Indeed it is. Some of us needed some time to figure it out.

I really disliked it when it came out, just couldn't connect with it since it was so slick and built out with the full band. DC lost me on that one, but I loved the follow up to it. I only came around to A Mark when I picked up an original pressing for $25 last year intending to make $20 off of it but once I started spinning it I realized I had been missing out on something great all this time and won't sell it now. I think this reissue might bring a bunch of people around to it.

Alter The Ending is up on the site too, get it in your cart!

Nevermind, just saw the pressing in 1000. Missed it when reading the copy yesterday. Carry on, everyone.

Yes, this is correct.

Have not listened to it yet, but I'm pleased with the packaging, big fan of how simple and wonderful this is. Disks were super clinging to the sleeves though, be aware when you go to get the records out. Though; someone would have to be at "Damien Rice has a restraining order against me" level to have paid $500 on ebay for this thing and not be utterly disappointed.

Just got a refund notification for my purchase of this album and it is back up listed as available. What's up?

Nah.

Fuck, should have bought another with my girlfriend's info.

Was worried when the site crashed, but that went smoother than expected.

Good news, I got my email saying they're ready for pick up so I'd say the wait is over - no bundle 2 nightmare.

40% off Side One Dummy with code FOURTWENTY today, FYI. Ordered this motherfucker today.

I think once the standard is released it'll be everywhere. The /1000 however - that shit is going to be a stress case.

OK.

Still able to add 327 to my cart, which doesn't seem that low. At this point I'd reckon sales have levelled out and these will be around for a while still.

Fuck. I was looking forward to zero stress around this release. Now I'll have to deal with a boat load of flippers and dipshits without record players buying this too.

Giving the people what we truly want.

Looks like the pre-orders are on their way! Mine just arrived at my work a few moments ago, what a pleasant surprise!

And another! First press blue Through Being Cool for $49. This guy actually sold three, first one for $39, mine for $49 to account for shipping to Canada and then another for $49. I didn't believe it until I opened it up today and ta-da! Sealed Saves. Chuffed!

Yeah, all Hayden social media has made it hard to miss so I'm surprised anyone who'd want this album could miss out. You shouldn't worry though, it took a while for the preorder to sell out, so I assume it shouldn't be too hard to order from the site on release day. Just make sure you visit the site early EST on the 9th.

Up for early preorder mailing list subscribers now. Grabbed one despite floating on an East African island in the Indian Ocean right now. Good timing with the WiFi, so no need to worry about hooking me up Mr. Crosley.

Thanks for the offer! If I'm on a plane or stuck without a signal somehow I'll happily buy it off you. I'll let you know either way. Winter Trip, to my knowledge isn't out anywhere. Even though I've been a big fan since early on I don't remember ever even hearing it. It's the one track I guess I'm most excited for.

Totally. Despite having the original 10" all the 7"s I am INTO this. Little worried about the March 9th sale day though as I am flying home from a work trip to Ventura California that day and am likely to be without reliable service. Either way, stoked that Hayden is doing this.

Looks like a 20th anniversary of Moving Careful is on its way with added bonus material. From Hardwood Records: Hardwood Records will release the second piece in its 20th Anniversary Vinyl Series with Hayden’s Moving Careful on March 9, 2018 on digital and limited edition vinyl formats. This vinyl is the first pressing since the original 10” and features the original EP from 1996 with added rare recordings from 7” singles released between 1994 and 1996. “After touring my debut, Everything I Long For, across Canada for the better part of two years from 1994-96, I celebrated its imminent International release by developing a strong dislike for the sound of my music. A major sticking point in my negotiations with Outpost Recordings (my US label at the time) was to have the ability to release singles and EPs on my own or through smaller labels. They agreed, and Moving Careful was born from late night obsessions on the third floor of a rented Victorian house in Toronto. Although much of my debut was recorded on a 4-track cassette, I was eager to get back to my Yamaha MT100 II, and very inspired by what Eric’s Trip and Lou Barlow were doing at the time.” Moving Careful was released on Hardwood/Sonic Unyon in late 1996. Side Two of this 20th Anniversary edition also includes home recordings from the time period, things that Hayden had tucked away and found homes on Canadian Indies like Lunamoth, Landspeed and Squirtgun.

I will give New Inheritors another listen this week but I remember the remarkable disappointment I felt when I first got a copy in 2010 and sat down to listen to it. I remember feeling so sad for the band that they had written, released, and recorded such an unremarkable album. There is also an important context for the first three albums for me though, I was living in Halifax in 2002/2003 and saw a few shows where there were 10-20 people there, attended the album release show for the first album, and saw them live at poorly attended shows and house parties in New Brunswick throughout the next two albums. So, for me it's really just a lack of personal connection to the music from 2010 on I guess. But, I should give the albums a chance, and I will. I have a few 13 hour flights coming up on Sunday - so I'll load up my phone with the jams. I still doubt I'll ever want them on large format physical media though. Anyway, I am 100% stoked to have been awake early enough to grab all three coloured presses today. Might end up selling my original Welcome, even.
