ONE green copy in the U.S. Matador online store; also just one in the UK store). My megatonic megabundle (CD plus tee plus mug plus postcard set plus enamel pin plus matchbox — I kid you not) hasn't shown up yet, probably due to them silly storms.
Now, I did get the mp3s today. Haven't had a chance to listen to jack squat yet, but I was surprised by the metadata on these files. Wikipedia says everything's written by "Spoon" and I wonder whether that's how the credits appear on the official artwork. The tags indicate something else: five songs written by Daniel alone, one by Fischel/Daniel, and four songs co-written by Daniel and cats who are not bandmembers at all (three in total: Sean Dineen, Laura Pergolizzi and Ted Taforo). Also, that's Sharon Van Etten on "First Caress"!
Finally, it was only today that I found out Eric Harvey is no longer in the group.
