Deathbomb Newsletter: Tue Dec 20
dbom...@gmail.com
Hanukkah begins tonight. Personally, I think it is a more interesting
holiday than Christmas because, like most celebrations in Judaism, it
is still so heavily tied to ritual. Not trying to start anything, just
the boring Religious Studies major in me talking. As if I practice any
sort of religion. That said, why don't I just undermine all this by
committing sacrilege of the capitalist sort. Enter in the code
'whynot' (no quotes needed) at the Deathbomb webstore and bandcamp
page to get 20% off any order. Combined with the Winter Sale already
going on, thats a pretty big savings.

1. Kim Jong Il
--------------------------------
As conceptual builders of nations, Foot Village has studied world
leaders of all types. So the passing of Kim Jong Il is of course
significant to Foot Village. It is also ties into the mythology of
their 4th album due out next year. So it is highly recommended you
watch this, the first teaser from Foot Village's next album:

Also, Foot Village is giving away a free download of their cover of
I.E.'s song "Kim ILL"... and guess what!? I.E. is giving away a free
download of her OG version of the song. Dig.

2. New Obsidian Pond
-------------------------------------
It has been a couple years since Obsidian Pond's 3" cdr was released
on Deathbomb. Now he is back with a Christmas Album? Trust me, its
good, even if you hate Christmas:

3. New E&E
-----------------------
It has been a while since we've heard from E&E as well. But wait no
longer. E&E is back with more otherworldly arrangements on this free
online ep:
