Delayed gratification is all good and fine but i don't think i'm going to have any serious qualms about listening to a far from perfect compressed copy. I already payed for both a CD and Vinyl version and I really don't feel that it will take away from the experience of blasting it on a proper stereo once it's official. If anything it will make me look forward to it more.

I can't wait for headphones, myself. This all seemed like a really great fan-assisted transmission.

I'm sincerely attempting to not be hyperbolic just for the sake of it, but that was probably the greatest album I've ever heard. At the very least, it was hands down the best album listening experience of my life. I'm still in a daze. My heart has utterly melted. Those of you who couldn't make it, you have a lot to look forward to.

So did anyone with access to the DMV run the plates on the old pickup truck to see who owns it?

oh you know just THIS AGAIN.

it seems like this whole thing has been a little polarizing for people, but i for one am loving every single second of it. the hits just keep coming.

on another note, i'm not the most active member on twoism, but i wanted to take this chance to tell everybody it has been really nice knowing there's a whole lot of really cool people elsewhere that are all just as excited about this as i am. i believe it was sometime last year when i finally started to think that a new album really just wasn't ever coming. i'm very glad to be wrong about it.

Saw you were from Austin. Don't really have anything else to say. Should definitely have a listening party

Yes it will my friends. I will get the edit to you asap. Still gotta make the gawdawful drive home 6 hours ... and its fucking bumper to bumper. But, if I gotta get stuck in traffic to be a part of what just happened ... yeah. Can do.

Sketchy connection out here in the desert so full report later will be edging what I shot first thing when home. Sorry again for not keeping up while live. Damn phone died.

I think you may just have won the internets for today

Oh man that was awesome...the album is beautiful, it was nice to hear it with all that desert scenery around. At the end one of the guys that set the thing up said "I just got a text from the band, they said they love you guys".

PAUL! You came through! your'e my hero! No seriously. Will it be posted or should i give you my email?

Nah, just had the gear and decided since it was in my beautiful state, and i love the desert ... it had to be done! i also knew so many of you were here sending us all some seriously good vibes and couldn't be there for countless reasons. I was seriously planning on a live gig. Since that didn't happen I have a nice locked shot of the ... airstream the truck and speakers. Sorry guys. Guess I was too optimistic. Yes, I brought the "dead kitty" wind muffler for my ZOOM recorder. Quite nice - pretty much zeroed out any hint of wind. I will edit it when I get home but that won't be til 3a PDT. Sleep can wait. Will load it to my YouTube page (look for Turk 242). There's already my humble reatment of the cosecha transmission there but tomorrow will be today's festivities.

Ok, so enough of the dry tech talk. To asnwer your question Decorah: kennychiwa147 said it best. I am still a little in disbelief. I quickly got over the no live show thing. It was just really cool to look around and see literally every walk of life there - young and old. That's when you know it's quality music. The setting was impeccable. Surreal. I am an avid trailer camper so this set piece made me smile wide. When the music came on I was pretty much swept away. I considered taking notes but felt like a tool as i was already standing up there with the camera. my buddy kept encouraging me to enjoy the experience too (he was the one rocking the ray bans in the blue t shirt). Yes the air was thick, sweet and sticky.

Ok, music - I listened to RFTD for 90 minutes yesterday on loop while running in big sur. never did that with any track in my life. It did not get old. So when I heard it today I wasnt sure how i would react. gotta say i got pretty choked up. I think it was everything - setting, with fellow BOCers, the sky - and the transition was wicked. The opening bits were really a blur. I was shaking and trying not to fuck up the recording. I do remember the fanfare and thought that was really nice. As for the rest, well you'll just have to wait I guess. I will say this - game changer. BEST. ALBUM. EVER.

Yeah, that's right ...

We're you sitting on the rock? Sorry mate - wish id intro'd myself. regardless, it was pleasure to be there and share this experience with you.

I just got home from the listening party in Newberry Springs and I am damn glad that I took the leap of faith and headed out there. Being in such an intimate, exclusive location with fellow BOC fans and being some of the first non-journalist/insiders in the world to hear TH in it's entirety was an experience I will always cherish and remember.
Big ups to Josh with Warp Record with whom I had a nice enlightening chat.
It was also great to meet Tonx and you all owe him a cold one for the live U-streams that he did.
I took a ton of high res photos and HD video although I will not be posting any of the music that has not been officially released out of respect to the artists and label. I am sure there are plenty of others who have or will be doing so in the coming hours. I will post photos on my website soon, but first I need to hit the shower and wash off the desert grit and grime.
BEST MEMORIAL DAY EVER!
