are headlining Day 1! wooooooohooooo

yeah ok.

Edit.
a little birdied told me that if you are a fan of OR and interested in STSTU, PM me.

Dammit Tom, upload that sucker for me. I'm missing both "Stars too small" and the Australian Tour cd "Overboard and down"... There's a 4-6 week waiting period for "Overboard and Down" on Amazon and I couldn't find it at Waterloo Records in Austin, though I got "The President's Dead" single on vinyl from there. Point is, I'd be indebted to anyone who could either bballarl one of those to me or just ul. If I have something that someone doesn't have, I'll trade, so request.

[nothingman00]

wait. Tom, when do you get home?

[arbouler]

[full on idle]

"when I get back from india" my ass

[nothingman00]

Tom, you're back... Wanna post "Stars too Small" or bballarl me... I'll hug you like a polar bear.

[kreutz2112]

nah i just had to look on the first page of the search function.

yeah I realized that after I made the post. I thought of deleting it, but then I realized I'd have to pay attention. Allright kids LETS GET THIS OVER WITH.


that post went in a weird direction. TMI?

[fortydollarsworthofmeat]

i just PM'd tom and then realized this is a month+ old.

whoops.

but i still want STSTU.

[TomAz]

I will do this. I promise. I, um, forgot.

[TomAz]

Interested parties PM me.

The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable!!!!!!!!

edit: nm, it's working.

[ewiggy]

hey guys. preorder for Stage Names is now available via the bands label, Jagjaguwar. it's $11 and the first 700 or that order the "deluxe edition" will include the regular album, plus a 2nd CD that includes solo demos of the songs from the album.

this is also available via insound, amazon, etc, but the band makes more money from the sales made directly through the label, and most likely you will receive it faster if you order direct from Jagjaguwar.

buy here.

[TomAz]

I wonder when labels will allow you to download directly (without going to iTunes). Pressing, packaging, and shipping a CD seems such a waste anymore.

[ewiggy]

you don't want to own that?

[TomAz]

did you do the cover? is the artwork yours?

[ewiggy]

i wish. the artwork is by William Shaff. who is different from Will Sheff. Shaff has done all of the artwork for the band since their 2nd album, i believe.

[TomAz]

album art isn't that important to me.

you should get a gig designing album covers though. You'd be good at it. I wonder where you apply for a job like that?

[ewiggy]

i think you just have to be a good artist, and a band has to see your work and like it. i bet i'd get stuck with linkin park or something. i'd be terrible at that.

[Hannahrain]

But they could pay you in decks!

[ewiggy]

ahahaha i almost forgot about that guy. he was like, in bosnia or something. and going to pay me in skateboards.

[ewiggy]

I wonder when labels will allow you to download directly (without going to iTunes). Pressing, packaging, and shipping a CD seems such a waste anymore.

update: if you pre-order the album direct from Jagjaguwar, you will (in the next couple of days) get a coupon via email for an immediate download of the entire album.

I liked "For Real", "Kansas City", and the Otis Redding one. You know, the free stuff. Which album do you think I should buy first if I were to actually buy one? kthxbye/

Friday August 31 - Congress 22nd Birthday - Labor Day Weekend - Tucson Music & Film Festival


Mark your calendars. There will be no camping this Labor Day Weekend. You have to be here for the largest film & music festival in Tucson. Here's a little peak into what we've got planned:

**Four Class Reunion Stages.
Reunite with Tucson's stars of the "graduating class" of 1980, featuring Bob Meighan, Ned Sutton and many others.
**The class of 1990 featuring Tucson expatriots The Supersuckers, Pollo Elastico and many others

**The class of 2000 featuring the final show ever for The Weird Lovemakers and many others

** a presumptous look ahead to the class of 2010 featuring the absolute best emerging talent the old pueblo has to offer.



ALSO: **Howe Gelb hosts a cast of allstars for the 10th Anniversary of Rainer’s Inner Flame record!

**Al Perry leads another cast of Allstars through Tucson’s greatest guitar hero telecaster throwdown

**Great national acts like Okervil River, The Bellrays, Ian Moore & many more

** must-see indie films all weekend long

Keep checking the website for details & advance tickets. We expect oh about 40 great acts, a dozen cool films, two great BBQ's, and alow ticket price.
This will be a weekend to stick around for!

[mob roulette]

And Magnolia Electric on the 11th as well as Greyhound Soul's CD Release Party on the 14th. I will be at all three. Add in Devendra, Animal Collective, Rodrigo y Gabriela, etc and I would say it's shaping up to be a pretty fine fall.
