A healthy outlook can take you anywhere. take it from me.
with less than a week left before the official tour kick off, things are feeling sort of insurmountable. Which is to say, typical. Between now and Thursday, I must successfully plan materials to cover my job four weeks in advance, complete a daunting feature on teen pop stars, write the words to three new songs, learn said songs, get my brakes fixed, wash my socks, come to terms with the fact that I will have no air conditioning on this trip, loose several quality lbs., and kiss my sweet ass goodbye. I can do this.
I again have the Internet at home, which is making matters considerably more comfortable.
My friend Adrian Orange recently released ANOTHER record (which I will invariable have to pay for) called Welcome/Nowhere—a sort of companion volume to the record that Slender Means Society and States Rights Records recently released. Although I can't support it's claims of greatness (see above parenthetical), I imagine that he and that Elverum fellow know what they're doing.
Please check out the updates to the Performances page of this very site for information on our potential rendezvous'. Also, stay tuned for a .pdf download of our "rediscovering anti-semitism" tour poster—and make sure you check out the totally huge and ridiculous promo photo in the pictures section. Because honestly, without you, our lives are of very, very little consequence.
Love Indefinitely,
Zac Pennington

hi zac.
if your blooomington thing doesnt work out let me know and we can short notice set something up in ann arbor. even though you are already playing detroit which is close this will be after school starts and a gauranteed place to stay and whatever.
also, i can burn copies of some of the "what a girl wants" cds for you for your trip if you would like.

Posted by: sarah at August 15, 2004 12:47 AMThank you, m. Sarah. I think we may need to take you up on that.
Posted by: Zac Pennington at August 15, 2004 12:01 PMIt is hot out there but you guys are tough. I am in Denton, TX. Good luck.
Posted by: scott at August 22, 2004 10:14 AMSaw you last night in Grand Rapids, MI and a few slight although pressing questions arose.
1. Zac -- you are a completely androgonous creature. Part of the schtick?
2. Are you aware of the band The Durutti Column? Kind of a simmilar thing going on, although a bit more ambient than you.
3. What kind of a synth do you guys use? Got some solid sine wave human destroying signals out of that funk box.
4. Tone down the self-righterousness a bit and your band definitely has potential.
Occasionally I like pretending I'm a big time record exec.
1. heavy schtick.
2. no.
3. 80s realistic as manufactured by moog.
4. thanks?
Posted by: zac at August 27, 2004 03:24 PMCheck out Durutti Column, your kind of thing. Early 80s Factory Records, though not at all like Joy Division.
Posted by: David Allen at August 28, 2004 12:34 PMHey,
I also saw you in G-Raps.
Awesome Show. I enjoyed you dudes very much.
I'll probably see you in Ann Arbor if you come.
