So new Van Morrison but the cool signed vinyl is territory restricted in US. Will not let me order signed bundles. 😠


JPC has an exclusive with a signed insert that comes to about $39 shipped to the US.

Man, I thought the title track video he released today was a promotional joke kind of thing but then seen it was the first song on the actual album.. I love Van Morrison but this project is looking to be extreme cringe after checking out the rest of the track list 😬.

I love Van, but I doubt I’ll be getting this after his two lockdown “protest” songs.

EDIT: yeah I just saw the post above with the song titles. Hard pass.

Does it come with a patch of his lawn for me to stand on?
 
Yes, Van Morrison has a reputation for being difficult. His anti-lockdown bs is just the latest.
Van's 1968-1974 output are some of my favorite albums. Astral Weeks and Moondance are all time favs for me. I don't think Van's recent anti-lockdown stuff is completely cancellable but it's soured him a lot in my eyes. I won't be buying anything he does and I probably won't see him live if I have the chance to. Prior to 2020 I may have, although he'd easily charge $100+ ticket which probably isn't worth it.
 
Not sure if this has been posted, but seems like Craft is reissuing The Violent Femmes - Add It Up on vinyl in May.
Rad, I am not usually one for Greatest Hits but this greatest hits album was my introduction to The Femms back in Middle School. I love the Tracks “American Music”, “Waitng For The Bus”, “Fall Out The Window”, “Dance Mother Fucker Dance”, but I doubt I would ever purchase any of their LPs outside of their first two. So this would be something I would be really interested in.

It’s a great mix of songs! I would highly encourage people to spend more time with Why do Birds Sing? My favorite femmes album goes back and forth between it and s/t pretty often.

The first six tracks are the best run of songs in their discography and even the later tracks are such earworms. Just listened to Lack of Knowledge this morning and I already know “read read read read read read everything you can read” will be in my head all day.

If I remember will try to tag you when I see more info about it! I'm glad Craft is doing it--they do some pretty solid reissues and usually prices aren't too bad and they are available in lots of different places.

Oh man, MMB were one of my favorites. Saw them a few years back and they were still pretty killer, but do I need a new album from them?
