a few months ago, people across the country received an ominous carboard postcard

no return address, just a perforated GJ and a weird bunch of numbers

i was luck y enough to get one, although i had no idea what it meant. a quick search of the Glassjaw fan forum (yes, i am nerdy enough to lurk that about twice a month) came up that others had gotten one as well, and it seemed that it was people who had ordered stuff off of Merch Direct (Beck’s company), and people were thinking maybe the numbers were some sort of download code.

a few months passed, and weird things started to pop up. videos of new songs, announcing new shows, and then via the band’s twitter, a link to order a new 7″. turns out, that 7″ would multiply five times by the year’s end.

the funny thing about the 7″ records is that they need a special plastic adapter, called a GJ. there is a hole cut out of the center of the record in the shape of the band’s logo, and you buy one (or a set of three) plastic adapters that fit into them to be played on your turntable. the quantities of the 7″s were limited, and are already going for 25-100+ dollars on ebay.

at first, i thought that the title of the compilation of all 5 new songs was a bootleg/fan name, because there is already a bootleg of a 7″ with that title, so i went through the trouble of changing all the tags etc and uploading them to mediafire. turns out, the ep is in itunes and amazon as OUR COLOR GREEN.

the band played a show on new years day in new york, and they played four new songs, giving people hope of a new album. i wouldnt hold my breath though, as NATURAL BORN FARMER has been played live since 2002, and is just now seeing the light of day.

anyway, here is a mediafire link to Our Color Green. all of the new songs are amazing, and i cant wait to see them live soon.
