Finally

Warner Music Malaysia has finally developed the sense to release 'Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart' as an import right here in Malaysia. It might be 8 months late...but better late than never I suppose.


I saw the CD at Rock Corner while shopping at The Curve just now and it was displayed on the featured music section. There I was at the store beaming like a proud parent...it was only after 5 minutes that I realized the staff was giving me a weird stare.

It was a bittersweet feeling loh seeing the CD being displayed prominently. Happy because Rachael Yamagata has finally emerge from oblivion to the mass Malaysian public. Sad because it is sold at a freaking marked down price compared to what I paid for last December at Bangsar Village! (Refer to the post 'Time Has Come Today') I swear I will throw my copy of 'Eclipse' to the person who come to me and say "If you're patient, I will surprise".

To all you optimistic people whom I have manage to convert to Yamagataism, there are very limited copies of the CD at the store. Of course being the good friend that I am, I quickly text Julian and Eileen (we Yamagataist have to stick together!) and tell them about the CD.

However, if you people feel like beating them up to it, here is the number of The Curve's Rock Corner:
03-7729631. You can call them up and booked for a copy in advance. So good luck to all you Yamagataist and do hurry up because the album will only be available as an import for a limited time considering the fact that it is not a very commercial album.

For an appetizer to how the album would sound like check the video below

P.S: Nigel said that Warner Bros only imported a certain amount of the album and that they probably won't order anymore after the batch of copies sells out at record stores. So go get it you optimistic pollyanna!

P.P.S: Julian text me and said that he already picked up a copy of 'Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart' and there is only one more copy left in the store. Eileen, hurry up go get it!

Chester, when i told you, you did a big part in introducing Yamagata to the Malaysian crowd, i wasn't kidding and I would say that you should be very proud of yourself...
Like a parent, yeah...
Good job, dude...
And BTW, do not be totally sad you got the more expensive vrsion of the album...
I'm sure it's much more worthy of your money as compared to this album...
And lastly, I really wanna thank you for having me in mind when ya first saw the CD and had the courtesy to text me...
Let's just hope I get there in time before it's all gone...

Hmm... I wonder if 1Utama's Rock Corner will have it. =) Might drop by and take a listen if I'm there. ^^

alexis said...

Wow there is so much hype about Rachel Yamagata. I want that album too but there is no rock corner in penang T.T
i AGREE with jg, before this i would not have known of her if not for you chester! (:

enxhious said...

ok I might get murdered by u for saying this, but I listened to her song 'faster' on your post and...I actually didn't think it was THAT fantastic >.< it was just okay. Oh she has a good voice though.

Chester Chin said...

desmond, you should get it!!!

wee sheong, ahahah i know...i'm so emotional right now...

pink lover, the album version is better!

JG, oh stop it you're making me blush...on second thought you can keep the praises coming in XD

lauraleia, oh yeah hor..hmm maybe...but then again i find that curve's rock corner has more varieties.

alexis, omegosh you're from penang? I LOVE PENANG!!! you can try tower records at gurney plaza see? but if i'm not mistaken the place is closed down already or something like that. in fact i think the whole tower records chain has gone bankrupt..oh well welcome aboard rock corner!

enxhious, noooo you did not just say that. anyway the song is a live recording lol...but maybe other songs might appeal to you? go check out 'worn me down' and '1963' :D
