My Morning Jacket

Celebración De La Ciudad Natal
(http://www.mymorningjacket.com/gogo/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/celebracion350.jpg)

hello friends. we are proud to announce and release a lil live ep that was recorded right in our very own hometown of louisville, ky. a few songs were taken from our in-store appearence at our beloved and fabled record haven "ear-x-tacy" and a few of them were taken from our concert at the fabled "waterfront park." see if you can guess which is from which. we are excited to make this a special release that you can only get at your favorite local independent record store, as now more than ever we all need to take the time to celebrate what our favorite local record stores and businesses mean to us - the value of community/human to human non- internet related physical and spiritual contact and supporting the hardworking people in your community who strive everyday to keep it unique and keep it local. we are fortunate in our travels to get to see many wonderful things, but one of the most distressing things is the increasing "normalization" of the world and how all these places are starting to look the same- everywhere you look more and more towns are starting to be filled with the same gigantic corporations, and while some of these huge companies undoubtably provide valuable services, it is so important that we realize that it is our local businesses and people (and natural landscapes, but thats a different letter) that are what make different towns worth coming to...things you can only get in one place, made and sold by people who believe in what they are doing...people who are trying to keep good weirdness alive in this crazy dome. god* bless all of you, and god* bless the world and all that kinda sh*t.

-yer pals, my morning jacket

p.s.- *the word "god*" is used here meaning anything you want it to mean and is a trademark of globo-chem worldwide.


The EP (in both CD and limited edition double 10" vinyl) will be available at finer independent retailers beginning on Record Store Day, April 18.

lol... any pit pat on the ep?

really, though: super excited about this.

lol @ 6:06

Any speculation on whether or not there will be some sort of concert film? Judging on the behind the scenes it looks like they can make a bad ass DVD (or Blu-Ray PLEASE!!).

It makes it sound like it's going to be available in Vinyl and CD separately, versus Vinyl with a CD copy inside......

"we are excited to make this a special release that you can only get at your favorite local independent record store, as now more than ever we all need to take the time to celebrate what our favorite local record stores and businesses mean to us - the value of community/human to human [size=16]non- internet related[/size] physical and spiritual contact and supporting the hardworking people in your community who strive everyday to keep it unique and keep it local."

gee, what could they mean by that?  ::)

This behind the scenes is too cool!

The behind the scenes is giving me flashbacks of probably the best weekend of my life. Man, that would be swell if they came out with a full length DVD.

Too bad there is no store anywhere near my home.
Glad to hear there's something going on and I'm sure its great

Edit: and halfway through the video, it makes me quite happy.
I want to see them live this summer. PLEASE

this is too cool, but do you think every record store is going to be getting this?  Should i expect to be able to pick it up at the shitty little record store we have here in Albany, NY?  :-?

There is a list of stores that will have it here: http://www.recordstoreday.com/Venues

I called the one nearest to me and pre-ordered a couple of copies, so maybe give that a shot!

yay for oz music in tuscaloosa, al!

and yeah, the video was sweet. i had a great time that weekend... did the nashville to ky thing, and it was epic. can't wait to relive it via this ep!

Exile On Main Street!

Boo Yahhhhh!

Haven't had a chance to watch the video yet...

YAY YAY YAY!!!!!! New jacket...psyched to get home from work to watch the video... :D

I got a little teary-eyed watching.  That was a great couple of days...meeting the band the night before, then that spectacular set in Louisville!

I posted the video in MP4 format at The Steam Engine.

http://thesteamengine.blogspot.com/2009/03/my-morning-jacket-celebracion-de-la_11.html

Really cool video! Hoping to get my hands on the EP somewhere in the UK  :)

Thank you guys!!! This is priceless. I was there and they captured the essence of the day on film.Can't wait for the ep.

Just one more thing...........DVD PLEASE!!!!

if there's a secret concert thing when you put the cd on the computer i will fuckin freak out.

