    That's a good question, PBM...

    from the Yahoo list:

    Brighter Than Creation's Dark EP will be available at iTunes and all other DSPs (Rhapsody, Yahoo Music, MSN/Zune) on Tuesday 12/18. Tracks are: Two Daughters And A Beautiful Wife, 3 Dimes Down , The Righteous Path, and The Purgatory Line.
    If you buy any track from the EP at iTunes, it will be credited to the purchase of the full album (this is called the Complete My Album program).


    As much as I really want to hear the full version of these songs (like, yesterday :p) - I really want to buy the record on vinyl when it comes out.

    As good as 18 Wheels of Love is...nothing beats a full-fledged live version with the intro from Patterson.

    And the intro's different every time, as far as I can tell... ;)

    It's leaked.

    I just got the notification on the torrent site I have been using (libble.com) Not high quality (128 AAC), but its out there now.

    Also can't download cause I am work. Plus I am spending the weekend at the girlfriend's... I think her computer may be getting a bittorrent client tonight...

    Edit: Also, shitload of new tour dates on the website.

    Nice! I'll definitely hit up Urbana & Milwaukee...the others are still up for debate.

    Patterson's top 10 records, movies, etc. of 2007

    So interesting to see the range of music he's been into this year - everything from Iron & Wine and Porter Wagoner to Radiohead and Wilco. It's definitely reflected in the new disc, I think.

    The Iron & Wine disc is right up there at the top of the year for me too. I was really glad to see Patterson call it out. Wasn't fond of it the first time through, but as Patterson points out, it grows on my everytime I listen to it.

    I was checking out his tourdates (Iron & Wine) and he may be putting the DBT to the test for touring, he's got a European tour that goes from Jan 14th - Jan 30th without a night off.

    On first listen this is without a doubt much better than the last record, and I liked the last record.

    Could be even better than that, but I need to live with it for awhile.

    This is their White Album or their No Code. Lots of sounds, lots of stuff going on, doesn't seem like it would be cohesive but it is. Not a throwaway song at all.

    You can really hear the influence of the Dirt Underneath, which really makes me curious about how this is going to sound live, since they have made it pretty clear that the acoustic thing is done.

    Oh, I know - The Shepherd's Dog was one of my favorites this year, too. I was a bit disappointed in it live, though - I saw them at Pitchfork and at a midsize club here, and both times it was too noisy to really appreciate the nuances in the new songs. I wish Sam Beam & Co. would play a seated theater show here sometime...

    sadprofessor, I'm super jealous of you and your torrent :D But I'm going to wait patiently for January 22nd...

    I caught them a few weeks ago, and it was seated. I'd say most people would have rather it was standing room only, given the mostly band-centric approach to the songs. However, you were really able to enjoy it this way given Sams singing style. I would have loved a few more acoustic songs from just Sam. He closed out with a great version of Jezebel.

    I've been there twice ('86 and '88). Rumor has it that Dolly sometimes dons a wig and mingles among the guests.

    Enjoying the EP.

    It's a good day to be a Truckers fan.

    Never did the Dollywood thing.....that side of the National Park is a little too built-up and crowded for my tastes. If we go to the mountains, it's for the national park, not the "attractions." Once I had to do Dolly's "Dixie Stampede" dinner theater...what a rip-off.

    Downloading the ep as I type. :D

    Oddly enough, my first Pearl Jam show was in Knoxville. We got there the night before, so we decided to drive into Pigeon Forge before the show.

    This was Labor Day weekend. It took us 1 hour to drive 3 miles.
