Maybe they should just not tour at all? Perhaps MAv and The Hip should cut us off completely? It seems that once we were given a little more insight and advanced notice of what's to come, we started wanting even more, and stopped being thankful for what we get. Sure, it's good business to be accessible but it's not a necessity. I like it the way it is.
And playing a small venue multiple nights in four of the largest markets in the country is also good business... making lots of fans happy in the process.

Lots of fans happy? I wouldn't use the word "lots" but I understand what you're saying. They haven't cut off their fans, they just take forever to tour and get their cd out. Neil Young recorded a cd, mixed it, and had it out to the public in about three weeks.
