a magi thing could be publicity mainly...afterall that wouldnt be the first time.

ciao everone and blessings.

a...huh

This is sorta, um, deja vu. The whole non-forum member commenter thing on the subject of Daecaunt...yeah, it's kinda eerie.




And I like it!

I think this calls for some investigations...

Watson! Dear boy!

Yes! Break out the cocaine pipes and absinth glasses, Holmes is on the case!


Seriously though, it's weird.

lol. hadn't even noticed they all say guest. so you don't have to log in to make a post? and ..umm.. I guess in that case, it's not weird.. just lame.

It is pretty lame, but it's weird because the same thing happened on the Gothic beauty forums last year or so when I posted about Daecaunt. There were several unregistered people leaving strange comments.

Well, I could change that as the administrator, but I don't mind having the ability for unregistered peeps to post. But I could consider changing that, I suppose.

I like Gothic Beauty. They did a nice review of one of my bands albums.. years ago.

Sweet!
We made an appearance in GB several years back too...an uncredited appearance, but it was a way cool shot of me and the others...Gods, I needs to get unfat again.

Yea, I need to lose about 10 pounds myself.
