It’s good to be President but you take the good with the bad. We’re pissing off the Americans; the British; radio, print and video outlets; and, whoever else supports us. Us Against Ourselves: about to be trademarked at an IP office near you! But when you’re this good you can afford to be naughty. Spank me. Hard. Tricky Woo has finished their album, “First Blush” to be released August 30, 2005. Spanking good rock and roll in the loving arms of LGR – bound for high accomplishments. Let the music do the talkin’ and the bullshit can do the walkin’. New signing, From Fiction (you read it here first) have a Steve Albini-produced record that sounds splendid. Do they realize how good they are? Do you? More about that later in the year. Death From Above 1979 are touring Festivals throughout Europe this Summer and working on their next album set for release in Spring 2006. Jesse and Sebastien have both been enjoying their time at home working on various remixes and material for the new record. Look for a remix/b-sides/live album from them in the Fall. Album title suggestions being taken here. We are working on the artwork and track listing right now. Oh yeah, and they are opening for Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stoneage from October 16 – November 19 throughout the U.S. and Canada. Metric did a couple shows with Modest Mouse in Toronto and Montreal and the new songs are going over amazingly well. Their French tour expanded their audience over there and we expect they will be over there for 2 more visits before the year is through. They are hard at work finishing their new record in Toronto.
It’s that simple.
Get a second hand guitar – Chances are you’ll go far – If you get in with the right bunch of fellows…

Your President.
