Any updates on the postal kits?
Creator Brian Dillard on July 6, 2011
An update would be nice. You offered to bring kits to your shows but those of us not in the bay area get nothing? It has been over a month. No replies to my emails and no promissed kit either. :-(
Creator My First Earthquake on May 12, 2011
The MP3s should have the lyrics included. If you're in iTunes, right-click the song to Get Info to show the lyrics. If you want an app to display lyrics, here's a couple for the Mac:

If a tech-savvy Windows users has a suggestion for lyrics viewing, let us us know.
Once things calm down a bit, we hope to pull together some album extras, which would include a lyrics booklet in PDF form. Until then, "Patience is a curfew and my egg timer’s dinged done." :-)

Creator Edward Cureton on May 12, 2011
Loving the new album. My favorite track is "Ok K" with the second being "Whitewalled" It was a bit more electronic than I imagined which made me happy...synths and Rebecca's voice go great together.
Is there any way backers could get a posting of the lyrics?
Thanks for being awesome!
Creator Edward Cureton on May 2, 2011
Anxiously awaiting the new album! The preview track is making me want to hear more!
Has anyone gotten their goodie bags yet?
Creator merry berger on January 8, 2011
we'reout in the boonies with an extremely frustratingly slow computer... so we can't see any of your videos until we get to ocala and a starbucks.. but just being in the inner circle and being able to" follow" you all is wonderful!!!!

I can't wait to hear the new album! /double thumbs up
Creator Edward Cureton on September 27, 2010
I was a bit late to the craze. I only saw this posted today...I see you've reached the goal but I wanted to show my support and donated anyway! I love your approach to the creation of this new album. The connection between artist and audience is strengthened 10fold. Thanks for your great work!
Creator James on September 26, 2010
So you're over your goal! Does that mean you can make longer album? Money for a string quartet? Guest vocals by a d-list celebrity? (MFE featuring The Situation) the possibilities are endless!
Creator Andy Marczak on September 25, 2010
congratulations - this could be the beginning of something special...
Creator Eric K. on September 25, 2010
ZOMG, we made it!

Hey, hey, you did it! And with a February-style month to spare! Crazy! I'm more of a Beckies fan myself, but definitely looking forward to this. :)

Creator Andy Marczak on September 23, 2010
after witnessing so many near misses and what-could-have-beens on Sellaband, this is a breath of fresh air.
Good Luck to you from the UK.
Creator Eric K. on September 22, 2010
As a collegiate individual, my pledging is rather limited, but I was happy to help as I could. On another note, I am still working on your wikipedia article, but was dramatically slowed down by both wrist issues and classes. I'm impressed you guys did not sell out. You guys are awesome. Pull out all the stops with the next album :)!
Creator Dylan Wakser on September 22, 2010
you guys should do shows in texas
Creator My First Earthquake on September 22, 2010
This pledging is knocking our socks off and our feet smell like roses! This is amazing! Yes! We plan to 1) kick it like robots 2) make an awesome album while not selling out and then 3) give it to all you beautiful people! Thank you so so much!
Creator Conan Neutron on September 22, 2010
