Dearest Fallen Leaves,

It is with great excitement that we announce the long awaited release
of The Secret History's "Desolation Town" ep. This debut release is
brought to you by the notorious Le Grand Magistery record label, and
is available via iTunes, the impeccable Darla mail order service (www.darla.com
) and many other fine retailers. This event will be celebrated on
Thursday November 20th at our Modern Problems party at Public Assembly
in Williamsburg. The Secret History will be joined on this specially
curated evening by two of NYC best bands; our friends in the brilliant
Mahagony, and the remarkable Nouvellas. There will be fantastic djs,
lots of giveaways and general merriment. You really should be in
attendance.

The ep features the new single "It's Not The End of The World, Jonah,"
a 'lost generation' disco anthem, and the dour proto-glam hits "Mark &
John (Bring On The Glitter Kids,) "Our Lady of Pompeii," and "The
Ballad of The Haunted Hearts" remixed and remastered beyond all
previous previews. But the highlight may be the ballad "Our Lady of
Palermo," which has already made an old lady in the cheese shop cry.
The cover photo of Ms. Ronson snapped by Laura Kunkel is worth the
price of admission itself, but the ep also includes lyrics, and the
first 3 paragraphs of a Sicilian novella...

I am also thrilled to announce the launching of my new, ermm,
blog...also titled 'Desolation Town.' Because reading my thoughts on
life can only make you feel better about your own.

So help us cut through the static of modern life, and let your friends
and associates (or a journalist) know about what we are up to. Without
you, we are nothing.

To all those My Favorite fans that have waited patiently for this to
take form, my deepest expression of gratitude. To all those that have
just begun with us, the same. With a new single in the works for
January, and a full length to follow in spring, we hope to finish the
decade out with a saga of songs on which to hold on to. The future is
an alternating current. We remain alone together, our hearts beating
fast under our anoraks and macs. But the rain has never troubled me a
fraction as much as the idea of saying goodbye.

Thoroughly,
Michael Grace Jr.
