Even Trainer's dog looks like a ghoul.

Todd Trainer's Doppleganger (from a Boston Life Insurance group) visited our office today. Untucked shirt, spiked hair, tall and lanky, tall looking. The greyhound must've been in the car. Didn't know he left his Minneapolis factory job for a New England financial career...

The Powers that be at work have once again dashed my hopes of living a blissful (headphones-on, mind you)cubicle life from 8:30 am - 6:00pm today. Stupid filtering software. D'oh!

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-05-30 13:05:05 +0000

Good-to-great record, except for the 'Lulabelle' song, which is pointless and goes on way too long.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-30 13:09:43 +0000

Same could be said for Albini's recording career.... zing!

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-30 13:14:21 +0000

jealous. way jealous. I am calling the T+G 800 mail order # tonight to have the LP pre-ordered as I dont know how fast Newbury will get it. With Dischord if you pre-order you usually get it at least a week before the gen pop / street release date.

Hoo-ha!

"This microphone turns sound into electricity. Can you hear me now? Out on route one-twenty-eight, you're dark and lonely. Got my radio on. Can you hear me now?" Wow.

Nice Modern Lovers Fagen, that.

I didn't name my WMUA show 'The End Of Radio' for nothing. Mr. America and All The Ships At Sea... Does The Studio version have all the stuff about Martina Navritilova and John Peel?

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-31 17:24:02 +0000

ordered LP through 800-3-TOUCHU. Corey Rusk Didnt pick up the phone (that duty fell to a "Jamie"), but I have T+G's latest catalog and Shellac's new LP (which includes a copy of the cd) going out in today or tommorow's mail. With any luck ,it will beat the street date of 06/05/07, but I kinda doubt it. Im glad I held out and dint go for the cd - better to get the record esp if it has the disc inside.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-31 17:37:29 +0000

Does T&G see the same ca$h if I pre-order though Insound.com? I got a "coupon code" with my last shipment... and I was thinking of picking up a QotSA album (which one should that be?) [I could get used to the internet order stuff.]

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-31 17:43:13 +0000

Erm, nevermind. No Queens of the Stone Age on vinyl, at least Songs for the Deaf isn't.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-31 20:42:42 +0000

Dunno if it is still there, but Mike fuckin (Epoisses emphasis, not mine) Patton's Ipecac label handled the vinyl of Songs For the Deaf. I remember seeing it a few times on Ipecac's webstore - no idea if its still there. Its probably ebay or the highway as far as thats concerned. Whatever medium it exists in, that particular QOTSA album is NOT to be fucked with.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-31 22:42:37 +0000

Thanks Epoisses - just burned it. It will have to tide me over till the goods get here. Ill post more later. Hey? Who Groaned?

Posted by tgl on 2007-06-04 12:29:28 +0000

For those playing along at home, I settled(?) for Quasi When the Going Gets Dark.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-04 21:41:44 +0000

My first T+G direct mailorder experience was an overwhelming success! (Die Kruezen, Touch and Go logo stickers and Shellac LP one day before the street date to boot!) Should I spill the beans on the packaging, or do you all want the surprise of opening it yourselves? Best packaging since, well, 1000 Hurts? (Peeping Tom and Metal Box also came to mind...)

You talkin' about the hand-screened OBI?

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-05 09:59:26 +0000

-hand screened OBI -Front cover is printed on what looks to be two different stocks of paper: Uffizi the greyhound is on a smoothed out kind of paper and the fruits and vegetables part is all glossy - hold it up to the light - It must have cost $$$$$$$ to print those. -Each Person involved with the EIG project is credited by their name AND zipcode -Latin (?at least it looks to be Latin) etching / inscription on the vinyl - anyone know what it means yet? -OBI and Interior Gatefolds seem to be the same artist that did those screeprinted bicycle posters (doesn't Epoisses have one @ H3W?)of the EX / Fugazi / Shellac show we saw in Chicago.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-06-05 13:49:33 +0000

Jay Ryan did those screened posters -- he used to be in Dianogah.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-05 14:00:46 +0000

yes. that's it.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-06-05 14:06:41 +0000

Every time there's a new post here I read them. Every damn time. And I don't have a clue what you guys are talking about. I just wanna see some more cute doggie pictures.

Ohhh, it's the I CONTORT MY BODY INTO THE SHAPE OF A PLANE! guy again. I get it. (IT'S HIS ART!)

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-05 15:00:46 +0000

there you go. I loved yr Morrisey quip yesterday, BTW ;) for the record, your desire to see and talk about cute greyhounds is shared by Maddie Nigs. When opening the T+G pkg yesterday, I showed the (wrapped in plastic to avoid chocolate hands, natch)front greyhound cover to Maddie and she loved it. 'Genuine Lulabelle' did not have the same effect.

Posted by pamsterdam on 2007-06-05 15:01:59 +0000

Awww... you know how to make a girl's tail wag, DU.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-10 17:58:22 +0000

How wonderful are the thirty seconds worth of false starts on a song entitled "Be Prepared"? How about the brief radiojingle sounding-thingy that precedes "Spoke"? God, how I have missed Shellac humor. Welcome back, guys.

Review here.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-07-25 08:02:57 +0000

good work, sir. I like this Phoenix article better than the one in 1994/ (1995?) that outed me for being the pesky journalist in the crowd of the Shellac Middle East show that should be violated and bent over a piano.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-07-25 09:26:51 +0000

We were all so proud of you.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-07-26 06:18:18 +0000

oh yeah!
