This turned up yesterday amoungst a few other records, and it's an interesting one for me.
I have loved The Get Up Kids since I saw them tour here the first time with Jebediah and play to about 30 non enthused bogans at The Hallam Hotel in the south east suburbs of Melbourne.
I picke up a copy of Something to write home abou that night and have fucking loved the shit out of that record ever since.
To be honest I was never the biggest fan of On a Wire or The Guilt Show, although they were good records.
But back to the record at hand...
I actually think that this would have easily worked as a 7 inch, but I got the 12" 180 gram version of this record.
I am stoked the band has done this record themselves, and I'm sure they will have no problems selling out all 2000 (500 on black, blue, green and pink) copies of this.
The art is really cool. Simple and understated, and works really well with the songs.
Speaking of the songs, nice quirky songs, with a touch of melancholy. I dunno what else to say really. If you like the get up kids, you'll be into this record. I'm really looking forward to a new album now!
