Trying to imagine a WAS tune with a cello is warping my brain and I am *giddy* with anticipation.

So happy to have this. The promise of downloads AND new music on the horizon is very exciting. Great idea to mine the archives too. Looking forward to seeing what else you manage to dig up.

I think that guy’s flute is too big. The noise will be too wide to fit on the song. Songs are 3ft wide, maximum.

Maybe the iPhone can record extra bandwidth?

A new record, how exciting!

Are we still getting BTM deluxe on streaming platforms?

Maaaaaaaaybe but probably not. We're getting close enough to releasing new music that we don't want to compete with ourselves on our streaming profiles ––> they treat newly-uploaded tunes (Dig Dug and Best Behavior would have to be added) and albums, even if you mark them as hailing from the past, as new releases, which can dampen the impact of actual new music when we add it in the coming months. Likely we will need to wait for a more isolated moment in our release schedule, like what "TV en Français, 10th Ann." enjoyed middle of last year, before uploading new BTM content.

Update: I just made an "alt" version of BTM Deluxe and put it up as a playlist on Spotify — no "Dig Dug" or "Best Behavior," since they've never been uploaded to streamers, but I subbed in "Dance Off" and remixes of "Chick Lit" and "Dinosaurs."

Let me know if anyone cares that this isn't on Apple Music, Tidal, or Deezer — if so, I will attempt to right that wrong.

This is funnier than anything I've read by any comedian or comedy writer in a long, long while. Goddamn.
