god i love this band

a favourite of the mountain goats i believe........do we know what the 'extra's' are for the uk addition?

the extras

may be the two bonus songs that are on the US Dead Oceans release? A new version of La Denigracion and a song called Matchstick Maker (I downloaded them from emusic, to save me from having to buy the album twice).

Am seeing these guys on the 19th and 20th, but didn't realise they were playing on the 18th as well. Hmmm, have to decide whether I want to go to that one as well!

Really hope this album gets lots of praise when it's released here. Was disappointed to see teletext's Mr Earls give them an average score recently. But he did the same with Sufjan's Illinois, so I'm not too sure what he can't hear some of the times!
