Pre-order Mishaps
Posted: Thursday, June 8th, 2006 in Head Automatica and Videos | Post a Comment
If you pre-ordered Popaganda from SmartPunk, you should have noticed you haven’t recieved it yet (haha). Due to some unfortunate mishaps the shipment has been delayed. Head Automatica issued out a statement regarding the matter:
Hello to everyone who preordered our new album “Popaganda” from Smartpunk!
Thank you for your support. We here in the HEAD AUTOMATICA camp would like to sincerely apologize for not getting the signed posters and CD’s to Smart Punk on time for delivery to you. The delay has been our mistake, NOT Smartpunk’s! We could tell you that when we got them Jessie spilled coffee on them, so we had to wait for more to be sent again, and when they were sent, four of us signed them, yet they had to sit on a shelf for Larry to come back from vacation and by that time, our record came out, however none of that is important, it doesn’t matter. IT’S OUR FAULT AND OUR MISTAKE. You have been committed to us, preordered the record and we let you down. We; Daryl, Jarvis, Craig, Jessie, and Larry sincerely apologize.
Thank you for your continued love and again for your support. We signed all of the posters in NYC and dropped them of at Fed Ex for delivery to Smartpunk. You should have your signed poster and CD next week. Again it’s our fault for the delay, our mistake for not returning the posters timely for distribution, not Smartpunk or our label.
Not that this is any consolation, however, we found a live video from our Starland Ballroom show that was never emailed out to the list or posted on myspace. Here is an exclusive link to watch a live video of “Dance Party Plus”

Unfortunately, none of the links above work! Luckly many have seen the whole Starland show and I’m sure they’ll fix this issue. - EDIT Looks like they fixed it! :]
For the mean time, listen to drew’s cover of Graduation Day instead. Heh.

I have a strange question for you guys. I actually preordered your cd, which is unbelievably awesome and rocks by the way, through Tower Records and it said that all preordered cds will come with an autographed cd booklet. Today I just received some startling information from Tower saying that the order has been cancelled and I will just be getting the cd (which I already got in the mail) but NO cd booklet. That really sucks because it does not state anywhere on the Tower website “while supplies last”. I thought it was a sure thing. IS THERE ANY WAY, PLEASE, that if I were to send the cd cover to you, that the band sign it for me?! I would really really appreciate it and it would mean a whole lot to a huge fan such as myself! Please let me know and in the meantime keep up the great music! Thanks sooo much, Wil
