jumbled thoughts

important things that were discussed in the chris walla live chat spectacular earlier this afternoon:

1. there will most likely not be a vinyl pressing offield manual, which sucks.
2. if you want the keys and codes EP on vinyl, go get it. they aren’t planning on repressing it even though it’s out of 500.
3. the older death cab for cutie albums really will be repressed, he promises. it’s in the works. (let’s be real, the longer this takes, the more time and effort we know is going into it and we don’t have to worry about a crappy repressing. no one wants that.)
4. no, he’s really not producing anything on the new tegan and sara album. yes, this is sad. but he has heard things and he’s pretty stoked on it.
5. he’s recording the solo album at the end of the year and rebuilding hall of justice in the process. 
6. after this tour, summer festivals and other summer shows, there will be a break from death cab for cutie for a little while. 
7. he’s really done with twitter, y’all. yes, no more @jumex. it’s been nuked. we are all sad to see it go.
8. jason mcgerr is a bad ass.
9. are you listening to the head and the heart, pickwick, bryan john appleby, or campfire OK yet, because you should. the seattle scene is doing AMAZING things right now. seriously.
10. oh and jack white is apparently a total “sweetheart.” dude has nothing but love and respect for him.  

(you’re welcome for asking 1+2, oh, and my face was five kinds of red for a little bit.)

ps. his hair cut is SO DAPPER