Waterfront Park:
Can't wait to watch the vid! One of my best friends had been having a really hard time with life in general around that time. His parents who'd been married for 25 years were getting divorced and life in general just sucked for him. So, I told him I had a suprise and that we were going somewhere and I wouldn't tell him what we were doing. I only gave him a few clues, but I knew there was NO way he'd figure it out. He wasn't really a "fan" per se as he didn't know much about them. He knew it was a "musical event" we were going to be staying overnight and we were headed south/southeast. The morning of before he arrived at my place I sent him a text and said "its kind of chilly this morning I might need a jacket." nothing....
So we were about 30 mins south of Indianapolis and I told him what we were doing. He was mildly excited...  :-/
So we checked into our hotel and went to Bearno's (the one downtown) and had a couple beers. Then we rolled down to the show and had a great time. We went back to Bearno's after the show and sat with a real nice couple from Alabama (?) for a short while. The next day we walked up and down Bardstown Road...went to Ear-x-tacy, etc.
When we got home I mailed him a care package of the entire MMJ studio album collection complete with my recommendation for the order in which to listen to them and brief reviews of each one, pictures, and a shirt that said "gettin' lucky in Kentucky." He really wanted to get one while we were there, but we never did so I ordered him one. That's my story of that great experience. I can't wait to watch the vid and share that with him too.
Oh, and now he's a huge fan..... ;) I already told him we're doing L-ville again this summer if it happens!  :)

Ahh I am sooo excited. This is too good.  :D

haha.... we can only hope for a guest spot by everyone's favorite magical, pansexual, non-threatening spokesthing.  maybe a "take it from me, i love you!" during the off the record outro or something.

can't wait to see which songs from the waterfront park show make the cut.

I thoroughly enjoyed the behind the scenes video they posted.

I enjoyed the part where the little girls were playing that slap hand thing they play, and you could hear the voice from the chorus of Highly Suspicious. They all looked baffled by what they were hearing  ;D

LET'S SPECULATE

You're not funny!!!  :P

I love that picture, though. They need to sell that as a t-shirt!!!!

soulshine...just curious did this couple from Alabama get everyone on Bearno's smoking patio to take their shoes off (like 12ppl!!)...just curious.

also..here's some more info on the ep, didn't see the track list posted anywhere else:

seriously, i would wear that t-shirt frequently.  when i first saw it, I though "it's the cabbage patch queen!" and then I realized they were roses, not cabbages.  maybe that's just me who even thought cabbages.  anyway, the image has a wondrous and enchanting absurdity to it.   if i didn't know what wondrous, enchanting and occasionally gloriously absurd music lay inside, i would be curious to find out.

That video was incredible.  I was reliving the whole show at Waterfront.  Too bad there weren't videos from Ear Xtacy also.  You all should see how packed that place was.  To the Gills!

Yes Yes Yes Yes...SO SWEET...give it to me...sorry I'm a little excited! [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

I know! That was hilarious!

unravelled: No, we were sitting indoors at the Bearno's downtown. There were a couple bands that played. We shared a booth with this 1 other couple. They were really nice, but we didn't stay and talk too long. We had a couple beers and went back to the hotel. I feel like maybe they said they were going to NYE, but I'm not certain. I think the guy had dark brown curly hair. I dont know why I remember that but I do. I do remember they were incredibly kind.  :)

Also, I was the chick in the overalls on the right of the soundboard (if you're facing the stage) that was putting glow bracelets and glow necklaces on everyone around me...just incase any of you are here. Everyone around me was super nice and fun! People of all ages....Good times. ;)

I needed the "official" news and that video so much today.  Thank you.

Also, I'm glad to know that within the next 25 years (hopefully sooner) that concert will be released for our viewing and listening pleasure.

That setlist is killer

Is this "Waterfront Park" show the same one that has those fireworks during war begun?

QuoteThat setlist is killer

Nope.  That was Riverfront Park in Nashville.  They were back to back nights.  They played Heartbreakin' Man and Knot Comes Loose at this show though.  Knot Comes Loose was right around the sunset.

The video is great. All around perfect day in my book. Beautiful day, fantastic show musically, full moon, good people.......thoroughly enjoyed myself in Louisville for my first time visiting.

Where to begin was a definite highlight as well as the Steam Engine.

Nice job MMJ  :)

Awesome video from the best day of my summer. Me and 2 friends flew in from Philadelphia that morning, and flew home the next morning. No hotel. Great show. Awesome to see my group a couple of times in that too  ;D

pretty sure I saw you; like 4 people back from the rail? looking at the screen, sort of lower right (but not real low)?

A pleasant surprise  ;D ;D

I emailed Amoeba Music and they said that you can order if from them over the web on 4/18. In case you don't have a independent record store near you.

I wish they would release that image as a poster.  I would love to have the poster with the horses.  I think it would be great for the Ear X-tacy show poster.

very cool video and love they played cobra on this tour, such a great tune.

