Additional information
It's nearly impossible to discuss Brooklyn indie pop trio Ballet's third long-player, I Blame Society, without invoking names like Hidden Cameras, Belle & Sebastian, Jens Lekman, and, most importantly, Magnetic Fields. Though they may not be as steeped in the subversive, nursery rhyme witticisms of Stephin Merritt, songs like "Cruel Path," "Difficult Situations," and "All the Way" manage to convey a sort of wounded optimism that, when paired with the simple, Brill Building-inspired electro-pop melodies, makes them feel like kissing cousins to some of Merritt's best offerings. That said, there's more at work here than just an addendum to 69 Love Songs, as the Ballet possess a certain streetwise panache, especially on moodier cuts like "Alright" and "Meaningless," which examine the raw succinctness of love and heartache through the murky prisms of Joy Division and "Sweet Jane"-era Velvet Underground. It's a subtle record that gets under your skin not because it's full of creepy-crawlies, but because it feels intimate in the same way that watching a John Hughes movie makes you feel like your watching your own friends. In fact, the excellent "Feelings," with its simple, questioning refrain of "I still have feelings for you," sounds tailor-made for the credits sequence of an alternate universe Hughes mash-up that sees Pretty in Pink's Ducky jumping into Sixteen Candles hunk Jake Ryan's car, as Molly Ringwald blows kisses to them both with her arms around a triumphant Anthony Michael Hall. ~ James Christopher Monger

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
