I tried on my phone but it wouldn't locate their page...I think it was just a phone issue.  Been meaning to check these guys out, though!

Must have missed out on this. I liked the post first and then a day or so later I liked the page. Not familiar enough with Facebook I guess!

What was the Like count prior to the contest?

Got back from holiday to find it waiting for me.  Looking forward to giving it a spin, and it was signed as promised:

It's a pretty solid album.  There's definitely some early MMJ guitar sound in there.

Cool news, looks like he got 3/5 of Jacket to help him out.  Wonder if he regrets leaving the band?

I bet whoever bought that custom built house is going to have a kick ass loft up in that piece.

:thumbsup:

After seeing that, I was hoping there would be a custom-built record shelf available in the pledge options, but no dice.

Very nice, I got an email from Johnny who thanked me for supporting the Ravenna Colt and said that he hopes to come back to beautiful Germany.
Such a nice gesture, I am amazed :)

Definitely. Went to the record store show tonight. Got to chat with him for few minutes. Couldn't have been nicer. I couldn't resist and took this video. Sound got a little messed up about half way through.

I keep coming back to this one, such a great album in my humble opinion.

I'm loving all the tracks, esp "Moira" -- near the middle(at 2:32) the line "Was this the work of cosmic forces?" It takes me somewhere maaaaan--the guitar and lyrics are perfect, love jq's sound...got that old school, hauntingly beautiful, lonesome, far-off, wide open spaces, early jacket sound.

A huge thank you to everyone else at the show last night! It was my first time getting the full Jacket family experience and needless to say you all are amazing. Can't wait to rock out together again Saturday night!
