So is that why Ian was playing guitar in all of those shows?

I'm not sure if that would be why, exactly, I just always thought he did it because of some combination of wanting to and so Brian can roam around stage unencumbered for some songs. And, uh, hit himself in the face with microphones. Brian's been very charming without a guitar the times I've seen them

i cant imagine him without a guitar..

I think he has a hard time imagining it, too. ha. It's really fun to see him bounce around on stage though.

i'm glad they are going to sing sweet songs to us again. gaslight.

great!

....suspicion confirmed. I rest my case.

If there's just a DASH of sound similar to the Afghan Whigs, this will be heaven. I consider Greg Dulli, and the Afghan WHigs, perhaps one of the most underrated bands of the last 20 years, easy. Of course, he'll be releasing a new one with Twilight Singers in a few weeks, but this is great.

I think we’re leaning on making a record that’s just full of excitement and that romantic feeling we avoided on our last record.

THIS was the sentence that made me dance on the table. The EP and the '59 Sound with this sad, melancholic mood were the reasons I fell in love with this band. So awesome to read that they'll continue it on the new album.

Also stoked for the Horrible Crowes and the album. I totally need music to listen to in the night.
And yes Ian's hat is supercool. I think I need a new flat cap right now. :]

good stuff; and I only just found the lyrics teaser on Twitter from 26 Jan:

My love, my love, you're the sting of the scorpion. Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you.

Totally just made my day, as these things often do.

I am ECSTATIC over the mention of Record Store Day material. Absolutely thrilled. I'm already anxious about making sure I get whatever it is and "oh god what if the store I go to doesn't have it and it's gone from other places by the time I get there"... how my mind works, my friends! These guys bring me much joy.

new material would be awesome but how the hell am I gonna get it here?
on the other hand, excited doesn't quite cover my reaction at european dates, yeeee!

online stores (if you're willing to pay twice the normal price for the shipping costs...)

"and then some stuff for Itunes, and Record Store Day, etc."

Itunes? uck!

Record Store Day? fine!

Can't wait for this new album. They will give us more awesome stuff, sure of that.

As I have always said, I will never buy something from itunes unless it's an exclusive that's not available anywhere else. I just can't wrap my head around having nothing but digital copies of something. I think, though, if Brian/TGA puts anything up on itunes before a physical release is available, I might cave in and do both. It'd get me some songs early and get them a little extra profit.

I am still on edge with worry and excitement about the potential RSD release! Very, very happy about that.

I am doing the Revival Tour in Europe this September

Oh Hell yes. I think it's the first 'official' confirmation that Brian is in, isn't it? Until now, it was mostly 'I hope to do the Revival Tour in Europe' or similar statements. Chuck & Brian, seriously, how much better can it get?

On the topic - I don't even have itunes on my computer!

I know, damn being in europe sometimes sucks

and don't get itunes, it's a complete nightmare of a program!!!

what's wrong with itunes? you get free stuff, apps and you can preview songs before buying them (how many times have i bought an album that, by its artwork, looks cool just to find out later that it's total crap? more than i can count)

It's not itunes that I have a problem with. I use it all the time. I just can't get behind purchasing music in download format only. I want an actual copy.

I have a mac and an iphone, so I use itunes otherwise.

I got it recenty when I bought an iPod and it crashes constantly, had to install it on my parents'computer
plus I agree, unless it's something made specifically for iTunes I would never pay for an mp3, but I'm happy to waste all my money on cds

well then the problem is with your computer and not with itunes
and yeah i never buy mp3s either. i usually download 'free' (ehem.. ) music, and if i like it then i go buy the album on vinyl or CD.
