Marshmallow Coast’s first and third records, Time Square (1997) and Marshmallow Coasting (2000) are now available as “special edition” re-releases from iTunes and eMusic.  Each includes bonus tracks, most of which have never before been released.  Marshmallow Coasting, originally released on Kindercore Records, features of Montreal as Andy Gonzales’ backing band.  Complete track listings are below.  (Incidentally, I don’t know why “The Audience is Listening,” the opening instrumental track from Coasting, is not included; but I haven’t downloaded the new version yet, so for all I know it’s just been merged with “Lilypad” onto a single track.  UPDATE: I have confirmed with HHBTM that the missing track was Andy’s decision.  Frankly, it’s not a big loss – we’re talking, literally, about seconds of an instrumental – and it’s still a terrific album.)  Super Seniors and Juniors, a completely re-recorded version of his sophomore album, will be released in the very near future.
