TheWindBlower Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 POd the Smartpunk variant. New single is great. Really looking forward to this. The Avalanche never really left rotation for me, such a great record. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDonals Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 PO from Polyvinly, then I saw the Smart Punk /100. Jesus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 In for the TP. Got that version for his last album and it’s a nice package. Plus you get a copy of the early bird variant. It looks like the smart punk variant is also available in U.K. here https://devildogdistro.com/products/owen-the-falls-of-sioux-lp?_pos=1&_sid=d2d343d98&_ss=r whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDonals Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Well shit, that was weird. I ordered the Smart Punk variant in addition to the PV Early Bird, and the transaction looks like it went through, but I got a weird error as well. I think I'll just hold onto the Polyvinyl order too. I don't want to cancel anything and possibly end up with neither... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I never think to listen to Owen but if I see anything in the news it gets to to go through the entire catalog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcha Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Had the TP in my cart this morning…but went only early bird. new tune is solid and excited to hear it in context of the album. Giving me the same feels when he dropped a new muse for Avalance. Wasn’t wow’d but in context of the record it became a favorite. stoked for this west coast tour also!

bluethumb Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Grabbed an early bird from PV—just gotta have that bonus airhead. Fund fact, for years a friend and I have added "packing notes" to the order asking the order handler to draw a "birthday snake," or "dancing bear" on the mailer and it works about half the time (just for fun). I'm into the new single, I think my yearning for another "At Home with Owen" or "Owen EP" is in vain, but this record seems to be in line with his recent progression into more straightforward music and more introspective lyrics. Still here for it! Edited February 12 by bluethumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's meant to be fun easter egg if a fulfillment person feels so inclined, not a demand or expectation.

I wasn't the person pulling and packing most of the time, but I would get phone calls from people who were upset because even though the products were all packed well, nobody drew an elephant with a party hat on the side of the box.

Ok, I'd agree that totally sucks and I absolutely see how that would get annoying. I looked at it like a happy surprise if someone did it but completely understood that those folks don't have time to stop and personalize every package. I'll keep this in mind though, I've never thought about it from that perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted yesterday at 02:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:01 PM Album is out today. It is great. Played a bunch of new songs at the show last night. Just him and a guitar. Very cool to hear the songs that way and then listen to the album this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDonals Posted yesterday at 02:13 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:13 PM Yes, this is very good. I was surprised that Mount Cleverest made it onto the album, it's an odd departure from the traditional Owen sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he introduced it he said the working title of it was “led” because he wanted it to sound like Led Zeppelin but it ended up sounding like a Robert plant solo song instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
