Hi, hope everyone had a nice break.
So Matador announced Year of the Tiger today, it's pretty cool. Many of you might already know about this record and also may have already pre-ordered it. That's cool too. You can get it from insound and also Matador is doing a package deal where you can save money if you also buy DCTL.
Anyways, so you can read on there that the aside features Jim Jarmusch and Annie Claude from Dutchess Says on vocals, and Katie from Austra does some piano. The Bside is a weird rager. We're gonna play the Aside live in Toronto in Mid February.
Sorry to everyone who has ordered/tried to order the split 7" we did with Sloan. Josh who does our mail order and also plays the guitar just had a baby and she's not old enough to stuff envelopes yet. So please just be patient - you will get your record in 12 to 14 years, depending on the child labour laws in your country.
Lastly - and this will be the last time I mention this I swear - thanks to all the bands and everyone who came out to the benefit shows we threw last month. They raised more than $20,000 and showed everyone what a great and supportive city Toronto is. We spent the year touring every where in the world (except Pittsburgh) and played with and made friends with tons of great people and bands, but purposefully chose to program the benefit shows with only Toronto bands because there is so much cool stuff happening here. If we had more time to plan, we could have easily done 5 more equally amazing shows with all Toronto bands, so hats off to everyone here and nowhere else.
Also we are playing this show in Kingston at the end of the month:
FYI Mike.....the 7" is not in the webstore yet
ReplyDeleteTo the guy directly above me: I can't figure it out either; why isn't it in the webstore yet? What gives?! I wish there was something in the post that offered a solution to our awful problem! Where are we going to buy this thing?! Why even mention the thing if the post isn't going to offer us a couple of places at least to buy the damn thing?!
ReplyDeleteI just don't get why it isn't in the webstore yet.
Congratulations Josh! You're a good kid and I sincerely wish you all the best.
Josh does the web-shop stuff, but he is currently dealing with more pressing matters having become a father a few weeks ago. He is probably now elbow deep in yellow pooh and surviving on 1 hours sleep a night. Put yourself in that scenario. Imagine explaining to the mother of your child that you won't be around for a while because you'd rather be processing paypal orders and mailing hundreds of records. That's why you can't buy it now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, there's no rush is there? It's not like you NEED to hear a Christmas song right now. Christmas songs suck even when they're being shouted rather than sung. No one is going to play it.
Why mention it if you can't buy it instantly? So that you know it's coming and you don't go and waste a load of your money on Ebay.
Why can't we buy it some place else? Because you can't. Just be thankful you will be able to get it here and enjoy the sense of delayed gratification.
Having written all that, I'm thinking the guy directly above me is being ironic. If that's the case then sorry for being patronising - I don't understand irony, I'm British.
Now, more to the point, can someone explain Nick Fenstle? Is the whole DCTL thing happening inside his mind?
And who's the Father Christmas looking dude on the Turn the Season vid?
To the guy above me/\ ....it's Josh's Father
ReplyDeleteOh and BTW....check out Self Serve Gas Station for some more up to date Fucked Up news.....

To the guy two above me:
ReplyDeleteOh.
I was the second poster. Yes, I was being sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand patronising, I'm Oblivious.
Any hint for UK stockists for ...Tiger?
ReplyDeleteHere's a link for the UK Pre-Order:

^ Lovely, thank you! ^
ReplyDeleteKingston? Jamaica? You fucking globe trotters. What are you going to do smoke a spliff down there? Ha, sounds cool! Thank Christ it's not NYC--Pittsburgh is better than NYC, which is a grade A shithole. New York sucks always and forever!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to cop Year of the Tiger. 2011 was a banner fucking year dudes, and despite all the horse shit I say on here about how NYC blows--and it does, hardcore-- you're one of the smartest and best bands I've ever heard.
Keep on rocking in the free world--except NYC, which totally sucks ass!
$16.00 CAD = $15.99 USD. Let the good times roll!
ReplyDeleteGot the split 7", so there ...
ReplyDelete...
And to Josh: How dare you leave the mother of your newborn alone only to put crap like a lousy split 7" online!
...
CONGRATS
Fuck.
ReplyDeleteFreeze this moment a little bit longer.

