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?<\/p>\n

Fangio<\/em>\u2014the album-length sequel to a song I wrote for my Casio-powered solo project, Party of One, in 1987, a song that imagined five-time Formula One World Champion and Argentine folk hero Juan Manuel Fangio<\/a> piloting a Saab 900 Turbo SPG across the Andes mountains on a covert mission to assassinate Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet\u2014currently sits in pit lane, crew scurrying about, final preparations being made before advancing to the starting grid.<\/p>\n

There are ten songs, and their titles are as follows:<\/p>\n

01 Operational Detachment Juan Manuel Fangio
\n02 El Narcoavi\u00f3n
\n03 My God Is An Angry God (Juan Manuel Fangio Castiga los Pecados del Mundo)
\n04 La Consciencia Intranquila de Juan Manuel Fangio
\n05 Edwardian Gray
\n06 Bebe’s Song
\n07 El Hombre Mas Macho
\n08 Compared to Their Predecessors, Today’s Politically Motivated Kidnappers Are Total Dicks
\n09 Los Viejos
\n10 Beat Your Halfshafts Into Swords (The Radicalization and Redemption of Juan Manuel Fangio)<\/p>\n

That’s too much music to fit on a single LP, so Fayettenam<\/a> will release the album in two parts: the first two songs as a 7″ single, the rest to follow on a 12″ LP; all of the songs will be available as digital downloads as well. The single and album sleeves will be silkscreened and gorgeous, you have my word.<\/p>\n

Also gorgeous? The insanely, pants-shittingly awesome video<\/em> I just made with former Jalopnik contributor<\/a>, Bob Mould backup singer, fugitive from Albanian justice, and all around cars-and-music Renaissance man Davey G. Johnson<\/a>, during the shooting of which the above photo was taken. It’s for “My God Is an Angry God,” and we’ll be putting it up around the same time the single is ready to go (with a sneak preview possible earlier if you’re paying attention here, hint hint).<\/p>\n

Target date for all of this ridiculousness: June. Official countdown starts now.<\/p>\n

In the meantime:<\/strong> I’m playing a stealthy show here in Rochester tomorrow night, at Casa del Awesome<\/a>. Contact Brian<\/a> for directions and info!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
