I was dreaming about some random shit last night and I some how heard a song with the word 'itchy' in it ... I just want that song to be released to find out if I'm subconsciously psychic.

What did you hear from the gophers and what did you do with the strawberries?

He doesn't like to talk about the strawberry incident. Likes to keep it on the down low.

Assuming Raine doesn't have the final word, I'll believe you. If he does... I'll see it in November.

Trustworthy · Post by **Trustworthy** » 8/2/2010, 12:08 pm

ok, come back in November and have a look

woohooo

woohoo!

Hell yeah!

If that's the album cover, I really like it!

As for my initial reaction to Bury Me With a Gun, I don't dislike (but I'll have to get used to) the electric guitar in the verses, but the chorus is great. Can't wait for the full thing, along with the other songs!

Question though: Does this mean he won't be releasing a new song every few weeks like he said before, or will it just be in the snippet manner like for Burn Burn?

The song sounds awesome, a lot different then the first solo.

I really like the images on the site, and the song clip sounds pretty good, this could be an interesting record!

I'm sad to see the words "Only on iTunes" though. I don't like that they force you into a proprietary file format that's not equivalent quality to a CD and is not future-proof. I hope it comes out on CD at a later date...

But if you're doing digital only, I wish Coalition would at least consider using a service like Bandcamp.com that offers a broad range of file formats to download that meet everyone's interests (from CD-equivalent FLAC to the MP3 and iTunes formats).

Trustworthy · Post by **Trustworthy** » 8/4/2010, 11:36 am

new tunes will be released in this manner over the coming months - snippets on site - itunes downloads for the full versions

that's the way its gonna be all thew way up to the full album release - which is gonna blow your freaking minds

as for itunes just convert the files - http://www.convertitunestomp3.org - simple stuff

MindsOnLoan · Post by **MindsOnLoan** » 8/4/2010, 11:44 am

Someone's gonna have to Hub these songs, because according to his Facebook post, it's only available on iTunes for Canada.

And don't worry Trusty, I fully intend on buying the album when it's released.