How many tracks total on the EP? and any idea how much its gonna be? not that it matters!!!!

Yay!!!
This EP is going to be awesome.

crap. might not be able to make it to the store this day. anyone help me out?

I'm going to be in Burlington VT on the 18th. I notice there are 2 stores there, can anyone recommend one over the other? My time is limited and technically it's a gift trip to the fiancee, so I need to allocate my time properly and can only waste time at one store.

I just got a ThinkIndie email saying it was available now...

Hmm...that email doesnt give a date,  just the title did i guess. that thinkindie site also has it listed as 4/18 still.

their store locator also doesnt list any in Pittsburgh  >:(

I thought there would be a couple stores that I know about that would definitely be getting this. Are the stores they list just the ones that are affiliated with them or something?

Can anyone confirm if this is out yet? I thought it didn't come out til later this month.
Headdy, if you go to the front of this site it has a link listed for stores carrying the CD. I don't know any of the Pittsburgh stores, I'm gonna see if they'll mail me it.

I doubt it, but Id just say call a few of these stores from the Burgh tomorrow.

Shit, well there's a ton from the Burgh based on that. I know about Jerry's Records in Squirrel Hill - its supposedly in the Top 10 vinyl stores based on a thread someone started here not long ago - which is why I was surprised it wasnt on Kory's link.

Ill probably pick it up there then throw a round of Disc Golf at Schenley Park. Sounds like a good day  8-)

Its easy, man. All you gotta do is get off the Squirrel Hill exit on 376, go straight  thru the 1st red light (its like this crazy 5-way intersection on Murray Ave.) and Jerry's Records is right there on your left.

Just dont buy my copy  ;D

...

I'm just sayin I'm confused because I don't know if it's already out or if I have to wait

Ha, sorry.  I would but my the camera on my blackberry's not working.  (Likely story, right?).  The inside artwork is very cool though.  

Here's something interesting though.  The CD actually has 8 tracks, and not 7 as reported.  When I put it in, I was like "no way, a bonus song!"  And EAC didn't recognize the track names so I couldn't tell what was what so I had to listen and then manually name them.  Turns out track 3 is 2:04 of Jim talking about supporting independent record stores, retailers, etc..... but no extra music.  Still pretty cool.

So far the best track is "Phone Went West." Great to finally have an official live version of that one, which was such an important song (to me, at least) on the 2008 tour.

Just out of interest, anybody know for certain whether any UK stockists will have this ? I tried Rough Trade, but they didn't seem to think they would....  :-/

I'm gonna go check out my local store today before work, hopefully it's there. I have to pick up the new Hold Steady Live Cd/DVD today anyway.

Good Records.

God dammit! You know EarXtacy won't put it out early as it's local and it means something to them as well as they're having a listening party the night before...

The guy at Dimple pointed out the new PJ Ten box set thing when I was  trying to buy the Ten reissue so I got that a week ago or so. 8-)  I asked him about the MMJ release and he ordered it for me  :)
Congrats on the house man! That's great [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Quoteyou planning on being at the store at 10 LD?

Yeah...maybe sooner.  TEO's coming in and I talked to Dylan the other day.  It could possibly be a "thing" so that would be cool.  I'm certain Goose will be there.  What are you doin'?

I want that EP, are those listed record stores really the only ones where it's going to be available? We don't have a single one in austria :/

One of the guitar lines being played in the "I'm ready for it now" part of Evil Urges on this particular live recording reminds me of the song "Ammaring" by J Mascis & the Light

So does the double 10 inch still come with a CD?

well i contacted both of my local 'participating' record shops and neither of them will be offering the mmj lp. joy.

Quotejust went to amoeba in sf and they said its not being sold til the 18th.  why are some putting it out early?!

I know my store has it but he won't sell until Record Store Day.

I reserved a copy. I understand why he is waiting till the 18th, prolly so more folks go there and buy other stuff.

I just resurrected my turntable (for Easter  ;D ) and thanks to MMJ I will be spinning vinyl again.

Can't wait.

QuoteGod dammit! You know EarXtacy won't put it out early as it's local and it means something to them as well as they're having a listening party the night before...

Even if I found a leak today, I wouldn't listen to it...I'm waiting until Friday night MF'ers!

Agreed, the anticipation makes it that much better.  Plus I get to see all you fools!

