While you wait for them to come back to your town, we've provided some video downloads from the 2006-07-13 show in Westbury, NY, to hold you over. Thanks to Tan Nguyen for the recordings! <discuss it> June 26, 2006 -- A new Toad show has surfaced on DVD. It's the 1991-12-20 performance at Mannequins in Bakersfield, CA. We're testing a new torrent tracker. If all goes well, you can download the show mininova.org. We've never used that tracker before, so wish us luck! UPDATE 2006-07-19: The torrent went very well; however, since there have been no leechers for several days, we will no longer be seeding. To those who downloaded the DVD: Enjoy! <discuss it> June 26, 2006 -- Regretfully, the tracker on which the music video DVD torrent was running (see May 25 blurb below) was struck down shortly after its beginning. Instead of re-seeding the DVD, we have uploaded VCD versions on the videos page. Check them out! <discuss it> May 25, 2006 -- A DVD of six Toad and Glen music videos is now available for torrenting via the Pirate Bay. For those of you who don't know, a "torrent" is a type of download over the internet. Please visit BitTorrent.com for more info. The six music videos are: Good Intentions * Something's Always Wrong * Fall Down * Come Down * Brain Trust Kid * Everything But You UPDATE: The PirateBay, due to interference from the Swedish police, have removed the torrent permanently; the videos can no longer be downloaded. Sorry for any inconvenience. <discuss it> May 14, 2006 -- After 3 years, over 2.2 terabytes of downloads, and over 150,000 hits, we've switched our provider for the site.  That required a massive migration of date and reorganizing ComeBackDownload.com.  As such, you may find some things missing--if so, let us know.  You may also find some new content that got lost in the shuffle over the last couple years. April 29, 2006 -- Mr. Lemons shipped Thursday, and by Friday had begun to arrive at fans' doors. Since everyone's going to be buzzing about this, we here at ComeBackDownload.com have written up a brief song-by-song review of the new disc.

One of the tracks he co-wrote is sung by Darius Rucker, the frontman to Hootie and the Blowfish and an old friend of Toad. Check out the official site for more info. You can also hear several of the songs on the movie's myspace page. Thanks to Joel for the heads up! <discuss it> April 14, 2006 -- It's Good Friday, everyone, and do you know what that means? More Glen news! Mr. Lemons is available for pre-order, and the first 2,000 orders will be signed by the very fellow who sings the songs. Rumor has it Unlucky 7 may come free with the Mr. Lemons pre-orders, but who knows if that's true? In other news, three new songs (two originals, one cover) from Mr. Lemons are available on Glen's MySpace page. Needless to say, they all sound fantastic! To anyone worried about Glen covering a Huey Lewis song, be assured he makes it his own. Reports from listeners are beginning to come in, as a matter of fact, and so far everyone agrees Mr. Lemons is amazing! It has an interesting feel to it, almost like the Tornillo outtakes. It's certainly much different from Winter Pays For Summer or Abulum. We're all going to have to get it right away, come May 2! <discuss it> March 04, 2006 -- As of a couple days ago, Glen's Winter Pays For Summer outtakes collection, called Unlucky 7, has been released. Unfortunately, it is presently available for purchase only at his solo shows. Don't worry, though, because Glen's going to sell it at his website in just a few days--probably not more than a week. In the mean time, just be patient. Don't ask for illegal copies or mp3s here or elsewhere. It will be available 100% legally very soon. Interestingly enough, Glen and his wife Laurel have been printing and cutting inserts, and stuffing them into jewel boxes all by hand. So when you buy Unlucky 7, you'll be buying a truly home made effort. Here's the tracklist: The Hole (currently available through Napster, for a charge) * Revelator (currently available on Glen's MySpace page) * Brain Trust Kid (currently available on the videos page of this site * Chapel Perilous (previously available on a various artists sampler; no longer available except on Lucky 7) * Black Dog Beside Me (currently available on Glen's MySpace page) * Let's Ruin Everything Tonight (previously unreleased) * The Innocent (previously unreleased). Please note that older studio versions of "The Hole" and "Chapel Perilous" are currently available on the mp3s page and live recordings of "Let's Ruin Everything Tonight" and "The Innocent" are available on the GPUSC. <discuss it> February 24, 2006 -- An radio station webcast of Glen's 2001-05-20 show has been added to the downloads page. Thanks to Chuck for taping and uploading it! <discuss it> February 22, 2006 -- Glen's myspace page is featuring a new song called "Black Dog Beside Me." This Winter Pays For Summer outtake, unlike the previous myspace release, is a Glen original, and may be released on a 7-track outtakes compilation. If true, these seven may include "Chapel Perilous," "The Revelator," "Black Dog Beside Me," "Always Returning," "The Hole," "Better Off Here" and possibly an alternate version of "Courage." Whatever the future holds, though, go check out "Black Dog" right now! <discuss it> February 22, 2006 -- Glen's new album will be called Mr. Lemons (reportedly after a deceased cat), released to retail stores on May 2, 2006.

However, three of the four guys will be performing together during Glen's summer tour. Glen will definitely be there, obviously, but we don't know which of the other three members will be sitting out. They will only perform together a few times, and as of right now we don't know the dates or venues. Rock on, guys! <discuss it> February 17, 2006 -- Two new performances have been added to the downloads page: Toad's 1997-08-30 show (which is an outstanding pre-FM source), and Glen's 2003-07-02 show (which includes the best known version of "Let's Ruin Everything Tonight."