You guys haven't played Hamilton since that haymaker show at the corktown in the 70's. Just sayin'
ReplyDeletei'm going to take a road trip to kingston(maybe)!!
ReplyDeleteSince Refused and At the DRive-In are reuniting I guess it would be a hilarious joke if you guys made a big announcement to state you're back together, since some idiots over here keep saying you guys broke up.
ReplyDelete…
ReplyDelete"...Long ago I wandered through my mind
in the land of fairy tales and stories
Lost in happiness I knew no fears
Innocence and love was all I knew
was an illusion
Soon the days went passing into years
Happiness just didn't come so easy
Life was more than fairy tales and daydreams
Innocence was just another word
was an illusion
Lost in the wheels of confusion
Running through valleys of tears
Eyes full of angry delusion
Hiding in everyday fears
So I found that life is just a game
But you know there's never been a winner
Try your hardest, you'll still be a loser
The world will still be turning when you're gone
Turn when you're gone!…"
I guess those lyrics are kind of a bummer, but whatever, that's one of my favourite songs. My thoughts are with you Tony. If Dick Dale can beat cancer back in the mid 60's with the shit technology of the day, I see no reason why you should have to succumb to this.
"The Bside is a weird rager. We're gonna play the Aside live in Toronto in Mid February."
ReplyDeleteA Toronto show? Details please

True, but in the past year they've played London, St. Catharines, and Toronto (multiple times). Just do a bit of trekking.
Fucked Up playing Friday Feb the 17th at the Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto....Record Release for "Year Of The Tiger"
ReplyDeleteZibig had shot footage of country landscapes for Rush and the idea was to shoot short pieces of Rush performing the song against green screen and composite them together. When we started working he decided that he loved the stage and wanted to composite Rush over that instead. I suggested that we shoot them live in the stage but Zibig wanted everyone to "float" around the stage. He also insisted that everything had to happen "live." Each new layer would be placed on top of the preceding layer without making protection copies or "laying off" a copy, as we used to say. The green screen footage was shot with the same giant studio camera Aimee Mann is using in the Video. Zibig would give some vague direction to Rush, I would set up the effects, play the audio track and press record and multiple One-Inch tape machines would roll up on the third floor. For 3 days in a row. It didn't matter what time it was. If Zibig got an idea at 3 in the morning he would wake everyone up (I was sleeping in the control room) and we would all go to work. We started on Saturday morning and on Tuesday night we finished. ...
ReplyDelete... on Wednesday morning Mr. Mister moved in.

If you are ever so drunk that you cannot decide between vomiting or taking a piss, take it from me, the best course of action is standing naked in the shower. The shower is your personal Super-Grover and will protect you from all of the evils in this horrible world, but don't vomit on your dick because that would be totally stupid. Why am I still drunk?

I'm right here dummy. And I knew it was Canada when I made the joke, got it?
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, you must be from NYC with an attitude like that.
Can the moderator ban this guy or what?
Only Kidding, I LOVE New York!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really Uncle Rickey, but I had you fooled there for a minute.
Geez Ricky…..could it be that you have big apple envy? Could it be that you envy MY big apple? Tell me Ricky, is it my apple you think of late at night? When you go bobbing for apples, do you hope to sink your glistening white teeth into MY APPLE? Well screw off Ricky, I worked hard to develop my apple and I think it shows! That's why I'm so endearing to people. That's why they all call me "apple."
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm white and don't have much memor
PEACE RICKY!!!!!

Christ almighty, where's the moderator on this board!?!
ReplyDeleteI think this is around the time that we should start fresh!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to blow you dude, not my style.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do like Motown.
A 1 watt amp? Fuck that. They should be 20 watts, with a switch in the back to reduce them to 0.2 or 0.02 watts, whichever is mathematically easier and simpler to obtain, matrices style man. But that won't happen, because Marshall is instead going to chase this stupid EPA nightmare. A nightmare because wall voltage isn't really a uniform thing, especially over there in the UK. And they are too proud to admit it's a mistake, so expect to see it on their entire line in the near future.
ReplyDeleteSorry to go off on a tangent here, but has anyone heard this new Fucked Up record yet? Any good?

ReplyDeleteThey are not mortals.
ReplyDeleteIf they were mere mortals, they would be known as the Minnesota mortals, or the Green Bay pack-it-ins or the sad, pathetic '9ers.
But no, they are not mortals.
They are something more…something bigger, and stronger…..darkness has fallen…..once you cross this unstoppable force, known as the NY Giants.
I just thought you should all be aware that while I might hate NY the city, I do have a deep admiration for the NY Giants.
So, hats off to you NY, you and your majestic Giants.

ReplyDeleteWhen I say 'slap you on the shitter' I mean like a lyrical hand appears and slaps you while you're sitting there taking a shit. But you can interpret that the other way too.
