TGP Leak

on Tuesday 19 August 2008 - 13:30:59 | by sinAcosB
For anyone who hasn't already heard, The Glass Passenger has indeed leaked. While there has been much discussion amongst members of the site on the ethics of downloading said leak, I would just like to request on behalf of the site's administration that regardless of your stance on downloading the album early that no one upload the leak or post a link to download it on this site. Doing so can get the site (or even you, the poster) in legal trouble. I ask that anyone who has posted a download delete it now or I will delete it when I see it. If anyone notices a download that I have missed, please report the post.

I'm not trying to tell anyone that they should or should not download the leak since that is an entirely personal decision. However, if you do plan to share the download, please do so via IM or email. Thanks, guys!

EDIT: All requests for a link/download to the TGP leak must be made here. Any requests located in another thread or in the chatbox will be removed. Do not ask any of the administrators to send it to you. We are not getting involved in spreading this around.

The Glass Passenger Adventure

on Thursday 14 August 2008 - 22:15:51 | by sinAcosB
A new contest has been posted on the Messengers:

The release of The Glass Passenger is rapidly approaching. Jack ’s Mannequin is turning to their faithful friends, The Messengers, to help them get ready for their upcoming tour and the release of their new album.

Every week there will be two new missions, and it’s going to be a grand journey all the way up until The Glass Passenger comes out. That’s why every week in addition to a few pictures of your work on missions, you will take two special photos of yourself. They will be photos of a “Day In The Life of a Messenger”. Just like Andrew takes photos of himself on the road, you’ll be taking pictures of yourself on your journey leading up to the release of The Glass Passenger.

At the end of the mission, you will have 15 photos of yourself showing insights into your life leading up to the new album. Then, you’ll pick your favorite song on the new record, and put your 15 pictures into a slideshow with your favorite song on the record.


The winner of the contest will be selected by Andrew himself. Prizes include:
  • A flyaway to the U.S. show date of your choosing

  • Framed lyrics handwritten by Andrew

  • A miniature piano signed by the band
