Right, I agree that it's a good idea. I'm just a little bothered by the fact it took outsiders to call them on "sub-optimal/needs improvement" quality of the original material.  It shows a lack of .... something. 

To those from the Islands at the Ends of the Earth, I wonder how hard it would be for them to do at least an "unplugged"/acoustic set to "chum the waters" down there in anticipation of the new release. Y'all are long overdue, methinks.

but, the whole shambles of announcing a tour, selling tickets for a month or three and then postponing, well, thats a bit of a fuck up.

also, going on what BPF was said, it sounds like he is in good spirits! hopefully there remains no internal drama in the band, that would suck bigtime - i am still hoping for a NZ show in 2012!!
(part of my resentment with KJ comes from knowing jaz is often here but refuses to play... most annoying! )


 


"due to a lack of trained trumpeters, the end of the world has been postponed indefinitely..."
