FULL RIPE DISCUSSION ZONE

Ok let's move on. Next item up for discussion is the FULL RIPE 7" that appeared out of nowhere. Did someone from FU put this on ebay? From Matador UK? Maybe natalie or stuart? Or Paco? Very mysterious. I'm sure there is at least one person out there who knows exactly what this is, others who can speculate reasonably (including myself), and many others that can ruminate wildly and comment in an entertaining way. LETS FIGURE IT OUT

Also - next topic of discussion will be Year of the Tiger, so you don't need to comment about that yet.

THANKS WEST COAST. We had a really weird time with a lot of the boring particulars behind the scenes (didn't see our appearance at either secret shows we booked the other day in the bay - with the Zero BOys or with DYS? well we secretely had our van break down on the way, sorry) but all the shows were great and we love being on that bright side of your country. We're on a plane now heading east to play with CRO MAGs in New York in a few days - grab those RSVPs asap people.

BEGN COMPLAINT ZONE

Hey I've got nothing really to say lately cause we're on tour and nothing interesting or stressful at all is happening that I can tell you about and I know a lot (2) of you are kind of upset about the whole BEGN fiasco that we designed specifically to fuck with you and you are crowding up all the cool comments that anonymous is leaving in the comments section, and since reading the comments section of LFG is legit one of the only things that gets us as a band through these long tours, talking about certain posters over dinner and in the van, I thought I might make this post and leave it up for a few days so you can all get all your BEGN posts out of your system, even thought it kind of makes no sense to have them here at all anyhow. Ok thanks.

BANCOUVER

Hey thanks again Vancouver, that show was nuts. We hung downstairs for a bit while some of the other bands were playing - this is what the crowd sounded like from right below.

FREEdm

Hey so we're about to leave for tour again. We're all spread out over the globe so who knows what everyone else has been up to in the time off. As for me, I've been laying low writing an article about how ChemCom is basically a Justin Bieber record. I think Jonah was out east issuing fatwas.

Anyways the point of all this is that if you live in either Vancouver or Victoria, you will have a chance to see us do our jobs for free because that's just the kind of place Canada is. Then the next day in Seattle you can see us for like $100 because we are playing a festival. For the Vancouver show you have to RSVP on FACEBOOK right HERE to GET IN. Or else there will be a riot.

WEST

HI. Thanks for all your nice responses to the Lady Gaga article, it's nice to know that you guys all have retained a good sense of humour throughout the 6+ years of ultra-serious posting here on LFG ("ha").

Anyways I just wanted to let you all know we are continuing our exclusive live conquest of North America in a few weeks when we land on the gentle shores of Vancouver Canada and head south to the sweetspot of America, Los Angeles. We just got home from one of those, and it was really fun. Jeff the Bro were very cool, and thanks for everyone for coming out and jamming. Here is where we are going:
