Thank you! I put Between Bodies under EPs, since the band refers to it as such. I thought the whole affair was a bit hit or miss, but I do enjoy the spacier parts of TWIABP's catalog so I liked it overall. Obviously I thought "Thanks" was a fantastic song, and I really liked the lyrics on "Space Exploration to Solve Earthly Crises" and "Shoppers Beef". I actually saw TWIABP twice this year, once in April and then again in September, which was the show I refer to on my list. Interestingly, they played Between Bodies material at the April show but not the September show. They didn't have Chris Z in September which didn't help, but they certainly could have played "Thanks" or "$100 Tip", which doesn't have him on them.

As for the Old Gray / TMP Split, I used to be a big fan of Old Gray but I'm just not into them anymore. I liked their half of the split but again, I just couldn't get into it. I liked TMP's half of course. What did you think of TMP's album? I liked a few songs off it but for whatever reason it just didn't stick with me. Maybe it was the cleaned up production?
