Our good friends at Bad News Records in Japan have released a great 24-song live album of our performance in Shibuya. It's currently available on iTunes. Buy it here on iTunes. You can see the Track Listing on our Music Page.
Also, a very gifted Japanese photographer named Taku Tatewaki followed us around and took some very nice photos.
In other news, our website, which just looked plain bad in 2000 and was kind interestingly, pathetically bad in 2011, is now redesigned.
Roots Fest was great, hope to see some of you looking at us while we play music at Pitchfork. Not sure why but I'm pretty sure Mavs will win tonight. That is all. -T

Dear Everyone,
It's been awhile, no? We've been working on something for about two years now, and I'm not sure how we kept this under our hats for so long, but we did.
We're reissuing Emergency & I on vinyl, and it's coming out January 11th on Barsuk Records. The music was
re-mastered from the original 1/2-inch tapes, keeping it analog every step of the way, and it's going to be
on 180-gram double-vinyl, four songs per side, with the fourth side being bonus tracks from hard-to-find releases.
Being double vinyl, the packaging is a lovely gatefold -- with the art in the right order -- and will include an
oral history of making the record, pictures from that era and of course the lyrics. Am I missing anything?
Right, shows. When getting together to sort out the re-issue, we got in the basement a few times to make
noise, run through some songs, shake out some cobwebs. It felt good. So to celebrate the release of the
reissue, we're going to play a handful of shows. Unfortunately with everyone's schedule being crazy, we only
have time for a few. See the shows section below for more detail.
And since things have changed a bit since 2003, we now have
Facebook
and Myspace pages, and a
Twitter feed.
Tickets go on sale later this week, check the venue sites for details. We're very excited for everyone to
hear the re–masters—they sound so good!
See you at the shows, Eric
