Got it today! As a bonus, the FLAC download is hi-res 96k/24-bit, which I wasn’t expecting. Sounds awesome.
Still nothing for me 🙁
The downloads tab shows just the Tiny single MP3/FLAC. I’ve sent them a message. Perhaps my account has somehow not been tagged as eligible for the album download.Can’t wait to hear it!

So, here we are: CD, T-Shirt and stickers.

My mistake… I was in the process of throwing away the packaging and found that the lithograph print was in there. I almost destroyed it!

It arrived this morning, so that was 8 days to the UK.
Apart from the CD and T-shirt, it included some stickers: One shaped purple/white with the same design as the T-shirt, a ‘Sub Pop’ sticker, ‘Mirel Wagner’ and ‘LOSER’. I thought it said something about a lithograph print, but I don’t seem to have that.
(I just took a photo of it all, but I can’t see how to embed a picture(?) )

Well written:

For me, the album is already sounding like a familiar old friend, despite having only had access for 24h.
It’s working for me too. I’m planning to have a proper listen tonight. Headphones, darkness, no distractions.

[quote quote=160365]If you pre-ordered the album via Sub pop, you can stream it from the 28th July from your account!! https://megamart.subpop.com/releases/j_mascis/tied_to_a_star [/quote]
July 28th is here. Midnight has passed, even in Seattle. No stream! I’m assuming it will appear later today, perhaps 9:00 PDT.

I’ll just have to wait and see then… Anyway, I wanted the grey t-shirt and, as far as I can see, that’s only available from Sub Pop in the US. Tax or no tax, at least I got the instant gratification of a nice 320kbps MP3 of the new track which is sounding lovely.
Any rumours about UK live dates? It looks like it could be pretty much any time, before or after the US dates, or in the big gap in late October. Hopefully there will be more than one, and not just something mid-week in London which is a pain for me. Bristol/Oxford would be good. If it’s going to be solo acoustic, then I think I’m right in saying that’s always meant London in the past (Bush Hall most recently in my case).
Awesome. He’s hilarious and he knows it – surely! I’m sure there must be scope to develop this into a TV series. A sort of fly-on-the-wall mockumentary of J pottering around this house, writing songs, cooking dinner, watering the plants, etc. It could cut abruptly back and forth between that and live footage. One second he’s in the garden, smelling the flowers and observing the beauty of a butterfly, and the next – BAM! – abrupt cut to a live performance of Mountain Man, scorching your face off with the solo, cut off mid-flow back to J’s house where he’s cleaning his bathroom.
@empire2 I’m a bit worried now re the customs. I bought a T-shirt previously (in 2011) from Sub-Pop Mega Mart and didn’t have a problem with that, but it may have been because the cost was less than a threshold…
I’m still trying to decide between the purple T-shirt bundle (from US to England; cheaper than Frock Steady, as @empire2 says) and the grey T-shirt bundle from Sub-Pop Mega Mart. Tough choice!
Looks like Frock Steady are handling the Europe side of things again:
Here’s the episode: http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/33690179635/RocKwiz-S11-Ep146-J-Mascis-Adalita-Sarah-Lee-Guthrie
Appears to be playable from the UK. Not sure how to capture it (YTD doesn’t support it).
