Any tidbits on if Spiral Stairs will release an album this year?

Sometime in the next 6 months - could be next year - Patrick

whenever Matador posts mp3s, they have just the generic ID3 tags, making the title "Track _____" and has no other information in the tags.

I have a relatively small iTunes playlist (380 mp3s... mere pittance compared to the multiple thousands regular downloaders have), but when I dump the Matador mp3s into the playlist I need to find them, figure out what the actual title, etc. is and fill in the tags so I can organize them in the mess of my iTunes.

Its really not a big deal at all, as it maybe takes like a minute to do all that, but it might be nice if whoever rips the mp3s over at Matador HQ would take a minute to fill out all that stuff, just for convenience's sake.

I feel like a total nag for asking that, and I apologize, but it takes a couple seconds, and it would be a nice little treat to be able to download a song, throw it into iTunes, and then have it immediately filed under what it should be.

bla bla bla.. yeah...

the GbV mp3s sound fantastic, I'm excited to get that record. gatefold again, I hope?

[Patrick]

Good point tino - we'll make sure that the ID is added correctly in future. Gatefold on GBV? Can't remember. I'll ask Mark Ohe to reply.

tino...

the "earthquake glue" album will not have a gatefold jacket. instead it will have a full-color dustsleeve; brought to you by burning lizard creations. you'll dig it...it's hot.
