Bad Catholics/Lookers 7" at Fest they just posted on FB.  Hope we can grab these soon.  

 
From the wording, it seems like it's one 7".  They just took a pic of two 7"s with each side showing.

(I guess this is kind of directed at the teens.)
 
It took a few years for their self titled to really sink in for me. At first listen it was ok, just another album that wasn't really that special to me. I think I was 17 at the time. Just a normal kid, with normal shit to deal with I guess. It's life experience that really made the album evolve and grow for me, just as I was starting to in my early 20s. One day I put it on and it just made sense. I finally heard what was being said. So when people say 'give it a couple years' I totally get that. That really isn't an insult. It's a simple, and accurate statement. No one said teenagers' opinions are invalid just because they are teenagers, but you need to look at the bigger picture; humans are complex. To complain when people use the variables of 'time' and 'age' as a counterpoint is ironically childish on your part, cause it's true. I can name so many albums that meant so much more to me after I had experienced heartache, loss, depression, etc. Music is emotional, so life experience comes into play A LOT. More ironic is that in a few years the ones complaining about their age will get it. There is going to be music that you can listen to at 16 and it won't mean that much to you on a personal level. Then years later you get a job, have your own place, meet a nice girl, date, fall in love, are happy, and out of nowhere the 'love of your life' rips your fucking heart out. You're in a city where everything reminds you of her, you wake up every morning with chest pain, spending all day playing it all over and over in your head trying to figure out what went wrong. Then you put on that American Football album you used to listen to all those years ago, and suddenly it all makes sense, and you remember when someone said 'give it a couple years', and what they meant becomes a little more clear, as does the album itself. Sometimes age is a legitimate reason for something. We were all in the same age as you, so it's not like it's some put down. It's just the way it is. Just how like a 40 year old could tell me 'just give it a few years', and I'll understand because it's true; time will tell.
 
Take 'I Need a Drink (or Two or Three)' for example:
[Verse 1]
I need a drink... or two or three
To fall asleep without you
I’ve had the longest day
I'm as blue as the sky is grey
[Verse 2]
I need a drink or two or three or four
To spend any time alone with me anymore
Every day, a chance to change
But the devil will find a way
As sure as the sky is grey
I’m gonna die this way
[Verse 3]
Oh, how I wish that I were me
The man that you first met and married
I’m tired of fighting
Endless thunder and lightning
I can’t break this bender
To it, I surrender
 
I especially feel connected to 'I've Been Lost For So Long', and I bet a lot of other people love this album do as well.
[Chorus 1]
If you find me
Could you please remind me
Why I woke up today?
[Verse 2]
I feel so sick
Doctor, it hurts when I exist
This isn't the pain I'm usually in
I hope it's not contagious
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m asleep and this is all a dream
I can’t believe my life is happening to me
[Chorus 2]
If you find me
Could you please remind me
Why I should wake up tomorrow?
 
To someone has experienced it, it means everything. To someone who hasn't it doesn't mean anything personally. To someone who has experienced it, it is their life, their story. To someone who hasn't it's just a story. Each of those words are like a fucking punch in the stomach for me. Without diving into too much personal shit, I've lived that song, I am that song to a degree. I need some way to be ok with who I am now, but 'I feel so sick', and isn't how I'm not who I used to be; how I wake up every morning 'blue as the sky is grey' and 'why did I wake up today' / 'why should I wake up tomorrow', knowing that 'I'm gonna die this way'. So yeah, at 16 that song wouldn't mean much of anything to me. At 29 I am that song. Sometimes you just gotta "give it a couple years". No one likes being stereotyped ( just ask Descendents), but it wasn't really a stereotype or an insult. It was just a general statement. No one is saying your opinions are invalid because you are younger, or that you've never experienced loss, pain, etc., but with life comes experience, with experience comes understanding, with understanding comes clarity. Music like this gives me solace when waking up each day is hard.
 
I didn't real mean to write all that. No one reads long shit on here.

Anyways, I'm glad I'm able to appreciate the follow up right out of the gate. It was still a grower for me, but after a week I was madly in love. I'm just glad the heartbreak I'm feeling listening to this is some sort of solace. So yeah, this is album of the year material for me (and that's coming from someone who doesn't care for any other of their projects).
 
As far as LP1 vs. LP2, to me they're both their own thing. I hold LP1 in very high regard, and love LP2. So I'm very happy. American Football is lovely.

I feel like this isn't that big of a deal, lots of bands sell merch, and it's not like masks are the most ridiculous thing to sell two weeks before Halloween. And I know I'm not the only person who has always wanted those masks.

I think I must be the only one who actually likes this band still. I love the new record. Spin The Dial is a great song and there's quite a bit more variety in the lyrics and sound. If anyone ordered the bsm version and feels like they don't want it anymore I'll be glad to take it off your hands

Today is the 7th anniversary of my mom passing away from lung cancer. I made the three hour drive this morning and visited her grave for the first time. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, and this album has helped me feel a little better on the ride home. I am so thankful for this album. 

Probably AOTY for me. They went above and beyond with this one. I cried hysterically within 30 seconds of the first song but by the end I felt a sense of closure. This record truly illustrates the grieving process in such honest ways. God damn. 10/10.

Gonna' be 2016's most intense 26 minutes that make me think about my mom, for sure.

Just heard "Rapture" from the album. This is going to be AOTY. 

This album is probably my favorite anthony green record after only one listen. I got the indie exclusive variant and it's pretty much just black but it sounds great. I'll probably get the tour variant in Denver if they still have them. Check this record out if you haven't already!

I, for one, know that there's always lurkers and people silently on the fence about records who browse this site... so being excited, thinking the record's great, and recommending it is fine in my eyes. I've been swayed a few times by knowing a record I was indecisive or tentative on was being received well.
 
Also, why squash someone's enthusiasm? Sure, it may sound redundant to you, but like - they're not trying to be condescending.
 
Regardless - the record's really good. Anyone unsure due to lukewarm reception of past albums should give it a try, arguably some of his best material.

Now I can finally listen to these songs even though I have the cassette. Lol 

Didnt want to start a new thread for this, but wanted to give you guys a few updates on Circa after talking with Brendan last night. 
 
1) Circa is hoping to get a new album out by next year. Brendan has been working on 5 songs, which he says are different than what hes done before as he's been playing around with different time signatures 
 
2) Expect a 10 year anniversary tour for On Letting Go with a vinyl repress 
 
3) Circa's management are working to get the rights back for Blue Sky (Brendan said at the worst, all he wants to do with the album is just repress it on vinyl)(He also said he would like to do a 10 year tour for the album, but doesn't know if it would work due to fan turn out; same can be said for violent waves) 

This album is gonna be great yall crazy. 

Saw them in Denver two nights ago and they played a new song. It was more like the upbeat songs on joy, departed than the songs on it kindly stopped for me. It was really good I'm excited to hear whatever they put out next.

Gonna wait until it's in-hand to listen but I'm so excited for this.

So probably a Wax Bodega variant of a Skyscraper 7"? Would buy immediately
