February 8th will see the release of Said The Whale’s sixth full-length album in the form of Cascadia and you can check out pre-order options here.
But if you are like me, and prefer to have a listen before you buy, we have some good news. Said The Whale have given us permission to have a virtual online private listening party*, and you are invited to join us. Let us know in the comments what day and time would be best for you and we will try to work out when we can all meet up on discord or google hangouts to share this experience.
*Thank you Morgana.
And if you are here for the Podcast (why!?) I will try and find where the Raccoon is and get it off him so I can post it tomorrow.
Hello
Hi! A listening party will be fun. I am not sure when the best time for it would be. On the weekend or an evening might work best for me but I can try to make a week day work.
Thanks morgana and Garf for setting this up.
The problem is that we have to take multiple time zones into account.
I was thinking this weekend as to make it easier to cover the 8 hour difference between PST and GMT
I could just put a mark in the diary for say 1pm PST on Sunday as a starting point to discuss for and against
I like that.
As an “adult” is it ok for me to have (a lot of) apple strudel for dinner?
Sure why not. You get to decide what you put in your body.
Apple is in fruits and veggies. Good crust full of fine English flour. A little lard from good English pigs. Oh, and I forgot that other vegan treat, SUGAR!
All nutritious.
I want a t-shirt that reads (thx Library Voices):
SUGAR:
VEGAN
AS FUCK
In large, friendly, yellow letters.
haha! Love it Benoit.
(That bright green L.V. shirt I have, and which says Pop As Fuck about them, still has the friendliest letters I’ve ever seen. White, then yellow, in (at least) quadruple bold, fat ‘n friendly. Reminded me of Hitchiker’s Guide, then, and still.)
I remember the shirts but remember nothing about the font. hehe
It’s mostly that they’re sooooo fat, and also (runs and checks) they end up contiguous, barely touching. Being quadruple bold, all roundy etc. they are very friendly. But enough description of typefaces…
Out tobogganing. The deep freeze has broken.
so which one of us is mocking this shirt up?
Have fun tobogganing!
Shoot, I will be in Vancouver with no wifi that weekend. What about Friday the 18 when everyone is off work but not too late for @grafielduk’s timezone?
Who am I on my phone?
AHA@
Hi CDNz1! Haha!
The album is out on Feb 8th though. We should do this ahead of the release date.
@darbar, agreed. I was hoping for this coming Friday evening.
Friday also works for me, but I didn’t want to overshadow playlist day
Friday evening works for me. I wouldn’t worry about the playlist. I will post it and people can listen whenever.
Thanks for being flexible peeps.
Now to figure out the time on Friday…
my schedule is totally open on Friday.
what time are you home from work @darbar?
After 5pm CT, is my request.
as long as it is before 4pm PST (midnight here)

does this help?
I was using timeanddate.com
I am at GMT -6 currently.
I usually have a good grip on the time differences between here and there, but I am never quite sure what time zone Sask is in
I believe I am GMT -8 … daylight savings time play into this?
That gives us a very narrow window but we can manage.
Sask is the same as MB in the winter and the same as AB in summer.
There is 2 hours between PST and CST. So after 5 CST and before 4 PST gives us about 45 min. Ha!
only the southern hemisphere is using DLST at the moment
I am close to having this streaming thing working
I can listen to it any time and we can always have more than one party
Whoa! Thanks Candy, I was struggling with that. I will blame the concussion …
Can either of you tell if it is a single play link we were sent?
I would like to gather some friends in person on Feb 1 as well.
If we do 3:15 PST we should be good. That’s 5:15 CST and 6:15 EST.
It wouldn’t be a single play morgana.
Collio!
I was thinking of private messaging a few other R3ers. I am sure if they knew they would like to join in. Who would you like to invite?
It is a link to a soundcloud album that is set to private
I started typing a list of names then though again
….
maybe just share the link to OurBasement on R3 Facebook group Friday morning?
or on our own FB feeds?
I do know that I have to head out now.
I am thinking the OurBasement FB page again Friday and maybe the R3 group on there as well.
Cya later!
I wonder if it is worth mentioning the planned time to the band, see if they would like to join us
oh and I have been working on our discord server if anyone would like to have a look (not much to see) https://discord.gg/TZXQXBR
Can always mention it to them.
I’ll mention it to Morgana as she has been the point of contact so far
I’m going to get an early night, I still have to find the podcast so I can post it tomorrow
Night Garf!
