I'll be in my bunk. With headphones.

annathepiperIt is probably deeply appropriate that Great Big Sea's latest, Fortune's Favour, was waiting for me in the mailbox when I came home tonight from eating sushi--though perhaps not quite as deeply appropriate as it would have been had I done this when I got The Hard and the Easy. ;)
Only a day late, which doesn't surprise me, given that this thing was coming here all the way from the other side of Canada. That it's the very simple thin cardboard packaging, without a jewel case, doesn't surprise me either. I bet that it'd be in a jewel case if I bought it in a store. Also not surprising that I see "Russell" in the list of people being thanked in the liner notes, yay! It seems that the lovely and talented Mr. Crowe contributed some songwriting help on one of these songs, as well as on one of the extra tracks that the folks at greatbigsea.com were handing out.
What is surprising is that there's a DVD with this thing! Maybe it's got the same "making of" videos that are now posted up on the site? Clearly this will require investigation, as soon as I'm done listening to the actual songs. A review will of course be forthcoming!
So y'all pardon me, I need to go wine and dine this lovely thing for a while. <3

Date: 2008-06-27 05:45 am (UTC)I noted today that there was NO SIGN of Fortune's Favour in the music section at Barnes and Noble, and apparently it's not hitting Amazon until July 8th... to wit, buh? I also noted that the greatbigsea.com news list said something about a presale a US-based comics store is having for the album, and they aren't getting it until the 8th either.
Methinks the States got a delayed release date again. Sniff. But only a little sniff, since my album did get here!
