Video’s private. What did I miss??

Mehhhhhhhh... that rendition is terrible. The original was more "acoustic" than whatever this is.

My wife and I are kicking off our summer concert season tonight. Got 4 shows in June. Barenaked Ladies/Gin Blossoms/Toad The Wet Sprocket tonight, Dave Matthews Band on Monday, Coldplay the following week, and Frank Turner/Bouncing Souls at the end of the month. Stoked!

You didn't think you could actually hear the sound of a bubble popping, but that might be it...

And 40 Hour Train + Has a Gambling Problem. I will buy a serious chunk of their catalog if they do some re-releases. DTR holds a special place in my heart (and I'm sure a lot of you all, as well). Actually, for the last decade or so, I've tried to put together a DTR tribute band, but it never got off the ground. Maybe one day...

You can buy a test press for $150. https://mxpx.com/products/copy-of-vinyl-test-presses-box-set-limited-edition-7

Mine's out for delivery toady.

Got shipping email, too. Sweet!

So I contacted Saddle Creek about needing to change my shipping address, and I was told the LP's should be shipping this week. However, the 7"s are delayed so if you ordered the bundle, they'll be shipping the 7"s separately. EDIT - They just sent an email out confirming this. They expect to have the 7"s around August.

The page says they won't be shipping until late June/early July so if the band gets any, it'll only be for the second leg of the tour.

/1000 ordered easy peasy EDIT - Looks like the /1000 is already sold out. Damn!

Hoping it’s 3,000 of just one version so the variant collectors will only need to buy one.

Yeah, it's only 9 songs. There's a good chance it'll end up being 15-20 minutes total.

I haven't gotten an email yet, but the package showed up on my USPS app over the weekend.

Nothing yet. It’s been about 2 years since they announced it and auctioned off a test press for charity.

Awww. This is the best.

They were originally only available for their fan club. Don't you get it? You gotta give them money in order to pay even more money for the more limited things nowadays.

Well.. I'm excited I get to sleep in on April 23rd.

I had a similar setup years ago. Most soundbars have at least one RCA input, but you'll need a separate preamp. I used a Pro-Ject Phono Box and it worked fine.

Got #1742. Spinning Mad Season now and it sounds fantastic.

Up on Saddle Creek's store, too (available without the 7" for a few bucks cheaper if you don't want it). Desaparecidos - Read Music/Speak Spanish (Remastered) - Saddle Creek (saddle-creek.com)

I had a positive experience from SRC a few weeks ago. They finally restocked the +44 album on the US site and I got it within a week. It also shipped from a random distribution center in Kentucky and not from NY so that was a surprise.

I'm pretty sure it did. I'm not seeing it on the site anymore. They did put some back up for sale last week when they started shipping (I was able to add around 90 to my cart at the time). Mine's getting delivered tomorrow. Excited to finally have this in my hands.

For real. And I just got my box set shipping email!
