rain king is my guess as well.

Shit, yeh, I meant Rain King.

judging by the most recent performance of it in, yeah rain king

I thought rain king as well. additionally, it was very seldom played

everybody gets a gold star today!

That's a really cool song. I also didn't know Mascis was helping out with the record. It sounds like this record is going to be really good.

Heh that was awesome.

What i think will make the record so great is the strings (Samara) which give a new sound to Thurston's, his songcraft no doubt and the incorporation of Mascis, John Moloney, Christina Carter, Andrew 'gown' Macgregor and leslie Keffer (providing some noise for 'Off Work').
he has used that whole part of a scene into the album.

I haven't anticipated a record that much as this one. Thanx to kim for convincing Thurston to change the title to 'Trees Outside The Academy'!

They've played candle live when supporting EJST&NS in 93-ish and definitly during the Murray Street tour and they've brought it out of the bag several times lately... my guess is that its also Rain King, which was hardly played even when supporting Daydream Nation, that or perhaps The Sprawl or Hey Joni...

The new solo album should be good, the supporting cast makes sense for what Ecstatic Peace! is about, and having Christina Carter doing additional vocal duties is a huge plus i saw her and Tom as Charalambides last week and they were great Christina has one of best voice's i've heard live, period...

The stuff about Mascis taking the odd shredd-ass solo in there sounds cool ...

Really looking forward to this, though, should be interesting. Will it be easy to get hold of, or will I need to pre-order it d'ya think?

I suppose it wouldn't be difficult to lay your hands on, distribution through Fontana/Universal I guess.

Thats good.

yeeessssss! hey thurston, lets go boogie boarding!

Interesting that Thurston uses the Bass POD. The grey thing on his lap at the beginning.

I was wondering what that was. What does it do?
