    hey again! i got the album last night, and i see what you mean about the lyrics.... as i was opening the case, i thought to myself "well, the insert looks big enough - how could there be no lyrics??"... but alas, you are right....

    i do, however, ADORE the piece of art on the poster..... i stared at it for several minutes, trying to figure out which way was up - and then decided that it didn't have an "Up".... are they mountains? ocean waves? a bird? I think i see a little village too.... in every direction there is a new image... genius. i love it. apparently, Melissa Kearney is the name of the artist....

    You're right, the artwork is beautiful. I just wish they'd include the lyrics once in a while. I suppose I can just "google" them if need be.

    that must have been awesome! :)

    I got into them after seeing them open for The Hip.... I think they're the only opening band that has ever stuck with me.... usually i don't pay much attention to opening bands.... :o:p

    Here's hoping they come to Europe soon. :D

    I love the new cd but haven't fully absorbed it yet. I'd like to find the lyrics online somewhere but have had no luck so far :(

    I did find this link...which appears to be the other 2 cds

    http://www.lyricsdir.com/wintersleep-lyrics.html

    Free show at the Horseshoe Tavern Tues Oct 16th, in Toronto! I think the paper said a 10:10pm start time.

    I thought it was damn cool PJ decided to find a local band to open those 2 shows.

    A great time was had on the rock :)

    are you in Toronto? are you going? I'll be there for sure with a couple of girlfriends... i'm so excited!! :D


    i'm loving the new album too... especially Drunk on Aluminum, Dead Letter, and Miasmal Smoke & The Yellow Bellied Freaks.... i really like that last tune - a stronger finish than their other two albums i think (ok, People Talk is nice... but i can do without Motion)

    Damn, I just found out that the venue they're playing in Calgary, The Warehouse, is a strictly members-only club. So in order to get into the Wintersleep show I'm gonna have to pay an extra $10 (on top of the tix I already paid for) for a freakin' membership to a club that I'm only gonna visit once. From what I've been told, they're very strict about this policy and they'll turn you away at the door if you don't buy one before you walk in...even if you have tickets to the show. Of course there was no mention of this on the Wintersleep website, and no mention of it when I purchased the tix at Ticketbastard last week. That pisses me off.

    *end of rant*

    Excellent. I also keep singing "go back to sleep, you yellow-bellied freaks" at random intervals.

    This album keeps getting better the more I listen to it. It's safe to say that it will most likely end up at the top of my list for albums of the year. It's just an amazing piece of work by one of the best rock bands in the world. Only 21 more sleeps until the Calgary show!

    was at the free show at the Horseshoe last night... and it was great fun, as expected!

    the new songs sound great live.... :D
    they played:

    Drunk on Aluminum
    Archeologist
    Dead Letter
    Oblivion
    Weighty Ghost
    Muderer
    Laser Beams
    Jaws of Life
    Yellow Bellied Freaks

    I can't wait until Friday to see them play a full set, and to have a better place to stand... I couldn't see Loel at all from where I was!!
