      2 more backers, 150 less. i agree it's a wait because the album is already out. but you can listen to it on http://www.mbvmusic.com/2010/08/13/listenmbv-someone-still-loves-you-boris-yeltsin-let-it-sway/28270 , there is no reason to back out unless it's due to finance issues. you don't want to break the bands bank do you. lets see this over the 5,000 mark soon.

      Holy crap, did your tally shrink? Are your backers "unbacking" with seven days left. It is not over yet! Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! I think everyone should add ten dollars to their donation, so the band can continue to stamp out fascism wherever their van might take them.

      if you get a van that's color is remotely close to red, you should name it "big red machine."

      Maybe you should show your benefactors pictures of the $3800 van along with pictures of the van you really want. In that way, your kind, good-looking and intelligent fans will continue donating generously after you've reached your all too humble, unimposing (and perhaps underestimated) goal. I think lots of people still love you Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, but they are just waiting for their next paycheck.

      Good luck! You're going to need some money for shipping all that cool stuff too. Really wish I had the money for a photo or painting. I love those photos you took on your European tour a couple years ago.

      Wow! Thanks for all the support! We found a van for $3,800, but we're going to start looking for a better one. Something under 100,000 miles would be nice... We're going to start canvassing the classifieds this weekend.

      Maybe SSLYBY already found a van and they're just $3,800 short........anyways, good luck guys!

      Maybe you should raise the cap of your goal and get a better van, maybe one with brakes.

      Not that I could afford it, but what if you guys had one $500+ level pledge where the backer gets to name the van?

      Chris La Jaunie on July 28, 2010

      Beset of luck, guys. I hope, at $3,800, this van doesn't already have 98,000 miles on it. See you in NYC @ the Bowery.
