The holiday single thread

[Bammer]

Wait. Why is no one mocking me in this thread? Is RM broken?

Nevermind. I must be misreading sarcasm.

That was the 2016 single.

but it says 2017 on it

I think that was a mistake? The newsletter says 2016.

It's a typo. Santos confirmed.

Mine arrived yesterday in PA.

[VinylGuy]

So this year they will release two christmas singles?

Liars.

that's hilarious

[B]

It's funny the admitted it was a typo. I would have stood by it.

"The music was played in 2017, so we put that date on it even though it is the 2016 single. We made an artistic choice, and are not particularly concerned about the opinions of the internet."

[epilogue]

I got mine yesterday.

Also, we got a double one year after they missed a year. Maybe the next one will also be a double?

Alive sounds great, lovely to hear it with its original tempo.

The other song is meh, but I understand why they included a Chuck Berry song. I'm wary of older bands doing rock'n'roll heydey covers because it feels, to me, like they're running out of ideas.

That was so un

When I consider dropping down to digital I usually look at the value of the items I get.

- digital bootleg: $10
- t-shirt: $20
- vinyl single: $10

I get that for $20. Fine with me. I have a wishlist for membership, and I posted it earlier in this thread, but tossing in an extra $20 for $40 of stuff, most of it limited edition? Fine.

this is correct and too reasonable for this board. bow before B.

Wait a sec...

I've been an analogue member since they became a thing and only ever got 1 t-shirt.

Don't you just get an opportunity to purchase a t-shirt? Rather than actually get a t-shirt as part of your membership?

You have to go "add" the annual tshirt to your cart, then checkout. Or something like that.

Had the same feeling with Last Kiss, but they redeemed themselves with solid recorded output after that. I chalked Leaving Here up to being a tribute to The Who for a benefit album - two tributes in one.

So this finally arrived in the mail today
