Ready our eulogy (with video!) over on ‘Sup…

Yup, August 14th 2004. Time flies when you’re chasing photopasses. Thanks to everyone in this labor of love, this project is such a team effort it’s no joke. Shout out to my mum whose amazing faith and patience know no bounds. Holla! Next year = BLOW OUT PARTY

Please enjoy our new fave track: Esser : Headlock Mp3 (YSI)

Yes, *THE* one and only Like a Virgin video. The one where she glides across the East River only to navigate the Grand Canals of Venice. I totally remembered something, too! The lion itself wasn’t allowed onto the main clump of islands- that segment was filmed on Giudecca Island, across the canal. That lil’ fact was quite comforting as we had to trudge through those very columns and into a musty monastic library to do research during grad school. That, and the fact that stage right was a deli where you could bring your own empty liter bottles to fill from tapped vats of wine. Which in turn might have had us recreating the lion’s steps after hours, or perhaps the un-immaculate one’s own choreography. See, it’s the circle of life! and we wonder why American exchange students get a bad rap!

PS if you ever live in Venice don’t drink to the point of incapacitation, because there really is no way to get a cab home. We’re talking miles of back alleys and foot bridges. No room for cars, and boats will only get you so far. It’s an incredibly romantic notion but a bit challenging to navigate if you are, you know, carrying another person.

Oasis have signed a North American distro deal with our pals at Warner Brothers Records. Take a gander at the first single below, and if it’s been removed check the direct link *HERE*

1) This show was Supergrass‘ only headlining gig on the US tour (except the spontaenous club show in Denver after Foos show got cancelled), and they seemed uber-stoked to play a longer set, to THEIR fans, and to a receptive NYC crowd. The band was definitely into it and it showed in their very playful, very good moods.
