[Eric Johnson ] Re: OV: new album from Justin in April? [Cassie ] Re: OV: new album from Justin in April? [Alison Bellach Subject: OV: new album from Justin in April? Just happened to look at Justin's MySpace page, and this was posted a week-ish ago. ***** from Jusin's blog: Congratulations, you have made it through the Zeros, the most miserable and hopeless decade since the nineteen-forties. You can now forget all about nuclear, chemical and environmental annihilation. It didn't happen here, just somewhere else. Baby, we survived. Does anybody fancy a pint? To commemorate the unlucky who didn't make it and celebrate the continued existence of the smiling somnambulant I am announcing the release of "The Great War", quite possibly the happiest record ever made. Recorded in two small lumps in winter and autumn 2009, "The Great War" will be released on Ryko sometime in April when it will still be snowing all over the world and most of the England World Cup squad will be nursing freshly broken metatarsals. "The Great War" differs from "What Is Love For" in several ways. It is not specifically designed to push the weak-willed and suicidal over the edge of the abyss. It is a rock group record, performed live on the whole, prominently featuring two electric guitarists. It is mainly prescribed for those who desire the elevator operator selects an upper floor. Those who seek the comforting melancholy of the basement are advised to take the stairs - we'll be with you soon enough after we take a brief glimpse of how this city looks on a clear January afternoon, steam pouring from roofs and the white tops of hills on the horizon. ***** There are a few new (to me) songs streaming there as well ("In My Heart, The War Goes On", "The Way That It Falls", "What You're Looking At", and a cover of "Strawberry Fields Forever") No idea if these are from the new release mentioned on the blog, or if this release is the album he has been writing with Iain, or something compeltely new? In any event, something to look forward to in April! Eric ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 09:06:40 -0700 From: Cassie Subject: Re: OV: new album from Justin in April?

Oh look another self publicising whore : ) I want to know who posted Justins latest blog on myspace as it really really does not sound like him, at times he sounds almost almost pleasant. - ------Original Message------ From: Alison Bellach To: cjvg79@gmail.com To: ericmj1@gmail.com Cc: oppositeview@smoe.org Sent: 8 Jan 2010 11:05 PM Subject: Re: OV: new album from Justin in April?