CD Alley in Chapel Hill, NC, had 2 LPs last Saturday.  I bought one, of course.  I'm torn as to whether to buy the CD separately.  Yeah, the LP comes with one, but it's only in a paper sleeve.  I'd like to have the CD in the proper packaging, but if there are too many other Record Store Day goodies available this Saturday, I might have to make do.

Approximately 30 minutes ago.....

Dave: Excuse me sir, do you have any of the Record Store Day merchandise available now?

Record Store Dude (in an angry tone that can only be described as a voice someone might use after you shot their dog):  No, it will be available on RECORD STORE DAY!

Dave (meekly): OK,  Well can I buy some Forecastle Tickets?

Record Store Dude:  We don't sell tickets here!

Record Store Owner (listening intently in the background): Actually, we do sell Forecastle tickets here but they haven't arrived yet.   Try back next week.  What Record Store Day release are you looking for?

Record Store Dude walks away silent.   :)

Dave:  My Morning Jacket

Record Store Owner:  We have tons of the vinyl and a few CDs so there should be plenty next week.

Dave:  Thanks!

anyone on here found a copy in the philly area maybe centre city or maybe south jersey? aka records near penn's landing are only stocking the LP... I'm after the CD? any help would be great....

My record store dude called yesterday and said my special order was in and a had a week to p/u. :)
I got back with it an hour ago 8-)

Hi,
   I just spent the last two hours calling eleven stores in DC / VA area, asking if any of them have copies of the new stuff:

"yea we'll have one copy, open at noon"

"yip hope to have three copies, first come first serve"

Yea should have 15 copies, but there will be a line outside, I believe there is a guy coming from PA to buy a copy"

Other stores

"No we are not selling ANY stuff, goodbye"

Can anyone help me out as what I should do?

Thanks

"Edtombell" - Can we talk offline ?

To all MMJ fans,
                          I called a lot of indie record stores in my area, DC/VA and even CA & had very little luck with getting a hold off a copy of the LP, was told, "we are not stocking any stuff from record store day", or was told "yea have only a few of each, but call back tomorrow" etc etc.

It nearly killed me, but, after searching the world wide web I found it on www.musicdirect.com

Now I know I'm not supporting the local stores, but how can I when they either don't have what I want, or won't get want I want?

I'm sorry but I had to do it.

I fully support the local record stores, every way possible.

I want to thank Jbones72 for all his help.

I hope there aren't problems with folks not being able to get their hands on the stuff they want.  Record Day might then remind people why they buy music online and don't support record shops.  

I'm going to my shop tomorrow morning  - screw the phone calls.  I'm afraid all I would get is a vague or inaccurate information.  I'll report availability for anyone in the Delaware Valley who cares.

I went ahead and bought it from musicdirect.com because I NEED this ep. I am goign to buy it at the local record store too.

I'm in DC and was in Crooked Beats last weekend and Bill, the owner, said that they would be stocking the EP and said he'd have 10-15 copies. It's prob the best place inside the beltway to find new stuff. They always have new releases on time.

open at noon on saturday. i am lining up!!

Wasn't the point to go to the record store to get it. I went a month early asked if they knew about the MMJ release and if so were they stocking it, if not would they order it for me, so they did. At that time I realized I was in a record store so I bought some records. When I went back to said record store 2 weeks later for the PJ box set thing I checked on my MMJ order. Bought more records.  I expected to go on the 18th but they called on the 15th. I went on the 16th and picked it up and more records. Seems like it works just fine to me. Can't wait till tomorrow. ;)

Drive to Louisville tonight.  We have the best record store on earth.  Empire Records ain't got shit on it.

Just called like 6 or 7 stores, found 2 that are gonna have it  8-)

1 that I called though, I ask if theyre getting some record store day albums in, and he replies with, "no, we couldnt get in on that. we dont have tom waits, we have tom jones, we dont have green day, we have doris day, does that answer your question?"

kind of funny, but kind of superdoosher as well. dont think Ill ever shop there.

I got lucky....
I'm not sure if anyone else in my area knows about MMJ or not...although I don't understand why they DON'T!  The store I went to remembered me from my squeals over the Okonokos DVD I got from them way-ago and I was able to sweet talk two copies out of em.  gawd I'm glad I have a decent smile. :)
The manager laughed at me when I called to see if they were in cause I squealed again.   ::) what can I say?  I'm a happy girl!!  
*SMOOCH* <--- that's for the most excellent band that ever popped out in muthafuckin' Louisville Kentucky!

edtombell  discovers that the apes, who can talk, are in control and are divided into a strict class system: the gorillas as police, military, and hunters; the orangutans as administrators, politicians and lawyers; and the chimpanzees as intellectuals and scientists. Humans, who cannot talk, are considered feral vermin and are hunted and used for scientific experimentation.

