"Postdoc Blues"

From the AV Club article:

 

15 songs my goodness

 

oh shit

 

Exciting news! Also very unexpected.

 

I really hope this means he'll do some US touring soon.

 

old setlists have a bunch of weakerthans stuff so i'd probably choose to go to a tour no mater what

 

Had to like every post in this thread because I'm so excited! This year has been so awesome for music

 

fuck yeah

 

Love me the Weakerthans but couldn't get into John's first solo album at all. Hoping this catches my ear because he's such a fantastic songwriter

15. Virtute at Rest <<<<<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've never anticipated a song more based on the title alone than "Virtute At Rest."

 

Excited doesn't even begin... I'm almost nervous for it.

 

Oh no, I'm going to cry a lot

 

My cat of 16 years is probably going to die shortly after this comes out. Depending on what that song is it might be very cathartic or it might break me.

 

Here's John playing the (beautiful) title track during what appears to be some sort of hippie camp counselor gathering.

 

Multiple WOOTS!!

 

Very, very, very excited for this!

 

Oh my god yes. Finally.

 

Exclusive: The Weakerthans’ John K. Samson announces new solo album, Winter Wheat

New song, oh my...

 

oh fuck

another Virtute track........

 

this album is so fucking good - perfect for the fall weather that's upcoming

 

Looks like he's touring as John Samson and the Winter Wheat. What do you guys think their setlists will look like as far as Weakerthans vs. his solo stuff?

 

Did it leak? Or were you able to listen as a moderator?
I'm dying to listen to this.

 

Omg that song is so good I can't wait for this

 

So Google has the track times and Virtue clocks in at 1:36. It's so short!
