How are there no remixes of this? Sure, there’s the death metal thing, but that’s not the same. This deserves the “Shane Lee Remix” treatment.

Also: “I can see, as your king, as ya arms BLEED. Horror-struck, huh? Army truck!”

Next up from Earmark Saints: The Preacher Baby Remix Album.

Well, maybe not.

thank you, god, for the subtitles. otherwise i’d be scared out of my mind.

Live at D Note for the Birambye International fundraiser. Doesn’t include the last few songs, as the iPhone battery died. A few fits and starts (if the second video hangs on you near the beginning, just drag the slider a few seconds forward and the rest should be fine), but considering this was streamed live from the show, we’re not complaining. The future is an amazing place to live. Next show: flying cars and square meals in pill form.

Setlist:
Perfect Day (Lou Reed)
Ghosts of Reminiscence
Superexistence
Appalachia
Attack
Americana
I’ll Be Damned
Get Back
Red Planet
Miracle Pill
Foggy Mountain Top (traditional)
Connection (Elastica)*
Singing in the Acid Rain*
Vaccine Contented Entertainment*
No Other Girl*

*-Not in video

This is remarkable. AND he’s playing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra tonight. AND Jonathan Coulton’s playing at Soiled Dove. AND there are probably a dozen other interesting things going on tonight.

But if you happen not to be attending any of them, do drop by the Meadowlark and spend some time with the Saints. We’ll give you hugs. I’m not sure if Chris Thile or Jonathon Coulton will give you hugs, but you might not want to risk the disappointment …

sharingtime:

I am going to watch Chris Thile play the bejesus out of his mandolin tonight with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.

I never thought there’d be a time in my life where I’d be excited to see a man play a mandolin with an orchestra. But I’m actually smiling as I type this. Oh, the orchestra’s also going to play Rhapsody in Blue.

Can’t wait. Can’t wait. Can’t wait.

Shows, Sounds, and Shirts

We’ve added two upcoming shows to the sidebar. The first is Aug. 14 at Larimer Lounge, while the second is Sept. 17 at The Meadowlark.

We’ve also added a link to CDBaby, where you can buy our album, Singing in the Acid Rain, on CD. If plastic discs offend your 21st century sensibilities, the album will be available on iTunes soon. We’ll post an update here when that happens.

Finally, we’ll have T-shirts at next show. So, if you’ve already seen us in person and are wondering, “What, besides the rock, will get me to the next Earmark Saints show?” you’ve now got your answer: T-shirts. Sweet.

This is not a test

Well, it might be a test, but we’re not going to tell you until after we know whether you’ve passed.

If you’re going to be in Denver on Friday night, you’re probably going to want to be eating barbecue and drinking sweet tea with us at Moe’s. We’ve got a stack of tickets for Friday night’s show. They are not as high as an elephant’s eye. They are not what brings all the boys to the yard. They are, however, free as a bird. Email us with a clever subject line like “I Want to Eat Barbecue with Earmark Saints OMGLOLBBQ” and we’ll hook you up with some tickets. The barbecue’s on you.

After the feasting, if everything goes as scheduled, we’ll hop up on stage and get the party started around 9 pm. The New Ben Franklins and Three Miles West will then proceed to take it to the bridge.

I can’t tell if there are enough links in this post.
