Tracing Lines / Silent Cry
Tracing Lines and Silent Cry are the double a-side singles from Feeder, and was released on August 24, 2008. It was meant to be released on the 25th, but it appeared on the UK iTunes Store a day early as all downloads in the UK charts as well as physical sales include those on a Sunday.
Both songs, 'Tracing Lines' and 'Silent Cry' are taken from their sixth album, Silent Cry. The single was originally meant to be just Tracing Lines, released on August 11, 2008. However Silent Cry was later added along with the announcement that it would be a download-only single. Feeder's fans slated this due to being no physical release or any new material worth collecting. There are still promo copies of "Tracing Lines" available on sites such as eBay, which are more collectible than most promos, as they were pressed when the single was "Tracing Lines" only.
The band themselves expressed very little attention into the singles promotion, in which at the Reading leg of the Reading and Leeds festival, the song was dropped from the set list in exchange for a cover of Nirvana's "Breed", with no mention by Grant Nicholas of the single during the set. Had the single been released on CD format as originally planned, the catalogue number would have been ECSCD205.
The single charted outside the top 200.

For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

tiger and clear is my eye and hot
my brain and silent all the whining
grunting piglets of the appetites.”
