Hello Deathbomb Friends!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

All the orders for Anti-Magic on Vinyl have been shipped out! I think it will have been worth the wait. As holders of the vinyl, you have access to some top secret info: A timeline of how all the Foot Village songs from every album fall into the overall narrative of the band. Use this information wisely!
If you live you LA, you can get the vinyl at both Origami and Vacation record stores. If you live elsewhere and your local vinyl outlet doesn't have it, tell them to order it from Revolver!

4. The Past
5. Upcoming LA Shows


1. Flood Damage Sale
--------------------------------------------
So, there are some perils to being the only punk label in La Crescenta, CA. The worse of which appears to be flooding. Our house aka DBA HQ took some flood damage last week. Fortunatly most of the Deathbomb releases and distro were unharmed, but some copies of the Live at the Smell DVD and of Child P's 'The Beatles' cd got water damaged. The discs still play fine, but the art is warped. So, if anyone would like a copy of one of these water damaged releases, I will give it to you for free along with the purchase of any other item in the webstore. Just let me know in the notes: http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/

Also, in non-flood related news, the cassette version of Foot Village's 'Anti-Magic' has been restocked. http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/foot-village-anti-magic-cd-lp


2. Lots to hear
------------------------------------
Sadly, our friends Gowns have called it a day. But they leave us with a very nice goodbye card, a 17 min track they have posted for free on their site. I'll give you the link to it on Tiny Mix Tapes though since they stream it: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/chocolate-grinder/listen-gowns-stand-and-encounter

Morc Zine has unearthed an unreleased track from the Gang Wizard / Wio collab sessions. This is from around 2000 I believe. Enjoy: http://morczine.tumblr.com/post/369316244/so-ive-been-cleaning-up-some-boxes-with-various

Mincemeat or Tenspeed stopped by KXLU while in LA a couple weeks ago. The entirety of his performance is on the Falcon Friday blog. This is the first recording of his new gear set up that I know of. Beautiful stuff from this master of intensity: http://www.falconfriday.com/2010/02/02/ivor-radio-shows-jan10/

Knight Rider have a new video for their song Dancing Together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV430wxhGbo A bleak look at LA!


3. Lots to read
-----------------------------------
UK webzine THE 405 did an article on Foot Village. Besides some flattering words, the article compiles some of the awesomest videos and mp3s of FV on the web: http://thefourohfive.com/articles/2447

ORGAN ART chose Back To The Future The Ride's debut ep as their single of the week. They have some good advice on how to listen to it: http://www.organart.com/aaasingles3.htm

Deana Uribe is our favorite writer. Her latest zine series, THE SKELETON has just entered into issue 2 territory. Everyone should be reading this. You can find out more at: http://www.groghead.com/

Tiny Mix Tapes is spending this week discussing their favorite TOP 100 RELEASES OF 00-09. Webzines tend to suck at doing stuff like this, but Tiny Mix Tapes has a very open-minder attitude about it. So far they have revealed 100-61 and it ranges from Fat Worm of Error to Blonde Redhead. A fun read and the manifesto for it is very smart. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/features/favorite-100-albums-2000-2009-100-81

PLAN B MAGAZINE was one of the best print mags for music ever to be published. It treated music with a dignity similar to The Wire, but focused on Noise Rock. Sadly, they stopped publishing a year ago. But now you can download pdf files of all their issues for free: http://www.planbmag.com/
Here is the article they did on Foot Village's first show in London: http://footvillage.org/reviews/plan-bs-spread-about-our-london-show


4. The Past
--------------------------------
Gonna try out doing a section each week called The Past... a way to turn new Deathbomb fans onto older stuff and a way to remind long time fans about fun moments. So why not start things off with something very old... or do I mean young? RAUNCHY YOUNG LEPERS that is. RYL was Jake Anderson's (from Gang Wizard / Spirit Duplicator fame) band back when he was in the 6th grade. Seriously! It is one of the most fun and stupid listens ever. Highly recommended. The Better Than Sex blog just did a little thang on them: http://betterthansexblog.tumblr.com/post/377710109
and their own website is a joy: http://tapemountain.com/ryl.html (just look at that band photo!)

