    I just ordered the vinyl. Not what I expected to be issued, but it will be poignant. 
    Are you also waiting on the Road Apples/early days b-sides album?

    Heck yes. Can’t wait to see what’s on it. Would be cool if they released an old live show as well - one can hope!!!

    Ooops, quick exit, this is a screenshot so clicking the link won’t work.

    I didn’t look it up since I knew I couldn’t afford it, but out of curiosity how much is it selling for?

    hard pass. 

    as soon as jake gold came back to the fold as management, the gouging has increased like crazy. i hope we just get more music soon. enough of the ramped up merch stuff.

    I’d just be praying for a signed 2016 poster, all to be let down on Christmas morning 
    so I’ll have to pass too

    must be sold out. can't find it. will be interesting to see what people got. i already have something signed from the hip (hipeponymous box set pre-order on maplemusic.com came with a signed placard inserted), so i couldn't figure out what else might be worth that much beyond something authographed.

    Did anyone on here buy the gift crate? It would be cool to see what they get. Too pricey for me though.

    I did.  I’ll let you all know what I got once here. I was hesitant as I own a lot of HIP stuff so I’m sure I will get a few things I already own but it’s a chance you take. I love this band every bit as much as PJ so had to do it. Hell the crate it comes in is valued at $100 if you go by PJ pricing for their crate they sold a few years back 😀

    I wanted to get into this band due to their lofty reputation, but I recently caught a brief clip of a live show, like 10 seconds, and it was a total turn-off.
    Does the singer always sound like the guy from the B-52's or was that just an artefact of that particular song or show?
    It was VERY nasally and over-enunciated, is that just his style?

    I have no reliable internet connection so I have to be very judicious with my streaming time, that's why I asked rather than just pulling up YouTube and checking for myself.

    hard to say without knowing what 10 second clip you are referring to, but my guess is you've already made up your mind.

    If it all sounds like that, then yeah, I'm not going to be able to get past that voice, but I honestly wonder if that wasn't a good representation...there are so many people that love them so much, I find it hard to believe if that's just their sound. Maybe I'll get around to another listen sometime.

    he doesn't have a nasally sounding voice at all normally.
