Fangio Listener’s Guide, Part II:
The Songs, ExplainedThat’s me, actually, not Fangio. Read the full story at the reliably awesome Clunkbucket. Pleased to report that as of this week Fayettenam is not just taking but filling orders for both the 7″ single and the LP. They exist! Today, in celebration of this fact, some further elaboration to enhance your listening experience.
Fangio Update: 7″ Out Today… Sort Of
So here’s the deal: it’s still indie rock, and sometimes, when you’re doing super-limited, tiny runs of things, pressing plants aren’t always as cooperative as you’d like them to be. So yeah, the actual, physical 7″ single we’ve been promising? It doesn’t quite exist yet. The covers look great though! And we have been assured [...]
My God Is An Angry God: The Video
Davey does a better job of explaining how this happened than I can. The brief was Grand Prix meets Alphaville. How’d we do?
Fangio Listener’s Guide, Part I:
The Illustrated TimelineIt’s time, folks. Today, a little history to get you up to speed. Bold bits link to images and are worth checking out for contextual immersion’s sake. Enjoy! 1895 October 8: Juan Perón born in Lobos, Buenos Aires, Argentina 1899 August 24: Jorge Luis Borges born in Buenos Aires, Argentina 1911 June 24: Juan Manuel [...]
Fangio update; Smooth Sounds out now
So yeah, as I’m sure many reading this are aware, it’s July now. But I only called it a “target date,” didn’t I? Not every shot is a bullseye. New and final release dates, and to quote Scott at Fayettenam, this is a “hard deadline”: 7″: August 10 LP: September 7 That’s the cover of [...]
¡Fangio ya viene!
I know it seems like I’ve been talking about this forever, but cut me some slack: it was only this time last year that the songs even started getting written. And now? Well look at that shit, will you? Fangio—the album-length sequel to a song I wrote for my Casio-powered solo project, Party of One, [...]
January News and Announcements! (Back to Me)
Big news: Fangio has a home. Look for vinyl and online releases forthcoming from Fayettenam Records this spring. Totally stoked about this. More details soon. Also notable: This has been up for a little while now, but here’s an interview I did with our old friend Anisse Gross where I’m asked about Facebook, Auto-Tune, and [...]
Reminder de Rock
Just a reminder for those in the NYC area that I’m playing tomorrow at Union Hall. Set times have been shuffled so it looks like I’ll be going on third of four, around ten, and just doing a short set. I promise to bring it, though. And you’ll want to stick around for Franklin, too. [...]
Progress Report
A phrase from my youth I seem to remember only being used paradoxically; being sent home from school with one invariably indicated a lack of progress, and usually meant you were in trouble. I report to you now with a similar sheepishness, having promised more frequent updates than have been forthcoming, but whatever: this is [...]
I’ll Be Damned, I’m Playing Some Shows
Two of them: at home this coming Sunday, July 5, at the Bug Jar in Rochester, and the next night, Monday, July 6, at Mohawk Place in Buffalo; you’ll wanna check with the venues for set times and whatnot, as I sure as hell can’t tell you. Both shows are with Manishevitz alumni Sonoi, from [...]
