Great to see-I'd heard that Ed was a pinball guy. Been a fan of these guys since early on when the demo tapes were being traded around my high school, so nice to see that they're still making music. Really fun live shows too.

Great tune, love the vid.. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed myself, he is probably one of the nicest guys on the planet. I wish him and the gang nothing but the best on their new album and upcoming tour!

Neat-I wonder where they shot the pinball bits? Someone in Austin's gameroom if they're working with Rooster Teeth.

Looks like all of the "buy now" links are going to itunes-anyone else selling this digitally and DRM free? Doesn't look like they're selling direct on their website.

Got the album last week, and it's pretty good-it's definitely growing on me. I still kind of miss the sound they had as a 5 piece, if for no other reason than having another singer in the mix changed things up a little more, but they still manage to keep some variety in the tracks. Silverball is probably the best track on there though.

Only thing that pissed me of about it is that there's a Best Buy exclusive version that has extra tracks that aren't available on the digital version. I thought we were past that..

So, is anyone else going to the Massey Hall show on Friday? I waited a little too long to get tickets (had to make sure we could get someone to watch the kids first), so ended up getting seats up on the 3rd level, but it should still be a fun show. Haven't seen these guys live in years-I think the last time was for a RIM party in 2000 at Lulu's in Kitchener (probably one of the last shows in the venue too). They gave some tickets to 4th year Engineering students as a recruiting stunt (not uncommon back then), so we got a free concert out of it.
