Good afternoon Slacker congregation members, just posting a quick update of all the fun we've been having lately. We had another great run through Europe. The highlites reel is full of fine Indian food, great shows in Paris, Koln, Belfast, and on and on. For me the best part was watching the Specials 30th anniversary soundcheck and then the show from the side of the stage !!!!! We got to open the show which was fun , but we were there to see the Specials! Yes that's right folks the Slackers were total fan boys that night. We all squeezed into out of the way spots to avoid being tossed out and managed to watch the whole show from within spitting distance of the Specials playing for an audience of 15000. It was f'ing awesome, they were awesome, the songs are fantastic, in short all I could have hoped for.

Hey there beloved Slackers fans! I am compiling a "master set list" of all the songs we play and I'm wondering about some of the covers we may have played over the years. As I recall we have pulled a few tunes out of thin air. If you can remember us playing any cover songs from years back or you've seen us do an unusual tune please leave a comment about them. And thank you in advance: I know we do cupid.

I know many of you have been hounding me about a vinyl version of Self Medication and for months I've been saying its coming. Well it really is coming! As of February 18th a 12" vinyl of Self Medication will be available at our fave web outlets Stubbornrecords.com and Interpunk.com, so please drop by those sites and check it out. I have an advance copy and think it sounds great. Of course I'm one of those vinyl fans who think everything sounds better on vinyl. Records just sound more alive, more real, and that helps make the listening experience more complete.
