Friday's Round-up, Friday's Video

Slow news week (other than the release of Fanfare for Neutral Milk Hotel Vol. 3, which you should check out), but there are a couple things to note:

The M Coast album Say It in Slang is up for pre-order at Happy Happy Birthday to Me. All pre-orders will receive a bonus book and a special sleeve, and these will ship after PopFest (just a few weeks).

Bill Doss just dropped the news at the Townhall that the first two Sunshine Fix releases, The Future History of the Sunshine Fix and Age of the Sun, will be re-issued. Both were issued through the now-defunct Kindercore (the latter a co-release with Emperor Norton) and are now out of print. He's also mentioned that A Spiraling World of Pop will see some kind of release, and we'll have more information for you on that and other Elephant 6 cassette re-releases in the near future.

Pete Erchick of Pipes You See, Pipes You Don't completely overdubbed a 70's film called It Happened at Lakewood Manor, retitled it Ants!, and passed it along at an Instruments concert to lou2ser of the E6 Townhall. Now it's been uploaded to Torrent in Divx format; go to this thread for the details. Be aware that Pete asked everyone who burns this to DVD-R to write on it: WARNING: STUPID.

Have you noticed that whenever I post a YouTube video, it's usually on a Friday? Well, I thought it was odd. So now I'm making it a regular feature. Here's a live performance by Dressy Bessy from vacantmoon.
