Finally listened to the whole record today...

So. Fucking. Good!

Still waiting for an LP of Bayleaf.

same.

i wish i could find my CD.

still waiting for this new brad on CD!

I found the new LP on clearance at Newbury Comics yesterday, so I snagged that up. Haven’t heard it yet!

And yes, sign me up for a Bayleaf press, too. I bought a copy of that at Nuggets on Comm Ave and kept it when I sold all of my other CDs like 10 years ago.

i would buy the new one, but i mostly want Shame or Best Friends? on vinyl.

I’ve seen the recent repress of Shame in record stores, so it seems get-able. I have the 2023 pressing and have always been happy with it.

Best Friends has been OOP for a while, I hesitated when it was like $30 and now you can’t get it under $200.

Found another review for that latest album: https://www.undertheradarmag.com/review ... _born_brad

Im still need to listen to it more. I did like a lot what Shawn was doing or thinking in terms of his vocals, felt like a departure from his previous albums.

Regan posted this picture on IG. Stone, Regan and Shawn a long time ago...

Not on Spotify. How do I hear the Brad song, you fuckers!!!!

Damn it, I want to hear this compilation. Apart from this new Brad track Im also very much interested in the unreleased Painted Shield track, that new Ani DiFranco & Stone Gossard track and Brittany Davies cover of 'Present Tense''.

looking for this too, it's so annoying to not be able to procure these records, they will release digitally eventually, right? right???
