Definitely gonna try and get tickets for the morning show.
Thereâs a link (here) right at the bottom of the store to sign up for presale without having to pre-order!
Signed up for the pre-sale and will probably try for 22nd.
They did all arenas last time, so I didnât bother. Will be great to finally catch a VW show if I get lucky
Final cover has an an orange strip! And the globe is focused on the Atlantic.
Iâm certainly not going to forget what label Vampire Weekend are on anytime soon. If Iâd had offers from every major I would have got Sony to put me on Columbia, with their much nicer logo:
Itâs a hideous album cover - wonder if Sony are bunging them some extra cash for the logo being there. If so, fair play.
Unbelievably bad. Thought it was a joke at first.
Oh wow, thatâs hilarious
Got Modern Vampires on for the first time in aaaaages, what a lovely lovely record.
Just been listening to loads of time crisis and grateful dead. Cheers Ezra
Did anyone get a confirmation email yet for the presale? Or do we think theyâll be sent out after 5?
Am very keen for this, gonna try and mobilise the troops.
Itâll be after that time.
Not yet! Quite looking forward to being caffeinated for the Saturday morning show.
Seems that if youâve signed up by 5pm today youâll get a code to try the presale tomorrow morning:

Any thoughts on the latest tracks?
Loved Big Blue immediately, whilst Sunflowerâs taking a bit longer to click (but then so did Ya Hey). That âStrange thought upon a pillowâ bridge section is so strong that I find itâs a drag when it goes back to the main scat part.
Those were my thoughts exactly. I wish Big Blue was longer. I feel there was potential to have an extra verse and a mournful slide guitar solo in there or something. Yeah the rhythm guitar during the âStrange thought upon a pillowâ bit is really cool and grooves really nicely, but then it goes back to the stiff and silly scat singing bit. Like⌠I know with VW you expect a bit of playfulness verging on silliness, but man⌠imagine that song live with the crowd scat singing that run of notes
Got mine
Got mine too. Canât wriggle out of work on Saturday so shall try for Friday night. Good luck!
Check your Junk folders if youâre still waiting for your code, becasue that where mine ended up.
I havenât got mine yet. Pre-ordered the album from the website and have checked my junk mail. Letâs hope it turns up
PM on Radio 4 have just been using Harmony Hall to soundtrack a roundup of the last day in Parliament. Might have to write in to Time Crisis about this.
Some pals have agreed to help me try and get tickets. Should I give them all my Ticketmaster log in? Does that cause any issues? Seems like the best approach to me.
I assume the name of the booker will be important and they might be quite strict on it given how few there are.
