Just pre-ordered the vinyl AND CD and postage to Oz was only $5.85 (I think I read someone was charge $8 for US shipping of the CD alone?!)

Plus the MYM single is available for immediate download in FLAC (and mp3, ALAC, WAV). Pearl Jam, you're doing it right :nice:

So is there any difference between the regular and 10c versions of the cd and vinyl other than a couple of video clips?

"Lightning Bolt" is a fucking stupid album title. There, I explained it.

I don't understand when people say this when there are pages devoted to expressing opinions on why they hate it. I just don't understand .

Good morning, fine people of Red Mosquito!

I love the song.

I love the album title.

I adore the album artwork.

I am incredibly pleased about (and have already purchased) the digital download option.

I think Brendon O'Brien is doing all the piano/organ on the album.

They only take Boom out of his box for tours.
Boom was in that studio video, though, playing some keyboard. So either he recorded his parts in the album, or it was from a rehearsal.

As much as I loathe everything about Backspacer, PJ has actually been on a small win streak with me lately.

Of The Earth, Ole, and now MYM. I like em all. In fact, I think they are pretty great songs. Not Earth-shattering by any means, but still. A streak is a streak.

My hopes are raised.

I went vinyl because I'm a completist. And the digital download comes with. I'll wait on the CD. But I'm sure I'll end up getting it eventually.
