Hey kids! Did you know our little podcast was featured in the September issue of Spin Magazine? We can’t believe it either. Check out the article here.

“Walk the Line”, the new Johnny Cash bio-pic, opened yesterday and I am curious as to what the donewaiting.com population has to say about the film. If you’ve seen it, give us your reviews in the comments.

I realize the post title sounds like it’s all about porno, but we’re talking about the singer of Neutral Milk Hotel folks, get your mind out of the gutter.

Anyway, he sang for about 30 seconds the other night at the Elf Power show.

And the mystery continues…

Over here, on NJ.com, you can watch 10 minutes of live solo material from Springsteen’s concert the other day at the Continental Airlines Arena.

Bruce performs ‘Devils & Dust’, ‘Long Time Comin’ and ‘Backstreets’.

Fun Rob Duffy Fact: NJ.com was my first internet job a long, long time ago.

The time for teasing is over.

The “surprise” album, alluded to in our previous mail, is “If You’re Feeling Sinister: Live At The Barbican”. This download-only album, which pisses all over any bit torrents you may have heard, will be available exclusively from iTunes on December 6th. As a further incentive to follow the path of righteousness, all proceeds will be donated to the DEC’s Asia Quake Appeal.

The year ain’t over, but the donewaiting.com message board community recently started a most disappointing albums of 2005 discussion.

I’m not a big fan of lists, whether it’s coming from Spin, Rolling Stone, or bloggers. Regardless, it’s interesting to see what some of my peers (and enemies) have to say about the top American bands of 2005.

I don’t think you’re gonna learn anything new, and some of the quotes are pretty cornball, but still, it’s a good read.

“The Life Pursuit”, released in the UK/Europe on Feb 6th by Rough Trade Records. Released a day later in the US by our old muckers at Matador Records. Spunk will be fulfilling Australasian duties as usual, with Trama covering Brazil and Toshiba in Japan.

The album tracklisting goes a little something like this:

Act Of The Apostle Part 1
Another Sunny Day
White Collar Boy
The Blues Are Still Blue
Dress Up In You
Sukie In The Graveyard
We Are The Sleepyheads
Song For Sunshine
Funny Little Frog
To Be Myself Completely
Act Of The Apostle Part 2
For The Price Of A Cup Of A Tea
Mornington Crescent

The album will be preceded by a single, “Funny Little Frog”, on January 16th. Will it be released in a multitude of bizarre formats? Who knows?

A UK tour has already been announced (although 2nd nights have been added in Manchester and Dublin). Glasgow, London and Manchester are a bawhair off selling out, so if you’re planning on getting tickets for those shows you’d better move quickly.

A US tour will be announced shortly. Then Europe. Then maybe Japan and Australia. Ah, the promotional merry-go-round.

Cryptic last bit: There will actually be another B&S album (of sorts) released before “The Life Pursuit”. In three weeks in fact. But we can’t say what it is for a couple of days.
