Career - Ringbang: Tribute to Mighty Gabby

Due to increasing paranoia over a pre-release leak, Career's new release "Ringbang: Tribute to Mighty Gabby" will be released one day early (ie. now). The tracklisting is below - highlighted by a rejected 3-song demotape recorded for Thrilljockey records, recorded with McEntire/Herndon/Bitney. Other highlights include the video edit of "deep purple", a mashed-up radio-friendly edit of the 40-minute tapestry, 2 outtakes apiece from "tidal boweavil spectre" and "twins", and lots more. You will enjoy this. It is dedicated to Steve Ferguson, founding guitarist of NRBQ, who passed away this past Wednesday. 13 tracks spread over 2 cds or one computer.

career - ringbang - tribute to mighty gabby

After a long hiatus, Career will return with their annual thanksgiving release on Tuesday October 13th, 2009 - 'Ringbang: Tribute to Mighty Gabby". It is Career's 50th release - a collection of tracks from throughout the life of Career that were deemed to far advanced for mass comsumption at the time of recording. Now, the winds of shit whistling in the trees and Obama in the White House, the time is right for these tracks to see the light of day. The cover is below. NO LEAKS! Happy gold anniversary Career!

Song Poem Archives

If you haven't already dicovered them, here is wfmu's fantastic tabulation of all ASPMA song poems conveniently packaged into separate volumes. do not feel daunted by the breadth of material nor feel obliged to grab all of them from the beginning, each one is a separate work of art unto itself.

& the collections themselves. again, i'd say these come highly recommended, but who would listen anyway.

reviews:

"There’s an air of authenticity to the proceedings here, and stylistic pretension never obscures good storytelling."
-charles de gaulle

"It's not colourful, it's not fun, it's just a gaudy mess of bad aesthetic choices and cruddy CGI."

-shia laboeuf

"Intense, graphically novelistic (though it’s an original story) and just funny enough to keep you thoroughly entertained, even while the subtext is of a very serious nature."

-1992 world series mvp pat borders

---------------------------------------------------------------

finally - here is the final unreleased career video hit - for a section of "deep purple". please enjoy.

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman

career - twins

rhythm nation and reelcod recs present rhythm nation #47 career's 'twins". this features career in quartet formation, playing 9 interpersonal displays of affection, featuring one sy-inspired vestibule, as well as several beautiful kazoo/alto sax duets. hope you folks can dig it!

praise for 'twins":

"Excepting a gaping logic loophole at its center, this is surprisingly well-directed and entertaining from start to finish."

-Jammy Jeffries, NBCTV

"Occasionally fetching but largely overdeliberate and way too plodding for a quality psychological thriller."

-Burton Cummings

"Direly dreadful from start to finish, its self-conscious eccentricity is both smug and invidious."

-Ted Williams and James Brown in unison

" It's ultimately a failure due to such a poppycock follow-through that seriously undermines such a understatedly-frightening first-half."

-Cammy Granato, USA Hockey

All the best,
