Ok so you guys know the drill. WB/Nonesuch is lurking around here trying to TIGHTEN UP their game (read- sell as many copies as possible). Fair enough. So let's throw out some good ideas to help them (and us).

My idea? To bring some value to the pre-order situation... why not have 1,000 copies of the vinyl signed by Dan and Patrick? And they can either go to the first 1,000 preorders or just randomly given out to those that preorder. Some would get a signed copy, others would just get a regular copy. Of course this means Dan and Pat have to sign their name 1000 times each, and that sucks for them, but I guess making millions of dollars is hard work sometimes.

Alternatively, they could do some other kind of extra goodie giveaway instead of a signed copy of the album. Maybe something mini-van related? An air freshener for our cars (er, minivans). A key chain. Black Keys floormats. Black Keys fuzzy dice...

That's just a quick one off the top of my head. What say you guys? Any ideas?

Maaaaaan, I was actually thinking last night that wish, without them telling us, that the few hundred or thousand. Would possibly be on colored vinyl, maybe an extra track or something. I know its not much, but I would love to open up my vinyl and see some color!

Look to what Umphrey's McGee has done with their past two releases. Different packages, vinyls, more pre-orders unlock cool stuff, release date webcast for those who pre-ordered...stuff like that

ooooooh snap, that would be the shit right there!! i'm talkin about the black keys fuzzy balls for my windscreen

i think any limited editions or vip packages or pre order packages should be the only ones.

ie this is limited edition, and then there is no more. control the supply and demand, make the things worth a little bit more to the people who buy em. i know a lot of people didnt like the fact they would do a pre order special, or a vip special or a limited edition special and then two months later there would be some other special coming out. that isn't really cool.

but yea a one on one "how to be a good person" lesson from dan would be awesome

in fact i think i would prefer the lesson "the art of tweetin" from pat... i find my tweets are just boring and dont grab enough attention!!

Really all I want is a clear Pre-Order that is a Vinyl plus MP3 download at midnight.

That way I get the music on my ease-of-use digital format and my beloved vinyl format for the sound quality.

And a lyrics page! Got to have a lyrics page!

No bells and whistles no posters no autographs. I just want to hear the tunes man! Pure and simple!

Oh and unlike last time if you actually do this. Make sure the fucker ships to Australia! And tell me it does before I bother to go through all the clicks then finalise and go "ah we don't believe in the international community as a fanbase so yeah. Get Fucked."

It's not nice.
