There's a copy of Lo-Fi on eBay for a small fortune. Not my sale so not linking, but it's pretty easy to find, maybe you can talk the seller down to a realistic price.

I agree, this one is really good. This and Harridan are my favorites, totally different vibes so hard to choose.

I'm pretty sure it's the same, just a repost.

I guess it would depend on the person, if I knew anything of their taste or not. I think Weapon, Last Parade, Rabbits, and Giant are pretty good contenders to start with. Maybe something off Arrows. FWIW, I'm american and I fell for Failing the Rorscach Test and Suburbia. Oh and Born to Kill.

Wow, really loving Harridan, can't wait to hear the rest.

I would say Cloudbusting.

Although I won't attempt to argue as eloquently, I completely agree with Matt. You simply can't produce the same sounds digitally that are available using real musicians/analog/high end mic/outboard gear. I knew a lot of folks who preferred to work completely "in the box" and I could never figure out why. Some people don't think they have the chops to mix otherwise I suppose.

Not in its original form, but the piano version of Rabbits is stunning. Dusk and All Together have that feel for me as well.

Listened to these further on the commute home. Seemed very fitting for the long, dark drive and onset of cold weather (don't laugh, it's freaking frigid for down south). I really like the pronunciation of some of the lyrics, particularly in Tiger By The Tail, whether it was intentional or not I thought it sounded really cool, especially after seeing the lyrics. Many thanks to Matt for making these available to us. I really enjoyed the commentary on the way things were vs technology available today. I often comment how my kiddo will not grow up with the excitement of listening to the radio for hours on end to be able to record your favorite song to a cassette, then be hopefully fortunate enough to have a double cassette deck to make the perfect mix tape. Aaaaand now I feel old.

I really like the vibe of both of these songs. The others were great, but these are something special for sure.

Awesome, I might take you up on that if you don't hear from your winner. Keep me posted!

I really wanted to bid on that jacket, but, the kiddo's Santa gift is higher on the priority totem pole at this time it turns out. Hope you made out well with your items.

Aww I started watching that jacket on eBay last night. Is it a light jacket or lined? Definitely interested if I can find some extra cash.

There is a new demo up on the blog, "Something Like a Storm", it is showing as 21 minutes long, and Matt says will be taken down around 430 PST today. Listening now!

Garden of Knives, Letters in Wartime, Via Dolorosa

Set list 2, for Prinetime Deliverance, Rat Who Would Be King, Failing the Rorscach and Running for Home. I would miss Garden of Knives but those would more than make up for it, along with a few other favorites I saw in there at second glance.

Another new demo is up, "Night Orders"

I was able to catch it. I wouldn't mind sharing if someone would let me know whether that's alright or not. I really like this direction, and am looking forward to see how it progresses.

I'm interested if you still have it.

My guess would be that they only included a digital download with preorders since the shipping was so far after the official release.

Received my vinyl and it sounds great, as expected. Just wanted to throw out this warning: if your turntable had a "stylus force" setting, make sure it's on 0, or it sounds totally wonky.

You know, I have just begun to scratch the surface of Live Road. I thought I might be too bitter about not being able to attend a show after the whole cancellation ordeal. But. These recordings are amazing and I am extremely thankful for them. Yes, I realize what an amazing show I've missed, but it still lets me have a piece of that. And Matt, I am truly grateful for it. I have to read back more, but I would love to know specifics on the actual recording. I was heading up a live web stream for shows at work last year and always wanting to learn more on the process of it all.

Just received tracking numbers in email, and package is already leaving IL and on its way to me in Texas.

I emailed them yesterday to see if they had gone out and is the response: We just received these records in yesterday and have been packing the orders non-stop. Your order will be shipped most likely by today, if it hasn’t already been picked-up. You should receive an email from Canada Post once they have picked up and scanned your parcel.

Just in case anyone else was wondering, here is the response from Maple Music: Thanks for getting in touch with us! Unfortunately, there has been another delay with the manufacturing of these records and are still waiting for a new date of arrival. Hopefully, they will be ready in the next week or so and we’ll have your order shipped as soon as possible. Once it has been picked-up by Canada Post, you will receive an email from them containing your tracking information. Please don’t hesitate to ask for another update if you haven’t received any updates from us over the next few weeks.
