2010, so hard young boy,
marble memo xtras is a collection of all the demos and unreleased takes and versions of songs from the marble memo recording sessions, and a couple of live versions after the fact. recorded in the summer and fall of 2009 (live stuff recorded spring 2010). most instruments and singing by ben, a little bit by jimmy, matt, jamie, and michael.
i can't give marble memo away for free, i wish i could. but it was released on a real record label (moon jaw) and people need to get paid. since moon jaw is now defunct, it is a little tricky finding marble memo. you can find it by searching on google. perhaps you can still buy it on the best buy or wal-mart website (although there's way better people to buy it from). or you can find us at a show in bloomington or on tour. we still have lots and lots of copies...
