Fangio update; Smooth Sounds out now
So yeah, as I’m sure many reading this are aware, it’s July now. But I only called it a “target date,” didn’t I? Not every shot is a bullseye.
New and final release dates, and to quote Scott at Fayettenam, this is a “hard deadline”:
7″: August 10
LP: September 7
That’s the cover of the LP above. The vaunted video will be up when the single drops. Yet to come: an exhaustive listener’s guide, a Fangio timeline, downloadable posters, Fangio: the Novelization, a feature-length film. Better not to hold your breath on the last two, maybe. Seriously though, we’re putting together a full-on assault. When it’s over, people who google “Fangio” will see pictures of Saabs. I am bending the fabric of reality to my will!
Meanwhile: in the fine tradition of Inland Empire tribute albums past comes Smooth Sounds: The Future Hits of Wckr Spgt, the Shrimper 20th anniversary compilation. Thirty-six Shrimper alums—including the likes of Refrigerator, the Mountain Goats, Lou Barlow, Franklin Bruno, Simon Joyner, Charlie McAlister, and Jad freakin’ Fair fercryinoutloud—interpret Wckr Spgt songs penned exclusively for the purpose. The one I was assigned afforded me the opportunity to make real a long-threatened idea for something called Joel Division: Spgt songs sung in the manner of Ian Curtis. You need this.

Posted by Natalie on Jul 10 10 at 11:27 amYeah, World Tour def. Please include Dallas (or Denton) though because since moving home the music scene here is TERRRRRRIBLE. We need some PPH to spice it up.
No more of this New England only PPH stuff! (Although Johnp just wants ENGLAND England… haha.)
I am so pumped about the music video.
Posted by Andrew Hime on Jul 11 10 at 1:36 amYou know I want a Denton date as well – choose venues wisely.
Posted by Natalie on Jul 11 10 at 12:53 pmOh good, someone who has more clout than me! Now you HAVE to come to Denton, Peter. The music scene in north TX is so bad anyway EVERYONE WILL COME TO YOUR SHOW to be refreshed by good tunes.
