NEW SINGLE - “HOP, SKIP & A JUMP”
Yes friends, the first single from our long awaited magnum opus/rock opera/sprawling monstrosity Nathan Jones is Dead is finally here.
GHOST PAL
The stunning evidence of our laborious channeling of the Ghost Pal! A forum for us to fart from out of our mouths! (scatological speaking) Ghost Pal regularly communicates with Josh Barocas, Dominic Coles, Justin Coles, Alexandre da Silva, Oliver Ignatius, Henry Kandel and Carson Moody. Ghost Pal has at one time or another been in cahoots with Matt Chilton, Isaac Ignatius, Linus Ignatius, Gabe Katz, Shayne Lebron, Wolfe Margolies, Ezra Miller, Sam Sullivan, Caleb Townsend, Burke Williams and Jake Williams!
Let's hope they post something cause..i don't much feel like doing all of it (what should i write about etc)
Johnny Thunders full performance stockholm 1982. He’s a mess, wasted beyond belief, but it’s still awesome, particularly when he starts insulting the crowd. - Alex
Holy Modal Rounders just kill it -Alex
AWESOME SONIC YOUTH DOCUMENTARY! -Alex

The Great American Novel make just the right kind of loud, pop-driven rock ‘n’ roll that easily inspires equally brazen artwork… So when the boys asked me to do the cover for their new record, I had a few ideas pretty immediately.I sent them rough sketches of three of these ideas, intending for them to pick a final design for me to move forward with… But this seemed to just confuse them, more than anything. These are the two images that they had the most difficulty deciding from - So I went ahead and completed final versions of both as they were still bickering. The first image - of the gentleman in the glasses - is the design they ultimately decided on, and also, funny enough, the first concept I came up with. But I put a lot of work into both, so I’m posting the two of them, here, together.
Apparently there’s some debate as to who the guy on the cover is - some saying Buddy Holly and others (more reasonably) GAN frontman Layne Montgomery. Anyone who knows anything about my artistic process, however, knows that I use primarily photos of myself as reference… So, yes, I put myself on the cover of someone else’s record. And have apparently gotten away with it.
Download the album now, and put me in your iPod, too! It looks great, sounds greater, and costs nothing (or, however much you want to donate).
