Fan Club 7" (Year 2)

How's the new song?

looks a bit shabby tobe honest.

I'm a bad reviewer but:

The waits cover is about 2:13 long. I compared it to the original, quickly, but not in depth. So it has horns. Some drums. And Brian mimics that hard voice in some areas. I guess similar to that THC Mary ann hardness. But he's also melodic(?) light(?) too. it's a mixture of hard and soft

The twopointeight is about 3:56 long. Full band song. More "mellower" I'd say. Like they don't go hard like, lets say, great expectations. More like a ladykiller soft sort of groove. Idk I really relate this one to ladykiller for some reason. It's interesting.

I'm going to let these sit before I pass judgement. But twopointeights is a nice little tune...

I thought there were supposed to be an original song?

oh my bad lol. Still, new Gaslight stuff.
and "I thought there were supposed to be an original song"? really? wow. I should have proof read that.

The t-shirt looks much nicer than last year, at least.

Dig the green vinyl.

So, are these full band or solo acoustic?

I got mine today and I can now say that they are not solo acoustic.  This chimes with Benny's tweet of long ago, which 'Debonair' reminded me of, that they were working on songs for the fan club.

'Debonair' has already described the songs quite well.  I actually enjoyed them, not least hearing some new instruments like horns and keyboards/synth.

It is odd that there was no download card, and that the download has not been released to club members yet, but maybe they are trying to prevent rips appearing online right away.

Wow uk got theirs fast?! I'm wondering if they preshipped the oversea ones so there wasn't an unfair US has them weeks before.

I have a feeling I may have had a certain advantage here ...   

We'll see how long it takes overall, both within the US and to the UK and elsewhere.

No download card? Gah, well I hope they don't make us wait too long before they send out the email then because my record player still isn't working.

Got mine today. T-shirt is pretty nice. My record player is also on the fritz, so can't play the 7" yet but hope to this weekend.

Holy hell . . . Brian's voice on Anywhere I Lay My Head. I am completely floored. Bravo.

Man, you guys are getting me all excited. I want my copy so bad! Shrewsbury...does it have horns like I keep hearing it does?

It does. These are also proper studio recordings with great production.

Which is why it's a shame there is so little info about it. Where was it recorded? By whom? Who played what? What were they wearing?

"What were they wearing?"   

I didn't rejoin the fan club this year just because of how fed up I was with it but now I'm dying to hear Anywhere I Lay My Head (im a big waits fan)....Is anyone part of the "digital" side of the club? If i sign up again it will be the digital once because I have no means to play a record. Was wondering if downloads went out to people in the digital club

They go out to both the digital and vinyl members on March 26th.

Crossing my fingers that my fan club vinyl will come in the mail today. I'm worried I am going to have to wait a couple months.

Got a little antsy so I sent a friendly email over to the fan club tonight to see how delivery is going. This was the response word for word.

"Hey Rob-

They have been shipping. There are thousands to go out, so we’re working our way through them.
Also, we’ll be sending out the the .mp3 download link on Wednesday.

Thanks,"

I wonder if there's any method to their shipping process. I hear they're already popping up in Europe yet I live a state away and signed up on day 1 and still no sign of it.  

Up In the club store. Plus year 1s vinyl. New Pressings are out of 400 for each press. (Coke is on bottom left others are new) The coke and and year 1 are left overs.

Thank you for posting that the store is open finally!
