The Original Cowboy

So I'm sure all of you know by now, Fat Wreck Chords is going to be issuing 'The Original Cowboy'. These are the demo versions of the songs, that have never been heard before. It goes on sale July 7th...buy it at Fat or at Interpunk.

Yup.. but we hadn't had "news" in a while.

i hate people that use unnecessary commas

How surprising.

haha. oh daaann

I hate annoying 16 year olds.

oh nice reply

This thread could use a tall glass of neutrality.

is this going to be a limited pressing?

Has this leaked yet?

yup

Good album. I actually like the composition more than As the Eternal Cowboy. Plus, the guitars sound fuller and the drums sound better. A bit more "thump!" and a lot less "thwack!"

Oh, Warren. You and your disco beats.

Remember to purchase it once it comes out, you freeloading jerks.

I don't understand what everyone means when they mention "disco beats." Good thing I'm not a drummer and know nothing about it, because they always sounded fine to me (minus the loud production on New Wave).

They sound fine... just kinda don't mesh with AM!'s style IMO, which is likely another reason why he left.

Basically, he plays that high-hat like a motherfuckers, sometimes throughout the whole song.

Usually, when someone mentions "disco beats", they're referring to playing the hi hat only on the off beats. Opening and closing the hi hats while hitting on the "and" of every beat, and still playing the snare on two and four. Or, playing sixteenths on the hi hat.

This.

Despite the avatar of me playing bass, which I do, I'm a drummer, have been for 11 years, and was before I learned bass, heh.

Just listening to the first track, and I can already confidently say I enjoy it way, way more than what was already released.

As Caleb mentioned, way more "thump".

Awesome.

Anyone get there vinyl from Fat yet?

Not me, but your post made me run downstairs to check my doorstep.

i don't think they've even sent them out yet

If you pre-order from Fat you usually get things on or before the day it appears in stores.

welp maybe we'll all get them tomorrow
