Thank you so much. How did you rip it, USB turntable?

did your payment get accepted? i sent the paypal money and it still says payment pending. according to paypal the transaction went through.

My amazon JP order says arriving October 27 but no doubt it will get cancelled too. I hope they're still selling the vinyl at shows in November.

could you record my enemy by usb? i ordered from amazon US but they say it wont be dispatched for another couple weeks

interesting. so at least we know it isnt restricted to the acoustic in store performances. i ordered a copy from amazon japan. i wonder if that will get cancelled at some point given that theyre saying its exclusive to tours with preorder.

god dammit i just missed the boat on this. im in the uk too. anyone who has this able to rip My Enemy and share it with those of us who cant hear it? That would be very much appreciated.

No worries. I mean hell even if you put your phones microphone up to your speaker as it plays My Enemy that would still be something, but that's entirely up to you.

Any chance of ripping and uploading the b-side? I worry there may never be another opportunity to hear it. It would be very much appreciated if possible.

Thanks for the info. Damn, I hope the vinyl gets released. If not then I at least hope someone rips My Enemy and shares it online as right now it seems to be the only way to hear that B-side.

Good luck! I would care more about that 7" too to be honest. Unfortunately I don't see any way to get it in the UK yet. Edit: Sorry about the triple post! *facepalm*

Looks like you would have to take multiple trips though to see the show and then to pick up the vinyl at a later date? They seem pretty weird about sending out deliveries on that page.

Anyone seen this?: http://ltcds.com/jimmy-eat-world-comes-to-looney-tunes/ In-store acoustic performance where the Sure and Certain + My Enemy vinyl will be given away for free on the 28th Sept.

I remember you too! Both as 'lobster' and on /r/postrock. It's quite a comforting thing to see familiar usernames cropping up on different sites. It's a small world of course but seeing familiar faces does make you feel a part of something, if that makes sense.

yes i was! and i remember you from there too. that was a cool place to be. its interesting when these old communities exploded that the users got scattered among various different other online communities and you still see people cropping up here and there sometimes. its cool. still a loyal postrock fanatic, although my allegance tends to be to bands that were around before 2011 or so, so i dont often "feel" the newer bands like i did the genre staples like pg.lost. i mean they certainly arent an "old" band for the genre, but i feel they established themselves in time before the genre really exploded with way too many bedroom musicians to count. thats not a derisive thing either... im a bedroom musician who makes derivative postrock music for fun. but theres something about those bands that really got under your skin in the days when things were still slightly more underground. so i think ill always have an affinity for pg.lost. but yeah i love the new album.

I've always loved pg.lost and I find the new album to be excellent. So don't give up hope.

Track times: 1. You With Me (5:18) 2. Sure and Certain (3:35) 3. It Matters (3:54) 4. Pretty Grids (4:11) 5. Pass The Baby (5:23) 6. Get Right (2:49) 7. You Are Free (4:14) 8. The End Is Beautiful (4:25) 9. Through (2:51) 10. Integrity Blues (3:12) 11. Pol Roger (6:47)

Apparently (according to a member on chorus.fm), Jim's appearance has been brought forward to 7:30.

WHAT! can you link me to information about this? Edit: Found this http://news.sky.com/story/southern-rail-staff-to-stage-48-hour-strike-in-september-10548696 I guess it won't affect anyone travelling from the North down to Kings Cross, which is good, but I really feel sorry for everyone who may not be able to make it to the gig as a result of this.

I wasn't on here before. I confess I just signed up when the new album got announced (please don't hate me, I have preordered the vinyl). Yeah I've posted on reddit; I'm kind of going wherever there's discussion about JEW because unfortunately there isn't a central resource anymore like there was in the BBS days. Although realistically if there was still a message board I'm sure it would be pretty dead by now anyway. Yeah I didn't get to see the Clarity -> Futures gig which is such a bummer; that must have been amazing. I always enjoy their gigs but last year seeing Jim on his solo tour was by far the most special. Probably my favourite ever concert. Something just so personal about the whole experience. Can't wait for this album. Often my listening habits for Jimmy Eat World wane in-between albums, and then when a new album gets announced I always almost involuntarily bounce back into fanboy mode. There's never been a band that has got under my skin in the same way. I really like the new single too mostly because it sounds quite comfortable for JEW, whereas I felt CTL and Invented were in some sense them trying to hard to accomplish something that isn't really "them". Whatever that means. So yes I'm excited, especially since the production is back to being full-sounding after Damage, which fell quite flat I think, production-wise.

speaking of which, hi burkey, its scott (or with-lucky-denver-mint on the BBS board!). good to see youre still keeping an eye on jimmy. every 3 years i revert back to my fanatical state, trying to get every little detail i can on the new album. will never let this band go!

Are there any long/epic songs on the album? Get Right is pretty short. Anything in the vein of 23? Or atmospheric tracks like Drugs or Me? How the heck did you get this?
