i'm not even sure how I should feel about all this- its a mixture of sadness and excitement.  I think i'm going to explode.

They did discuss vinyl in general, but not how many records were pressed for Record Store Day. He mentioned some vinyl he just purchased:

Bobby Womack - Across 110th Street Soundtrack
Aretha Franklin - Amazing Grace
Jiminy Crickey: Multiplication and Division
A banjo album and some others I am blanking on right now

He said he has a bunch of old vinyls that went through a flood, but it doesn't matter that they are a little dinged up. It's not always about the sound, but just being home and relaxing with a record. He said his AC/DC Highway to Hell still has some sewage on it, but it's alright because it sounds even filthier now.

Did anyone else catch the interview?

It was via telephone so he could have been anywere in the cosmos. He did say Omaha was where he picked up the records, so I assume they recorded MOF there.

[aMillionDreams]

I was under the impression they recorded MOF in Nashville.

Nice...I'm going to cross my fingers for an ACL appearance!

October??? Yay!

Awesome. I thought I was going to have to wait until 2010. Going to shows is kind of difficult for me since I don't have a car but if they play Chicago or Detroit, I'll be there.
