Things that are making me sad as of late...

Update to post below:

It's confirmed that they are breaking up.  However, they have releasing an EP of covers with Wonderwall's "Oasis", Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy", & the hymn "How Great Thou Art".  You can get details (& buy & download the EP) here:

In contrast to the last post..:
It seems that I spoke too soon about This Beautiful Republic.  They posted this late last night:
"All good things come to an end.
This is the end.

Oh well...  but maybe they'll be like Falling Up? (whom, if you don't know, broke up Jan. 2010 but are now back together making a new [independent] album...)   ...
