    I was JUST about to start a thread on this (but had spent the past five minutes searching to make sure no other topic had be started on it, lest i anger the "it's already been posted" gods).

    This is a curious turn of events ...

    Hmmm...interesting. I just hope that with this record there are more non-album b-sides with the singles. Of course with a pre-release 45 two album tracks in understandable.

    Huh. I guess they are just making it up as they go along after all.

    what if i wanted "got some" with the $ i spent? supersonic better be a damn good song for them to make that switch... if they were gonna do this i wish they wouldve given us an actual B-side instead of just a different song off the album

    Agreed. I wouldn't be too surprised if this album has only 1 or 2 b-sides. It all came together really quickly.

    I dunno about that. It's been over 3 years since s/t, which had a boatload of b-sides that never saw the light of day. We should be due another double b-side album by now.

    I wonder why they changed this? Did they really just change their mind or could there have been a mix up in the printing/pressing process and they decided to just go with it. Anyone have an idea how far ahead singles are typically pressed before the release date?

    Kind of weird, it's been three and a half years of waiting, now it all feels rushed. If I didn't love this band... :lol:

    If I had to guess, I would say that they realized that Got Some was too good to be a b-side. I thought it was a potential single when I heard it on Conan. Mayne they've realized that too.

    Either way, we'll get another new song before Sept 20, which is a good thing :)

    true... for all we know this new album could be 25% avacado b sides and doesnt have any b sides of its own... or maybe theyre just saving all those b sides for a lost dogs 2... imagine how great the first lost dogs wouldve been had we never heard those songs until they released it... easily their best album ever!

    I hope you're right about Got Some - that means hopefully another opportunity to get a real b-side!

    Agreed! I'm hoping for several Backspacer b-sides...but my hopes are not too high :roll:

    First, they aren't really b-sides unless they've been released on a single.
    Second, how do we know about these other tracks? I mean, sure, most bands discard some songs along the way when they're doing an album, but are you saying there are completed songs we never heard? Because they sure didn't play any of these so-called b-sides on tour, or did I miss something?

    First, semantics.
    Second I recall there being a Danny Clinch interview where these songs were brought up. He said something to the effect of there being a reason they've been held back thus far but that he couldn't say any more than that.

    Cool. I only pointed out the semantics because unless there's a finished song, full production and mixing and everything, there wouldn't be a good chance of us hearing it. With the exception of the Momma-Son tape, PJ's never released demos, even on Lost Dogs, and I wanted to know if there was evidence of actual finished songs. And it seems there is. So my apologies for being a dick.

    i know theres not gonna be any serious problems cause the only people that have preordered the 7" single are hardcore folks like myself and were eager to hear whatever new material we can... but is this even legal?? wouldnt you atleast have to post some sort of explanation for the change? the $ has already been taken off cards so these are essentially bought and paid for... the product shouldnt still be subject to change - unless of course there was something indicating that possibility before that i missed

    Heavy rotation aside, I'm likely gonna hear "The Fixer" a million times from now until....well...."The End".

    Personally I'm just buying the single for the white vinyl :)

    Guess it's cool that "Supersonic" is on there -I haven't heard that one yet-

    According to that German magazine it sounds like a wild little tune.

    Hi K-

    It is a long story, but here goes...Ed and I were playing some records at my place, listening to some Guided By Voices, arguing about which Robert Pollard nugget was better Bee Thousand or Do the Collapse, after a few bottles of Bordeaux specifically Chateau Mouton Rothchild, Eddie is like "You are right Bee Thousand is better do you want to spin the Fixer single? ", and I am like "sure", then I suggest making Supersonic the B Side, because after all we heard Got Some on Letterman, and Eddie says "your right again chad" he calls Brendan and the rest is history...
