[Animals! So Weird]

oh my goodness, a nedelle cover!!!

[byronhulcher]

I remember seeing nedelle when I saw Xiu Xiu live. She was really kinda cute just sitting up there herself with an acoustic guitar singing songs about a puppy's wet nose. My friend got her cd afterward.

NEW CD! WITH JAMIE STEWART!

I am not liking this whole "no mention of US tour dates"

I am looking forward to this EP, because I love EP's now.

HUZZAH for Xiu Xiu!

[smithcorey]

australia probably means america. no one would ever visit that kangaroo infested dot on the map with a right mind. GO USA!

vulture piano is the best track name that i've heard in a long time.

it'll be all over the internet by like.. june/july.

and im only saying that because i know all of you will actually buy it.

[jarretttree]

So excited, im sure it will be worth the wait.

[byronhulcher]

I got La Foret about a month before its release, then bought the CD and the LP, and the CD again for a birfday present. So I don't really feel guilty about saying that I might test drive it before buying the crap out of it.

[todd]

will this cover EP be limited to like 50 copies? or will I have a chance to buy one?

[todd]

OH WAIT!
is "save me" a cover of the Aimee Mann song?


I'm not sure if these questions will be answered here, but I can hope.

[Saiken]

Hurrah.

[bignothing]

yes!

[kevin]

if "save me" is a cover of aimee mann i will die. magnolia is my favorite movie of all time.
