Re: DMB Record Store Day 2017 (4/22/17)
I apologize if I upset anyone with the goofy little hints I posted to Aforauer last night. I was goofing around, while also being semi-serious. But I apologize if that upset anyone.
What we know for sure is that there is a new album coming out and in all likelihood it will be pressed to vinyl. We don't have much in the way of details of timing (on the album in general), mastering, pressing, variants, etc.
We also can be fairly confident that BTCS is coming this year. With the success of UTTAD and Crash on vinyl (I believe the former is actually close to going Out of Stock at many places and the prices have been climbing for a standard/non-mispress copy), it would be foolish to think they wouldn't continue the studio album releases. And yes, when it comes out, it will absolutely blow away the original 1998 pressing.
Finally, there are likely other releases in the works for this year and beyond. Chad and others have alluded to this potential. I don't think anyone giving vinyl specific hint intend to be vague as a way to dangle a "I know something you don't know!" in front of anyone. But snake911 is right when he notes that some of these things are touchy and publicly disclosing much more than generic hints could lead to less information being available in the future. And yes, some people are just blatantly full of shit - like when we get one of those "a guy I know sent me this email with tracklisting for the new album!" type things.
Anyways, I know some of this is some frustration from the lack of any band related news in a while (Boyd, new Album, BTCS, etc), but I'd hope the flow of information picks up as we make it through spring and get into the swing of the tour.
