PO NOW: Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - You Will Eventually Be Forgotten


Recommended Posts

Lyrics for the third song "We Are People Here. We Are Not Numbers"

 

In the infancy of our relationship,
when we were almost exclusively hanging out
together with friends,
Cathy and I went to St. John's Applefest

It was held every fall in the parking lot of the Catholic church
I had attended as a youth,
converting the quarter-mile of parish grounds into a second-rate carnival
full of cheap thrills and poorly-maintained rides

We meandered through the crowds
like tourists,
eventually ending up at the pirate ship at the far end of the fair

(A mechanical boat that rose into the sky,
then swooped back down in the other direction like a swallow diving for insects)

Cathy was nervous and began to fidget, refusing to get in line
before our friends and I talked her into going

When the ride started,
any romantic idea I had of holding hands or an embrace
was quickly abandoned when I saw the white-knuckled grip on the safety rail
like she feared for her life

Doing a big package order with this one. Prawn, E!E!, Field Mouse, My Fictions, and Brave Bird distro

Should just put Field Mouse with Braid if you're getting that and do two packages, you really don't want to miss out on that Field Mouse record.

I'm doing two, Prawn/E!E! And Field Mouse/Braid.

I'm cool with waiting on the physical for Field Mouse and My Fictions for a little bit, especially because I want that Braid LP ASAP. I have it shipping with Grow Up, Dude 5th press

So is anyone waking up early tomorrow on the slight chance that this might pop up for pre-order? Or is that ridiculous? I have no reason to assume it'd be exactly one week after Prawn, but everyone's suspicion has me curious.

Well, I'll be up anyways for work, so I'll check Topshelf around the time their preorders usually go up.  I doubt this goes up tomorrow though.

Better safe than sorry? Haha. I'll be up anyway so I'll probably have my email and topshelf on standby in the morning I guess