Such a strange morning. Our cat Leroy came home after being gone for 24 hours. Someone had tied a leash around his neck. He is a bad axx though and escaped, but what the hell happened and who is the neighborhood sociopath? They should have known better than to test Lee's gangsta. Well, at least Mo'nique got nominated for an Academy Award. I'm rooting for her. Here is her bid to win: http://i46.tinypic.com/vg4gg3.gif

Wanna see where I live now? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/01/road-becomes-river-in-la-crescenta.html
Ha! Driving to work yesterday meant going uphill in this... well what
this became a few blocks later. Not as bad... or at least, possible.
Today's weather report says LA will get small tornadoes! WTF!!!!!
BTW, just got an email moments ago from Upset The Rhythm saying that
the vinyl of Anti-Magic arrives in London today!

1. Jingle Cats, YES!!!
2. NHY / Smell Anniversary Fest this weekend!!!
3. Infinite Body / Earn US Tour
4. Linksville
5. Upcoming LA Shows


1. Jingle Cats, YES!!!
-----------------------------------------
You might not believe what I am about to tell you, but it is true. The
latest addition to the Deathbomb Arc webstore is the Jingle Cats DVD.
Yes, a dvd made by the actual Jingle Cats folks (which is really just
one unsung genius, Mike Spalla). I have always had a notion that
Jingle Cats is awesome at least for being crazy. Once I saw the movie
they made though, I realized that Jingle Cats is one of the most
amazing works of avant-garde art coming out of Los Angeles. Anyone
that loves Paper Rad, Dan Deacon, Tim & Eric, html art, Not Not Fun
collage art, and so much other art that pretty much defines the Glo-fi
generations or whatever they are calling it these days absolutely must
see this. Seriously. I have been watching this non-stop since getting
it.
Don't believe me? This clip is just one of many unique moments from
the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvYOm89IcUU
For more of my thoughts on this dvd and paypal:

----------------------------------------------------
Two amazing solo acts, both a part of the whole Men Who Can't Love /
Deep Jew history, are touring the US this March. Don't let that
history fool you, these guys are doing beautiful meditative music now.
I am helping them with booking some of the shows. If you would like
them in your town, please get in contact. BTW - Infinite Body's new LP
on PPM is one of the best releases of 2010 so far!


4. Linksville
--------------------
BITCHES have their debut vinyl out! A 7"! We'll get copies in the DBA

Also, Organ Magazine names the BITCHES 7" their single of the week:
http://www.organart.net/aaasingles2.htm

Jonathan from Captain Ahab did another soundtrack with Bear McCreary.
This time, an 8-bit one for a Capcom video game. The full score is yet
to be released (rumors that it might be free, but I haven't been able
to substantiate that) but in the meantime you can hear samples from
it, see footage and screengrabs from the game, and read about making
it at: http://www.bearmccreary.com/blog/?p=2974 oh! there is a funny
photo of Jonathan's studio there too!

Infamous early web-art site Your The Man Now Dog has done an homage to
Captain Ahab... damn, they've made it! http://grlsgnwld.ytmnd.com/

Hello Deathbomb Friends!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

Thank you to everyone that came out for the Captain Ahab video shoot. The footage I've gotten to see looks amazing. This will probably be the best Ahab video yet. A teaser cdr of songs (sort of/not really) from the upcoming album The End of Irony was given out at the shoot. Is that considered an official album leak? I guess the answer to that question is out of our hands now :)

Mincemeat or Tenspeed is getting some well-deserved press right now. Check out this review of his latest album in Pitchfork:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13777-strange-gods/
And a sweet questionaire with him in Dusted: http://dustedmagazine.com/features/879

This month he does a little Cali tour, in addition to playing the NHY / Smell Anniversary Fest. Here is his official announcement about it:

"For those five guys who care, and just so there's no suprises, Strange Gods is going to be the last record with the "no synthesizers, samplers sequencers ect." tag. I am the proud owner of a fancy fants sampler. No way out dudes.

DBA107 - Pro-Creation Rockers digital comp
http://deathbombarc.com/releases/dba107.htm

DBA106 - tik///tik 'Dormant Like Breath' cdr
http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/presale-tik-tik-dormant-like-breath-cdr
DBA old favorite tik///tik returns with a release perfect for winter. Perhaps his saddest to date? Begins with the sounds of being crushed by the sea, and continues into a lonely world beneath the waves. The Little Mermaid played in reverse.

DBA105 - Obsidian Pond 'Deep Ghosts' 3" cdr
http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/presale-obsidian-pond-deep-ghosts-3-cdr
Obsidian Pond is a magical loop based uk project that wowed us with their topical hypnosis music video for "Sundog Sinners", but Deep Ghosts takes a more metal turn, still in the dreaming genre.

