year end/begin edition (or NEW RECORD OUT FEBRUARY 14TH)

here’s the skinny:
when:  february 14th, 2012
where:  THE WORLD
what:  our new record, running jumping falling shouting
 
When last we spoke Nic Harcourt was playing a song from our EP over and over again on KCSN.  Those were such innocent times, when radio was all the rage.  But the river, she keeps on a-flowin’ and it’s about time we put out a new record, don’t you think?

Well it just so happens that’s exactly what we’re about to do.  And thanks to our IndieGoGo supporters (you know who you are you beautiful beautiful lovelies) we were able to do it without ending up on the dole just yet.  We’re readying the media blitz as we speak.  But before all of that happens, we (or others) have started posting tracks here and there to give people a taste of things to come.  So get ready for a big list of links.  ‘Cause it’s coming.  Seriously… you might want to sit down.  And not only to prepare yourself, but also because who the hell stands up while reading an email?  Are you really THAT busy?
 
Check out the first single:  better off alone

Richard Parsons posted “run from rock’n’roll” on his best of 2011 list (shhhh, don’t tell anybody that it didn’t come out in ‘011.

And the Capitol Records Christmas tree’s days might be numbered, but that shouldn’t keep you from listening to our collaboration with the sweet hurt.  It’ll keep you warm during those lonely winter nights.  This is a FREE download until January 2nd:  winter without you

And lastly, fresh off the presses is a cover of Big Star’s “September Gurls” that Jake recorded with Sara Radle to celebrate what would have been Alex Chilton’s 61st birthday on Wednesday.  Listen to it HERE or download it for FREE from our Facebook music page.

Hopefully we’ll be in touch soon with news of a record release show.

Let’s make 2012 the best last year of humanity ever (start making your December 20th dinner reservations now)!

all the platonic love we can muster,
