Sometimes an artist makes a record, then decides not to release it. Neil Young and Prince are two artists who famously did that multiple times. Todd Snider is another artist who has done it, putting three albums on the shelf in a career now spanning three decades. While Snider may not be as well known as Young or Prince, he is just as committed to his art, and his decisions to shelve those three records were artistic ones. But now Snider has decided to take one of those albums off the shelf. Sixteen years after it was recorded, Crank It, We’re Doomed will finally get its release via Aimless Records. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aimless Records","offers":[{"title":"Yellow LP","offer_id":50395745714507,"sku":"2150827","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50395746533707,"sku":"2150829","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50395745124683,"sku":"2150816","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_4617d1f3_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726471126"},{"product_id":"first-agnostic-church-of-hope-and-wonder","title":"First Agnostic Church of Hope and Wonder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA folk record with funk elements and street singer elements and psychedelic elements.

I made up “Sail On, My Friend,” then the touring stopped, and so I started a Sunday morning show. Viewers started jokingly referring to it as a church and to me as a reverend. I’ve only reverend-ed twice. But I have the license so in my mind this opened me up to play bossy kinds of songs... then John Prine passed away, and I made up a song for him [\"Handsome John\"].”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“By the end of it I started thinking I could make it kinda like the red headed stranger or something where it’s a sunday service at the first agnostic church of hope and wonder, and the preacher is full of shit, and when everyone starts to realize it he asks god to help and god does.

Because turntables had not yet made their comeback, \u003ci\u003eEast Nashville Skyline\u003c\/i\u003e was not issued on vinyl when it was first released in 2004, so to honour the fifteenth anniversary of the album, Snider’s Aimless Records drop a vinyl version. Twelve songs made the final cut for the album, including three covers. The nine Snider originals included some his most memorable compositions: \u003ci\u003ePlay a Train Song, The Ballad of The Kingsmen, Nashville\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eConservative Christian, Right-Wing Republican, Straight, White, American Males\u003c\/i\u003e.