April 18th, music lovers worldwide will descend on local independent music shops to celebrate the second annual Record Store Dayhttp://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/04/17/record-store-day-a-guide-to-the-best-rock-hitting-1000-shops/

Sonic BOom IN toronto has about 6 copies left on the shelves...went in at 10:05 and I saw at least 4 people holding the ep...

the ep is excellent I may add (so far) ...librarian, Phone, and dondante to go.

enjoy!!

Yv

Okay. Just got back home.

Time for some lunch and:

(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p295/searchinbig/Ciudad.jpg)

                                       :D

Got lucky and picked up C & I on vinyl too. White and Blue vinyl.

Anybody know which pressing this is?

just got home from the record store. no mmj. in fact, they didnt have any of the new releases. so i picked up some oldies including cosmos factory, focus 3, and the soundtrack to death wish 2, featuring the greatest picture of charles bronson ever. they gave me the special record store day record even though i didnt spend $50. ho hum. i special ordered the new ep, i think, we'll see this week.

Just got back, luckily snagged a copy at Red Onion in DC. The line for crooked beats was around the block so I took a chance. They had 2 copies so I grabbed one, pushed my greed aside and let another customer have the other. :) the sound is great. awesome version of dondante. love the picking before patrick's solo. the guy said they didn't press many. this will tide me over for awhile...

I just got back from Rainbow Records in Newark DE, and they had some... I didn't inquire how many though.

I got two free cd's two free LP's --both samplers, a slip pad for my turntable, and all sorts of stickers, iron-ons, posters and cool stuff because I spent more than 50 bucks.  Ironic... one of the posters was Nicole Atkins.  I don't suppose any ladies in the house want it.... hello ....hello?

Anyway it was a great morning.

Happy hunting for yours!

where to begin ... dare i say JJ's best song ever written? i had to re-place my needle about 5 or 6 times before i could move to the next song. amazing. gives me the chills.

I hate you all, just jealous.  I called every store in CT listed on the site as having it, not a one store had it.. I finally called Ear X Stacy and ordered it from them.  Damn Connecticut.  We can't even buy booze after 8PM or Sundays.  Why am i rambling.... just pissed i was so looking forward to today!!!

Ha! I feel the same way right now.  I should have drove the 40 minutes to a better record store but I'm going to gamble on them still having one on Monday.  If not though, then I'll have to order online and wait another few days.

Great sound quality!

Great banter!

Sweet PWW and Dondante. Thought Patrick's drums really stood out on the Gideon. Only complaint is the solo on Evil Urges sounded really muffled. Not sure if that was the guy on the soundboards at the show, Jim flubbing it, or what, but it was hard to decipher.

AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

Went to every record store in the DC/NOVA area in the past 2 days and nobody has anything left! I can't believe it! Although I did finally get my hands a copy of the swirl edition of Chocolate & Ice at store here that's about shut its doors for the last time.

I just wanna hear at this point! Can anybody share? Would be extremely grateful..

Just got mine!!! Drove 84 miles round trip to Salzer's in Ventura Ca. Great drive along the coast, listened to the cd the whole way home (Dondante got me through the bit of traffic) just got home about to listen to it again through some good headphones  ;D  ;D  ;D

I don't know if this warrants a new thread or not, but in the spirit of Record Store day, does anyone have any stories about how "social" their music experience wound up being?

I hit up Pure Pop in Burlington Vermont, discussed with the folks there Dark Was The Night, how things were generally, how record store day was shaping up, what was the new hotness, and I felt at home.

And now, until I have room to unpack my vinyl and turntable, I'll just put the album in a place of prominence.

I had the same issue...I don't live near any of the stores (I'm up in the Hartford area) in CT and when I called them they were either sold out or never got it. BUT I was able to find a copy for sale online and it's being shipped to me...I hope. I can't wait to get it. I don't even own a record player, but I'll play the CD and frame the record.

I got it from this site: http://www.insound.com/My_Morning_Jacket_Celebraci%F3n_De_La_Ciudad_Natal_2x10&quot;+CD/productmain/p/INS53322/

 :-[ >:(

rats!! Grimeys sold out. They said it was a limited run, only 2,500 copies released.

