yes sir, they do:

We accept VISA and MasterCard, as well as checks (they're held for a week or two until our bank says it's okay), money orders, IMOs (International Money Orders drawn in US dollars only), and (well-concealed) cash (if you mail cash, send it via registered mail!) Credit card orders can be submitted via Netscape, Internet Explorer, AOL or any other browser. If you'd rather send credit card info via fax, mail, or email, that's okay, too. You may also print out a time-tested paper order form and snailmail it to us instead. We're not able to issue cash refunds; if you prepay your order and send it via snailmail and we are out of stock on any of your choices, we will issue a credit slip to be used on subsequent orders. If you need assistance or have any questions about online ordering, contact help@midheaven.com.

I don't have ANY money to buy anything,

Thanks.

toxic johnny 05.04.2006 08:39 AM

I'm real anxious to get my copy too... I guess It will take until next week to reach the UK.

Concrete Abutments 05.04.2006 10:15 AM

Did anybody get their copy yet? I ordered mine on Sunday and it's not here. I have a radio show tomorrow night at midnight and REALLY wanted to use it then. SoulSeek maybe just so I can use it on the air?

I got mine today and i'm listening to helen lundeberg now... and I can wow this fuckin awesome! Can;t wait to spin the eyeliner side.

I think it was left off because these songs were recorded at murray street and they just didn't have access to the tapes or some such shit. It's something to do with murray street.

Thurston's voice sounds funny in a good way on eyeliner./ Yea, it was good, not quite as good as helen tho. Glad I bought this baby.

nobye-noaloha 05.05.2006 04:10 AM

duderanchnurse 05.05.2006 07:13 AM

can someone please encode them in mp3 and post a link?
thanx

scott v 05.05.2006 11:54 AM

I got my copy yesterday and i think i ordered mine on Friday?...
anyways these 2 tracks are rockers w/ much more crunchier guitars
than anything on the new album so w/ that and thurston's vocal delivery they really don't fit in well on Rather Ripped, and thats no surprise that they aren't included on it. i suppose i can comparitively say that the 7" sounds quite abit more Stooges style punk influenced than anything else they've done in the recent past. I kinda wish that Rather Ripped had some more of the "abrasiveness" like on this 7".

skinnypaul 05.05.2006 01:09 PM

FWIW UK online retailers seem to have got these in today. Boomkat and Norman records both have them - I imagine they'll turn up at Rough Trade et al as well.

The Norman site claims these are limited to 500 copies.

toxic johnny 05.06.2006 05:12 AM

Got mine in the mail today.... and holy fuck it was worth the wait... I LOVE this single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I agree with everything that Scott v has said.
Eyeliner has a real freeform feel and a beautiful abrasive sound.
Helen Lundeburg is just fantastic from beginning to end...great song structure and lyrics as well as the crazy squall. They have to play them on the next tour as they will be killer.

Ok here we go... I think that they are the best thing's that they have done since NYCG+F, which is a landmark album in my opinion.

Buy it and crank it up.

Neongod 05.06.2006 11:42 AM

These tracks are very, um, sub-par. Nothing at all like the RR tracks. Good choice to release them seperately. They do, however, contain much of the Sonic noise some of you miss.

toxic johnny 05.07.2006 02:17 PM

No one else got this yet?

whorefrost 05.09.2006 05:00 AM

arrived this morning... wow... fucking great... so much better than rather ripped! helen lundeberg is fantastic... eyeliner is cool, i've a feeling it will grow on me a lot more... it sounds like it should have been a kim gordon vocal maybe! i could imagine her using her bodacious vocal stylings as heard on mariah carey and the arthur doyle handcream.... it sounded like thursotn was trying to kind of emulate that style maybe... maybe she has given up such vocals in favour of psuedo english rock incantations... (see what a waste)

whorefrost 05.10.2006 11:06 AM

i love the drumming, the guitars, the lyrics, the vocal stylings.... it sounds like classic SY but its completely rad and its like the Fall meets free jazz meets punk meets cool shit and i love it and helen lundeberg reminds me of New Puritan by the Fall a bit and the vocals are like from Thurston's book of poetry and they're great and i hate the vocals on rather ripped they're so half assed!

jheii 05.10.2006 11:14 AM

I definitely enjoy Helen Lundeburg: sounds a bit like DNA. Eye Liner is fun, but not as much -umph- if you dig me. All in all I'm not dissapointed.

Ich bin gael 05.10.2006 02:43 PM

I picked it up at the store today for $4. Can't wait to listen to it.


The art is very shitty though. Minimalism can be done much better.