Hello Deathbomb Friends,

So I've decided to put off releasing the new tik///tik, obsidian pond, and foot village tour comp until the first week of Jan. Fuck 2009, you know? Everyone is all excited for 2010 and I prefer to see these awesome releases come out in the birth of 2010 rather than in the last graveyard days of 2009. So, in this newsletter, instead of the usual release announcements and show listings, I'm just gonna recap the year a bit, for better and worse.

In 2009 Deathbomb Arc put out ZERO pro-pressed releases. That means no vinyl and no cds. Just cassettes and cdrs. I love them all, but it was sad to not be able to do any vinyl for sure. Sadly, it was a broke-ass year. Thank you so much to all the bands that worked with me to do awesome handmade releases though. I think that BITCHES and Blue Sabbath Black Fiji both saw a lot of awesomeness in 2009 and it was an honor to be a part of that. Both those bands are from the UK, and it is no coincidence that shit is blowing up in the UK right now. So many awesome bands from there. Many of them will appear on the Foot Village free digital tour comp coming out next week.

Here all the releases Deathbomb put out in 2009:

DBA102 - Dead Wife '700 Trillion Yen' cassette
DBA101 - Spirit Duplicator 'Tonight I'll Forget The English Language' cdr
DBA099s - secret tape
DBA099 - Lemon Bear 'Light Bright' cdr
DBA097 - Blue Sabbath Black Fiji 'Gemini' cdr
DBA096 - Puppy Dog 'Iridescent Blood' cassette
DBA095 - Puppy Dog / E&E / Kid Infinity / Kawaiietly Please 4way split cdr
DBA013 - BITCHES cassette

In March 2010 the vinyl drought ends though, as the new Captain Ahab album 'The End of Irony' comes out on double vinyl (and cd)!!!!


I got really into making blogs in 2009. That may be the Peter Pan in me. I think they are fun though:

Tween Tut [our lowbrow art blog] http://mummiesalive.tumblr.com/
Pray For Resurrection [comic book review blog] http://prayforresurrection.blogspot.com/
Return of the Mack [a blog for our cat, leroy] http://lordchillingsworth.blogspot.com/


The band I play in, Foot Village did a lot in 2009, mostly centered around our 3rd album 'Anti-Magic'. That said, the most disappointing event of the year was that the vinyl version of this still has not come out. This is due to some really stupid red tape. In that sense, I feel like the album still has not actually come out, cuz vinyl rules. Especially gatefold art vinyl! Supposedly they are done now, but being held hostage in some distro warehouse while they are closed for the holiday. That is cool though, cuz it means the album can come out in 2010 and be a part of kick the year off with true awesomeness. Brace yourself!!!!


What else can you expect in 2010? We're gonna be make a lot more visual art around here. More zines (did you get a copy of the one we did in 09, 'Pager Slang'?), a comic book (yes!), and tons of internet art (hey, we love it!). Also a new music project called Cool Tide and hopefully more vinyl than just the Ahab album.


See you there!

Love,
Brian

Hello Deathbomb Friends,

Before anything else, Melissa and I would like to give so much thanks to everyone that helped out with Leroy's vet costs. I'll post some cute pictures of the dude in his cone soon!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

As we approach the end of 2009, I have already told you that I won't have any top 10 music lists for the year. Not only does this week's newsletter make that a lie, but it also sets a bad example for announce best of 2009 stuff before 2009 is over. What about all the releases still coming out in the next 2 weeks? Like the mind-blowing Obsidian Pond 3" or tik///tik cdr or free online-compilation that Deathbomb is putting out :) Oh, but seriously, check out the bad axx art Seripop did for the online comp: http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/deathbomb-winter-09-batch-preorder

1. rRope unearthed!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Deathbomb top 10 songs of 2009
3. "Bones" 7" restock
4. Tween Tut, Pager Slang, etc
5. Links of love
6. Upcoming LA Shows


1. rRope unearthed!!!!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
As most of my friends already know, my favorite band of all time is rRope. From a time known as the mid 90s and a city still called San Francisco, these dudes were everything I hoped a band could be. Experimental but still aggressive, harsh but still dreamy, and speaking to every emotion in the spectrum. Unfortunately, their music is not easy to come by these days. But Mic, their drummer, just posted a bunch of live videos of them. This includes footage of their infamous final show, opening for Sonic Youth at the Filmore. I tell you, this shit is amazing. Check these videos out here: http://www.youtube.com/user/mlgendreau#p/u
And it seems like more keep getting added!
If you want to find out more about these dudes, just email me, I'm happy to help you out!
Also, Scott from rRope is doing a new band now called VNC. They will play the NHY/Smell Anniversary Fest this Jan!!!!!!


