BUFFER FULL

Wooooooooo I have a buffer up till the end of the month now! 

AND NOW TO REPEAT NEWS I MADE BEFORE:

AN ALBUM YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT

So, quick story.  All the way back in the halcyon days of 2007 or so, I started drawing comics and putting them on the internet, as you do.  At the same time, an incredibly excellent album came out that, against all odds, my friend Laura and I picked up at a Barnes and Noble.  This album was one of the few I got a hold of at the time that transformed me into the complete musical hipster I am today, and it holds up so incredibly well.  But the band, The Teeth, had never been all that popular despite a good amount of positive buzz, and in 2008 they broke up.  They very soon after (or at least, most of the original members, I believe) reformed as The Purples, which I had been WATCHING LIKE A HAWK after devouring the rest of The Teeth's absolutely ridiculously awesome discography back in 2007.  It was not until this year, after a scattering of demos, that they finally put out a single and announcned an album.  And lo and behold, against all hopes I had held for 7 years about hearing another album from these guys, they finally got the dang thing out two days ago and I have been listening to it nonstop since.  They even put it up on Bandcamp for me at my behest!  AWESOME.

Anywho, way back in 2007 when I was putting up my stupid little autobio comics, I said to myself, "man, if I ever get to be popular at all doing comics, I will use ALL OF MY FAME POWER to pimp out The Teeth."  Then they broke up.  Then, in 2008, I said to myself, "man, if I ever get to popular at all doing comics, I will use ALL OF MY FAME POWER to pimp out The Purples." And you know what?  I ain't famous, but I do have people reading Metacarpolis, and DAMN IT, YOU ARE GOING TO PIMPED TO.  ALL WEEK, IF NECESSARY.  AND ALL SUBSEQUENT WEEKS, FOREVER.  And you know what else?  They made it even easier for me by putting their album up at Bandcamp so I can just say to you guys GO TO BANDCAMP AND LISTEN TO THAT SHIT AND IF YOU LIKE IT THROW MONEY AT THEM SO YOU CAN HAVE THOSE SWEET SWEET ONES AND ZEROES ON YOUR COMPUTER.  They also put the album on iTunes, and they are selling a sweet vinyl+digital download deal over on their website.  Nancy is a great album and I want to see these guys succeed so I can continue to get new music, see?  So go listen to that shit post-haste.  It's got, like, rock, and actual moving bass lines, and oh my god you guys just go buy it.
