Just as a note, There seemed to be some excessive filming for IOU last night in Chicago. Could be some live usage later in the future for it...

I'm either going to be the happiest guy on my 14 hour flight tomorrow or the most miserable. hahaha

edit: If anybody isn't going to use their priority 1 code I can guarantee that will make the 14 hour flight a tad better

Any confirmation that they are picking their own singles? As late as Living Things Mike danced around the question with frustration at a listening party saying we should ask (a name I've forgotten) how they pick singles.

The song name is badass and that's about it. Somebody mentioned it, sounds like a summer vibe song when I was in high school. I don't dial up an LP song for that. Would just bring up an radio station for something similar.

Show was badass. The reworked instrumentals had Mike (Thanks for giving my wife a pick!) and I guessing a bit on the setlist. The faster paced Cigarettes and Kenji we're pretty sweet. Mike was definitely into Kenji and the end screaming of Cigarettes was intense.

Show notes:

A guy kept yelling "Take off your shirt" so Mike gave him an FM shirt

Merch was being sold, vinyls were not, just a sign saying to to FM.com to order

Joe and Brad were spotted there

Mike gave the backstory to Devil's Drop acoustic loop (he told this story before somewhere)

Ugh. Got the deluxe just because I'm a Mike Art whore. Will probably pick up a couple more with the inevitable price drops in a couple months.

Better get a full album and another art show!

There are some really awesome pieces in that show. I wish some prints would be available.

There was one print from the show available from Joe. I think they sold out. His actual piece was numbered to 20 and the print was /200

I was still a little salty that after 5 1iota LP events with 100% attendance, applying for tix immediately, I still didn't get picked. Sucks for those that got tickets though.

 

yah on 1iota's twitter page today, they retweeted somebody already getting their "priority" tickets. i have not received an email from 1iota saying the tickets are available, but i'm sure they send out the tickets in batches....

 

that is the info i have so far, any word on your end?

LOL saw that. They responded and said they'd be going through today and tomorrow. Fingers crossed

 

Yep, truly agree. I'm currently still on the waitlist and i feel like we will be for a little while longer as 1iota sifts through all the requests and looks at attendance history and so on and so forth.....I'll keep you posted on any other developments.

Cool, glad I'm not the only one.

Blah, I'm still on the waitlist for tix. It's a little different from past 1iota events where you instantly got them.

I'm guessing UIG and Wastelands. GATS was Mike's way of pushing a song out to everybody to show the true material versus poppier label selected songs. Wastelands > GATS in terms of label appeal.

"I turn on the rock station in L.A. and it sounds like Disney commercial music."

 

KROQ who plays a lot of Linkin Park? loooool

LAWL 103.9 is a little East of LA, but they play A7X type rock so it's not them. 98.7 is a little harder than KROQ so I don't think it's them either.

They are definitely still salty about Foo Weenie Roast.

Plot twist: Mike hires Stryker to DJ the LPFM Network

Also of note, this odd intro is very similar to the Across the Line French demo. Jam, then intro. Not as dramatic, but very similar.

My .02 on this being released so early in the process. Remember, they've been put under the gun on the last few albums about writing a specific lead single towards the end of the process. Sounds like they've got their shit together and are rolling with it.

Just love the speed of this trick more than anything. It just keeps driving. I'm a bit exhausted jamming to it after 6 minutes only to start again.

I'm clearly to high to do this lol

hahaha I forgot how to phone

It's showing up on AXS for me but no audio

youku isn't working either.

You're not on silent are you

Youku stream start.

How are you viewing? Not seeing anything on the site.

I bit the bullet and ordered the deluxe box set and two copies of the vinyl (I'll pick up the CD via local release).

Pricey yes, but I've spent far more following this band around the country and I'd be kicking myself if I missed out. If the price drops, I'll likely grab a second so I can keep one sealed and open the other.

I've seen deluxe editions of albums go for significantly more than this. Thirty Seconds To Mars' Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams had a $1000 version available - it included a personal thank you call from the band (and so it should at that price!).

Wow a personal note is pretty badass.

Mike commented on twitter (it appears to have been deleted since) that the price is realistic considering how much it cost to make. considering the globe, I'm inclined to believe him - ferrofluid, glass, 3d scultping all adds up, and were not even talking about the production of the art book, box, stylus and CD yet...

$500 isn't insane for the item idea, design and exclusivity. It is insane for this arena of merchandise. If Mike were to sell these at his art show, sure it's pricey, but there is a different market. IDK I guess you could second guess that either way. I dropped $500 on an Ace of Spades print at the first show, don't regret it. It's also fucking huge on my wall so it doesn't go unnoticed. A little Xmas ornament sized item would probably stay in the box.

$500? Cool Story Bro

Agreed on the puzzling price.

Waiting for a Price that will drop in 6 months

My reaction was as follows

This price includes one of the band members.

and the middle nut of another

I think this is possible to happen with LPU 13.

Not sure. Seems like they hold onto seeds for about 5 years then dump them when they're sure they wont be used in the future.

Waiting for a Price that Never Comes

Hmmmmm. Looks a lot like a "cube"

Transformers 4 soundtrack confirmed.

Torrent Download of the full show.

Any help uploading?

LOLOLOL Mike's junk is in my face the second half of ITE (bright green shirt/ tall guy). Crazy good show! Shame XGames didn't fill it up. Having the whole upper section empty pissed me off.