2. Deathbomb top 10 songs of 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------
Because I could not resist:

1. Dorrough "Ice Cream Paint Job"
2. Captain Ahab "Feel Anymore"
3. Clipse "I'm Good"
4. Alice In Chains "Check My Brain"
5. Das Racist "Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell (Wallpaper Remix) "
6. Kelly Clarkson "My Life Would Suck Without You"
7. VNC "Harm Guitar"
8. Big Digits “Making Progress”
9. Inca Ore "Ruff Ridin"
10. Pac Div "We The Champs"


3. "Bones" 7" restock
------------------------------------------------
Was able to get my hands on a few copies of the OOP Foot Village 7" for "Bones". It also has an early version of Chicken & Cheese II, and a cover of a Bjork/Alec Empire joint. Get it here: http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/foot-village-bones-7


4. Tween Tut, Pager Slang, etc
------------------------------------------------------
I've been into comics, blogs, visual art, etc non-music stuff a lot more lately. I'm actually working on a full length comic right now. But since that is a ways off, here is some other stuff to entertain yourself with.

TWEEN TUT is just simply a "fun stuff" blog that Melissa and I are doing: http://mummiesalive.tumblr.com/

Melissa and I also made a xerox art zine called Pager Slang. If you would like a copy, you just need to pay for S&H. Message me!


5. Links of love
-----------------------------
The Tleilaxu Music Machine is on yet ANOTHER free download xmas comp! Also on it are Melted Cassettes, Scissor Shock and a bunch more! http://www.archive.org/details/ChristmasasaurusVolume4Comp

Hello Deathbomb Friends!

Everyone is doing their best of 2009 lists. I see them all over the place. Honestly, I didn't listen to much new music this year, so I don't think I'll make one. I read tons of comics though! You'll prob see some sort of best of 2009 comic book list on my comic book blog: http://prayforresurrection.blogspot.com/ I did hear some awesome music, like the Gay Against You LP on Upset the Rhythm and the new VNC / Moore Brothers split 7". For the most part, I'm in the dark with music haps of 2010 though. So, if you want, send me some links to your favorite music of 2010. I would love to hear it!

What type of rowdiness has the internet generated for us this week?

How about a funny interview with Captain Ahab?: http://gayumbosezine.blogspot.com/2009/05/captain-ahab-if-i-see-my-sexual-partner.html

Or a strangely long overdue review of the Mincemeat or Tenspeed 12" on dba: http://www.foxydigitalis.com/foxyd/reviews.php?which=5068

How about Foot Village making it into Better Than Sex's best of the year list: https://www.blogger.com/blogin.g?blogspotURL=http://betterthansexmusic.blogspot.com/2009/12/years-finest-ii.html

Or this awesome review of Anti-Magic: http://tometotheweathermachine.blogspot.com/2009/12/foot-village.html

Hello Deathbomb Friends!

Back from Europe, working on getting things figured out here in confusing LA, and very happy with it all! Hope you had a wonderful November! What happened while I was gone? Let me know!!! Btw, get your mind right for a new band Melissa and I are doing called Cool Tide. More on that later though!

1. Deathbomb Winter Batch Pre-Order
2. Foot Village "Anti-Magic" now out on cassette!
3. Foot Village tour pics, text, video, love
4. More web madness!
5. Upcoming LA Shows


1. Deathbomb Winter Batch Pre-Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly after xmas we'll drop the last batch of releases for 2009! Then comes 2010 and the release of Captain Ahab's "End of Irony", but in the meantime, these are true axxkickers!

http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/deathbomb-winter-09-batch-preorder

Pre-Order for this Late-December 2009 batch:

DBA107 - various artists "Pro-Creation Rockers" download comp
DBA106 - tik///tik "Dormant Like Breath" cdr
DBA105 - Obsidian Pond "Deep Ghosts" 3"cdr

Obsidian Pond is a magical loop based uk project that wowed us with their topical hypnosis music video for "Sundog Sinners" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqPYzOaKCa8 , but Deep Ghosts takes a more metal turn, still in the dreaming genre.

DBA old favorite tik///tik returns with a release perfect for winter. Perhaps his saddest to date? Begins with the sounds of being crushed by the sea, and continues into a lonely world beneath the waves. The Little Mermaid played in reverse.

