Anyone know if they plan to ever release another record, and if so, will that record be made available on compact disc?

And whatever happened to Blonde Redhead?

I asked T&G this just a couple of weeks ago: No news at all. But when I saw them last fall, they played three new songs. So there's hope at least.

So there'll be a three-song, limited edition 500 copies, black vinyl single that I won't buy because it'll be sold out before I can get one and I don't have/want a record player....

... but it wouldn't matter anyway because it plays at 500 RPM for better sound quality and comes on 7,000,000 KG/square inch extra virgin vinyl forged from the hearts of blacks holes for that true analog loyalist sound BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!!...

shellac is playing a couple of shows at the beginning of july in illinois.

the e-mail that was sent out about it mentioned something or other about the shows being a test to see if todd's back is up to par. guess that must mean he had some sort of back troubles... the southern records page doesn't mention anything of either the back troubles or the shows, though, so who knows?

according to southern records, blonde redhead will be playing some shows around california/vancouver/seattle/portland around the end of the month.

One of these days I really hope they put out at least those first two 7's as a CD. I'd buy one. I recorded mine off of my old dodgy turntable and burned a disc, but it kind of sounds lame. "Wingwalker" and "Doris" are two of their best songs.

Blonde Redhead has recorded a new album and is talking to several record labels.

(I know this 'cause I recorded my recent one at the studio where Blonde Redhead records & the studio people are pals with them - they say the new stuff's unbelievable but unfortunately I was unable to get to hear any of it)

Todd's back problems were reported on the Southern site a while back, they were cos of an accident.

still waiting for that new album Shellac...I've heard a lot of work has been done on it...no release date though...I'm wondering if the death of Loder who usualy masters their stuff is holding things up now....

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 22 August 2005 14:05 (7 years ago) Permalink

from the Touch & Go site:

"Membership:
Steven Frank Albini - electric guitar
Todd Stanford Trainer - drum set
Robert Spurr Weston IV - electric bass guitar

Band information:
While there is no specific coordination between Shellac's record
releases and touring schedules, you can expect the band to tour at
its usual sporadic and relaxed pace.

Current:
Shellac will have a new LP anytime between now and 2007."

Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 22 August 2005 14:21 (7 years ago) Permalink

this came up during the question and answer period of the show yesterday. Weston said the new material is almost all recorded, but they hadn't even begun to think about packaging yet and that "could take a while."

>they hadn't even begun to think about packaging yet and that "could take a while."

The new record will be an edition of one, packaged inside a car a la Merzbow. The delay comes from designing a system of gyros so the vinyl won't skip while the car is in motion, because it'll be vinyl-only, of course.

Trainer opined that a 12" jewel box would really make the product stand out at Wal-mart.

chëshy (chëshy f cat), Monday, 22 August 2005 15:44 (7 years ago) Permalink

i hope they do what they did for 1000 hurts, where you got the vinyl box, it came with a loose CD pressing of the record...that was a great deal...

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 22 August 2005 15:50 (7 years ago) Permalink

Actually, wasn't John Golden in L.A. the guy who mastered their stuff to date, and not John Loder? (Sorry to be pedantic at the expense of Loder, R.I.P.)

donut floccinaucinihilipilification (donut), Monday, 22 August 2005 16:52 (7 years ago) Permalink

Golden has doen many Albini and Weston recordings, but Loder mastered all the Shellac records.

I'm sure the new record will be worth the wait when it is finally released

chris besinger (chris besinger), Monday, 22 August 2005 16:55 (7 years ago) Permalink

If "The End Of Radio" is any indication, I agree.

Damn. I was hit hard when i heard the news of Loder, and now I'm still getting hit. :(

why on earth do they wanna play the W.O.W. hall, good Lord

Cindy Sherman I'm Your #1 Fan (J0hn D.), Saturday, 7 March 2009 03:24 (4 years ago) Permalink

once again (as i believe you posted on their previous stop in seattle) ,thanks for the advance notice. making plans to catch the vera show again.

drone/a/sore, Sunday, 8 March 2009 00:05 (4 years ago) Permalink

Yay, W1ll! I know a lot of folks from Vancouver are already planning this out. (I think most of the audience at the last stop were from BC. When Bob asked for bills, I forget the joke that prompted that, most everyone held up $CDNs)

BTW, The Vera has moved since 2005. It's actually in the Seattle Center now, just blocks away from Easy Street Records in Lower QA, right next to where the QFC used to be. 1st Ave N and Republican St. are the nearest cross streets. It's also a much bigger and kinda weirder space.

"why on earth do they wanna play the W.O.W. hall, good Lord"

Some of the most classic concerts of my life, I saw at WOW Hall.

Fugazi on the Repeater tour with Beat Happening and Calamity Jane.
Melvins on Eggnog tour (Joe Preston on bass). Also again for Lysol (Lorax on bass).
Jesus Lizard on the Liar tour with Jon Spencer opening.
Alice Donut on Untidy Suicides tour.
Thinkin Fellers with Mudwimmin.
Nomeansno on the Wrong tour with Victim's Family.

And more recently, Isis with Mogwai.

I kick myself now for not going to Sleep on Holy Mountain tour supporting Hawkwind.

the architecture of horniness (askance johnson), Sunday, 17 January 2010 15:37 (3 years ago) Permalink

That's amazing. It's good to see that Albini can drop the cynicism, misanthropy and sarcasm when it counts. On a dog owner's program.

Doran, Sunday, 17 January 2010 16:03 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah in the spring and summer sometimes i would look out my office window and see todd, all vampirish in black, walking his lil' doggie around, so cute.

i don't know him but i've found that everyone i know who has actually dealt with or knows albini IRL says he is super nice and awesome...people that say "oh he's such a dick" tend to not know him irl.

Na'vi Girls (Need Love Too) (M@tt He1ges0n), Sunday, 17 January 2010 16:06 (3 years ago) Permalink

I was joking. I've heard that Albini is actually a pretty nice guy if you meet him. It was more how he usually comes across in interviews that I was talking about.

Doran, Sunday, 17 January 2010 16:11 (3 years ago) Permalink

awesome video!! wonder if uffizi tours with 'em.

I wasn't quite in the right headspace for STNNNG when they were on, but I think that's more due to me than anything about the band! I was kind of thrown off by a lot of things, having just been in a car and then getting dinner having a lot to do with it.

what they need to do is release some sort of definitive amazing live album.
