I got Acts on vinyl. Bought it from PJ´s site. And Ghost Riding on Cd, i found it on Tower Records on Tokyo. They have a whole section for them, i took a pic and sent it to Stuverud.

it's a shame joseph arthur went in 110% on the covid anti-vax route and seemingly squandered any potential future for this band. both their albums i feel are in the top tier of pearl jam related side projects. nyc freaks is still a fucking jam.

anyone here who pays attention to these kinds of things know if the 'theme from rndm gong' that was a bonus track on the acts vinyl ever get a higher quality digital release than a 320kbps mp3?

I had no idea about his anti-vax stuff. I had the sense their future was nil because of his drug use? Yeah

Those two records are great! I love the experimentation on the second one and the playfulness of the first. I'm following Joseph Arthur on socials, it's like watching a car crash or something. He's gone mad. Not only the anti-vax stuff also NFT's and his 'poetry'..

I followed Joseph on instagram and the guy fed me up with his anti vax, anti mask, freedom obsession. I get it, you dont like that stuff, whatever dude just move on and continue your life.

Stuverud made a post about it too, so im confident this band wont happen again, which is sad because their two albums are magic to me.

Yeah that’s pretty surprising.

he is just obsessed with the subject. Its basically all he post about.

What a shame. Perhaps Jeff will swap him out for Dug Pinnick again? Quattro Mts?

Covid has melted peoples brains. On all sides. I’m so fucking over it

yeah, true. I totally get it if you lost someone for example. Or if you had it. But a lot of these examples are people who were and are just fine.

One of Joseph Arthur's Tweets floated across my timeline and I was going to come here to post something like 'oh, I see this guy is a nut now' but it appears this is not news.

Yeah, it's sad. The only theory he's proving is the The Dunning–Kruger effect.......

he lost it yeah

a shame because this band was awesome

In a since deleted post on his FB I remember Richard Stuverud saying something that none of this surprises him and that the last RNDM tour was completely crazy. He did blame a bandmember for it and it wasn't Jeff...

This tour was pre-covid. So who knows what's he referring to. Drugs? Conspiracies? Dating a teenager? Joseph Arthur hasn't been well in a while now and it's sad.
