I am a fan on DCFC but I haven't bought this album yet for 1 reason. It's overpriced! I only went to Easy Street, where it's something like $15 (and that's the SALE price). Sonic Boom has it online for the same price. Now I don't blame the record stores, because if I remember correctly when Transatlanticism and Photo album and all the ones previous to that came out they were a much more reasonable price, probably something closer to $10.
It's not that I can't afford a $15 cd, but I choose not to pay that much on principle. It feels like I'm just giving that extra $5 straight to Atlantic records.
I feel even better about not having the record now that it sounds like it's just pretty good, not great. Does anyone else feel this way? Am I the only one who has issues shelling out $15 for a cd that's just a new release and not an import or something hard to find?
Maybe they'll have them for sale at Sasquatch for a reasonable price and I can pick one up there.
I agree about Cath though, I have that downloaded from the Daytrotter session and that's a nice song.