The digital comp brings together tracks from all the awesome bands that played with Foot Village on their recent Pro-Creation EU tour. It also includes an unreleased live track from Foot Village.

All this for the very low pre-order price of $8. Happy Holidays!


2. Foot Village "Anti-Magic" now out on cassette!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cassette version of Anti-Magic, released by Rock Is Hell, is available now! http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/foot-village-anti-magic-cd-lp

It features collaborations with Fortress of Amplitude, Tleilaxu Music Machine, Aids Wolf, Zombience, Navel Gazer, Lucky Dragons, No Babies, Cock Block, Poingly, Male Nudity, Alaskas, Radio Shock, The Press Fire!, & What Have The Unborn Done For Us? all NOT found on the cd and vinyl versions. It also sounds awesome!!


3. Foot Village tour pics, text, video, love
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of different documentation of the Foot Village EU tour is floating around the web. My favorite is this beautiful account of our Paris show... a show that was in many ways fucked.
http://alex.skazat.com/sketchbook/2009/11/foot-village.html

Many thanks to Mistaken Press for filming the entirety of our secret show in London, at Trinity Church. Watch it all here: http://vimeo.com/7844443

Here is a review of the show in Vanity Project: http://vanityprojectuk.wordpress.com/2009/11/15/foot-village-blue-sabbath-black-fiji-dalston-trinity-centre/

More video, here in Berlin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfUX27yEHg0

And the Subbacultcha! Fest we played in Amsterdam was filmed for dutch national television by VPRO, watch it all here: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/tv/#/42737643/42734270/0

Mistaken Press also did an interview with us: http://themistakenpress.blogspot.com/2009/11/pro-create.html


4. More web madness!
---------------------------------------------
One of my favorite mp3 blogs, No Not Fun Not No, posted a rip of the out-of-print Oscillator tape on Ecstatic Peace. Hey, I play drums on that! http://nonotfunnotno.blogspot.com/2009/11/oscillator-hollywood-groupies-rule.html

Tiny Mix Tapes reviewed Anti-Magic, sweet! http://www.tinymixtapes.com/Foot-Village,10097

HELLO!

Halloween is my favorite day of the year. When strangers visit your house, share stuff, and roam the streets. Should it be everyday? Of course. Is it? No. So it remains my favorite day. No hating here.

So, for today and today only (well, till sun-up tomorrow), Deathbomb is offering a 2 for 1 sale. Buy any item in the distro: http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/
and choose a 2nd item of equal or lesser cost for FREE! Buy 2 items and choose 2 more for free. Buy 10 items and get 10 additional for free. Etc. Just place your order via paypal and then email me at dbombarc@gmail.com to let me know what else you want. Or, if you need to mail in your payment, just email to reserve everything and confirm the price.

Thanks everyone! Happy Halloween!!!

Love,
Brian

HEY, DONT MISS THIS EVEN AT CINEFAMILY!:

HELL'S BELLS: The Cinefamily Mondo Remix
(featuring a live set by horror movie score tribute band Nilbog!)

If Halloween is the Devil's favorite holiday, then surely heavy metal is
his favorite music. Our Sound of Horror series ends with a mind-bending,
soul-stealing, ear-shattering tribute to the Satanic roots of heavy metal
-- from the born-again perspective. As our primary source material, we're
doing a remix of Hell's Bells -- an incredibly well-argued and researched
Craig Baldwin-esque video essay exposing heavy metal's awesome power to
corrupt our youth. Witness how rock and roll mocks Christ, tempts the
libido and promotes the worship of Satan, all through album covers, music
videos, backwards messages and occult iconography. Convincing as hell,
you'll believe rock n' roll is stuff of Beelzebub -- turn it up!

And, as our final piece of damning evidence, we present a live performance
from hell's houseband Nilbog (featuring members of Captain Ahab, Anavan
and Rose For Bohdan) specializing in covers of themes from our favorite
horror movies -- come hear their renditions of classic themes by Goblin,
John Carpenter, Ennio Morricone, Riz Ortolani and more!

Postage added if you are outside the US. Just make sure to email me (dbombarc@gmail.com) first to make sure someone else hasn't snagged your record.

Hello Deathbomb Friends,

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

(Sorry for being a day late on this newsletter, the massive amount of content took a while to organize. I think you'll be stoked though!)

