Probably should’ve posted this in the Other Bands thread, but I thought the typewriter font was an interesting choice, and Other Bands is for, well...you know.

I'm confused why you didn't post that in Other Bands.

Probably not up to anyone's standards on here, but I don't know when I'll have time to fire it up.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

B, did your order status ever change to "shipped"?
I ask because my vinyl order hasn't changed at all.

Because it’s really just a reference to Pearl Jam, and I’ve seen people gripe about mentioning them in the Other Bands thread.

Clearly, I’ve messed up. Is there a fee associated with this crime?

Where's the PJ reference? No crime, just confused.. especially because you mentioned knowing about the Other Bands forum and how you didn't think it'd fit there. I'm just genuinely confused about your thought process here.

The font in that tweet. It’s the same used on Binaural and Gigaton.

Lol...my Lightning Bolt order from 7 years ago is still "pending" according to 10C!

But man $13.99 for international shipping for a CD...i'm not holding my breath but would like to think they could get this thing in my hands at least close to release date.

also, one of the things i really like about Gigaton is Ed refraining from going into those screechy places he would have previously gone into. Even as recently as Can't Deny Me.

Of The Earth falls into that bad yelling category to me. That singing style would have stood out like a sore thumb, unless he completely dialed the vocals back on a new recording.

Mine still says "Pending." I never got an e-mail or anything. I also ordered the LP/7" vinyl package, and haven't seen that yet.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
