The Early November Band • Page 64

Wow, the version on patreon is pretty different. He posted that he sold the music of it to a different band and it turned into this song.

 

ouch my ears!

 

I still think some YouTuber or tiktoker will cover the acoustic version of it, and it will go viral.

From Patreon
"only a handful of people have ever heard this song. it was actually placed on now thats what i call music a few years back. but i was advised not to sign the record deal that came with it.. and then everything fell through.

i was a truly challenging time in my life.

anyway... the music portion of the song was purchased by a band called walk off the earth. and they did their own cool thing over it. but this is the original.. probably the closest i ever came to that "magic moment"

enjoy it!"

 

Always excited for new TEN. Didn't really get into Lilac much, but curious to hear how these sound.

 

Based off this tracklist, are the b-sides the original recordings, or re recordings?

I would guess from a legal standpoint they would have to be rerecordings right? Would Drive Thru own the original demos?

 

Everything is a re-recording.

 

Any Jersey peeps who were planning on going to their NYE show in Asbury know if they’re honoring those tickets for the pony show in October?

 

Pumped!!! I really wanted Make Believe to be on this though

My body is ready.

 

Going to have to look up Achieving The Normal. I know Dream is Over is(also?) a Finding Westerly song which they were connected to TEN somehow and I can’t remember how.

 

Anyone find pre order links yet for the Creep Records or Indie Store Exclusive variants?

 

new Make It Happen is pretty good but I definitely get a bit of inpostor syndrome after having the other two versions for... ahem, like 20 years. It's hard to hear a new take on it. Definitely less vocally emotional in this version, but still is a really nice take on it.

Honestly, I think I'm gonna have a hard time wrapping my head around an album that's half songs I've known a long time and half brand new hah

 

I can send you mp3s of either of those if you want

 

Sometimes I feel like I’m watching a Jew celebrate Christmas while I sit in the corner and watch you open presents.

 

I'll keep an eye out if the Vinyl Junkies Shack says anything in their newsletter

 

I'm gonna have to catch this tour. TEN plus ICMAM sounds like a delightful emo night out.

 

That double Ace bill is amazing, but this being at Brooklyn bowl is the icing on the cake.

 

Hope this goes well for them but feel like this really is a niche market they are targeting with this.

Feel like a repress of For All This and Acoustic EP box set (maybe with this as a Third disc) would have sold better. Man if they made the vinyl for acoustic EP just like the CD is be all over it. That was my favorite CD. After looking Enjoy the Ride did exactly what I described in 2011.

Interesting and good for them for going for something different though

 

They should just market it as a new album

 

Are they not?

 

Why wouldn’t anyone consider this a new album? It’s 10 new recordings, 5 being songs that only the most hardcore of fans know about.
It kinda reminds me of that last Tegan & Sara album where they recorded songs they wrote 20 years ago
