It's amazing how music can make a memory like some of you are describing. I love it. If only we got that feeling of something new every year.

I'm going to buy it the day it's released and drive around listening, word for word, note for note. Then I'll go home and read and analyze the lyrics, and the album jacket

And listen on headphones so I don't miss anything.

My cousin and I have taken the day off of work for this! We both pre-ordered from WB, but, will probably go to Wal-Mart (we live in a VERY small town) at midnight and buy it, as well.
We have decided to come back to my house, light Nag ChampRa incense, and listen to the album while drinking martini's in honor of Dave Stewart's contributions. (He's tweets seem to very often include martini drinking).
We have vowed to not speak a word during the ceremony, and share our opinions after the last chord of the last track.
I am so excited for this, I can barely stand it. To be able to peel the cellophane from a brand new STEVIE NICKS CD!!!, and slide the inside jacket out, soaking in the liner notes, pictures, and lyrics, is going to send me into a fangirl frenzy!!

I love this so, so much. Sounds like so much fun.

I pre-ordered "In Your Dreams." But if doesn't arrive in the mail on the day of release, the anticipation will be too great, and I''ll have to buy another copy at the local record store.

While listening to it, maybe I'll burn some nag champa (my favorite incense years before I found out Stevie favored it), and bother my neighbors with the high volume level.

I've always bought Stevie and FM releases at brick and mortar and will probably continue to do so for as long as it's possible.

That said, here is my routine...

- I call a day or two ahead to find out who is going to have it so I know where I'm going on the morning of drop day.

- Since they usually drop on a day that I'm working, I go to the appointed store on my first morning break, around 10:00 a.m or sooner, if possible.

-When I get back to the car, I pop the CD in the player, take a quick look at the linear notes and listen to it on the way back.

- I take the CD out of the player and in to work, pop it into the computer CD drive, read the linear notes word for word while listening with headphones, then usually listen to it over and over for the rest of the day.

- I take it out of the computer CD player and put it back in the car's player. There it will stay and will be the only thing I listen to for the next several weeks.

... and that's how it goes.

As for rituals or traditions, I guess I don't really have any, just the routine.

When TISL came out, I drove over to the nearby Warehouse Records to get it on my 10 minute morning break. My boss caught me in the parking lot when I got back and asked where I had been.

I told her that I was on my 1o minute break and went to the record store to get something. She questioned it only taking 10 minutes, which I insisted it did (and it did). I was able to hear one song on the way back, and the rest of the day I had to wait until lunch to hear the rest.

THIS time, I'm taking the day off, and making it a Stevie Day! The day before we are going to Disneyland with my niece, and I will make sure that we are home by 9 pm because that's when I think it'll be released on Itunes, no? (east coast time 12AM)

Oh, and I do plan on buying the cd at 10 am tuesday as well. HOPEFULLY the documentary will be out the same day.

Cool thread! My tradition is to buy several copies of her new albums and pass them out to almost everyone I know. Even people who don't really like music. My feeling is that if all her fans did this, sales would be amazing and she would record more. Sounds crazy, I know, but I love going to a store and buying a STACK of her cd's. I guess it feels like I am supporting an artist I feel to be one of the last great singer-songwriters.

What's sad is that sometimes I will go to a record store and all they have is Bella Donna and not her other releases....or just 1 or 2 copies at that.
