erm, if you are using someone else's credit card to pay for a SHARE or a STOCK in patrick's album, please remember that it's not as simple as BUYING something from a shop. this is INVESTING. read the small print and be sure that you really understand everything you are agreeing to by purchasing a share, and make sure your parents understand it as well.

I know, I've read the memorandum and will explain it to her.

ahhh, i have a reply of why my card wasn't working. not that everyone wants to know but i thought i might post it just in case some other people have the same problem.
Dear Georgie,
Sorry you are having problems. The payment provider records indicated that your transaction was declined by the issuing bank, hence no payment has been taken by the site. Assuming you are not aware of any reason why that might be the case, it would be really helpful if you get a chance to ask the bank why they declined and if it relates to the transaction itself, please let us know. The decline code (which may be helpful for the bank) is xxxx. It is theoretically possible that certain card issuers may not approve the transaction because they don't like their card holders investing online (and Bandstocks is classified as an investment even though it may only be tens rather than thousands of pounds) but we haven't actually come across this yet in practice and have taken payments from most major card issuers. You may also want to try a different card if you have one and see what happens. We are adding paypal in a couple of days so this may make things easier and if all else fails, we could take a cheque payable to the trust account. (We don't normally offer that option through the site because of the extra admin involved, but would be happy to do it if this is easier for you - just let us know and we will give you the payee and address details). Thanks very much for signing up.and tryiing to invest. Bandstocks support
i'm surprised how helpful they were, it's cheered me up. and hooray for paypal, i'm going to use that in a few days.

a) I've bought one stock b) The megamix sounds great, looking forward to it already c) That video was intriguing, I was very pleased to notice an Ondes Martinot at 3:32 It all sounds rather good, a fair bit of electric guitar strangely!

I'm selfish, so does him needing funding mean he won't tour? BUT the megamix is fucking awesome and even though I just started listening to it I cannot cannot cannot wait for this album it's going to be so amazing oh my god oh my god. I forgot how much I like Patrick's voice. Damaris....oh my. OH MY. Tilda Swinton? What what? Together is a bit disco-y? Hard to comprehend songs by hearing so little of them, this is ruining the album! But.... uhhh....since it could be a while. Oh wait! I totally missed Battle for some reason and it's .... ahhhh! /incoherent happiness edit: I want to hear the rest of Damaris! I have 20p in my purse, Patrick! I'll mail it to you to get the album out sooner! haha

First of all, wow. Big change. All totally independent... I fuckin' love it. I'd help fund it if I could, but I know plenty of people in the UK are going to. Oh my oh my. And if Bloody Chamber Music gets bigger in the future, imagine all the awesome new artists we'll have signed by Patrick getting their stuff out and heard. SECONDLY, Oh my Jesus Lord, my heart is thumping all over and bouncing off the walls of my chest just listening to this mix - the same effect Lycanthropy first had on me. Oh dear. The new Theseus, oh my God. Holy Lord. OMG. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SONG'S PLAYING RIGHT NOW BUT IT'S INCREDIBLE. I love the dramatic robot voice introducing all the songs, I kind of want it to be on the album.

I think it would be nice if they could figure out an option for non-UK residents. I mean, if you're asking for money, why not from everyone, eh? Or maybe it's due to some complicated reason having to do with investing.
But anyway, this is a new and exciting turn of events.

i sent them an email complaining that non-uk residents can't invest.. maybe if we all do it, they'll figure out some way?

I'd like to invest for all the selfish reasons I can think of, like, getting him to release it on vinyl. YES, VINYL.
Other than that it sounds frickin' awesome and I will purchase and I will be happy. I expect this forum to get a large slew of newcomers out of which a few stay, possibly replacing some half-oldies that decide it is time to drop out.

Theseus sounds like all kinds of awesome. I hear a sitar in there, too...do I not? i heard a sitar! do you reckon it was bishi?

To disprove your expectation, Jay, I first heard Patrick's music at Glastonbury a year and a half ago and I'm still here and love the clips of Battle I've heard. Also, interestingly The Magic Position is my least favourite album, but I expect he will lose all the fans who like The Magic Position and not either of the other albums.
I really want Battle now, as grateful as I am for being able to hear bits of the songs now, it's made me more impatient for the whole album.
