 Post subject: sweet tour swagPosted: Fri Jul 09, 2010 4:29 pm 
So, I know that most other people had this stuff already but I super psyched to now be the proud owner of 1 copy of: - Marvelous Things EP - Laughing City EP both still in the original shrink wrap. The Laughing City EP even had a sticker on it saying the band was currently on tour with Coldplay 
Anyway, I'm pumped because these things were released before I became a fan. By the time I started seeing shows in high school, they had stopped carrying those EPs around on tour. I'm debating whether I should open them or not... I'm glad they found copies to sell on tour in the absence of LP3 _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |

I've got both a Laughing City EP, and a Room Noises vinyl still in the shrink wrap, and plan to keep them that way!  And that 'on tour with COLDPLAY this summer' sticker is really cool! I just wouldn't want to ruin it! _________________ Mike=] |

And (last I checked) you can get those tracks digitally on SYP, so it's not like I can't hear them. Part of me is just itching to inspect every inch of them though  _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |

FYI, that's not SWAG (stuff we all get), it's merch (stuff we have to pay for) But, congrats! I love my Marvy Things and Laughing City EPs. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

When I bought the Laughing City EP six years ago, it had the Coldplay sticker on it too. I've always regretted throwing that wrapper away. I say open your copy, but keep the sticker. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

But, congrats! I love my Marvy Things and Laughing City EPs. How do you know I didn't just steal it? 
just kidding. I never knew swag stood for that. Thanks for the correction, I learn something new everday. _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |

I got in the habit of using my finger nail to cut the the side of the shrink wrap where the cd comes out, so my Eps (both bought in 03- early 04' still have the stickers and all that stuff on them). But I'm neurotic and a little OCD, cause for years, I got sick of having all that celefane from opening tapes and cds filling the trash when I got them so I started finding ways to cut or unseal the celefane on the cds so I could slie the jewel cases back in the plastic. I managed to accumulate 600-800 cds over that time and 60% still have the plastic still on them when I shelved them. I would take it off to play them and then put it back on. My friends thought I hadn't opened them, and I would explain that I was trying to not throw away the plastic (and teach myself patience). They just thought I was crazy, but they never told me. I would tell them it would be even more neurotic/ OCD to sit there and take all the plastic off at some point. To this day, I still have to think about it when opening a new cd. Thankfully I don't get them that often anymore. Now we can reserve Our neurosis for Itunes Art and playlists  _________________ yup, that's my name.

Maybe you can find the same photos elsewhere, but the inner pix of both EPs are pretty cool, I particularly like the inside of 'Marvelous Things' - enigmatic pose & even a little spooky.
While I'm on it, that is Stacy on the cover right? She just looks a little...I don't know...elongated. Is that street of any significance, like their neighborhood? _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

well, I finally did it. I opened the EPs and kept the Coldplay sticker for safe keeping. _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |
