I first heard this song almost 4 years ago in a room where im still convinced there were only people there to see Manchester Orchestra. It was my first time seeing them and this was the first song they played.
Having seen the bad 20 odd times since that night a lot has changed and yet this song has never been released... until now.
It's been a favourite for a very long time, listening to haggard live recordings, im glad to have a legit version.
I'd love to see colour revolt make the trip to the UK one day...
This is great! piggy and beaker are awesome!
Iv'e been talking with friends a lot about the affect of streaming music over the internet.
This is a pretty buzzing area as in recent years both technological enhancements and internet speed have meant that people can access the internet almost anywhere on devices small enough to fit in your pocket. In the UK and europe over the last 12-18 months millions of users have signed up to use Spotify and replaced their usual music consumption habits. The majority of those using Spotify as using a free business model that means that the user must listen to adverts after every couple of songs in exchange for almost unlimited free music streams.
For years i've seen peers comparing sizes of iTunes libraries with each other with no real mention of how much have been purchased legally, this years sales figures show this is an alarming problem. It seems listeners main concern is hearing the new 'bands name' album instead of being in the store purchasing it on the release day. Its not at all surprising that these people are the ones who are moving to free alternatives at such speed. For years its been been said that the music industry's biggest problem is finding a way to combat illegal downloads, streaming could be the answer to that problem, but at what cost. I feel that the real problem facing the music industry is finding a way to get people to spent money on music again. But in an age where its 100x easier to download or stream a bands new record can this problem really be solved? Right now it seems to be that bands are moving away from traditional model, kick-starters seem to be becoming prominent where bands are getting people to pay for records before they're even made, offering guest list spots and tee shirts costing the band significantly less to produce than the retail value to the consumer. While this presents a small answer to struggling musicians its longevity is debatable.
