April 11th
Come to this. Bring all your friends. Bring all your dead. What can a ghost do for you?
yoooooooo.
come get weird with us. it’s gonna be weird. really really weird.
support touring musicians who still hoof it diy.
I don’t think people follow us anymore, that’s what inactivity does to you.
Playing our first show in over a year.
Bob is this excited. But with more body hair. (because this picture is old).
February 5th with Girlfight from Pittsburgh. 2wicked.
There is a 75% (if not greater) chance that we are playing a show in the beginning of February with the super awesome dudes of Girlfight. (http://girlfight.bandcamp.com/)
Girlfight is playing no matter what — which means you should go. But, I mean, I’m pretty sure we’re probably going to play. Harass Nate about it — he’s got real life responsibilities.

re-blogging a post from my personal tumblr because it’s band related.
this book inspired “we are bound together, all of us, by suffering even more than by joy.” it’s a direct quote, in fact. it lead to the writing of the track of the same name.
i guess that i pull a lot of lyrical ideas from literature and pop culture. “suffering” also has a line inspired by thomas pynchon’s gravity’s rainbow.
“1964 - rebirth” the title in particular, is inspired by salman rushdie’s satanic verses.
“city of glass” is inspired by paul auster, particularly the new york triology.
“43.941°N. / -83.271°W.” is, naturally, in part, inspired by the poem of the same name by stevie smith.
a lot of the rest of the songs are about my grandfather who, when i was young, was (mis)diagnosed with alzheimer’s disease. he didn’t know who i was for a lot of the pivotal years of my late youth. as i grew older i realized how much that really meant to me, how much i wish i could’ve known more about him. when you’re young you don’t think that shit’s all that important, but it really is. i know that my grandfather had a lot of stories in him, he served in the korean war but he never talked about that. i don’t even know how he and my grandma met. there’s so little i’ll never get to know about him. when he died i spoke at his funeral. i didn’t tell anybody i planned on doing this, i just got up there and told some jokes, just like howard would’ve. he was a really funny guy. he’s the subject of a lot of my fiction, when i’m bothered to write it.
i’d say that would some it up, but it would be slightly remiss of me to leave out this nerdy detail: “to: crazy legs” is named after a nickname my cousins gave my grandma, but the song is actually really inspired by final fantasy x because we realized that, in culture, love is super idealized and we all strive for something that is super unattainable.
alright, i’m done.
Good Teeth/Gold Teeth - We Are Bound, All of Us, by Suffering, Even More Than by Joy
We sat on this for a really, really long time. In part because we wanted to have a few things changed in the masters, but we never saw any further copies/edits than this version.
I don’t want to call this our swan song. We’re still writing songs and we’re still an active band, we’ve simply found ourselves plagued by life and distance. If you’re unaware, the four of us are spread out within Saginaw, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and Chicago.
We were supposed to play a show on July 9th, it got cancelled. We still want to play again, sometime soon, and maybe even distribute non-digital copies of this record (though that’s unlikely, we’re broke).
I have four different links to this file (320 kbps mp3 only, sorry). All of them are links to your typical free downloading sites (Rapidshare, Megaupload, Mediafire, and MobileMe). Please pick one at random. I don’t know how many downloads will be authorized. Feel free to host and distribute this record as you see fit. We decided not to go the bandcamp route because it’s not free anymore.
We’re giving this record away. If you want to pay for it, fine, I’ll put up my paypal address and you may give us whatever you see fit. That being said, if you donate over 5 dollars I’ll probably want to mail you a seven inch of DCLXVI. If you donate over 7 dollars then give me your t-shirt size, I’ll see what we have left. If you donate over 10 dollars I’ll ship you both. (paypal: nyegary@gmail.com)
I’ll post lyrics soon-ish, though if you’re an iTunes user all of the lyrics are embedded within the files (I’m not sure how other media players treat this).
Without further ado:

if you feel so inclined, please reblog this.
we hope you enjoy.
selling some records
I’ma sell some records.
Not really broke but I just don’t consider myself a collector. I don’t listen to music on my record player (my wife does — just her records, not mine).
I am open to cash, but am willing to except some trades (not sure on what but I’m willing to entertain offers).
Also willing to make deals if you buy a bunch at once. Also willing to ship, we’ll negotiate that price, and the price of the records through whichever means of communication you prefer (I prefer e-mail).
a brief aside: I gave up on labeling these first press/etc. There are a lot of first pressings (I preordered a lot of shit). If you’re a collector and you want a color, let me know.
