Tonight, Bliss & Paying What You Want

Let's skip the details, conversations, stats crunching, shady backroom deals, and dramatic hostage rescues that have gone into the decision and just leave you with the decision:

As of today, the download of Tonight is going back to name-your-own-price, including free. And just as good as that? So is Bliss!

Both albums will remain on the other online stores like iTunes and Amazon MP3 for whatever they're charging for it. But if you get it through music.the-positions.com, you can pay whatever you like.

One thing, though: if you download it for free, you can pay us back by telling your friends on Twitter or Facebook or your entire email address book or your Furries Anonymous "support group". It's a tiny, quick gesture, but it makes a big difference.

There when you need us (except when we're not),

Listening party this Friday

Hey, what are you doing on Friday? WRONG. You're coming to Marx Cafe in Mount Pleasant, where we'll be cozying up with the regulars at the monthly DJ night Taking The Piss to listen to our new album Tonight. Dig it hard:

Details & RSVP on Facebook

AND...we'll have vinyl copies of the album to sell. You may already have the mp3s, but what comfort will a digital album give on a lonely night? You might get some, but it won't be anything like the warmth you get from vinyl. Come on by to get your copy.

ALSO...we'll be DJing. Or at least providing some cuts for the DJs to spin.

We'd finish this off by telling you to rock it, but you won't even need to. We're taking care of that. Friday. See you there.

Happy Tonight New Release Day!

Feels like a holiday today, doesn't it? You're feeling that holiday tingle because you know that our new album Tonight has hit the stores. That's right: it's officially out today, so if you didn't get the chance to download it for free, you can go get it at iTunes, Amazon mp3 or Bandcamp.

But even if you can already have it, you can still help us out. Rate and/or review the album on iTunes or Amazon, share the album page with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or by email, and click the Facebook "recommend" button below the album cover on the home page if you haven't already. Click it, you fool! There's not much time!

Finally, we would be remiss to not give every thanks we can scrounge up for the people who chose to give us a little of their hard-earned money instead of downloading the album for free. We got nothin' but hearts for you, baby.
