Yeah, The summer vibes emanating off that record are gonna give me a nice tan. I feel like it’s gonna spend a lot of time of the turntable over the next few months.
I probably woulda gone with The Pink Floyd thread (do we have a Pink Floyd thread? It seems like probably do, right?), perhaps The Cafe? Maybe you profile posts?
The hiatus is a bit more honest maybe but I guess a band wouldn’t have to announce such things they could just stop making music and touring but it does give fans the opportunity to see knowing it could like be some time before they get the opportunity again.
I picked up the reissue, haven’t had a. Hancecto spin it yet but I don’t have anything to compare it to really either. I am waiting for @POGunter take, as I think he owns like 4 different pressings of this record.
Nice, I still have my Louisville slugger. It’s heavy as fuck so I have to choke up a decent amount to generate solid bat speed but it got the job done.
