career - oh i am dead

"Time has come today,
Young hearts may go their way,
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what people say..."


A wise man once spoke those words, and what true words those are - my dear friends. Time has indeed come for the next Career release. I know you've all been clamouring for it, so finally and at last after all this time - Career's "Oh I am dead". Please click the glorious album cover above to get it. The album features 3-piece Career and rocks pretty well. Also, the record features 2 two songs with excellent vocals turns from LJ Cool Murph -"Familial relations" and "Where's your boner now?". The band is in fine form throughout, this is a must for dedicated fans and collectors!

"A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!"

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.
