Show at the parish with Chase Long Beach. Its only $5!!

WHIPPERSNAPPER is almost starting pre-production! We have to write one more song, and will re-record a few songs that have been on here. Until then, we're cooking up a little aperitif called WHIPPERTEASER. Three songs to whet your appetite for the full length.

Look for Whipperteaser and updates on the album both here and at the Comprehensive news page (which you should RSS feed subscribe to).

In recent memory, we've seen the Writer's Guild successfully acquire their demands through a strike. Their demands were somewhat humble. But not nearly as humble as our demands. Our demands are so fucking humble it's hard to be humble about it.

9 more people must buy the album. And then we'll release a FREE DIGITAL SINGLE. You can download it. The song, the B-side, the artwork, everything. And share it with your friends guilt free.



P.S. As far as we know we are the first rock band ever to go on strike.

UPDATE: The strike is over! Thank you to everyone who's bought records so far.

FUCK MY LIFE, THE MOVIE

EXT. Venice Beach, middle of the fuckin day. Jordan and Matthew are chillin' on the bleachers, our new album on display, with an iPod ready to "try it before you buy it."

RANDOM VENICE BEACH HIPPIE DUDE (RVBHD)
Can I have a cigarette, dude?
ME
Yeah, sure man. Wanna have a listen to our album while you smoke that?
RVBHD
For sure, pump that shit up.

RVBHD puts iPod earphones in as I play him "Seek + Hide"

RVBHD
This intro is trippy, man. You ever heard of Magic Box?
MATT
(begrudgingly) Yes.
JORDAN
(whispers to MATT) Dude, really?
MATT
No, I just don't want him to go off on a tangent.

Some time elapses. It's actually a pretty boring movie in that sense.

JORDAN
So what do you think man? It's only 7 bucks.
RVBHD
Dude, I mean, this is badass, but I'll download your shit on Limewire once you guys get big!

FIN.

OK that movie sucked but that movie is my fucking LIFE. I think music consumers have been SPOILED by bands like Radiohead. I mean, I love Radiohead, and I think for them it made sense to offer the pay-what-you-want album deal, but it's started to trickle down to up-and-coming artists who literally NEED to sell their albums just to make back what it cost to produce, record, package, press it you name it MAKING MUSIC ISN'T FREE. I suppouse we could have recorded the whole thing in my garage, spent days of manual labor creating our own packaging out of card stock only to give them away to people who might just throw it away anyway. BUT IT WOULD HAVE SOUNDED LIKE SHIT. It would have looked like shit. It wouldn't have been something you would have wanted.

I understand, the economy is shit right now and people have less and less discretionary income. But you still go to the movies, don't you? I'd like to think people would be more willing to support local, independent music than major Hollywood conglomerates hell-bent on releasing "Legally Blonde 6: Just Put it in my Butt Already" and "Movie Movie" (a spoof on Scary Movie kind of movies), endlessly recycling their own bloated garbage.

So to conclude, please buy the album. Just call me to meet up, or if you're shy just buy it on iTunes. Shit's good. I know it is because you told me so. You just probably haven't bought it. Because you're saving up for a better computer so you can download Fall Out Boy faster.

P.S. If more of you buy the album I will release a free digital only single with new material on it as my token of gratitude.
