PEACE!
Flansburgh communicates from the mountain lab:
"Psyched to hear the "Future Soundtrack for America"
received four stars (!!!) from Rolling Stone magazine.
The response has been very positive and big thanks
from TMBG and Barsuk to all the folks for getting their
advance orders in on this disc. It is now available at the
beloved amazon.com, where they also sell The Spine
for a maddeningly low price. Even got invited on the
Bill O'Reilly show (!?!) to argue about it all, but turned
it down, to keep my blood pressure down. BUT OkGo
will be appearing on the Fuse channel this Wednesday,
perilously close to the Republican Convention, to explain
the beauty of this powerful compilation. (so tune in
for that)
