Oh yeah. There are so many cover art options for the clay man/zombie/crash test dummy guy. Foil? Hologram? Embossed? Give him blue eyes?
Imagine this but with Scott Stapp on the inside instead:

I’m so happy we don’t have to tip at restaurants in Australia and that there is no tipping culture here at all.

I don’t think I’d be able to live in the U.S. unless I had a high paying job because I love food and eating out so much. Food is life and I occasionally have thought to myself “So glad we don’t have to tip like they do in America/Canada”.

Collecting and buying vinyl is a much, much better hobby to have.....in the U.S. compared to Australia though! Shipping is just so expensive + so much limited releases only are sold within the U.S.

Isn't UFO rumored to be the VMP ROTM for Essentials this month?

The Mountain Goats’ Welcome to Passaic is a limited-edition 7-inch containing In League with Dragons album track “Passaic 1975” b/w the previously unreleased “Get High and Listen to the Cure.” Pressed on black vinyl with large center hole. Does not include download card.


John Darnielle on these songs:

As is generally known, whenever I get some time to myself I tend to start thinking about Ozzy Osbourne. A few years ago I wrote about 3/4 of an album’s worth of songs about Black Sabbath and/or Ozzy’s solo career, some of which were on the Marsh Witch Visions EP. When I sent Owen Pallett a link to the songs I was working on for In League with Dragons, he noticed a bunch of other songs in the folder—stuff I’d meant to say “these were for something else” about, but didn’t. Those songs were probably going to hang out in that folder for a good long while or maybe never see daylight at all. I am a shark, I seek the blood-cloud a little further ahead.

But Owen announced, in our second conversation about
Dragons, that “Passaic” was the single. I was pretty surprised by this—to me it felt like a 2/3 Robert Forster + 1/3 Syd Barrett’s Opel sessions cocktail, music dear to my heart but not renowned for its chartbusting ways. Owen, however, heard the song more in the vein of “Talk About the Passion”-era R.E.M., stuff I only know in passing. Still, I was committed to having him call the shots on the arrangements, and curious about what he meant.

Speaking of singles, Peter Hughes, on hearing “Get High and Listen to the Cure”—written for
Goths, attempted in the studio sessions in versions that lacked the snap of this demo—felt certain this was the song that would make us a household name. I’m fond of the song, though I don’t share his conviction that it’s the Mountain Goats song the whole world has been waiting to hear. Should this release prove Peter right, I will be quite content to concede the point.
When I get high I listen to The Cure, so...free shipping in the US made this an easy decision.
