    Headstones are inviting the fans to take part in the new album. This was in my inbox this morning. How f'n cool is this:

    SWEET.

    some of the items on www.pledgemusic.com for their new album are amazing. $5000 gets you and up to 20 people an intimate unplugged show and they leave behind a signed acoustic guitar.

    Anyone have $5 grand??

    are there 19 other people out there that want to cough up $250 and do this???

    A private acoustic show would be unreal. And for only $500 you can hang out with the band in the studio for a day. How awesome would that be? I love this band!

    the whole idea of pledgemusic is really bringing out the best in artists, and it's a really cool way to connect with your fans, giving them chances to have really cool experiences or even some cool stuff.

    I dig it.

    I think you're right. I've never seen that video. Remember the early 90s when Muchmusic actually played music? I miss those days.

    this is one of the coolest rock memorabilia items I have ever seen. Headstones marionettes from the Smile & Wive video. One of a kind, and someone snatched them up for $2500!

    they've changed the release date. the record company heard the album and wants to release it WORLDWIDE. Way to go HEADSTONES! So the release date is pushed back a few weeks.

    I'm streaming it right now (pledgers only) and it's INCREDIBLE.

    Agreed! It's absolutely brilliant from start to finish. After only a few listens this is already my favorite album of 2013, and hands down one of the best things they've ever recorded. Bring on the tour!

    I went back to the site last night to stream it again, and when I pressed "play", it asked me if I wanted to save the file! I downloaded the entire album and put it on disc! I can't wait to get my copy in the mail, but this was a nice surprise until then!

    Love & Fury is still my front runner for album of the year. An epic slice of badass rock n' roll if there ever was one.
