I love me some b-sides too, Mark! :)

The key advantage to singles in cassette and CD form used to be the B-side alternate versions of songs you could only get packaged in that way. I remember so many bands where I bought a stupid single of an album track I already had because the alternate B-side was endlessly more legit/raw than what was on the album. Lots of bands are getting this right to us fans now and iTunes is actually not terrible for this either.

That Faster the Treadmill mash-up is slamming.

Finally got a chance to listen in the car. Enjoyed thoroughly! And indeed the album art is great.

Thanks, Gareth. I needed that. :)

True, Matt, but most of our fellows don't ever pick a particular album single to use as a touchstone for new listeners. And I really think they should.

Glad you like it, Shael. Dave really went above and beyond. He's even got a nice breakdown of the design process at his blog.

Lemme know what you think, Church.

iTunes has, in a backdoor way, re-popularized the concept of the single. The studios still resist, of course, but when haven't they?

Nice idea, can't wait to give a listen.

Awesome album art! Awesome assonance!

I'll need to check this out when I get home, but I'm already in love with the idea.

Also, the single isn't fully dead. The indiepop scene is still head over heals in love with the idea of releasing stuff on 7" singles, much of it exclusive, non-album stuff.
