Signed up for their Patreon recently to check out the Making of Fuck Art doc (well worth it) and they have all their Dancing to Thrash live streams posted from last fall. Have enjoyed ripping through those, really enjoy watching them play. They've also got a Live at the Opera House doc on there from their 2018 Master Volume headlining tour. If you're a fan, I'd definitely check their Patreon out!

 

Has anyone mentioned yet that Best of Me JUST went Gold a few days ago. So crazy! So cool for them to have a certified single all these years after releasing a proper album.

 

Ngl: I want a gold “Best of Me” record.

 

Probably the only gold record I'd actually care to display if I was able to acquire one

 

I was just thinking, would releasing these performances on vinyl (and eventually spotify/apple music) be their attempt to take control of their masters? Assuming Geffen/Virgin still owns the masters to those recordings, these re recordings will now allow them to cash in on sales/streams of their back catalog? Sorry, just a random thought that popped in my head while procrastinating at work lol

All I know is I'll be very excited when this recording of Classic Jazz is available on Spotify. Also hoping Jimmy Eat World does the same with their recent performances (haven't watched but hearing really great things).

 

I don't think it'll change much, people aren't going to stop listening to the original albums when these re-recordings come out.

 

Heads up that the streams are all being taken down after tomorrow so get it in while ya can

 

Weird that they left the Title Fight cover on but took off Surprise Surprise and Island

 

prob because both of those will be on the other releases

 

They covered Title Fight? That rocks

 

Why does Greg's Last Day still slap so hard goddamn

 

Real hard

 

21 tracks is a lot for vinyl, even for a double LP. So makes sense to remove the two that are already on the other records. But yeah wish the Title Fight thing wasn’t on there haha

 

In the BOATS stream, Kenny referenced that time the Top 13 finalists of American Idol Season 10 covered "The World" for a Ford-branded music video. Here's that mess.

Edit: The aired version of this segment is shorter, but in higher quality. I've posted it here for posterity.

 

i assume someone smarter than me has ripped these? you know, for historical purposes and such?

 

welp.. can't unhear this now lol

 

thanks, i hate it

 

Can confirm.

 

Yeah makes sense. Also has me thinking that these will definitely be added to streaming services around the vinyl's release. Wouldn't make sense to upload on Spotify 2 different live versions of both those songs if they're from the same sessions and sound identical.

 

While I'm thinking about it, here's a collection of posters I made for the series. You know, for archival purposes and such.
or if you have the corresponding videos in your Plex server or something

 

I need access to this museum.

 

the art is honestly so damn pretty, I love love love loooovvvve it

 

They really nailed it. All of the artwork for the series, vinyl, and merch was done by Mikaela Jane Palermo.

 

this is fantasic, I've seen so much of her work before and didn't even know it

 

Yea I ripped the BOATS stream but not the others. BOATS ended up being like 8GB and that was definitely way too big of a file to try and do the others
