New song:
 
 
I wasn’t expecting a big sound to get me back into the Mountain Goats but from what I’ve heard so far this is shaping up to be my favorite MG album since at least All Eternals Deck. 

Sounds like what you would expect. 

All right, now let's speculate 20th anniversary show exclusive merch. STS repress /500 on silver with silver cover????

Do it from their merch store, I got it to work from there. 

Just got an email from Livenation, with a save the date for a March 11, 2023 show the the KIA Forum in CA. So there's a 20th anniversary show, at least. 

My devil's advocate take on this (and I say this as a spectator, never been involved in writing/recording/releasing music on a label): I guess I understand why Chad Gilbert is upset about small labels acquiring licenses to re-press his music on vinyl without him knowing, but my dude, the reason this is able to happen is because of the contracts you signed when recording and having these large labels release your music. Signing contracts like that can bite you in the ass if you make it big, but it could go the other way around if the band never took off. That's the premise of these types of contracts. The label gives a generous(ish) offer (I assume) but they take on a lot of the risks associated with putting out an album. You'd be able to legally stop it from happening/let your friends put the vinyl out if you hadn't sold your rights to make those kinds of decisions, rather than just banking on "my blessing." 
Idk, am I off-base with this one?

I'm not familiar with your exclusive variants. Do you carry copies in-store or do these usually just sell out online? 

There seem to be some left here, but only as a bundle with a shirt: https://ceremony.merchtable.com/

Y'all, It's happening! A deal has been struck and I thank lbw87 so much for being willing to part with this! I'll post some goofy photos once it's back home! Thank you all for tuning in and putting out the word. I cannot believe this is actually happening.

Or this could be $10.99 and cheaper than most 7” now a days. Pleasantly surprised.

Like the single.  Hate the album title

Color me intrigued.  I can’t access that because of timezone differences – and am too busy to fiddle with my VPN at the moment – but out of curiosity, is it a single + b-side or single(s) for a new album?  The latter doesn’t make much sense but I’d still like to keep just a pinch of optimism if I can.

Doesn't that make you the one doing all the "virtue signaling" here?  You don't care... yet here you are, compelled to lecture people you disagree with.
Find better uses for your time, friend.  Also, prancing around the internet complaining about "virtue signaling" is a major dogwhistle.  Just so you know.

Hes doing a solo gig at the less popular 'While You're Still Young' fest
 

Can’t believe they didn’t get booked to play this album for that fest in Vegas.
