<\/a><\/p>\nSo yeah, as I’m sure many reading this are aware, it’s July now. But I only called it a “target date<\/a>,” didn’t I? Not every shot is a bullseye.<\/p>\n New and final release dates, and to quote Scott at Fayettenam<\/a>, this is a “hard deadline”:<\/p>\n 7″: August 10<\/strong> That’s the cover of the LP above. The vaunted video will be up when the single drops. Yet to come: an exhaustive listener’s guide, a Fangio timeline, downloadable posters, Fangio: the Novelization<\/em>, a feature-length film. Better not to hold your breath on the last two, maybe. Seriously though, we’re putting together a full-on assault. When it’s over, people who google “Fangio” will see pictures of Saabs. I am bending the fabric of reality to my will!<\/p>\n Meanwhile: in the fine tradition of Inland Empire tribute albums<\/a> past comes\u00a0Smooth Sounds: The Future Hits of Wckr Spgt<\/a><\/em>, the Shrimper 20th anniversary<\/a> compilation. Thirty-six Shrimper alums\u2014including the likes of Refrigerator, the Mountain Goats, Lou Barlow, Franklin Bruno, Simon Joyner, Charlie McAlister, and Jad freakin’ Fair fercryinoutloud\u2014interpret\u00a0Wckr Spgt<\/a> songs penned exclusively for the purpose. The one I was assigned afforded me the opportunity to make real a long-threatened idea for something called Joel Division: Spgt songs sung in the manner of Ian Curtis.
