yeah I got my boxset today - very happy

 

It’s definitely more user friendly as far as playing the vinyl than the untitled deluxe

 

Yeah I kind of hate the untitled deluxe. Like I appreciate the effort that went into it, but it’s my least favorite of all their deluxe albums.

 

Brother, Sister tour postponed until later this year. Farewell tour will be in 2021.

New or rearranged dates on their website.

No word on whether the UK/EU summer tour will happen in the future.

 

Love these guys.

Edit: Also, what's the jingle on their Instagram story?

 

They did the right thing. Honestly can't see concerts/events happening safely til 2021 right now. Epic bummer but it's what should be done.

 

It's from "Chernobyl, 1985" off their b-sides album for Pale Horses.

 

that B,S show being in July in Michigan seems wildly optimistic

 

I’m just praying these B,S shows don’t turn out to be BS shows again amirite???

 

I get the temptation to plan for a best case scenario, but yeah, July feels aggressively optimistic, lol.

I'm sympathetic, as someone who's the head of a small summer church camp who had to have a hard conversation w/ the rest of our leadership about how we're gonna handle this summer. It's not easy coming to grips w/ the scale of this thing. But, yeah, I really hope the mewithoutYou crew, & their fanbase, are ready for nothing in 2020, which is very possible.

 

I had to break the news to my students last week about our big camp week being canceled in June. It was not fun.

Definitely don't expect these shows to happen, which bums me out for these guys.

 

‘Chapelcross Towns’ is their best song.

 

That or ‘Magic Lantern Days’

 

Or ‘Dorothy’

 

Or literally every other song they have.

 

I wonder if Belle and Sebastian know about ‘New Wine, New Skins’

 

they're too busy sleeping the clock around

 

haha i guess im in the minority that does not like magic lantern days at all :(

 

Magic lantern days is great. I dont like the pale horse appendix tho

 

Y’all are breaking my heart

 

I must say that Magic Latern Days is the only song I dare to skip when listening to Pale Horses. It's not a bad song, but also not as strong as the rest of the album.

 

Brave of you to post this

 

Wtf is happening

 

Imo MLD is the thesis statement of the album. Ie nostalgia, moving on, etc

 

Magic Lantern Days feels like the emotional high point on Pale Horses. It’s the only remotely light moment on the record in addition to what Cameron said above. It took me a while to come around on it but it’s become one of the most essential songs on the record to me.
