It's cool...I had no idea which parts were sarcastic and which weren't...I happen to love working in the bar industry, and find that it pays the bills and leaves me with a pretty good sum of money left over at the end of the day. sorry you lost your job, that's a bummer.

well, there's a reason i was there for a decade. i just have to violently curb my record-buying until i land something new. not so simple these days...

I hope it doesn't take you too long...always breaks my heart to hear of someone in the industry who doesn't have a steady gig...

Oh goodness...I wish I could remember where I read it...but I'm pretty sure I read something where JV said there would be an online release...he was talking about how he and JD aren't huge fans of the CD format...and preferred the digital and vinyl mediums...

If true, then awesome! Though a CD would be nice. Generally more convenient.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, hoping they could do a MiniDisc-only release.

if anybody here spends a hundred dollars on a record of which there are many hundreds of copies waiting to be sent to distributors

Weren't they referring to Devil In The Shorwave? Are copies of that still that easily available?

Why's everyone in this thread a f***ing Mountain Goats fan?!

I'm 99% sure it was in reference to Moon Colony Bloodbath...pretty sure DITS isn't that easy to come by...and that there aren't hundreds of copies waiting to be shipped to distributors.

People buy toast with the Virgin Mary on it for thousands of dollars on the ebay. I will never-ever get it.

you obviously haven't ever eaten marmalade off a virgin mary, attercop311.

No, but I have eaten marmite off of a french man's shirt.

2nd copy on eBay went for 41...seems like people are coming to their senses...

okay seriously, someone leak this already...(I'll buy the record when it becomes available, promise)

okay seriously, someone leak this already..

Uhm.. No offense, but if you are looking for a download of the music this probably isn't the best place. You do realize that John (the artist formally known as the Mountain Goats) reads these threads right?

I guess it's like the sign in by the register in the movie clerks. "If you plan on shoplifting, please let us know."

Fixed!

Tact on the internet is nonexistent.

I'm waiting patiently for any news for an online purchase. John didn't hit Philly this time so I couldn't snag one, which is alright, he'll pay us Philadelphians back tenfold I know.
But yeah, I'm remaining optimistic, John takes care of his patient devotees. And even if no one gets the record itself, I'm sure the songs will surface when all of the records have been sold. No big deal. You can't take the record with you when you die, but it's nice to have, sure. Not the end of the world though.

I plan to shoplift since I don't have a record player.

am i the only person compulsively reloading mooncolonybloodbath.com daily praying that it will resolve into a download site a la satanicmessiah.com ?

maybe instead you should shoplift a record player, and support artists that you like.

I mean, come on, go to the damn thrift store & get one for $5 if you just want to hear it. You don't have to buy some top of the line system.

While I don't support shoplifting, coming by an inexpensive record player isn't as easy as going down to the record store. All the indie kids are doing it, and supply is low, meaning the only reliable record players, in my area anyway, are new ones from independent record stores. Usually they still aren't cheap (90-150 depending on how hi-tech) but it's a far cry from 5 dollars.

But still dude, don't steal, get a second job or sit tight for another stimulus check.

Hahahaha, you guys are so full of it. If I posted a link to a free download of this album, every goddamn one of you would download it.

I pay for concerts, I've bought plenty of CDs, but I don't pretend I don't download the shit I can't afford. I am also fairly sure that there isn't one of you that doesn't have stolen music on their computer that they don't own the original for.

I apologize for the prosetlyzing I'm about to do, but it's only because I want you to get more enjoyment out of music. Listening to 128 kbps MP3's seriously sucks. Buying vinyl and listening to music on vinyl is like when I switched from store-bought pre-ground pepper to getting a pepper grinder--much better.

I used to download music and I used to scoff at audiophiles that buy things on vinyl because it 'sounds' better. Not anymore. It just has a warmer sound to it, and it just feels more real than a CD because you're actually owning the music itself instead of a digital representation of it. I enjoy the ritual of taking my records out and cleaning them and listening to them with other people.

I feel like tMG really tries to make CD's and LP's that are good to own. I feel like the artwork is pretty nice to have and I appreciate owning it for the music and the artwork of it.

Another downloading debate?

Meh.

It's just a noise. A noise you hear. When everything is awesome

I used to have a record player, but I gave it to a friend of mine. I want to go to itunes while I'm on my computer, it's easy and there isn't a noticeable difference to me. I don't want to use records, they are large and annoying, not to mention I really do not see the difference you mention.

I would obviously love to own a copy, but if it came to having to buy it to hear it my desire to eat and have shelter would probably mean I would never get to listen to it.
