Land of Talk came back from a long break on December 2015. Since then, everything we’ve heard from the band is good news. First it was the Spring shows, then some hints at new music and now, Saddle Creek, their record label, has announced that both Land of Talk’s albums – Some Are Lakes (2008) and follow-up Cloak and Cipher (2010) – are back in print on vinyl.
“This is the first time these two albums have been available in print on vinyl in many years and comes on the heels of Land Of Talk’s return to the stage this spring and summer”, states a press release by the Omaha-based label.
Elizabeth Powell and co. have been posting bits of new music on Instagram, and the Montreal band even pointed out on Twitter that their upcoming album is almost ready and will be out on early 2017.
You can order Land of Talk vinyl through the Saddle Creek site – there’s a deal that will get you both for 30 USD –. You can also keep on celebrating Land of Talk’s return by giving the band’s debut album a listen.
Hello
Good morning!
Love LOT!
Hi Russ (Hi Yort)
Where did my image go?
Aaaand where did your other comment go?
I have no idea where your image went (yet) and my other comment was just a test to try out a new plugin (that might be related to why your image has vanished)
Test
Second test
why is everyone so testy today?
hello Benoit
It’s Testy Wenzdee…
That would explain it Russ
It could be worse, it could be testis Wednesday
Wow…
This site is, was? being weird. It misaligned the margin last time. Normal now.
And hello.
I found a plugin last night that auto updates the comments but by the looks of things it removes the avatar images of those that log in to comment using twitter.
The question is do I reactivate the plugin or wait until I can find a work around?
OK hi all! Test 3 btw
I couldn’t post this on Chrome because you disactivated. I’ll put it here for the info. (Now posted with FF)
“repost (the previous was with FF, this one with Chrome) With my old OSX, Firefox (latest) doesn’t show the avatars, but Chrome does.
(Just got a posting too quickly, but as an overlay, and it returned me to the message. GOOD! But won’t repost (Copy, refresh, etc.)”
Hey Wes and Garf – we need to stop that ‘slow down you’re posting too quickly’ thing.
I meant I had deactivated the plugin, the post is still there and open (this is going to confuse people)
I don’t know how to access comment throttling or even if it is our wordpress install or our web host
Comment Throttling
Album name?
@tiffy, add it to the list! It may be important to stop spambots, but maybe we could add a note below the form to wait a second before clicking the Post button.
“deactivated”
Hi PrinceFarming 😀
Good morning! Happy Wednesday!
Wynnzie!?
The q culture panel is interesting today. There’s a little opinion push and pull, nice.
I’m reading up on Dick Cavett (from the Tonight Show, a long time ago) and ran across this: “Cavett wrote for Paar the famous line “Here they are, Jayne Mansfield,” as an introduction for the buxom actress.”
I said D. Cavett was on the Tonight Show, up there. Not true. He had a show opposite it.
I am so frustrated with that plugin, I tried it on my own site with the basic (and old) twenty twelve theme and it wouldn’t work
If you will excuse me I am going to get this out of my system by playing GTA5 for a while
Looks like i’m probably going to see ‘Prophets of Rage’ tonight at the Molson Amphitheatre
Hah! Reg scooped q, which is playing a cut by TUNS today!
Hi All! HI Tiffy, I’d be interested in helping out with that plugin or whatever else can make these comments come in automagically.
So tiffy, without looking, they sound like an overly sensitive, quietly-strumming pack of neohippies.
BFO – It’s a supergroup formed in the disaster that has been this US election cycle with members from Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy
Did I scare everyone away? lol
Howdy
Hi, LB! tiffy, presence here is spotty.
And besides, you two, a few were drawn away to another page, a “test post” page: http://dev.ourbasement.ca/2016/08/24/test-post/#comment-9081
Doing that work thing…
Has anyone seen Arkells live? They’re playing a couple hours from here in October, and I’m trying to decide if I’m going to go.
They are great Live, you should go -> Janet
Hi LV! How are things.
Janet – where do you live?
Thanks for the recommendation, @princefarming!
@Tiffy – I live in Virginia, about 50km northwest of Washington DC. Arkells are playing in Charlottesville, which isn’t a super long drive, but just long enough.
Janet – road trips to go see music are the best kind of road trips. 🙂
@Janet, not a problem, hopefully you’re able to go and enjoy the concert
Hey Gang. I hope all is well. I’ve been very busy with work these days.
Hello Old Abe!
Hellooooo
How is it going?
I’ll second the roadtrip.
Is the road trip for the Arkells show? Count me in! (although I can’t enter the country yet. I reaaally need to check that soon)
More of a mini-road trip, we’ll be back the same day. We’re seeing Guided by Voices and Destroyer at the same place (The Jefferson Theatre) a couple of weeks before Arkells. I’m definitely leaning towards going.
(Haaave you noticed we’re on Twitter too?) https://twitter.com/our_basement
small thing, re: prophets of rage – don’t forget that B-Real from Cypress Hill is also in that group.
Oh, and hey y’all.
It’s crazy to me that Some Are Lakes came out in 2008 – that messes up my timeline because I thought it was maybe more ’06 or ’07 (reason being I have a specific memory relating to a specific person and the title track song that had to have happened before 2008). Weird.
janet, I’d venture that Arkells will be louder than those other two (but then do I know that? nope, just guessing away — though Arkells ARE loud); that said, I’d venture most people who used to listen to R3 when it was something would say “hell yes, Arkells are worth going to some trouble to see.
“
I really like the new Arkells album.
I would go through some trouble to see them. And you know I do get in trouble easily when I have the resources.
Also, who was it that said their S/O likes AJJ (a band from Phoenix)? Here’s my interview… in Spanish: http://www.gatopardo.com/portafolio/musica/ajj-the-bible-album/
the comment throttling is a WP thing. I think it’s Akismet. Not sure if it’s still a plug-in or if it’s now built in to WP.
is it only those who aren’t logged in who get that message?
