Okay, this is really embarassing, but when it got to the end I screamed and then almost started to cry. I immediately clapped my hand over my mouth so my housemate wouldn't think I was crazy.
P.S. Just noticed pre-ordering starts tomorrow. The video lists 15 of the songs and then says 'plus 13 more.' Pretty sure it's just 26 total, but we'll see tomorrow. I'm going to wait a few days to post what the tracks are so you aren't spoiled. You got to see the video.
P.P.S. I can't get anything done. I just keep watching the video and sighing a lot.

There's this one song that's both incredibly hilarious and incredibly sad. It's humor definitely belongs to the Philip Dic'key school of self-deprecation.

YES. I search "sslyby" on Twitter a lot out of boredom and because it's a good way of hearing news first. Looks like Spinning Sea might be a recent name change. According to the liner notes everything was remixed and when something really annoyed the band they may have made tiny edits. I'm going to go through my iTunes sometime and compare Tape Club songs with versions I already have, including lengths and bit rates and such. Looks like two with demo in the name are definitely different than demos I already had, so that's really cool. P.S. I know not all of our schedules match, but anyone want to have a listening party over Skype some evening Aug 21-25? I'll probably do another one sometime after Aug 26.

I will be at a Leadership conference from 23rd-25th, and I'll be pretty busy from getting ready for recruitment for my organization and hanging out with my little freshmen, but that would be really cool, especially if we did that for whenever the next album comes out
Also, I've noticed that since Pershing, I think John has really come into his own as a songwriter. I love everyone's songs, but I really love Phil's songs the most on the old stuff, Broom and Pershing. But I really like John's new songs like Letter Divine, Critical Drain, New Day, Bended, Everlyn etc. This is assuming that whoever writes the song sings it. And I know Phil, Will, John, and Jonathon all help each other with lyrics. But I really love Letter Divine

The songs that I haven't heard before that are on this album are completely killing me. UGH. So good. "New Day," "Coming Through" and "Letter Divine" are my current obsessions. Yesterda it was "Chili Cook Off" "Yellow Missing Signs" and the "Phantomwise" demo. And I still love "Bended" and if I ever heard it live I would lay down on the floor and weep.
So, it's for the best that I will never hear it past the comfort of my own home.

Saves released their teaser the day before, so I had a constant conflict of watchingment and didn't know exactly what to do with myself.

Both Bended and Sink/Let It Sway had huge personal importance to me the first several months or so after they came out. Still do. I would love it if John someday taught the rest of the band this song so I could hear it live.
