record (4)

Dear friends at WASTE CENTRAL,

Just an update to the previous post. We (Papermaps) finished our record (it's being "pressed" as I write this) -- its new "street drop date" is April 19th, 2011. The name of the record is simply, Papermaps. It has beautiful cover artwork painted a Canadian fine artist named, Miyoshi Kondo. This is happening because we signed to an indie label here in Canada called Sparks Music. They have a nation-wide distribution network. As a result we will be touring Central Canada April 15-29, playing about 8 towns/cities. In October we will embark on an East-Coast tour (including Montreal). Canada is an impossibly large country! Maybe one day (soon) we'll get to play outside Canada -- hopefully the UK. Our deal is small in the sense that physical albums will only ship within Canada (special orders being an exception), but what does it matter in this day and age? Come late April, you can find us on itunes or (even better) bandcamp. Right now we have a 7-inch single available on both bandcamp and insound.

I've taken down a few songs and uploaded a new one to called, Can't Make a Living. It's the 3rd track on the album. There's a few more songs floating around "out there" on the internet, if you are interested.

cheers,

Yes folks, this is the news we all await for and it is now a reality. Be excited... Be very excited.

Best news ever!!... [Via--Ateaseweb.com]There’s been a lot of speculation on Radiohead’s next album. Would it ever be recorded? Or would be just get digital tracks, EP’s or whatever made the press. Ed O’Brien confirmed that a new Radiohead album (yes, album) is in the making.It was the interview in The Believer that kick-started a lot of rumours on Radiohead’s future. Thom Yorke told the magazine: “None of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again.(…) But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into that again. It’ll kill us.” The news hit the press worldwide.Radiohead have spent this Summer in the studio, releasing tracks online like ‘Harry Patch (In Memory Of)’ and ‘These Are My Twisted Words’. This sort of seemed like they were serious about not releasing albums in the future. But guitarist Ed O’Brien has confirmed that the band is in fact interested in recording more albums and the follow-up to ‘In Rainbows’ is actually in the making.Ed O’Brien told NME that with sessions planned this winter the band would “definitely” be releasing a full album physically next year. “We were misquoted,” claimed O’Brien of Yorke’s comments, loudly adding, “WE WILL BE MAKING AN ALBUM!” Although he said the band hadn’t decided how it would be released, he said the album would come out on vinyl and CD whether it first arrived as a download or not.“We love the artwork; that’s really important, the physicality,” he explanied. “And we all like vinyl. That’s not going to go away. I still like CDs as well. I got the Speech Debelle CD the other day – I nearly downloaded it from iTunes but I thought, ‘No. I want the physical thing.’”O’Brien wouldn’t be drawn on specific tracks, but suggested that recent free download ‘There Are My Twisted Words’ was not a marker for the album.On releasing ‘These Are My Twisted Words’ online he said: “It’s a kind of one-off. It could have been a darker side of ‘In Rainbows’ – it’s got that autumnal vibe, we’re leaving the summer and going into the darkness.”He added that with Radiohead set to reconvene in their Oxfordshire studio this winter, the season might similarly affect the new songs. “Typical Radiohead,” he laughed. “We’re going into the studio in winter. It’s always miserable! Are we at the whim of the seasons? We are! When you’re in a studio in the countryside, the music you make is definitely affected by what season it is.”

Record Store Day!!!!!

Here at last! I guess I'll be hanging out at Manifest for a while tomorrow - which is bad! I'm poor, I can't afford to go spending a bunch of money, but they're going to have such good sales! I think they're going to be getting in some R.E.M. 7" vinyls too. I might watch a show or two there, maybe finally check out that band Villanova. Haven't heard them at all, but I keep hearing that funk-rock fans usually like them so I guess I'll see. Its free, so may as well.God I love Manifest lol. I really think I NEED to get a job there next summer lol. Course I'd never bring home a paycheck...
