Yeah I noticed the other post after I made mine, so I trimmed out the fat and left that awesome picture and tracklist for more discussion.

When is TMV's record contract expire? I think they're past the point where a recording company will help them.

Also, the album and tshirt preorder is a great deal, you'd pay that much for the shirt itself at a concert.

TMV I believe is done with WB after this record. I could see them jumping on ship with Sargent House, since they've got it down for promos, bundles, and promotion in general. Plus it would give Omar + Cedric a bit of breathing room and Omar more access to get his noodlin' out on solo ventures.

I'm hoping that t-shirt comes with the vinyl preorder as well, whenever that becomes available.

And for those At the Drive-In fans, Omar's phone interview with the BBC really explains why an ATDI reunion took so long (Omar) and what to expect (the energy is still there).

It's quite possibly the least-awkward Omar interview I've ever heard.

Ehh, not a big fan of the new song, all things considered. It just seems like it doesn't really go anywhere, and it sounds really bland. Still waiting for the album because a lot of the live stuff around is quite cool.

Thanks for this. Interesting stuff. So it seems like ATDI only has the Coachella show lined up right now and no current plans to record. :( Hopefully playing that show lights a fire under their asses and they get back to doing their thing in earnest.

Sparta's got a new record on the horizon too, I think, so it may be a while though.

Cedric has said it relates to the old nursery rhyme called Solomon Grundy, NOT the comic book character. Rolling Stone and I think a few other magazines jumped to the conclusion that it was the comic book character.



Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end,
Of Solomon Grundy.


Cedric sang most of this during live shows last year.

I'm hearing rumblings that they'll be at Lollapalooza, which would rule due to timing and proximity.

You can listen to it here. Just click 'listen again' in the top right and search Mary Anne Hobbs and its the most recent show.

It starts about 1 hour 10 minutes in.

And the cliffnotes from the interview:

quote:

20 songs recorded in total during the sessions.
Noctourniquet is 3 years old.
20 albums recorded since then.
Hopefully playing in UK for festivals and intimate shows this Summer.

2009 Los Sueños de un Hígado

2010 Ciencia de los Inútiles
2010 Omar Rodriguez Lopez & John Frusciante
2010 Sepulcros de Miel

2010 Cizaña de los Amores
2010 Mantra Hiroshima
2010 Dōitashimashite
2010 Un Escorpión Perfumado
2010 Telesterion

No, I actually made it awhile back as a combination of an Omar stencil and a Captain Planet stencil.
