Best EP tracklist ever, or best EP tracklist ever?

[dannyboy]

Oh yes! That is so awesome. I cannot wait to give it a listen.

[Thomas]

Ordered it. Hope I grab the lewis 7" as well.

[Ren]

Me too! ORDERED.

EDIT: Just got the "buy this thing!" email from Domino...after I ordered it. Well done me.
Um, also, I already have the 7". Who wants the spare if I am one of the first 20?

(Me Please Ren!)

I was just about to hit the confirm button when I realized it wouldn't send until Sept 28th, and I'm leaving on Sept 22nd--to a place without a record player and an address I do not know

[omuse]

I'm in the same boat as you, Richie. My Grand Escape is in a month and I'm trying to pare down to a couple of suitcases, so the record player is probably not coming along.

It looks gorgeous though.

I am searching for my credit card number SO BAD. It was in my wallet, but now, I can't find it! Whhhhyyyy

[Scarychips]

Alright, I found it and I pre-ordered it. I am excited.

[Alyssa!]

Running out to the bank to put some money on my debit card, and then ordering this. 17 16 other forum users, I'm watching you!
Motherlicker, power just went out on my block and killed the atm machine.
Problem solved, for better or for worse. Fingers crossed for being among the 20.

[An Amateur]

Pre-ordered. I don't know if it was such a good idea, I wasn't really thinking. I always get this cold guilt whenever I pay for things over the internet, I'm not sure why.

Scandal, Ankles, and HTDOE, all in one ep? Thomas, you must be dancing right now.

[sorrowbynature]

Wow! I was discussing this new release with a friend just the other day and youtubing songs I was hoping for would end up on it, but didn't really expect this. I'm amazed. Thrilled. I write too much. Will order this asap.

I'm just a bit curious, since I'm actually FROM Sweden, what's the deal with the EP title?

It seems there might be a tiny explanation for the title here :

I had to cut a bunch of songs off Heartland and these were some of them. These are the ones that I cut 'cause they sounded too poppy. Nor are these aren't the versions that I recorded in Iceland with Jeremy... those versions will never see the light of day because they weren't right.

But these versions are right. I finally got these songs out of my intestines. Passed them. I recorded them in about a week with Rusty Santos acting as engineer, producer and mixer and used "drums" and "bass" (courtesy of Shahzad Ismaily) and "guitars" (courtesy of Thomas Gill) and "synths" that I did myself, as well as that delicious DI'd violin sound that classical players hate.

It's called "A Swedish Love Story" in tribute to my friend Kalle Josephson, who works as a party-starter and lecturer in Stockholm. He introduced me to the movie En Karlekshistoria and also asked me why I hadn't recorded more songs like "What Do You Think Will Happen Next?"---a song which was itself inspired by Jens Lekman whose Rocky Dennis EP was destroying me around the same time

SO ANYWAY it's poppy and well-sung and Rusty did an amazing job and I hope it finds its way to a couple of your dance parties. Don't get upset when you hear "Honour" it doesn't sound like you'll expect but it sounds better than it ever did.

I'm slightly scared now...

No good for those of us without a means to play vinyl though. I want a CD release!!