:'( :(

there were 2 vinyl for sale on Amazon... I got one so the other might still be up!

I preordered the EP and picked it up on the 16th they called on 15th said it was in. We didn't listen to it until the 18th on our way to the record store for the Wilco DVD and NY Sugar Mt. cd 8-) When we got home another person from the store had left a message that the mmj EP was in :D. The store (Dimple in Citrus Heights CA) had 4-5 of each format that I saw.I think it was real cool it was released like that, seemed to put an old school spin on going to get music and hanging at the record store :) You used to be able to get anything and everything at the record store  :P Stopping by Tower Records was a friday night sat. night ritual to get the finer things in life when I was a kid, if you know  what mean.
In my last  3 trips to that Dimple I picked up ISM- Acoustica Acoustica Backwards-Okonokos-Z and the new one. All but Okonokos included cds, thoughtful. ;) My turntable is in a closet right now, not to hard to hook up but I just like having the albums, comforting that you can actually see the art and read the text :)
Here's a blast from the past: In 1974 I got a newsletter from the Grateful Dead in it they said that in the future we would all listen to music on shiny silver discs that are read by a beam of light.What a crock of shit :D  It was later I thought man I need to pay more attention and not discount so much. Still working on it. :P

In my last  3 trips to that Dimple I picked up ISM- Acoustica Acoustica Backwards-Okonokos-Z and the new one. All but Okonokos included cds, thoughtful. ;) My turntable is in a closet right now, not to hard to hook up but I just like having the albums, comforting that you can actually see the art and read the text :)
Here's a blast from the past: In 1974 I got a newsletter from the Grateful Dead in it they said that in the future we would all listen to music on shiny silver discs that are read by a beam of light.What a crock of shit :D  It was later I thought man I need to pay more attention and not discount so much. Still working on it. :P

Nice! What a trip I'm saving that link I forgot Jim was still alive and in the interweb 8-)

Yeah, mine didn't have it on vinyl but oh well, another time.  Per usual, love the Where to Begin [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

I wonder what the edition size is?

I read somewhere that the pressing was of 2,500 copies.  I can't remember where I read this.

Thanks a lot, Jamie.

2,500 is a pretty limited edition considering the concert held about 10,000 (ballpark from my memory, I might be way, way off).

You're right.  Actually, by the time it was all said and done, it was closer to 11,000.

Wow, that many women gave birth during that concert?!

No wonder people were saying it was almost like a religious experience

I love the record, the packaging is beautiful





my one teeny complaint is that it would've been nice to do a gatefold for the double ten-inches. The jacket is a bit tight over both of 'em.

Funniest post of the day, sire.

Where to begin is really outstanding, I also enjoy Dondante a lot (who would have thought  ;))

I just got mine in the mail...it only took two days. Evil Urges has just begun...Oh Man! :D

I just uploaded it to my iTunes...and how the fuck does iTunes put it under as "Gospel & Religious" genre. I quickly changed it to "Thrust-in-your-face Rock-n-Roll"

I feel partly responsible for the whole Gospel identification.

It is the Gospel...according to Jim.  ;)

I LOVE the bombs that Two Tone drops in Highly Suspicious!

Turn the bass way up and blast it.

Nice to have quality sound. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

The recording is so pure.  One of the best parts is that it is hard to determine which songs were at which venues if you didn't know better.  One was outside with around 11,000 people and the other was inside with about 500 peopple, but the crowd sounds eerily similar at the end of some of the tracks.

Yeah, when they blend the crowd noise from EarXtacy to the riverfront it sounds awesome.

I had to turn my bass levels down when that song came on  :o ;D

I forget which were where when I first read it, but Id bet that EU and HSuspicious were both def EarXtacy, and the PWW and Dondante both Waterfront.

Id say the WTBegin was waterfront, Librarian EXT, but the Gideon is a toss up. Id guess EXT

From Rolling Stone....

Billboard Chart Debuts: Besides Day26, there was only one other fresh LP in the Top 100, and it belonged to Los Angeles shoegazers Silversun Pickups, who amazingly finished at Number Seven with their excellent second album Swoon. What a difference a week makes: Had Swoon and its 43,000 copies sold debuted last week, it would've finished 12th instead of seventh. Even a Record Store Day exclusive managed to infiltrate the charts: My Morning Jacket's live EP Celebracion De La Cuidad Natal took 158.

hollaaaaaa

mine comes today FINALLY!!! but I can't listen to it until late on monday since I wont be home this weekend  :'(  I can't wait though!

