Do you still have the Autopilot Off EP?

Speaking of Hello Merch,

I just got the Moving Mountains "New Light" EP from them and it was packaged better than any record I've received lately....Props to Hello Merch seem well deserved!

It's Sam Means from The Format, isn't it?

A record I loved the summer I met my wife. Two for me!

Success. Too much refreshing and going back a page, the cardinal sins of high-traffic preorders.

FWW keeps me more up to date than anything. I pretty much don't miss any releases because of those guys

Joined. Thanks.

Suburba was definitely not a letdown. Considering it followed The End Is Not The End, I'm not sure why people were so harsh with it. If it had been released without having to compete with The End, I think people would recognize how good an album it was. To be frank, I thought The End was a bit disjointed--absolutely incredible songs but the overall flow of the album was bumpy for me. Suburba felt like a very cohesive album to me.

Opinion

I think people were harsh because The End DID come out, and the bumps were risks that almost always paid off and made for a really exciting record. Enter Suburba, which was more safe and ultimately made for a pretty vanilla record.

They do deserve to do this for a long time. Good point.

Suburba was a letdown, so I'm hesitant. Anyone else?

BEST: Secretly Canadian. Right after the green Maraqopa LP with 7"s sold out, I emailed customer service asking about it. The rep (thanks Betsey!!) somehow put a package together over the next few days and I was able to get it even though I snoozed.

WORST: The occasional eBay and Discogs seller.

I'm not as new at this as I sound, it's just Fat Wreck is notorious for not giving a heads up for stuff like this. Most of what I look for is 90's and earlier though, so thanks for the tip.

Back to the topic. The songs are decent enough, but the guitar tones are killer. Fender Jag through a Bassman, right?

Just black for me. I'm about 125 hours too late. Frustrating. You guys are pro; how do you know about the releases so fast?
