Am I the only Sloan fan remaining on here? lol

Double Cross comes out may 10th.
It leaked a couple weeks ago....
Seriously?? Any idea where i could get my hands on a virtual copy? lol
It's on both What.cd and Waffles.fm.
If I had heard this album, I would maybe say 'Traces' is one of the best Sloan tunes in their catalog.

This is one of my summer albums I think. Absolutely love it.
Saw Sloan last night and they were fantastic. I've seen them twice before in the 90's and both times were lackluster. Last night they were doing everything right and they completely redeemed themselves with me.
Free bootleg from Sloan for 24 hours.... <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sloanmusic.com">www.sloanmusic.com</a><!-- w -->
I'm kinda disappointed that it's an audience recording (albeit a very good one). That green marble vinyl is really cool though. With only 300 copies available, I'm not surprised it's sold out already. That was quick.

I think that was the whole point:

"See, I’ve always been a big fan of the live bootleg LPs that began to appear in hip underground record stores in the 1970’s and into the 1980’s. So, here's our very own (legal) tribute to that tradition. Packaged in a heavy duty white jacket, it comes with hand numbered, risographed wrap around outer sleeve, photocopied insert and pressed onto luminous green marbled vinyl!

To further continue with the bootleg custom, the original recording was captured via cassette by a fan in the audience back in Winnipeg, 1993. The results are a bit rough at the edges for sure, but kind of exciting and also finds our band at a point in our career where we were finishing a year or more of touring behind our first LP, Smeared, yet beginning to road test some songs that would wind up on Twice Removed. Early versions of Shame Shame and Worried Now appear with different musical bridges that would not be ironed out until a few months later. We even began the show with an Eric’s Trip cover! I found it to be an interesting time capsule (Patrick turns 24!) and hope you all think so too."

The demand for the limited vinyl crashed their website for 6 hours
