Wikipedia also lists a new single titled "Fortune Teller’s Revenge.”Searching around for those titles just seems to retrieve inactive pages of online record shops; I apologize for being momentarily irked by the garbled webcache link above.

I like it but it sounds like a demo.

This song is good, not as good as the high points of their oeuvre but little is

Anyone buying tickets to these new shows? I don’t think I’ll have a fully vaccinated household yet by November (and they’re playing in like my least favorite L.A. venue).

I don't mind the El Rey that much, but after seeing them several times back then I'm kinda unexcited? I want to hear how the shows are first. I'm there if they play all of Blueberry Boat.
Fred Armisen on the bill is a huge turn-off.

i have never seen them and hope to one day. i just can't see being inside for a show at the moment and i'm vaccinated. if this was outdoors i might have been more tempted.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them but I’m not going to Brooklyn this year

(Or to any shows this year honestly)
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 27 August 2021 20:11 (two years ago) link
yah, I should reiterate that I'm not going to any shows this year too.

Anyone see any of the shows? Looks like they’re back in the studio (per Eleanor’s Instagram). I poked around to see if they’ve done any new interviews, but none that I can find. That’s interesting to me—they did a lot of press back in the day, Matt always had a lot to say, they were very active online, etc. Now, their “engagement” seems limited to Eleanor’s social media… Matt is silent, as far as I can tell. An interviewer would almost surely ask them why they went on such an abrupt (and lengthy) hiatus, and maybe they don’t want to talk about that? There must be a story there. It’s not like they just petered out… they had various projects going in 2009:
The last time we talked you had an extravagant rock opera in the works. Do you still have plans to do this?MF: We are going to do that. Eleanor was never into it, but now, since we have put out our regular record, we’ll be doing these short little operas live. We might record them live, or eventually record them in the studio, but it won’t be a part of our normal record releasing cycle. Does that make any sense? So we’ll play a different set of shows in which we present our rock opera and maybe we’ll put it out in some form, but really it’s about playing it. Then we have our normal records on the side.So then what’s the Democracy in America project all about?MF: That’s a different thing too. It’s actually Dem-Rock-cracy in America. But the next thing we have is a silent record where we don’t provide any audio. In other words, we have a record but the fans play the songs. It will be in book form with sheet music and instructions. Dem-Rock-cracy is a set of us playing music written or determined by things that fans have given us, like bits of paper from their purse or receipts. It’ll be a normal recording, but first it will just be vinyl.

I suspect the spigot will open again once the album is on the verge of coming out, or once wider touring is underway at least.

Ah - I thought the L.A. show was this past week. I’m tempted, but a Wed. night show is pretty rough stuff…
