sirrichardrichard Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The Muppets are big right now It's funny, of all the people I've played the Weakerthans to, only one or two actually became big fans - the biggest stumbling block for the casual fan is the voice. I've often wondered how the band would do with a different voice. Same thing with the Hold Steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fartcat Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Grabbed the album on white and the book. Between this and the Weakerthans reissues this guy is bleeding me dry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipc Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Fuck yeah! Ive been waiting so long for a JKS solo lp. The 7"s were spot on so im double super excited about this. Ordered white/t bundle and book. Im going on the premise that the colour version ie. white will be limited to 500 as per the weakerthans reissues. However, they could pull a IIOI and make the black limited... but i dont care!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobfrombob Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 1. There was originally suppposed to be 3 singles (wasn't there?) It looks like the third might be scrapped? 2. First of many dates is good. Dudes gotta play Canada! 3. Shoulda been a vinyl/book bundle. I don't need no t shirt. 4. Thanks for the heads up on this.

runneruprecords Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 weirdly got into his solo stuff before i ever heard the weakerthans, and have always had a soft spot for his own material. needless to say, i'm psyched! have been waiting for this for a very long time. that said, does anyone know anything about this union transfer place in philly? the pictures on their website make it look fucking huge!
