We haven't had an Agalloch thread in a while...

Oh! Oh! Oh! I don't use .80mm picks, so why was there one on the floor?

 

[JayKeeley]

BTW, it's a good thing I took the L shirt because even L is positively huge for me. It should be alright but damn! American sizes are really a lot larger than the European ones... But again, thanks!

Here's another thing about American clothing - wash it and see it shrink two sizes.

et voila, courtesy of Haughm.

 

[Erik]

Oh, thx thx thx I use the same brand of picks as Haughm *urinates with glee*

Yeah, I'll try washing the shirt at 60 degrees or something.

 

[J.]

anyone else extremely disappointed by the pointless Grey EP?

 

[Erik]

Not exactly disappointed, because I had an idea of what to expect.

 

[NAD]

I gots my shirt, but my public display of ever increasing insanity due to that Especially Likely Sloth CD already told you that.

My Grey EP showed up yesterday but I haven't listened to it yet.

For me, I saw that version of The Lodge live, where it worked wonders. Perhaps it holds some nostalgia for me now, but I like the EP. However, I would agree that it is for 'completists' only, it's not the equivalent of something like a Cathedral EP where they put out viable material that wouldn't normally fit their albums.

 

[J.]

It just seems like pointless meandering to me. So what, are Agalloch gonna release a 2 or 3 song EP for every tour now? It just doesn't sound (or look) like a lot of effort was put into this.

 

[Erik]

After one washing at 60 centigrades the shirt fits a lot better. Nice. BTW, Jay, your CD's are done. Sending 'em tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised if Agalloch never toured again. They never even wanted to do these current tours in the first place.

I think this EP is supposed to be part of a trilogy, either this is the final part (with The Mantle being part 1); or Tomorrow Never Comes was part 1, The Grey was part 2, and The Wolves of Timberline will be part 3.

I'm sure it's meant as a collectors item, and therefore only 1000 pressed.

Ah, good ol' reliable American cotton. Mine shrink even when washed in cold water.

Look forward to the CD's. Do you think I should review any?

 

[Demonspell]

Unless I'm mistaken, www.vendlus.com states that The Grey completes the trilogy, which would make The Mantle the first part, as the Nest split is not intended to be supplement the album as the EPs were.

 

[NAD]

From another thread:

...I for one want to stop live activity for awhile and really concentrate on writing our next album. I have been quite vocal about this to The End.

[JayKeeley]

That's what I would call good news AND bad news.

Agalloch guys are pretty grown up - according to JWW, two of them are married, and one of them is a university professor. He didn't specifiy which one was which, however.

 

[NAD]

...and one of them is a university professor.

I can almost feel Erik's desire to move to the US for university growing...
