Did anyone else notice that it looks like the text about the 7" has changed? From the text quoted by SavedMeASeat, above:

The first vinyl run of the album will come with a copy of this 7"...

What it says now on the site:

The first pre-orders of the album will come with a copy of this 7"...

WOW. List of thoughts GO:

a) stoked about the album
b)thrilled about the bonus
c) entranced by the cover art
d) thrilled that New-Album Time means an infusion of fresh blood into my coming here and chewing the delicious fat with all you again - it's been a while.

Hey guys. Hey.

Don't like the cover or the all-caps THE, but the font is nice.

The font is incredible. But I love the cover, and yes, I wouldn't have minded a lower typeset "the", but whatevs, bré. The cover is da bomb.

Oh. I don't like this quite as much.

I'm really excited for the fact that I HAVEN"T heard any of them (been intentionally steering clear). I mean, after all this time I've got a dozen-plus Mountain Goats songs I haven't heard yet that are awaiting me!! That's such an exciting notion.

Same here! Well, I haven't managed to completely avoid them, I have listened to The Diaz Brothers. But apart from that, every song will be a beautiful surprise. So excited!

I might be away on the 23rd this month! So might have to delegate my preordering to someone else. Though hoping the CD will come with some sort of preorder bonus, too.

Is the preorder confirmed for 7/23?

Pre-orders of Transcendental Youth will be available in the Merge store beginning July 23 with a special surprise, so stay tuned!

Ugh, here we go again with the All Survivors Pack thing

I was pretty lucky to get 2 copies of the cassette with the last pre-order and gave away the extra to someone on the forums.

As with most of the recent tMG stuff it's pretty accessable to the people that really want it. The fact that you know when the pre-order happens is a good indication that you'll get it. Also I don't think they said it's limited, I'm pretty sure the surprise they're talking about is that 7" John mentioned on the main site.

I should edit this to add that I only got 2 copies because I was ordering one for my girlfriend that didn't know if she could get online that morning to pre-order and I gave away the extra once I found out she got the cassette. I don't want to sound like I'm hoarding this stuff.

I guess this means we've got to be on our best behaviour as well, lest any P4K reviewers twist our comments...

Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that "special surprise" is the 7" that is mentioned in JD's news post. Right?

Bump to remind everyone that according to Merge's initial announcement, the preorder starts tomorrow!

what what what if the album came with CCTTST. It's a long shot but in the article beneath the thing that says "hey tomorrow is the relese date for pre orders" there is detailed bit avout CCTTST. What do you think?

Does the pre-order go live @ midnight PST? In other words, should I stay up late and get it first?

I don't see anywhere that it says that... but I will be checking anyway

More likely starts with business hours

Yup. I imagine that somebody in Merge's office will have to put it online.

As cool as that would be I think it is the 7" mentioned on the front page, and JD had a tweet a few days ago about typing the art on a typewriter that he posted a picture of, so it's probably not CCTTST.

I know shlack i know. But. I can hope.
