Life is Pleasure
7/8/2008
good morning %USERNAME%, i've got serious news for you :
film as life : the film made of our tour of Japan in 2006, Life is Pleasure, is now complete, and is being manufactured even as i type. we're pretty thrilled with how it turned out. it's about 50 minutes long, covers 5 shows in 4 cities in 6 days. there's some extras and bullshit and a fair amount of our new record, Tragic Boogie, can also be heard on the soundtrack.
however, this is not a concert film!! i will warn those of you expecting to see an entire show or even much less, an entire song, not to get their hopes up. the film would've been too long and we think it's all the other stuff that's so much more interesting rather than the usual rockshow footage. but there is a touch of rock posing, of course.
for the foreseeable future, it will be available only through our website and at live events, like, for instance, our upcoming west coast tour later this month with Nueva Vulcano, with whom you may recall we made a split recording. we're not taking pre-orders just yet but i'll let everyone know when they go on sale. Megan, our fairskinned yet hardworking intern/assistant, is prepping her mailer stockpiles.
magic vinyl : our brethren at Hawthorne Street Records are doing the honors again in the release of the vinyl version of The Magician EP. we'll be selling the shit out of this and the Suburban Hymns vinyl on this next outing with our boys from Barcelona, Nueva Vulcano.
RIP George Carlin 1937-2008
