Someone best be ripping that vinyl and releasing into the ether.

Danny Boy · 10-23-2012, 08:14 PM

Just stopped by my local indie shop. No dice.

I found a copy of this for sale online and I just received a shipment notification, so it seems they actually have it in stock. Should have it in a week.

Forced Exposure

I got the Peter Buck solo album on vinyl earlier this week. I've listened to it 4 or 5 times now. It's actually quite good. He admittedly doesn't have the greatest singing voice, but his blues-rock guitar work more than makes up for it. Besides, there are guest vocalists on several tracks.

Some Kind Of Velvet Sunday Morning is a standout track for me.

Lot of Lou Reed/Velvet Underground references in that title.

IMO, the perfect way to end a (nearly) perfect career. Something about the mood of that track is just so fitting. Selfishly still wishing they would do a farewell tour! However, they have too much integrity for that, and I admire that.

lazarus · 11-15-2012, 10:26 PM

Odd to release a music video over a year after the band breaks up.

Anyway, ZOMG JAMES FRANCO!!!!1!!!!1!!!

I wonder if it's also a reference to the Lee Hazlewood song "Some Velvet Morning".

I had to check this out.

Lee Hazlewood - Nancy Sinatra, Some Velvet Morning - YouTube

It is a male/female duet, but otherwise I don't see much similarity.

greenlight7-11 · 11-16-2012, 12:17 AM

Yeah, I just meant that maybe the song's title had been an inspiration rather than the song itself.

GirlsAloudFan · 11-16-2012, 03:27 PM

Lindsay Lohan. I would still do this.

Early, early R.E.M.
18 months before 'Chronic Town' came out

REM - 1981.02.20 or 1981.02.21 @ 688 Atlanta - YouTube

Early versions of Gardening at Night and Radio Free Europe at the end

LemonMelon · 11-30-2012, 02:32 PM

What the hell is on Michael's head?

He stole it from John Lennon. Bono stole it back.

u2popmofo · 01-16-2013, 09:38 PM

What r youz guyz opinionz on the Chronic Town EP? Please tell me.

Danny Boy · 01-16-2013, 09:57 PM

Well, my first exposure to it was on Dead Letter Office, so I never really knew it as a standalone EP. Wolves, Lower and Gardening at Night are the standout tracks for me. I understand Ages of You was cut from the final tracklist, but that's a fine track as well and I think it would have fit.

My local vinyl shop has 3 copies of it, but $30 seems steep for 5 track I already have on CD.
