SPEND MONEY

HERE'S THE DEAL EVERYONE

RIGHT NOW

You need to buck up your ideas and purchase the new Futureheads album, coyly titled "This Is Not The World" (oh, you jokers! I know! It's an album!), because it's really fucking great and Laura would really like to get herself a nice home to enjoy married life in.
You can get a nice special edition with a booklet (I wanted to type 'pamphlet') and DVD if you look over at this webdingle: http://www.thefutureheads.com/news/this_is_not_the_world_out_today/

So there you go! Do that! Yeah!

In other money-spendorz news, you have like 58 hours left to pre-order our nice new EP 'Sissy Hits' (AKA Shits) and get a fucking t-shirt oh shit! DO THAT, GET COOL AND GET WILD. AND DO IT HERE: http://holyroarrecords.bigcartel.com

OHHHHHHH TANKYOUUUUU.

Better Bones

I think i've broked my ear muscles. I have definitely done damage this weekend. It's looking like i'm going to have to do the whole Mission Of Burma giant headphone things that people who drill in the road wear. Ouch.

Thanks to The Futureheads and Operator Please (some of the funniest, most spackiest people we've ever met) and thanks to 2 Days In Stereo (Derek) and Eurocultured for giving us a hotel rooms which we spent one hour sleeping in.

Micro-tour 1 done and dusted.

Oh yeah, we got Sissy Hits cd's from Alex (thanks Alex!) and the look amazing. Get them pre-ordered up doodz, see a few posts below.

I'm listening to Brainiac through headphones and it sounds really weird, as though my brain is fried....

SOME UK ROCKO, CIRCA 2008

Hi dudes!

Not much to unveil at the minute, but I'm sure something ultranewsy will be along soon to keep your web-based buttocks on the edge of their web-based seats. Web 2.0 is a keen beast, no? Sorry for not posting anything for a while. We're writing stuff for an impending album - honest!

We're going out rocking a lot more this year so that we lose weight and get in more hilarious, almost sit-com embarrassing situations so that you, the viewer, can either come to our shows and join us in ritualistic celebration, or read about them here in our own words and pictures and grammatical mistakes. BOOP! Here's a tiny list of what we're doing soon:

23 May - Stereo,Glasgow
24 May - Dundee w/ The Futureheads
25 May - Eurocultured Festival, Manchester
3 Jun - Cluny, Newcastle w/ Johnny Foreigner & Ox.eagle.lion.man
4 Jun - Sumo, Leicester w/ Johnny Foreigner & Ox.eagle.lion.man
5 Jun - Proud AM=AK, London w/ Johnny Foreigner & Ox.eagle.lion.man
8 Jun - Bardens Boudoir, London
10 Jun - Club Artrocker, London
12 Jun - Fuzz Club, Sheffield
18 Jun - Oran Mor, Glasgow w/ Melt Banana (!!! I'm excited!)
19 Jun - Adventures Close To Home @ Moshulu, Aberdeen
26 Jul - Tough Love Records 3rd Birthday All Dayer, Coventry
27 Jul - 93 Feet East, London w/ Erase Eratta
30 Aug - Offset Festival, Essex


I'm reliably informed that there's a bunch more that I probably don't know about. Some of the gaps will get filled in so I don't know. Keep looking with your web-based eyes.

In other news, none of these dates might happen because I have started playing Final Fantasy XI. But if Duncan can manage his World of Warcraft addiction enough to leave the house for more than a day, I'm sure he can give me handy hints on how to do the same with my online RPG...

Yours with tongues,
Calum xxx

Mixtape no.2

here's our 2nd MUXTAPE for you to enjoy
Its all gold!

http://dananananaykroyd.muxtape.com/

listing:

ELO - Twilight
(this sounds like every great band of the 70s traveling through space together)

Cutting Pink with Knives - Hey, Cowboy
(my fav song by CPWK)

Mr OIZO - Patrick122
(really amazing odd spack up of a 70s song called 'do it at the disco' - watch out for the awesome wonky sax solo!)

Grauzone - Ich & Du
(straight outa 1980's berlin electro-clashy)

Dillinger Escape Plan - When Good Dogs do Bad Things
(with Mike Patton on vocals, Chris Pennie on drums- this song is unstoppable)

Siriusmo - Schreitmasch
(Siriusmo is one of my fav producers in the whole, this sounds like some spacky disco Modeselektor)

Rolling Stones - You Cant Always Get What You Want (Soulwax remix)
(you'd think it would be impossible to make this bland song good in a remix, but soulwax manage it!)

commentz plz
