One more thing - apparently there are other people on Facebook pretending to be Salem so this is a reminder that if you're looking for Salem on Facebook then you should only go to the following link: www.facebook.com/salemalfakir
Great news - Salem now has almost 20,000 fans on Facebook! More great news - a discussion board has also been added to his Facebook site so this will provide even more interaction between Salem and his growing number of fans.
Just one more personal update - another day has gone by and I still don't have my copy of the CD. Maybe tomorrow???
Yeah, I've also been waiting for the album since the release - maybe CDON have had some problems... I'm apparently getting my copy tomorrow, so hopefully you'll get yours soon, too =)
ReplyDeleteIt's really cool that Salem has reached these numbers. It seems like Ignore This hasn't had much attention on Spotify yet, though...
Hi Fredrik,
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why it has taken so long this time - I've ordered lots of CDs from CDON in the past, they are usually dispatched and I have them by the weekend. Of course, Salem's CDs are the most important - and the best! - so you can understand why I'm feeling impatient. Let me know when you get the CD - and of course I'll post on the blog when I get mine :)
It's great to know that Salem has so many new fans who now want to discover his older music now - they won't be disappointed!
As for Spotify, I wonder if the lack of attention is because you need to be "invited" to Spotify - at least that is the case over here in Britain when you try to access this site?
I'll make sure to let you know - like I wrote on your latest post (before I remembered that I had commented on this one) I really think I'll get mine tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either, I have had to bear all the commercials on Spotify, just to get a listen. And I really think it's terrific! Now that I've got a bit more accustomed to this version of Brooklyn Sun (without the orchestra) I really really like it too.
I think most of us young swedes are already Spotify user, so I guess that Virgin (or EMI) would earn much on advertising the album a bit more.
By the way, do you have an account? If not, I might be able to get you an invite.
