Deathbomb Newsletter: Tue Dec 6
dbom...@gmail.com
Welcome to December! So far this month our home has been attacked by
150mph+ winds that knocked out electricity for days, there was a black
widow attack that ended up with a visit to the emergency room due to
scary nervous system fits, and our cat Leroy is back on the killing
game. Maybe 2012 will be the end of the world. Or maybe just a tough
week. In any case, I'm keeping an eye on Leroy. Something tells me he
has just been keeping it low key for the last couple months in order
to pull off a really big caper.
Btw, the Pitchfork readers poll is open again. Last year Foot Village
got into the top 150 best live acts. Considering that FV did no
touring in 2010, this is especially amazing. Perhaps with 3 tours
under our belt in 2011 we can break the top 100 this year? So, please
take a moment to vote for Foot Village for best live act over at the
poll! http://readerspoll.pitchfork.com/

1. Back To The Future The Ride 'Chatroom Enhancing Drugs'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned a few weeks back, all the Back To The Future The Ride
comp tracks and singles have been compiled into a single free album
called 'Chatroom Enhancing Drugs'. The album also includes 3
previously unreleased tracks. "Ghosts Outside Of Argentina" and "The
Cathedral of Orange in the City of Red" are both outtakes from the
'Tron Legacy' session and "Science Mirrors" is a remix done by
SatisHouse (a tik///tik alias). The release has stunning animated
artwork by Peter Burr. Compared to the breezy comfort of the last
official BTTFtr album, 'Gay Wish', this release is the coldness of
deep space. Welcome to winter folks! http://deathbombarc.com/DBA114/
2. Deathbomb Spotify Mix
-------------------------------------------
For all the Spotify users out there, I've made a mix for winter. A
bunch of my all time favorite tracks (Cranes, Lush), a few Deathbomb
classics (Yuma Nora, tik///tik), and even some new music. Over the
next few months we'll be posting more Spotify mixes curated by
Deathbomb acts and to share tracks from our favorite non-DBA releases
of 2011. The following link will open up your Spotify player, fyi:

3. new Coyote Clean Up in the distro
-----------------------------------------------------------
There are few bands that consistently floor me like Coyote Clean Up.
His contribution to the 2010 CE comp Deathbomb put out was one of my
highlights of the release. So anytime CCU drops a new physical
release, you know I'm all over it. The latest is a split cassette with
DenMother. All the smoothness you've come to expect, of course! A few
copies available in the Deathbomb distro, also a link from there to
preview the music! http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/coyote-clean-up-denmother-split-cassette
4. new The End of the Fucking World comic
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a while, but the third episode of my comic series The End
of the Fucking World is now up at Tiny Mix Tapes. Still keeping the
story line of this one more mysterious than the speed at which Ghost
Hulk revealed itself, but trust me, it is all coming together soon
enough (and I promise to start posting new episodes more quickly!)
Enjoy! http://www.tinymixtapes.com/tmt-comics/third-0

Lazor Eyes was a favorite of the first year of Deathbomb Digi Singles
