stl_ben Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 One thing that strikes me as odd is that they put up a Xmas single to order a day before Xmas. Meaning everyone gets their order on like Jan 4-7th...right when Xmas is in full swing. I can't wait to play this in a few weeks to get the family in the festive spirit for Xmas 2016Records aren't like milk, they don't go bad in a few weeks. You can listen to it next year and every year after that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have missed the point. Your brain might be fried by the 3 week old milk you are drinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I'm guessing the poster may have missed the point of hyping something on a holiday, you get lots of eyes on your story as there is little new news. And it's not like posting it so close to Christmas slowed the sales down at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It seems like all that Benny and Ben are saying is the timing is a little odd. It's like they missed the stereotypical window for this type of release by a few weeks. Then again, maybe that's by design. It IS sort of an anti-holiday song, after all.

jcastrianni Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 From their FB page: so, there’s been this depressing christmas song i’d been singing to myself for the past 8 years, and every year i wouldn’t remember that i wanted to make it until december, which is just too late to actually record and release a christmas song... but this year, al doyle had a short break between hot chip tours where he could be in nyc, and pat and nancy were home, and tyler agreed to fly out from berlin for a few days, so we all recorded this together, reserved a pressing plant slot, and our friend bob weston was available to master it quickly—so that means, less than 2 weeks after we recorded it, there is actually a christmas 7", which feels like something that could only have happened a very, very long time ago. anyway, for the holidays we give you the previous, very long run-on sentence, and this song: “christmas will break your heart”, which is another one of those songs which had about 75 lines of lyrics, though we’ve knocked down to 8 to keep the suicide rate in check. have fun!

That was also on the youtube description. If only they said they'd be pressing up some more, or at least making more available for preorder or something.

Plarocks Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I would totally buy a "second pressing" on black. However, this would look really cool on transparent red vinyl with that sleeve IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Well fuck me. I saw it, and said "I'm going to take a nap and then listen to the song and likely buy this" Someone kill me. Here's to hoping Amoeba gets some. U literally did the definition of you snooze you lose, LOL. Obviously didn't want it that bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plarocks Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I wonder if DFa is gonna do some white label 7"s when this thing gets pressed and ships. I would bite if they did. However, I personally prefer picture/art sleeves over "hand stamping." However, if it included the art sleeve I would buy two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not agree with many of the views of anarchist punk bands that have been political for decades, but they have far more say than Gorillaz and James Murphy in my book. anyone else miss music about real life? politics isnt real life synapsistapped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's a bit of a hot take nowadays, but goddammit, when a song sounds good I can't help but enjoy it. These songs sound really good to me, so call me old fashioned, but I'm a fan.