A ton of content in the newsletter today. Foot Village's first music video from 'Anti-Magic', complete remix stems from 'Anti-Magic', tour into, more links, music, etc etc. But there is one piece of info that, after much debate, we decided NOT to share with you. There is a website that has leaked the cover art for Captain Ahab's upcoming 'End of Irony'. If you are good detective, you prob could figure it out. It would be tough though. Not impossible. Anyway, official leak coming soon, but we're curious if you can piece together enough hints from previous tweets and stuff to figure it out.

This week:
1. Cristopher Cichocki's music video for "Anti-Magic" by Foot Village
2. Complete remix stems for 'Anti-Magic'
3. Anti-Magic / Lifestraw promotion
4. New in our distro
5. Anti-Magic / Pro-Creation EU tour
6. Our new blogs
7. Words and Sound of the internet
8. A++ in NYC this weekend!!!!
9. Upcoming LA Shows


1. Cristopher Cichocki's music video for "Anti-Magic" by Foot Village
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are very excited to announce this music video for the title track from Foot Village's 'Anti-Magic'. Director and, as you will see, insane editor Cristopher Cichocki captures the energy of the band using brutal stop motion techniques that are guaranteed to make your head spin. Maybe don't watch if you are prone to seizures.
Lo-res of the video is here: http://vimeo.com/6630618
Or get a hi-res here: http://footvillage.org/videos/anti-magic-video
Also, the Table of Contents label is releasing a 3" dvd-r of Cristopher's work that includes this video and videos for All Leather and Zs. It is currently available for pre-order: http://thetableofcontents.com/


2. Complete remix stems for 'Anti-Magic'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who like making remixes, you now can download all the stems/seperations from Foot Village's 'Anti-Magic' for free. All we ask is that you share any creations and remixes you make from these with us. Also, if you don't have the money to buy the actual album, you could always just download these and mix a version for yourself.
Start downloading over 6.5 gigs of data here: http://footvillage.org/music/anti-magic-remix-kit


3. Lifestraw / Anti-Magic promotion
----------------------------------------------------------
Foot Village loves to work with lots of friends. For this reason, we ended up with 4 alternate versions of the new album, 'Anti-Magic'. The vinyl, cd, iTunes, and cassette edits of the album all have different collaborations. We'd love for you to hear them all, but understand that it is costly to buy 4 versions. To make this less annoying we not only are offering all 4 versions at a discount now, but also going to donate a portion of the money from these package sales to Lifestraw. Lifestraw is an easily distributed water filtering device that can significantly cut down the number of contaminated water related deaths around the world. While this device is not as full proof as others, it's low price and portability makes it an incredible way to improve this situation on a grand scale, more so than any other solution currently available.
So for $30, plus shipping, you will get the cd, vinyl, and cassette versions of the Foot Village's 'Anti-Magic'. Plus you will get a link to the digital-only tracks and a Lifestraw donated in your name.
For payment and more info: http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/foot-village-lifestraw-anti-magic-package


4. New in our distro

Hello Deathbomb Friends!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER SENT TO YOUR EMAIL, PLEASE SIGN UP AT http://deathbombarc.com

I had an awesome weekend. Bill from Rale is back in LA. Got to see a really playful Ahab performance at L'Keg (although I regret missing Mattress and Ezra). Really enjoyed seeing this mini-doc on one of my favorite MCs, Fatlip: http://pitchfork.com/tv/#/episode/1992-whats-up-fatlip/1 and Foot Village finished writing two new songs, "Lovers With Iraqis" and "Totally Tween" which we prob will play this thurs at the Smell. Oh, I'm also in love with this amazing time-line: http://www.rchoetzlein.com/art_theory_map.png ... plus things brewing a for a big fest at the Smell in Jan, epic SXSW plans, and more!

1. Foot Village's Chicken & Cheese 2 library is complete!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As most of you probably know by now, the final track on the new Foot Village album 'Anti-Magic' was made by collaging together dozens of bands covering Foot Village. So many bands in fact that the cd, vinyl, cassette, and iTunes versions of the albums all are different collages with totally different bands on them! But on 'Anti-Magic' you only get to hear a small part of each cover. So we have been working on putting all the covers online in their complete form. WFMU's Free Much Archive has helped us immensely with this project, and now you can hear the final additions to the library. Tracks from Lucky Dragons, Alaskas, No Babies, and many more! http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Foot_Village/Chicken_and_Cheese_covers/

To get a copy of 'Anti-Magic': http://deathbombarc.bigcartel.com/product/foot-village-anti-magic-cd-lp
