Same. It’s still such a gem.
I got it that weekend. Wild to think that the three albums I loved most from that year -- Bayleaf, Bob Dylan's "Love and Theft," and Jay-Z's "The Blueprint" -- were all released on 9/11.

They were great. Different. And also the first peak at some of these unique and pretty intimate/personal songs, bare bones.
From those two sets, we got to hear Can't Keep fully fleshed out on Riot Act later that year.
The rest were under wraps for some time. To have them pop up on a quiet LP 9 years later was a blast (for me).
That ATP show from 2002 is one of my favorite boots ever. Love that version of "Longing to Belong" on there.

I missed mentioning Thumbing My Way, the first time.
But yeah, those two boots are

We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

I liked the idea of a 'treasure hunt'. Certainly cheesy, but it's something that gets fans excited and involved.

I also like the idea of planting little teaser snippets in various online and broadcast media. Sports is a weird choice though unless they are really focusing on the mature dad market.

yeah I think the games could work if there were prizes worth searching for (new snippets); maybe there will be soon
They missed the chance with the Movie Theater thing.
They should have played the record first, and then a live permormance of it.
It would have been really good, but they don't get together to do this kind of stuff anymore. The death of the Ten Club single is the epitome. Now, the best time to do it, easier than ever, the band let it go.
It's sad to see them throw away almost every little thing that made them special.
