New Pornographers "Twin Cinema" and the Decemberists "Picaresque" were both great 3rd indie albums from the 2000s.

Yeah, Picaresque was an oversight on my part. Add it to the list.
my brain still says antlers because that announcement was too coincidental..
my gut wants new pornographers, modest mouse, or broken social scene
likelihood says its probably grizzly bear
Sigh. I'm so tired. Missed it.

No! I really don’t want if for be The Antlers’ Hospice! That album is boring, timorous and dry! Hospice would be an instant skip for me!
Hospice would be my least favourite Essentials ROTM in a very long time! I liks Jim Sullivan’s U.F.O. more than The Antlers’ Hospice!
If we get Hospice, it’s okay though because it means we would be getting Usher’s Confessions which is a superb album + a great 70’s funk album (likely the magnificent ‘There’s A Riot Goin’ On’ by Sly & The Family Stone)!
I think TTL just did Broken Social Scene S/T and "You Forgot it in People". I've been hesitating picking them up as the last time I ordered from TTL in Canada it was RTJ2 and that came just under $60CA. I want those albums but not willing to spend over $100 on both.
I've been eyeing a copy of "The Moon and Antarctica" from my local, wonder if anyone can tell me how the current pressing sounds? I don't think I'll rely on the off chance that VMP will pick it up. It's pretty doubtful they will.

Good enough that I likely wouldn’t be repurchasing if it were the ROTM.
Cool, even if it's ROTM I think I'll probably just pick it up from my local instead and save the money for the track.I have this one and it’s alright…

Do you happen to have "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank"? That one's a bit pricey at my local ($54) and I've debated picking that one up. I put that album right below Moon and Antarctica imo, but I've heard the pressing isn't so great.
Someone on Reddit already has Wu in hand.
No tracking here yet though. And would be shocked if I got the 7" lol
Wu, PE, Hawkins and Morgan are out for delivery today. No discog listings for the three ROTM I ordered yet and I'm not going to go through the hassle of adding them, so someone please make the listings
No notice on the 7" and I want it, which means I'm not gonna get it.
See that's weird. We live in the same city, but no tracking at all for me yet. They usually go out at the same time...Wu, PE, Hawkins and Morgan are out for delivery today.

Ha, technically I'm in KW now (housing in Toronto be cray), but Toronto is easier to identify.
In other news, album covers alone make me glad I ordered the VMP Spiritualized instead of the general release. Boring AF.

Maybe since my 3 mo. sub is expiring they want to really wow me with shipping speeds. I hope they wow me with their selection for the next three because the hints do not point to anything terribly exciting yet.
