cherries in the snow really cool song

Yes, and so is "What You Can't Control" -- a beautiful song which frequently makes me tear up because there's lots I can't control.

I agree love that song cant wait to hear it live!

Really excited for the tour I KNOW is happening and WILL be attending!

Was hoping the pre order of their new album was yesterday. Looks like February 10th .. which means the CD & vinyl won't arrive up here in Canada before their March 13th Toronto show. Same thing happened on their last record of Acts. I received that CD after their Montreal & Toronto '12 shows, what I can remember.

Yeah release of Acts was very close to the tour, I think I only had the album for maybe a week? before the DC show. Seems to be the same case with this album.

Indeed. I don't like this tactic. The release date for Ghost Riding is the same date as their first show of the "tour". I don't really get that - I suppose it's just all about their schedules combined with the wait time for getting an album pressed? Whatever it is, it kind of sucks to not be able to absorb the album a little before a tour starts.

I used to think the same until the Lightning Bolt tour. Which, even then, I think you could stream the album before the tour began (but I refused to). I went into Pitt '13 without knowing a single note, chord, or lyric from LB and it was a pretty awesome experience to blindly get some new tunes! Got the CD in the mail 2 days later.

I prefer to know all the lyrics before seeing a show. Without knowing the lyrics (which you often either can't understand or just can't apply much meaning to when you hear them for the first time live because you aren't able to take the time to consider their meanings, etc), a lot of the song is lost for me.

I know what ya mean there. Which is one of the reasons I usually don't like opening bands.

A good example for me was hearing Lightning Bolt at Wrigley, which was the first time it was ever heard by the public. At the time, it seemed like the lyrics were about some woman, and there was no opportunity at all to think about those lyrics and realize that they weren't about a woman at all... and that made a HUGE difference in how I perceived that song (i.e., I thought it was trite at the time, without understanding what it was about, and I would have very much preferred to have had time to absorb that song's lyrics before seeing it live, because that would have greatly increased my enjoyment of it).

How is their live show? I listened to 'Acts' the other day and there are quite a few ballads. Does their live show rock or is it tame?

live show rocks...Richard is so fun to watch behind the kit. When I saw them, he actually broke a stick, and just kept going. I felt more like I was watching a group of friends playing at a jam session than play a show.

It's been 3.5 years since I saw it, but if memory serves it wasn't tame as in just standing there like trees, and it wasn't hard core or anything. It was just normal, lol. They were into it I guess, but it's a relatively chill band. It's not like they're head banging all over the stage or anything, haha. Stuverud is kind of a monster on the drums, and really fun to watch. Very energetic. But why am I telling you? Just watch them on youtube!

IMHO, it is sometimes nice to hear a song for the first time in a live setting.

Way back in the 90s, REM played a bunch of new songs on their "Monster" tour that were later released on "New Adventures in Hi Fi" ........I appreciate the fact that my first memories of the songs were forged while seeing the band perform them live.

Love that sticker. Not sure if they are still up but the day after their show in Toronto '12, I put up a few of those stickers in Greek Town, Toronto.

Used to live there, however, that was well before RNDM came into existence!

Does RNDM sell merch at their shows?
