weirdly got into his solo stuff before i ever heard the weakerthans, and have always had a soft spot for his own material. needless to say, i'm psyched! have been waiting for this for a very long time. that said, does anyone know anything about this union transfer place in philly? the pictures on their website make it look fucking huge!

UPDATE ON THIS RECORD: All orders so far have shipped! Sorry for the delay everyone! We ran into every problem imaginable!! Thanks to everyone who has ordered the record for your patience and support! For anyone who still wants to order a copy (we only have black left) check out the Runner Up webstore here: http://runneruprecords.bigcartel.com/ THANKS!!

Hey guys, just to clarify, doing the $10 Bandcamp donation gets you a clear /100, just as pre-ordering from our webstore does. That said, we're almost out! Will post on both pages when we are totally out though.

thanks dudes!!

Hello Vinyl Collectivists - here's a little nugget of info if you are in the greater Philadelphia area. FELLOW PROJECT (members of BRIDGE AND TUNNEL) are playing with SPRAYNARD at a house in Malvern, PA (20 minutes west of Center City). There will be a plentiful vegan bounty and good vibes for all. I am pretty sure this is donation based, so it's either free or cheap, depending on how nice you are feeling. Need I say more? Hope to see you there! Here's the specifics: WHO: FELLOW PROJECT (members of BRIDGE AND TUNNEL), SPRAYNARD (Runner Up Records a la Lawrence Arms, Latterman), DAN JORDAN (local sleepy-time folk like Fingers Cut, Megamachine) WHERE: 3 Wood Lane, Malvern PA 19355 WHEN: 9/6/09 (6:00) HOW: Ever much you can donate! TIDBIT: Don't park in front of 7 Wood Lane. Dude is a jerk and will have you towed. Everyone else is fine though. K, see ya there? Bye! Sean

Mike/Fedup, thanks a lot for the kind words man, I'm glad we were able to hook you up!! Enjoy those records! Tom - the pre-order that Banquet is offering IS the marble vinyl, so you're good to go! Niiice. xoxo sean