I had been listening to the vinyl and finally got around to importing the CD into itunes.  It recognized the CD but labeled the genre as Gospel & Religious.  Hilarious.

FINALLY!  I just got mine today and am giving it it's first spin right now.  Phone Went West is (as always) incredible!!! :D

So happy to have my grubby little hands on this gem.

I'm glad I popped out right here in motherfuckin' Louisville!  ;D

my god! dondante is worth it alone. how this wasn't a single amazes me . guess too long to be but damn sir damn, that and pww.

I couldn't get my hands on the vinyl, but I did pick up the CD, and my goodness it's amazing.

Phone Went West, Evil Urges and Dondante are freakin incredible!!!

And it also imported into iTunes for me as "Gospel and Religious".... well, live Jacket is pretty much, a religious experience.

My CD didn't import any information at all... Had to put it all in there manually.

QuoteMy CD didn't import any information at all... Had to put it all in there manually.

If you're wondering the genre, it's Gospel & Religious.  No lie.

The version of Dondante on this record is officially my new favorite.  It is just so visceral.  Listening to it through headphones honestly makes me feel like I'm at the concert.  I love it when the crowd starts to cheer just before Carl starts his sax solo.  Gives me chills every time.

I have an extra copy of the New EP on Vinyl....i ordered one from Music Direct and My local record store actually had an extra on hold for me.  

I am just looking to recoup what I spent on the music direct copy,  I will sell for $25 plus shipping....the 10' LP is still in the wrapper and in Perfect condition.

If your interested please email me

thanks so much

by the way- that comes with the cd too
I bought mine off music direct as well and didnt think the cd was with it but its packaged inside the album cover itself.

just got my copy and have listened to evil urges and highly suspicious....jesus h christ jim wails on highly.  i saw them do it live in orlando and have listened to a bunch of the live stuff on archive but this version clearly takes the cake.  so awesome.  i love these guys.

on a side note, it was nice to come home from a corporate tax law final and find this ep in my mailbox.

EDIT:  Dondante just blew my mind.

i heart this ep. it's like having a mini-jacket show in my car, house, etc... and as someone who loves (and needs) as much live jacket as possible, i can say whole-hearted-ly that this is a beautiful thing.

and the version of phone went west is amazing. listened to it, like, 5 times yesterday.

I was just in Ear X-tacy here in the ville and they have at least 50  copies out on the sales floor, who know what they have in the back. I know they do mail orders so if anyone's still looking, they got 'em!
$20 instore price.

Not to derail this topic, but Ear X-tacy is awesome. Shit, that's where part of the EP was recorded.

It was a miracle. I didn't expect to find a copy when I went to The Great Escape yesterday. I got the last cd. They also had three vinyl albums remaining. That's in Madison (North Nashville) Tennessee.

Awesome album!  :)

"Celebration of the City of Christmas" is that what it means??  Or could it be "City of our Birth?"  Any multi lingual jacket heads here?

I think it means "Celebration in the City of Our Birth" but I'm not sure. My Spanish is kinda shaky.

I wasn't even sure it was Spanish, I thought it was Portugese and according to my friend in Portugese it means  Xmas.  

QuoteI wasn't even sure it was Spanish, I thought it was Portugese and according to my friend in Portugese it means  Xmas.  

It being in Portugese would be kind of random wouldn't it?

Celebrating the birthplace is the proper translation

Well perhaps, but maybe Olliges is a Portugese name;-)

olliges is a german name, traced to saxony.   jj claims it as so, too.
bet the spanish is much more special. ;)

Finally, I got my copy! Wow, can't stop listening to it for the past few days.  Where To Begin....heaven sent.....And of course Dondante and Phone Went West give chills....

What about a Laser Light Show ? I know, I am old, but that version of Dondante feels psychedelic to me....

WOW WOW WOW is right....

:D :D :D :D

I haven't been to a laser light show in ages, but that'd be awesome.

Matter of fact, it was the early '90's at Stone Mountain in Georgia.

If anyone in or near Philly is looking for this EP check out "Long in the Tooth Records".  They're at 2027 Sansom St. I was there this weekend and found a brand new copy. The guy working there said he's got a bunch more, as the label sent him about 10 times as many as he ordered for Record Store Day.

I bought At Dawn on Vinyl there a couple weeks ago.  :)
