Almanac is a live album released digitally through the TMBG Download Store in December of 2004.

All songs on the album were taken from performances during the Spine On The Hiway Tour, mostly from the tour's latter half. Other live recordings from the tour were released on The Spine Hits The Road and Venue Songs.

The album was unavailable for purchase after 2009 until 2023, when it was relisted on the TMBG Shop in MP3 and (for the first time) uncompressed WAV. The 2023 release substituted the "glacially slow" performance of "Drink!" for a faster version recorded three days later.
